I usually have my thin smart band on my left hand along with a bracelet of choice (usually the 4mm olive green/2mm black nylon or 4mm orange/2mm black nylon cobra braid)

The simple 2-strand 2mm nylon overhand on a bight loop + double snake knot is on my right wrist always, I never take it off. Also have a similar thing on my ankle always. Despite the possible intricate pcord designs out there I now prefer this super subtle 2mm bracelet or stripped down, thin pcord bracelets.

The 3 older, thicker bracelets 4mm pcord I seldom use, mainly use the mostly black with olive green spine. They're the early experiments.

The necklace is 1-strand 2mm nylon with olive green double snake knot as a bead. I never take it off as well.

The latest is also simple: 2-strand 4mm black pcord bracelet with double snake knot as stopper and the loop has 3 normal snake knots. Did not use the locked snake knot as it twists the cord more. Will update my 2mm bracelet to this config soon.

Still experimenting and looking for a quick and easy toggle or button knot. I can do diamond knot but somehow the spine always gets twisted, so I use the 2-strand ashley stopper with ends tucked in as you see on the pics. Experimenting on cobra knot toggle, etc.

Made a shackles lanyard for deluxe tinker using 2mm nylon rope: Ashley stopper knot through a figure 8 loop on a bight. Previous 4mm black paracord lanyard was distracting, too thick and cumbersome.

I have about 4 feet of paracord in my bag or on my ankle with button locking systems/shackles. Also have hygienic items and protein bar in main bag. Tying knots is my hobby, and rope has helped solve both minor and major issues.

Been knotting for some months now and I sometimes practice the usual knots and do para bracelets. The spouse has dumped a lot of books which slide in the trunk so needed to secure them.

Other knots/truck hitches could've been used in this setup but my mind went blank while tying in the cold, so I reverted to my trusted systems: ashley stopper button through an ashley midline loop anchored to the headrest, and tautline hitch as the anchor to the sides to tie the bag which blocks the books from sliding. Its still secured after some drives and spouse just needs to pop the stopper knots out from the loops to quick release.

Tried small nylon rope on a para core. I like black and orange so the color and size contrast is okay. Incorrectly estimated the black nylon length so I wasn't able to do a double snake finish, but we make do with what we have. Maybe I will make one with an olive green core next time but for now my fingers are aching from all the cinching.
