I replace my shoelaces with paracord in my boots.I make them longer and wrap the cord around my boot a time or two for more length.Sidearm-Anything from a .22 Magnum Mini revolver to a .40 S&W,not that it is anyones business haha.At least an extra mag with the .40 or an extra box of ammo with the .22 . I have a concealed permit and only go where it is legal to carry. I ASSUME everyone in the woods is armed.I hope so.

I carry my side arm every day because I "assume that everyone is armed" in AND out of the woods. But yeah I carry something in the woods every time I go. but the gun is mainly for the bigger critters I run across. Even when I go fishing in the summer time, I carry my .357 loaded with rat shot ever-other round. For snakes.

HaHa.. I like the idea of paracord belt... but what will you do when you'll have to use it? Running around the forest with your trousers around your ankles? Hmm.. I'm gonna pass ;)

It theory, the belt made sense, but in piratical use it was a mess. I have taken it apart and stored the paracord in a bundle. the belt is history.

I know it's nobodys business, but revolver or auto? I'm leaning towards bringing my .44 out on my first solo hammock hang.
