How to Tie the Dragon Egg (Paracord) Pouch by TIAT

Purchase Paracord As Seen In This Video Here: amzn.to/3yGWTSU
[Instructional Book] Paracord Fusion Ties Volume 1: amzn.to/2VR8Arl
The Dragon Egg (Paracord) Pouch is the fusion of the base for the Secret Compartment Fob (i.e. Hexagonal Crown Sinnet) with the technique used to make the Backbone Bar. Together these two ties make a pouch, that's as sturdy and functional as it is nice-looking. Moreover the pouch (if taken apart) is a source of 36 feet of emergency paracord (three 12 foot lengths)!

[@schaeffj]

thank you so much for making the base for the secret compartment fob so much clearer and simpler. to knot or not to knot, that is the question.

[@shalom2954]

Thank you very much for the tutorial it was hard to understand the pattern but once I got it the process was pretty smooth. I changed the top a little, I made 3 diamond knots and 3 loops to put the loops around the diamond knots and it made a pretty good method of closing this thing. thanks again for the tutorial it is the only one I found on KZbin and also it took me well sped 4 hours

[@bemorehavemore]

I love this design! I am making a few for my nephews and sister for fire-making kits. Just a quick tip for remembering where you are in the design....( helped me!) 1) If it is looping its own color, it is a front door slip-knot (the owner comes in through the front door) loop goes down into the knot. 2) If it is looping another color, it is a back door slip knot (I guess neighbors gotta come in through the back door! lol) loop comes up from behind. Hope this helps someone else! Chris

[@tanalee09]

I can hardly wait to try this one...after I catch up on my Bible reading. Both are great stuff! Thanks, JD!

[@sihlenisershongwe2713]

Hard to follow, but it worth all the time I have. Good work

[@tanalee09]

As much as I brag about JD's tutorials being some of the best on the web, I couldn't follow the base knot to save my soul. Fortunately I have his books and was able to follow the instructions for the base knot of the secret pouch there. I used approximately 12 feet of 550 paracord, and ended up with a pouch about 3 inches high, and leftover cord about 8 inches in length, except for a 6 inch runt. I'm not crazy about the finish. I might run a single cord through all the loops on top and add a ranger knot and stop knot, if I can figure out how to finish the other six cord ends.

[@peacefuljeffrey]

JD, I finished another one of these tonight (red, white & blue, very cool). I did the top differently. With shorter loops, I did the Lark's Head thing, but took each blue cord and put it through three of the Lark's Heads. The result really cinches the pouch closed more affirmatively than the six strands do.

[@havox41]

I don't know if I'm mesmerized by the craft or by the music. Either way, it was magnificent :)

[@teariana1]

I just made this with a couple variations, turned out great. For the base I used a star knot, which starts with the base you used and adds an extra element, since I wanted this to show I didn't flip it. I don't know if it's because I used 550, but it didn't expand as much as yours, I also needed it to cinch in better, so I took some extra cord doubled it threaded it through the larks head knots, made a larks head from the doubled end threaded the other ends through that Celtic button finish.

[@lauranikko]

Just like always .... the best!!!! Really missed your weekly video.... but this time it was worth the wait..... thanks!

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

try it. It's the best hobby I've ever done.

[@ybtigr]

Yes, how can it be made to close completely? This would be very helpful to know. Thank you.

[@rathmiron]

yes, i've done that too, with diffirent cord, because i wanted a tighter weave. only the more cords you use, the more difficult it is to tie the base

[@TheKayaker71]

I saw your Dragon Egg Pouch a few weeks ago when I first started paracording, and thought "I'll try that when I have a few months experience.". I tried to build my own tonight ... um, I'm sorry! I think my version is what my mutated para-frog hopped out of! It is worth noting exactly how important it it to have those ribs all an equal length! lol. But for a first, I'll leave it as is. A reminder to be precise. I will post it for Benedict's Weekly Challenge in a.m. THANK YOU JD - great video!

[@anthonymarshall7178]

I have made 2 so far. my wife loves them. make great nick nack storage. and look good.

[@grantshepherd7225]

Thank you for this awesome idea it is very practical for everyday things

[@d3at4r0ut3]

i really love this and appreciate you putting this up, i'm actually going to make it for a friend of mine. again thanks

[@jameshall3996]

I had a question: how to add more lines to the pouch to increase the overall diameter? I have mad a couple 4 strand (eight outer lines) using a ladder knot as a base, but I was wondering if there is a better knot to start it with....

[@kanesailor]

did this with only minimal redo on the starter knot used scrap to practice it 12 times before i used the proper length chord turned out great only wish there was an easier way to finish it off maybe some fancy work to make it a lanyard (yes i am a sailor) of some variety also can it be made bigger?

