Paracord Bracelet

[misant]

This isn't by me but you may find it useful.

I could tell you what braid it is but I think with the links above, you should be able to work out what it is.

I have used this exact same braid to make a hatband out of that green paracord.

It is totally innocuous looking (and fairly attractive too I think) and I think I must have close to 10 m of cord stored on my head. I have taken it on planes and into all sorts of places one might be nervous with a big coil of paracord, and nobody has ever thought twice about it.

I will try to post a pic tomorrow.

Got to have a go at this,

Also got to ask the question, where can I get the parra cord from?

There are a few good suppliers on ebay and andrew at outdoorcode often has some. There is a guy on ebay that ships from the US and does a huge range of colours - very good to deal with too.

I liked the idea of the quick release bracelet but don't like wearing one, so instead I made a quick chain sennet of paracord (think that's what it's called - it's looped through itself like sausage links) and have it as a hat band. There must be a good 8 to 10 feet of cord up there (but no, my head's not that big around! ). It's light, sits out the way, quick release and is always to hand.

I made several bracelets now...I have found it takes a good 6 feet of cord to make an 8 inch bracelet.
I like the idea of having a little extra cordage handy .
Thanks for the links and the help yall.

Thank you!

Incidentally the background is a blanket my mother knitted for me years and years ago, when I was just a little kid. (just in case anyone wondered.)

I though the blanket background looked nice, and i like sleeping under those heavy ones.. we used to open the windows in Winter in Louisiana, and get under piles of blankets in bed... slept like a baby..

I've been wearing bracelets made of 2mm cord doubled and tied in a chain knot. Over five or six years I've been through two and used and recoverd the current one a couple of times. Gives me about 2 metres of cord.

Might have to try the belt/watch strap one next.
