I think I would use this in smaller pieces when I don't want to waste my good paracord. Tie up a bedroll or other similar non-life dependant use. This would be worth $1.25.

ive been using Paracord Planet Paracord to hang trail cameras sense the start of spring 2024. So far its held up great. Longest some cameras were left out were 2 months. works great so far 👍👍

crap product from mossy oak,as it is common with them

Good to see you back bro

Good video, but why would anyone want or need 11 strands? Is that even military spec?

is it really made in the usa?

In the past, I have taken gutted cord and passed it thru a hair curling iron to heat fix the cord into ribbon. This ribbon was then used in braids and turkshead knots. As there was never loading on the material, its strength was never a concern. The main consideration was that it would retain its ribbon shape when the knot or braid was tightened. BTW, since the thrift store sells curling irons at very inexpensive prices, one can buy several and put the kids to work. ;)

I have three preferences: 100 pound test braided fishline, Type I paracord, #32 tarred bankline. All are relatively inexpensive and readily available.

I'm late to the party, but I have been diagnosed with "nasty" arthritis and the only pain I've experienced like yours has been from over-use, no, not that, it was RSI. I overcame it simply by developing new techniques. I got inspiration from watching friends with significant physical impediments find ways to do stuff, really helped me to adjust my technique, which has helped me to continue to use my now deformed and inflamed hands. A low acid diet has helped me too, worth a look. Good luck.

About 16 years ago, I found myself involuntarily exiled from the workforce. Getting old does that to a person. Tho you are spent as a productive worker, you aren't quite dead yet. So, I began walking the dog a lot and took up knotting. That was two dogs ago. There remains many knots in the ABOK to study. I am not an expert but it entertains me quietly. Good luck. Wish you well.

I just used this brand yesterday which prompted me to look for paracord reviews. Worst junk I've ever tried. It did kink badly, burned badly, and the core strands were fluffy like cotton and just didn't cut and burn cleanly. I was so surprised how bad this was compared to every other brand I've ever used it made me realize that not all paracords are equal.

Nice review. ^_^ Cool things rolling around here. Definitely something to keep an eye on. :D

I wonder if these are still available in 2024

After many years of using different brands, Goldberg is by far the best, just my opinion. Yes its more expensive but really, how much of it do you use? I use a lot of different cordage, i think twisted tared bankline deserves its place as a general purpose cord, cheap enough as well.

Leather tooling tools are awesome for smoothing, very cheap, and you get a cool design in it.

Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

Good review and a nice looking belt. There were so many brands to choose from but I'll give Paracord planet a try, thanks for the video ...... Did you say you hauled 100 plus pounds of ammo into a tree stand? Bambi don't want non of that smoke!

I think you use it with your tender as an aide

You have just discovered something to think about l. Wally world and Sam's club don't have a soft drink making plant they go to someone who does and say put some soda pop in these cans and bottles for me. Ok your soda is ready. Same thing with paint. You have enough money you can get what ever with your brand on it

1:47 I have a jig that allows me to set up a hair band between it’s two pegs so I can make “one-size fits all” bracelets (the pegs are about 4” to 4-1/2” apart). I am making these bracelets for former elementary students of mine, who are all about 8-9 years old now. That small jig setting makes this possible, and I am glad I bought it. 👍

You have my sympathies. Been there, done that. Two weeks is the doc just being optimistic. Had this problem due to keyboarding and mousing about. In a separate episode, had foot, ankle and knee issues. Listen to the PT guy. Do ALL the exercises. With work, patience and time, recovery is possible. Altho, no matter what, things will never be as they once were. The best advice is to study what you were doing, then find another way to achieve the same end. Think of a river. Imagine tossing sticks into the current. The sticks will not travel the same paths, but they usually wash up on the same sandbar. There is always another way. Good luck. Wish you well.

Sorry to hear about this. My wife crochets a lot and had that. Her doctor said it was carpal tunnel syndrome. She chose to not have surgery and he told her to stop the repetitive motion and to ice it to reduce the swelling. Like Dan said before me, ice and rest may be your best bet.

