WHEN YOU TIE THIS BRAID KEEP THE 7 INNER STRANDS INSIDE!
How'd they do that?
Ever wonder how survival, evasion, resistance escape (SERE) gear sometimes has this tightly woven braid of 550 cord which has 7 inner strands inside its outer sheath that can be used for shelter construction, snares for food etc.?

*************
was on sale and on its end was a 550 cord braid squeezing in a LOT of cord in a very small space acting as the key ring.
The seller's wife, Charlotte Pollard graciously allowed us to videotape her demonstrate how to make the 550 Cord Survival Braid technique!
Others have tried with still photos to show the techniuque but us dumb grunts can't seem to master it, so we hope this video can penetrate our thick skulls!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the fact that she actually removed the inner strands, kind of defeats the purpose...

@88Kamikaze69 DON'T REMOVE THE INNER CORDS WHEN YOU MAKE THE BRAID.
