Got Paracord?

Alright I'll let you know if I need you to get me some. There's no surplus stores near by, but I might be able to order some on the web.

Chain Gang · **Reply #961 on:** October 30, 2011, 04:13:54 AM

I will send you enough paracord to make a bracelet on the house.This would let you get your feet wet so to speak and then you could see if you want to get into the hobby.PM me if you are interested.

I get most of my paracord from Rotokid.

A "For Sale" sign, and some price tags would make it even more personal

El Rago · **Reply #966 on:** November 01, 2011, 12:57:01 PM

nah, kinda forbidden, the "for sale" part. Funny thing is though, I want to give them away, but nobody is taking. I though free stuff was always good?

It's been my experience that people in an office environment are reluctant to take free items from other workers. They tend to feel that they then "owe" you something.

Made a lanyard for my Arborman MKII, it's an modified monkey fist knot.

I also turned the beads out of aluminum.

nuphoria · **Reply #969 on:** November 04, 2011, 02:53:27 PM

Very nice

There's quite a market out there for nice lanyard beads

I am attempting to make my first bracelet after a generous donation of para cord from Chain Gang. I used the braid in the video linked at the bottom. My only issue is I have no idea what knot to use to finish it.

Any video links?

El Rago · **Reply #971 on:** November 04, 2011, 10:04:06 PM

I would use the double overhead knot.

check TIAT videos on you tube, there is where I got most of my knots knowledge from:

clikc on a knot, and it will link you to youtube.

+1. And don't forget stormdranes blog.

El Rago · **Reply #973 on:** November 05, 2011, 03:32:05 PM

Of course Tattoo, I will give my self a -1 on that by forgetting Stormdrane. Actually the cobra and king cobra stich instructions, I got from him.

and in an idea I got from another forem, never post without a pic:

Captain, here you can see the usual thing I do, and blood knot (the loop) and teh double overhand knot. The bracelet is the zipper sinnet.

This my Christmas paracord bracelet.The light washed out the green and red colors and they are actually much darker and brighter.

I see your getting ready for Christmas.

I used the Camo cord you gave me to make another bracelet of the "zipper" pattern. I will get pictures up soon.

Tactical xmas decorating - love it!

My son needed a thumb drive for use in his computer class, but I could see how it would slide out of his note book and get lost. I used a little red paracord and an S Biner to make a lanyard so he could clip it securely in place. Its a simple job using a hangman's not at each end.

Essexman · **Reply #981 on:** November 19, 2011, 12:07:25 AM

Made some neck lanyards today...

2 foot dog lead and matching collar

I was asked by a customer to make a big heavy pull cord for a bathroom light switch. Blue and GITD

badwolf · **Reply #982 on:** November 19, 2011, 02:01:19 AM

Excellent Essexman, do like the dog stuff

Threeme2189 · **Reply #983 on:** November 19, 2011, 04:09:43 PM

I seem to have lost my beloved paracord lanyard

Does anyone have few yards of olive green paracord lying around?

prime77 · **Reply #984 on:** November 22, 2011, 01:56:05 AM

Here are some king cobra bracelets I have made lately.

Stormdrane · **Reply #985 on:** November 25, 2011, 08:56:15 PM

An 18" long paracord and guacho bead lanyard, loop on one end, swivel snap hook on the other. The beads are tied with 1.4mm cord and spaced between series of two strand wall knots...

AHB · **Reply #986 on:** November 27, 2011, 07:26:04 PM

Whoa, that looks amazing SD..

bladechick777 · **Reply #987 on:** November 27, 2011, 08:01:20 PM

Threeme2189, I Could Make You Up A Lanyard. I Have Some OD Green - Not A Lot, And Some Woodland Camo That I Could Tie A Great Lanyard Up For You.

I have 25 feet you can have. Pm me.

I found yet another use for paracord. I broke my favorite coffee mug handle. So I glued it back together, and to stiffen it, I am using paracord with a ringbolt hitching pattern and will add either epoxy or clear acrylic to finish it up.
