I daisy chain my power cords

@welderhondadrew Me too, works good.

hey man instead of a half hitch just do the last loop but pull the loop through, it makes it where it cant fail, if i pull on a half hitch itll come undone if you pull on it like that your gonna break the cord before anything else.

@slapoutz Never had a half hitch come undone and been doing it this way for years.

I used the daisy chain and the lanyard knot! My lanyard on my coat broke, and this was the perfect fix, thanks for posting!

yeah man im so anal about my daisy chained 550. i HAVE to have it be the tightest possible....one time i was daisy chaining 100 ft at work (haha busy busy), and after i was done i saw right in the middle was a loose one....i was so effing angry.

@CouteauDeBoucher thanks a friend of mine from the Irish army told me the same, but he said stich the brim together so you get that frill like effect on the brim then starch it, thanks for replying though :)

[CouteauDeBoucher]

@giansantiago starch

[bashfulbrother]

great job. Very inventive

one more way, there are paracord baracelts, up to 25 feet around your wrist. great thing to do specially when you dont always have a hat or your in a formal place were you cant wear your boonie

i have a boonie hat with a stiff brim and for some reason i threw it in the laundry now the brim is soft due to the fabric softeners and its annoying how it covers my eyes, any way to make it stiff again??