[@Loremastrful]

I hard difficulty with the base too. I'm going to practice it a few times with some scraps. The extra long length of the basket cords make it hard to handle.

[@tanalee09]

I recommend that you give yourself maybe even a foot of extra cord in case one end mysteriously comes up short (as one of mine did). Make sure your first loops are all the same size, and in the correct order (if you are using more than one color).

[@PADMAREDDY.]

you are very talented.very impressive.

[@peacefuljeffrey]

Most excellent! I just made my first one (02/16/12). I love this design! =D

[@dieseldragontamer]

Does this have a practical use, and if so what would they be? I thought maybe to carry my marbles, but ive lost them all!, lol

[@onefive151515]

Man! Who first comes up with this webbing must be genius!

[@MyceliumMark]

This is a great video but I was wondering how I could make a larger version of your design. I have these poi heads made of 1/2" Kevlar rope (at least thats what I ordered I think it might be slightly thicker) that I tied with the help of another KZbin video named the Inferno Knot. If you look it up its like the first one, but if you watch to the end it shows the heads next to a beer bottle and that is about how large my heads are. So is there a way to make a pouch that big?

[@astrofishy35]

hi JD, i was wondering, is there any knot that you know of that would make a Semi-flat pouch? i wanted to try and make a knife sheath out of paracord. if you know of any please reply. thanks!

[@mreverythingperson1]

could you keep making the first base knot over and over to make a wider version of this pouch?

[@jazzdennis6062]

ronnie redrocker, thanks for the advice, very much appreciated thanx

[@S0lsed]

It would be possible to tie this with any number of cords, wouldn't it? To make it wider?

[@madfishinskillz]

Could you do a slower version of the base? I couldn't figure out what went over what or which string went under which. I know you already do it slow, but I think verbal instructions would help with this. I want to make this so bad but I cant make the base!! AAaahhh help!!

[@NuggetMaven]

Very trippy music!!

[@AngieHimes]

the base is FRUSTRATING!! Day 2 of trying it!!! :)

[@armandogutierrez5076]

Thanks the video was grate what happens to your finger

[@MikeDoubintchik]

Is there a way to make a knot with 8 lengths of rope to make a larger diameter pouch?

[@panditavina415]

Amazing all videos 👍💗😘💌💌😘

[@Teaj383]

....0.0 wow.... hey, say you were insane and wanted to make it bigger, would you just use more cord in the original slip knots?

[@imaginemakecreate7651]

Beautiful

[@mikeynjs94]

Could you make it bigger by adding a fourth or a fourth and fifth cord?

[@jslav3756]

Is it possible to get a bigger base for this type of pouch, like 4-6 inches? If yes, what tying technique should I use?

[@skippy8799]

i have a question JD is the paracord gutted? ~Kade

[@peacefuljeffrey]

As I was just tying a Jellyfish Fob, it occurred to me that a larger Dragon Egg Pouch could be made with the 8-strand base of the Jellyfish Fob. I think I'll start one of those tomorrow.

[@rathmiron]

@AFullIgloo i believe you just have to use more cords, just as this pouch used a cord more compared to the utility pouch

[@HrafnNordhri]

Thanks for this JD, its great.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

his secret compartment video shows the same starting base. Maybe it'll be more detailed there.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Thumbs up if you think JD should team up with kevingg2000 (The Paracordist) to make some truly awesome weaves.

[@1krazyredneck]

to make it larger could i just add another piece of 550 cord and tie the same way?

[@rommellofamia652]

how to make this in rectangle shape? how to make this in bigger size?

[@her0de84]

could I use say 4 strands at 20ft a piece to make pouch for something like a 2liter bottle size?

[@SpiritOfTheOpera]

Do you know how to make the dragon base larger?

[@AFullIgloo]

if i wanted to make a bigger pouch how could make the bottom base bigger?

[@CrystallineGallium]

I really want to make this, but i've never even heard of paracord before. Does anybody know where I can get some?

[@purefineart]

Great tutorial, mine turned out great, although my kids have discovered it not a pouch at all its a hand grenade and they need many :)

[@trekking_light]

JD can you do this with more than six cords?

[@ronriffs]

If your holding it with its shape and you flip it over just flip it over so you can see the outside of it and continue the slip knot.

[@jazzdennis6062]

when you flip it and its flat, when is starts to get its shape how do you flip it? do you turn it inside out? to do the opposing flip knot??? please, im so confused!?! please help

[@rathmiron]

@astrofishy35 JD has another knot, i believe it's called the utility pouch, that's basically the same as this one, except you start with a JD has another knot, i believe it's called the utility pouch, that's basically the same as this one, except you start with a crown knot. you could use the idea of that one, with the amount of cords you would need

[@crazewolfe5734]

ya tht sounds kool ! im rely interested

[@st006]

Excellent!

