This is awesome. Very for useful for repairing your old backpack but also just to have some extra paracord on you, as 3 metres can actually save life in emergency situations. Good job. Thanks for this

I've probably made 10 miles of Cobra stitch in my life, but when I wanted to do it just now all I drew was a blank...amazing what you forget 50 years later. As soon as I saw your first loop I was good to go. Thanks.

Make that 8. Thank you for showing that weave so well. I just did it and it worked great. I did mine longer (13") so I could add a plastic pipe cut to fit around the handle so the cord doesn't dig into my hand like all my tool bags.

Now remove the straps and espread the handle to the right and to the left after that put the straps back on and you have a wider handle, very condortable and with a a better look.

This is exactly what I was looking for but in my case I have a frameless pack with no grab handle how would I attach this to it? Also no d rings on it either.
@SpiffyguyAdventures2 жыл бұрын
if it is frameless I would suspect you need to attach it to the pack. I would probably sew in some loops to attach.

if you don't tighten the knots so tight, they make a much SOFTER handle

Thanks for the info. I prefer the tighter handle myself knowing that it will soften up a bit with use.

is there a way to make a lose hanging handle, where on either side a small carabiner is. for example to carry rollerblades?
@SpiffyguyAdventures5 жыл бұрын
You could do a similar one to this weave, just put in a loop at either side. I would use the biner in place of the frame but put a knot around them before starting the weaving part. That way they don't slide around too much.
