Got a whole bag or different colors and lengths of paracord from a buddy and have been playing with different wraps and weaves for bracelets, lanyards, keychains and more!
My favorite (read easiest) has been the cobra weave with king cobra around it for more cordage. It’s about 17 feet of cordage total with the inner length at 3 feet, first layer at 4 feet and outer layer at 10 feet.

Also working on making the sinnet knot bracelet nice and uniform but am having trouble and need more practice. This is about 12 feet of continuous strand!

My favorite fun little thing is a key chain. It’s fast, solid and immediately usable. The first one turned out a little wonky.

I got it down by the second one and it turned out awesome! About 2.5-3 feet of cordage each.

Another functional thing is the knife handle wrap. Very tight and adds needed bulk to small handle knives.

An interesting one I saw is the flashlight handle if yours doesn’t have one. I like the idea just not sure if it would get in the way more than help. Guess it will depend on your situation.

A nice way to carry some extra cordage and provide tighter grip is a flashlight wrap. This one had some other fancy knots on each side of the spine but didn’t add them this time around.

Last thing I worked on was starting a lanyard for the wife’s squad radio so it hangs at her hip without clipping to pants. It’s just a cobra weave but it’s gonna be a LOT of it! Made some color option samples, guess which she picked. 🙂

I am also using a lot of paracord to tie up tarps and such so I carry a bunch to play around with in different scenarios. Oh and I used some paracord and pulleys my grandfather gave me to hoist the bicycle up off the garage floor so there’s more room in there now, very practical!
Can’t wait to try something new with this stuff!
