 Greetings friends! This is SurvivalDot. Today I'm going to try out my new paracord that I got from camping survival. I got 1,000 feet of this 850-8 paracord. Now 850 paracord, unlike your typical 550 paracord, which as the name implies, will hold 550 pounds. The 850 paracord holds 850 pounds. Now paracord is a prepper's absolute must have. It has so many uses. We can sit here all day and list the different uses that you can use for paracord, and then we still couldn't cover all of them. So until tomorrow you'll probably come out with a new use. So we're going to open this up. Today what I'm going to use this for is for shoelaces for my boots. And there you have it. Now the trick to using paracord for shoestring is getting these little tips where they will fit through these holes. Especially if you have these type of loops here which have very little tolerance. So whenever you cut paracord, of course you have to melt the tip with a lighter, but you have to get it really small. So for shoestrings, I melt it with a lighter and while it's still hot, I press it with needle nose pliers to get it down nice and small. And it's nice and small and hard where you can pass it through these holes. This is Survival Dog reminding you to be prepared or be prepared to be fleeced.
