Very Nice!! I will be using that quite often, I hate just tossing it in the bag. Thanks Bryan!

[dnasplice]

i wold prefer to just tie a knot and loop at the end. the burning is cleaner. but i have found that somtimes they will unbind with force applied.

thanks for the vid guys!

To make the bundle neater, drive 2 nails into a board and wrap around them. Then, do your wrapping around.

[Narrowroadpenn]

That's cool if your hiking and your hooking it on a backpack but for normal storage I just wrap mine around a paint stick.

Key phrase: "It takes a little while". No self-respecitng person has that kind of time to fiddle and fuss with minutiae. Wrap it around the hand, tie it off, and dump it in your kit. It's just para cord!

I can understand this style of cord-storage, but if you ever have to use it, you have to commit to unravelling the whole thing and then re-winding the un-used portion. By tying a large/long cobra-pattern lanyard that goes around your shoulder (as worn with many cadet-cadre dress-uniforms etc), you can conveniently cary many feet of cord, pull-off the length you need and simply seal-off the loose end and retain the general weave without any recover work. Get my drift?

@AirsoftShizsAndGigs
There are many, many uses for paracord. Way too many to list here. But, some are: for lashings, replacement boot laces, pull tabs, and there are several inner strands that can be used for sewing, fishing, small game traps. etc, etc, very useful if not necessary item.

This is basically the same method used in Hojojutsu, a rope tying martial art from Japan. I'm sure it's been around for centuries. Good stuff.

Hey meximelt5150, the correct way to reply to someone so they receive a message is to click the reply button that pops up in the top right of a comment your cursor is on.

[SadamSkywalker]

Thanks! I have been looking for something like that.

[Darrinkt]

I think you should some paracord giveaway

[SteveTheWin]

I use a simple slip knot for my beginning loop, that marks wish loop to pull to deploy my cord. I use this for 50 and 100 ft hanks.

[gladtidingsall]

Wow thanks this is so useful! Love it.

@gotcalves The strings inside the paracord

[ConQuefdedor]

Would this knot be able to store a hundred feet of paracord?

[SteveTheWin]

another good trick is to tie a quick deploy sinnet ( just like the bracelet) but long enough to wear around my waist, I get around 30 ft this way, worn like a belt.

[Away.Aweigh.A.Way.]

It's much faster and more reliable to put a bowline knot/fixed loop at the end, and then use the figure eight method from thumb to pinky to make sure all your loops the same length. I have the ridge line of my tarp hanked at both ends like this and it only takes about 30 seconds to wrap it up.

[dylanlovescheese]

i have to do this with 100 feet so my paracord stash doesn't get so tangled its not fun but its worth it

[wanderingskeptic]

@Original50 But that would be very slow. I think the idea here is to have quick access without having to untie anything.

[Meximelt]

@shives007 good idea that's what I was thinking also ! I like this way the best to store a good amount of para cord !!!
