How to Make a Tactical (Mini Maglite®) Flashlight Strap by TIAT
Loading...
Uploaded by TyingItAllTogether on Aug 27, 2011
Combining the availability of an emergency source of paracord with the mechanical versatility of a tactical strap. This piece will allow you to light your way down a trail or road, while allowing the full use of your hand for making a fist, carrying a bag or knife, or accomplishing delicate procedures, you'd otherwise have to set down your flashlight to accomplish.

Awesome man....

lighthound com. Don't know if it's the BEST price, but it seems good. Lots of colors available. Can't put the full link in. Add the w's and the dots.

This looks great. I still think a headlamp is better though. I'm not knocking you. Love the knots and videos. Just my own preference. They're very practical and hands free.

@TIAT - Love your stuff, man. Do you think a 2 strand-1turn matthew walker would be a better finish at the end then the plain old overhand? Keep up the good work.

@mnornellas - Agreed...a Mathew Walker Knot or (even) a Diamond Knot would look nice as a finish. But for this tie, I found myself focused on function over style, so ended the piece as shown. I also figured military might find this interesting, so I designed it for quick repeatability in the field. To many complex knots, in an otherwise functional piece, has a tendency to turn people away from use. Stateside, we can take our time and make things pretty. *smile*

@TIAT couldn't you do the same thing with any other bracelet weave like the solomon bar or something else?

TENCattleCompany - Take the running ends from the constrictor and loop them through the ring at the base of the flashlight. Then draw them back on themselves. This arrangement of cords will enable you to generate a Solomon Bar strap instead of a Zipper Sinnet strap, as shown. Only, the thickness of the Solomon Bar strap (I felt) doesn't fit as well over the palm of the hand (i.e. hampers the functionality of the piece, slightly). Then again, if you have a massive hand, you should be okay.