Check the wikipedia article "Repetitive strain injury". Knotters and braiders often face these problems. See also the article "RICE (medicine)". Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. RSIs don't happen all at once. They are cumulative, so the recoveries are also slow. Often, the answer is to simply take more breaks. Let your body rest a little. You're not nineteen no more. Good luck. Wish you well.

Very helpful. Thanks!

What kind of scout leader is not prepared

The people who buy them are not making paracord crafts. They are smoking stuff .😢

I know that someone has given

Show me a 8 foot pair of reins with button & button hole end.

If you have nothing else you can use this. But there is much better stuff out there. Real paracord is made from nylon, not polyester.

I cant believe you did that Goldberg joke at the beginning, got to admit, it was funny

Considering the costs, would this be good to pickup for my troop's utility box for camping?

Do you know how to qualify the different finishes for 550 type lll? Sometimes it is mat sometimes shiny and silky…

I just ordered a few spools for the awesome colors

French whipping is much easier and faster that tying all those lmots and flipping back and forth. It also uses less cordage and provides a nice secure grip.

❤😢

When working with spooled cordage, I find a 2-liter plastic cup makes a handy spool carrier. Adding a metal binder clip on the cup rim provides a eye to guide the cordage from the spool. Often, the cup also has room to spare to carry a couple of tools as well as the work-in-progress. Crafting to go! Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

Much easier if you tape the top loop of the cord to the handle then you have full use of both your hands throughout the whipping of the handle.

I bought this in Black just because of the cardboard spool

diameter ?

Can you buy this anywhere other than Ebay?

Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

Thanks for the video. Is this available anywhere other than Amazon?

Cool video. Thank you for posting.

I have about 25 of that exact one, they work great, I buy mine through TEMU and they are less then half of what Amazon setts them for, For my 4mm paracord, it will hold 150 feet very well, for the 2mm micro-cord, I can get about 375 feet on one.. I know this is a 2 year old review, just saying.. This is a necessity, if you are making and selling lots of paracord products, or you just have lots of paracord and need it to stay neat.. The small hole is to put the end in then go to the teeth and wrap it.. Thank you for sharing..

Sorry to sound rude, The flat tapered fig is extremally useful if you are making bracelets with 4 mm paracord and doing detailed weaves, I personally have 6 of them, which I need when doing weaves with 4 to 6 working ends, The thinner one is for 1 & 2 mm micro-paracord and works very well if you know how to thread the cord in it.. Your demonstration of putting the end of a strand of paracord in to the fig was laughable, of coarse it won't stay on the way you did it, you heat the end of the cord flatten it (about 1/4" to 1/2" cut it to a wedge shape, then simply screw the fig over it, I have never had one come off, when it is put on properly.. I thank you for sharing, yet you did this video with a bios to it, you sounded as if you were forced to say something positive.. I have arthritis in my hands so unless I use figs, I can't do any of the complex weaves, I can only do a cobra or fishtail.. Those scissors, are bad, they were not made for cutting paracord, they are for cutting tape, thin materials also for sewing fabrics to cut thread and such, I don't use the thicker figs, cause they are to thick to use for my needs, but there are people who what they do, they are very useful, the bend ended figs for me come in handy when you have to thread a piece of cord through a complex weave.. Thank you for sharing, and be aware, just because you don't like or need it, doesn't mean others don't.. I use jigs to hold bracelets & other things I do, some people does it all freehand..

Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

My preference is for disposable butane lighters. I usually wrap the cases with cordage to practice techniques. Then, once the lighter begins to get flaky, I give it to someone. They are grateful, and I can get a fresh one. The five packs are cheap enough to just store one in the bag for a rainy day. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.

Because I am a tool junkie, I've got most of those tools and have never used the marlinspike because I've become used to using the file on my Leatherman to seal cord because I like the pattern it leaves. I saw a video a while back where someone used a small philips head screw to seal the paracord because he liked the pattern it left. Occasionally, I find a couple of the fids useful but that's about it. What I do find very useful are a pair of Fiskars fabric shears because they cut paracord without slipping as some scissors do and I also like a jet lighter to melt cord because I find it easier to direct the flame to a small area.

I know you referenced it as Cobra. but it is a Solomon weave knot. Common mistake with paracord terms. Another great video, thank you!

I didn't get to comment earlier. The cord is not bad. I've used it just for bracelets, and it's very workable.
