Got my paracord today!

(Image removed from quote.)

Those bundles always gets tangled up on me so I usually do this doughnut thing.. No more tangles and no matter if I'm home or out in the woods I just pull and get the right amount right away.. Took a few hours to put it up but it's well worth it.. The small blue are 15m (50 feet) and the others are 30m (100 feet)

Nice paracord stash like the donuts some great colors as well.  :tu: :like:

Stormdrane great how to!

CP l like the  Bic wrap I did one last week mine did not turn out remotely as nice as yours.

I made another SAK case with better colors and I made belt holders out of the left over cord.

Thanks! Really make things easier. Just pull and get the right amount without tangles or when heading out I can just toss a doughnut in the bag

Made a handle wrap on my Maglite. It's much easier to grip it now. The handle is thicker and less slippery.

Yes, she said the same thing, too...

 :facepalm:

That's a celtic button on the end. Easier to pull the flashlight from bag and easier to unwrap the paracord, if needed.

Thanks! I like it because the Maglite is more "linear" this way, I get a better grip and awlso have about 1,2m / 4ft. paracord at hand.

I have an old mouse ball was going to try to make into monkey fist, it's about 3/4" to 7/8" diameter, can I get away with four passes? anyone know the general rule for size/passes, I dont have a jig seems like it's harder to do 5+ with no jig

I was able to make one with 4 passes on the mouse ball, came out ok until the end and I realized I missed a pass on the last row, but was still able to feed the cord through, it's kinda big, more like a fidget toy, not sure what it can be used for except bashing a squirrel  :rofl: not that you could ever get close enough and they are cute

I need to learn more paracord knots. I did one snake knot on my AG Russell Arkansas Hunter to accommodate pulling it from my pocket or belt sheath, but that is about it. There are some really cool ones on here.