[@hunterbrinkworth9118]

Omg i live this. I could put my dice in it one i can make it! XD

[@tsukanitakuda7261]

mine came out long and skinny... i shall use it as a quarter pouch!

[@acetelvanni884]

can this be done with 3 8 ft cords? >~< i only has those.....

[@AQrdmbmaster]

plz make a more simplified version for this :()

[@cartergorman8872]

Could someone please get Weaver's of eternity or Whyknot to make a tutorial for this, cause, ya know, they freaking talk and take their time and actually explain things.

[@lareinarojadelanoche6761]

Love this!

[@user-jr7ww2gf1h]

The base crown knot is so annoying I need help now!!!!!!!!

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

I have one made with red, OD green, and hunter green. I could post a video on it later if you're interested.

[@saltaireluke]

where do you buy 450 paracord I can only find 550 paracord

[@kellybeard4956]

Where is the best place to buy your cord?

[@lokimicheif318]

I would say online but if you want it faster Hobby Lobby has 100' for 8.99.

[@triumphmanful]

Amazon- Midwest Supply 100 ft. for $8.99 with FREE SHIPPING & NO TAX ! !

[@diannaolson1507]

mine turned out fantastic due largely to an excellent tutorial thanks

[@TheRandomHobbyist]

@TyingItAllTogether Well, I see two likes but considering the overall awesomeness of this video, there should be more.

[@Rubikorigami]

This musics si from Osmos, right? It really is the same.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Now how much would you pay?

[@teariana1]

For other folks, having trouble with base, pin it to project board with the side you want inside and use Fabri-tac, it's sticky like hot glue. Let dry, voila! Cords too long? You goofs, wrap excess cord around your hand and get some handy-dandy rubber bands and tie them puppies up! Silly peoples. :-) Well, hey, at least I got a laugh out of it, hope you did too. Last, but not least, clockwise inside, counter clockwise outside, I had to take mine all the way down and start over, lol.

[@rockuboi9121]

the only thing i can say about this is: cool

[@amanda60005]

notice the band-aid? :)

[@Pouttnik]

nice work;-)

[@SpiritOfTheOpera]

You wouldn't by chance have any tips ideas or links on how to make, say an actual bag (like messenger or back pack with a flap or draw string)

[@makedana]

Is fantastis you work of knot.You are machine knot

[@crazewolfe5734]

I have a hard time with this. I would buy 1 from somebody if u wood sell 1. I live in Ohio if tht helps. Thnxs

[@xenonram]

What would you use this pouch to contain?

[@teaschtuff596]

I am going to use mine for sling shot ammo but it could be used for anything

[@user-jr7ww2gf1h]

That looks so cool! Can u put stuff in it?

[@jvr3dkn1gh7]

Yes

[@triumphmanful]

buffalo dung

[@TheLazysketcher]

What is the gold-colored paracord used in this video called?

[@triumphmanful]

GOLD PARA CORD

[@ellectra13]

Music, from Spore. :D

[@nessabush1986]

This knot took me an hour

[@Walterispyro]

Great job I didn't make mine bid enough so I just made a paracord grenade

[@fifemaster100]

@astrofishy35 knot(pun intended) a good idea to use paracord for a sheath. it is very prone to wear and tear due to a sharp bade going against the paracord. highly dangerous

[@MegaSmileish]

You have very nice fingers...

[@triumphmanful]

chubby girl looking for a man

[@briankeener9749]

whats the base knot called

[@hailiepincy]

what kind of cord??

[@theothegreekthunder1938]

Does the top close

[@honrethgaming8347]

Any chance of you NOT putting in music and actually explaining what you are doing?

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

looks like a bunch of backbone bars.

[@astrofishy35]

@rathmiron thanks for replying!

[@nicholaspearse2222]

what is the height

[@TheKayaker71]

It got me too!

[@ThatDudeWhoDoes_it]

Hmmm... Looks like sum I'll do later

[@jasperadams1378]

What is the name of the base knot, I need to know

[@onyxdrakkenblade4587]

+Jasper Adams the base knot is a crown knot or crown sinnet if tied in series.

[@user-jr7ww2gf1h]

+Onyx Drakkenblade it's a hexagonal crown knot

[@onyxdrakkenblade4587]

Hehe a hexagonal crown knot is still a crown not just like a double mathew walker is still a mathew walker

[@PhKnight]

If it were larger it could be used as a quiver

[@staceybowden5617]

same thing I was thinking i need to know the exact height and the length of the arrows so i can do the math. Height - [arrow - (fletching + nock)]

[@PhKnight]

nice

[@teaschtuff596]

Could you just make the loops longer? This would make a very cool quiver!

[@Koalavo]

thumbs for a give away on this 200th video like so he can see !!!
