r/paracord

I haven't seen anyone post about this, or if it's genuinely considered paracord. I saw this on Amazon and thought it looked interesting:

It's definitely different. Much better in some ways than heavier rope and cord from other sources. Still experimenting with it though. Photo shows para-max and regular paracord next to each other.

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.

This is my second attempt at this, first was with 275 this time it’s 550

The tool is for firefighting and the holes supposedly have their purposes as different square wrenches but I’ve never used them, nor do I know anyone that has.

Hi, i want to tie paracord around this so its more comfortable in the hand. But i dont know how with the edges where it can slip off.

I bought 550 paracord 4 mm diameter.

I followed a tutorial and I'm pretty sure I made it correctly. However, it keeps turning into Y (probably due to tension) but it'll never slip through the loop because the loop is small enough.

Check photo 2, I can do that because it sits somewhat loose on my wrist. My question is could I trim the burnt pieces, untie the knot and move it slightly backwards so I get it tighter on my wrist without needing to twist it and move around?

Should I even bother with this and risk ducking it up completely?

Hello!

I'm a total newbie. I bought a bag of paracord bracelets from a local secondhand store to find patterns that I like. I REALLY like this one, but I can't figure out what it's called or find a tutorial for it. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Here is the second round of lanyards. I took everyone's feedback to heart. The Navy blue paracord on the Borka SBTF is 550 with two internal strands removed. The black lanyard on the Anso Aros is 325 paracord. I am now thinking black and blue knots on the SBTF would look good, so something along those lines will be my next attempt. I do like the Navy blue on that knife better than the solid black did previously. Thank you all for your feedback, and always looking for more!

Not sure what it’s called but it’s a cobra knot using 550 and 95 cord.

Some fun little guys made to quick deploy from their carabiners. I think they turned out great. Hopefully they’ll be fun for the kiddos.

Made a bottle holder for a friend. Can be attached to a stroller or so. (I'll add a knot so it only does open wide enough for a bottle but not enough that a kid can get their head through) n the 3rd picture you see my inspiration from the rainbow one I bought. And my first attempt 😅 I used 3 meters. On the finished one I used 4 meters.

Couple I did for a customer & one as a teachers gift! Go wolves
