Yet ANOTHER use for paracord! Is there anything it cannot do? GREAT video! Also - for that bag-o-tricks - the "frosted" edge of your car window, you know - the part that has the 'ground-edge' so it doesn't cut you,..... has just enough 'grit' to it to put a nice edge back on a knife as well. The bottom of an everyday coffee mug has this same "grit" in it as well. A few strokes and,........ back in business!
