I am thinking of making a belt to use on the outside of my cloths for knife and pouch, I will try a 4 strand plat in paracord, however any idea on buckle?

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
You could try two rings or D rings instead of a traditional buckle. That way you dont have to worry about holes for the tine of the buckle.
Just thread the loose end of the belt through bth rings then back over one of the rings and under the other. The tension naturally holds it in place.
If you need some heavy duty rings PM me, I have a number from old horse tack.

i made a belt last summer out of an old washing line as a test to see if it would work, made it like a para cord braclet http://www.bns-code.org/?view=pages&id=4 and just put some clips i bought of a camping shop to buckle, looked good and you could always undo it and would have enough cord to put up a few tarps!

I intend to!, trying the paracord as a test, just need to find a big enough crop of nettles!
May need to wait until next season now!

You could always troll around some charity shops for some old 2nd hand belts with nice buckles, i've a few belts i made using them.
