Cool. Tag.

I love paracord. Whenever I see a spool on sale, I just buy it. Don't need a reason. Needless to say, but I could build a paracord fort.

Even though it seems you are just messing with him, I laughed my ass when I read it.

OP: That's pretty damn cool. Now make me some cool shit (I like the pull cords for zippered stuff) and send it to me for evaluation

Fobs and such can be useful as well as a method of keeping spare paracord handy, but Im a lazy bastard so I just keep a spool in the truck and in my packs.


why not knit yourself something really useful like a paracord banana hammock or vest or something?

Do you know how to make the paracord bullwhips? I want one(maybe more) of those.

One place I was looking at online will make a 16 plait whip for $8 a foot. PM me if you can make them.

I have a cousin in prison that does amazing things with Horse Hair.

He sells it for extra commisary money.

ETA:  I forgot to mention, if you'd like to learn more about rope art....do a youtube search for SHIBARI

Ya you guys make cute little knots and braids, can you knit a sweater?

A monkey fist in Alaska precedes the tie line and consists of a center usually of steel.  If you walk out the galley door and take one to the mouth during a tie up, you will remember it for the rest of your life.
