Bought this backpack 2nd hand and it came with this handle knot that I am trying to replicate. Thanks!

I'm crawling all over YouTube and the tutorials are shite.

I'd like to make a Monkey Fist with a lanyard around a 1.5 inch Steel Ball.

And, in my US State, they are legal to conceal carry because I spoke to a County Sherriff this morning. Straight from the horses mouth.

I have a jig that will do a monkey fist.

Maybe with a 18" lanyard with a loop for my hand at the end?

Can someone direct me to some good tutorial?

I'd really appreciate any help you could give!

Thanks, and have a good one.

Hi! My aunt bought me this bracelet around 6 years ago. It became a little lucky charm that's been with me through multiple entrance exams, a plethora midterms or finals, job interviews, scuba diving, rock climbing, and travel to special places. It's been with me through almost everything.

The way that it attaches has started to wear through the paracord. The sharp points of the tail wore through the portion of the cord corresponding to the length that I like it at.

May I please ask for help in identifying the knots I'd need to replace the cord? Or even some knots you'd all suggest I'd incorporate? I'm in my last year of post graduate studies and when I finish writing my thesis or receive my diploma I'd love to have this with me as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

The base or casa knot is five leads and four bights. It is intended to be a scout woggle.

Left bracelet appears slightly darker since it’s the oldest of the two, I just whipped up the one on the right a few days ago so the color is still brand-spanking new 😎👍

Really like the colours on this one and finally getting better at the diamond knot doing it without watching the video to recreate

Fun little nicknack lol

Hi all, I’m setting up a haunted trail this Halloween and need advice on making walls out of black plastic sheeting.

The plan is to run a line across the path and drape sheeting over it. Some sections will be anchored to trees and others to galvanized metal fence posts, so the line has to work across both anchor types.

What I need:

• A line that’s strong enough to hold the sheeting in place when there’s some wind, with people brushing against it as they walk through
• Advice on what kind of line (paracord, rope, wire, etc.) and how much tension to use
• A good way to connect the line to a tree versus a metal post without damaging the tree
• The maximum distance between two anchor points before the line sags or needs an extra support

Thanks in advance!

I had a T-bar knot there but wasn't satisfied with how loose it sat on my wrist. Also the loop isn't exactly the largest but kinda works. What should I do? I could fuse some cord together and then maybe try a diamond knot instead? How would I pull that off?

Im sure someone has probably already done it but this is my own creation with cobra weave. Didn't finish it cause its an inch too small for my wrist lol must have accidentally pulled the length strands when i started

Hello all,
I’m looking to tie a lanyard of sorts for this old pocket knife. I don’t need it to be like a work of art but I might find a cool bead or trinket to put on the end of it. The main reason I want to have it on there is so I can always have a little cordage on me should the need arise. I have a good amount of experience in knots, bends, and hitches but I’ve never attempted any sort of braiding. Anyone got any names/ recommendations for different ways to braid it that would store a good amount of cordage?

Hello,

I never used paracord, outside of the 275 type I 2mm "paracord" for zip pullers, but now I need some to make a lanyard to attach my 140 grams Victorinox to a clip (I think I need a two closed loop knot, one to attach to the keychain ring of the SAK and another to attack to my pocket clip so if you have any tutorials for something that would work for something like this please share it to me as well)

AliExpress paracord is cheap, but I don't know if it's good enough

Amazon paracord is a bit pricer, but still affordable (brand like EdcX)

Which should I purchase? Is it a buy where I can save money or should I get quality one?

Links would be highly appreciated :D, in DM if possible, as Reddit blocks a lot of AliExpress/Amazon links

I'm really wanting to make this as a birthday gift for someone - I'm fairly sure these are cobra knots but I'm confused with all of the colors. Someone commented this as a tutorial but the colors are different. The tutorial uses two colors where this bracelet looks like it has four (green, orange, black, purple/gray.) https://youtube.com/shorts/zkAFhgwbS4M?si=K6qEdmf3MwdhFWpN
Any help would be so so appreciated :]]

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 watched a bunch of tutorials but I always screw up on the tightening part where mine gets some weird shape instead of looking like a perfect sphere. Also, I lack the cord length on my current bracelet so I was wondering if I could extend it to try and do the diamond knot? The only fear I have is it snapping while on my wrist.

I'm in Canada and I have found it to be very very difficult to source a lot of the beautiful colors that pop up on Instagram and tiktok while scrolling along.

My main source is Stapletons/Canada Paracord. While they have a lot of colors, they don't have any of those trending pastels, neutrals, and in between shades and variations that places like Paracord.eu and Paracord planet have.

I don't know how much I feel like getting dinged with a load of duties from either of those places by attempting to order from them. Plus the cost is so much higher per foot as well.

Has anyone found any other Canadian sources that carry more trendy shades and colors/patterns? Where do you get your paracord from? Sidenote, I mainly make horse tack and dog collars, so yes, cute popular colors are important to me! TIA

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.
