What is Paracord?
"Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. This cord is useful for many other tasks and is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians.
The yarns of the core (commonly referred to as "the guts") can also be removed when finer string is needed, for instance as sewing thread to repair gear, or to be used as fishing line in a survival situation. The nylon sheath is often used alone, the yarn in the core removed, when a thinner or less elastic cord is needed such as when used as a boot lace. Ends of the cord are almost always melted and crimped to prevent fraying.
In addition to purely utility functions, paracord can be used to fashion knotted or braided bracelets, lanyards, belts, and other decorative items. These are sometimes tied in a fashion that can easily be unraveled for use in a survival situation. Some companies use paracord in conjunction with other survival components to create everyday wearable survival kits.
Hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts sometimes use "survival bracelets" made of several feet of paracord which is woven into a compact and wearable form. Such bracelets are meant to be unraveled when one needs rope for whatever purpose - securing cargo, lashing together poles, fixing broken straps or belts, or assisting with water rescues. Young survivalists (boy scouts) are also taught the importance of using the paracord as a survival tool.On the other hand, the paracord is a poor choice for an emergency tourniquet as its small diameter will crush tissue without applying the needed pressure to stop bleeding.
Additional uses for parachute cord are in the manufacture of items such as lanyards, belts, dog leashes, rosaries, and key chains. This is becoming more popular as crafters are discovering this material."

I learned to do that braid, back when I was a kid in YMCA camp Ocoee. that was many years ago. I very much appreciate seeing someone who cares enough to teach this craft the way you just did in the paracord flipflops video. THANK-YOU!

This is one heck of a KZbin gem.

[@annwright5330]

As a great fan of flip flops, I will certainly be trying this technique out, love that knot, thanks.

Obrigada pela aula. Amei

[@catherineaziz2929]

Very Creative, Thank You...

[@nixternal]

Now that was pretty darn cool. I notice from your vids the lighter/torch you are using. Mind linking to it, as I like how it really functioned in this project. Thanks!

[@Paracord101]

Thanks! The link is below. I would rate the lighter a 5 out of 5 on Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002VECI7G/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@nixternal]

I have that same one actually. What is the long black lighter/torch in your vid? I can barely see a flame if I see any flame at all, and it seems to melt the cord perfectly w/o any worry of burning.

[@Paracord101]

Paracord 101 It is a Coleman Torch Grill Lighter that I found at Walmart last summer. It works really well with paracord.

[@darrenkennedy7401]

I tried it out and worked great. However, I took them out and I feel like it shrunk. Maybe sun and moisture? I saw somewhere somebody recommended soaking in hot water to pre shrink them. I may try that next time. I'd appreciate any comments from those who have tried. Thanks!

[@Paracord101]

I would highly recommend preshrunk Paracord for all projects.

[@darrenkennedy7401]

@@Paracord101 Can you buy it that way or do you always need to do it yourself?

[@Paracord101]

@@darrenkennedy7401 Not that I am aware of. I usually use a large pot and preshrink 100 ft at a time when needed and strain it like spaghetti. In summer I put it on a towel outside to dry. In winter I lay it on a boiler register to dry.

[@darrenkennedy7401]

@@Paracord101 Definitely going to do that next time. Good thing paracord is cheap!

How much paracord do you need for the project?

[@edmardiasdac.guerra6749]

Muito bonito, gostei. Parabens

Did u use 4mm Paracord?

[@genieecle5733]

Where we can buy paracord101?

[@genieecle5733]

Hi whats kind of cord is this?

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

The best part is if you get lost in desert wearing these flip flops you can just untie the paracord and use it for your survival needs! Of course, that means you will then need to walk out of the desert barefooted so watch out for cactus thorns.

[@yarpenzigrin1893]

That is quite enough cord to make single strand huaracha sandals and have a lot left over.

[@genieecle5733]

I want to try this to my flip flop

[@semperoccultus1969]

Tip: Baking soda on the super glue and it hardens instantly.

[@michaelgiles5998]

I wish you talk me through the steps

[@ryanhnat343]

I used I fig to feed them through the holes of the flip flop. I think i easyer

[@user-zq2wn6tn1y]
