Great video. Happy to see knot of the week is back. Kick ass.

[@AsusG73JH]

btw, im glad the knot of the week series is back

[@dunfordman]

Just did one with 2 passes around. Right at 50ft of cord. Great video!! Thanks!

[@elpoetacl]

dude totally bad azz. never thought about this before but now am going to start on it

[@greaterthanlasvegas]

First time knotting paracord and the damn thing came out killer. Thanks for the idea, an hour well spent.

[@ITStactical]

Thanks for your support! ~ Bryan

[@killer17751]

YEAH knot of the week is back

[@GunWebsites]

another great idea, thanks

[@Narrowroadpenn]

This is how I weave my electricity extension cords. I never thought about using it on Paracord

[@dinodad32]

I saw this years ago on a fellow Marine wearing one and always wanted to make myself one - now I know how - Thank You ~ Dinodad32

Used to use a single loop when in military remember it makes your head gear up to a pound heavier

[@ITStactical]

Good addition, however, the rear of the MultiCam boonie has a lot going on and with the shock cord adjustment and keeping the neck lanyard there as well it's easier to keep the place where the ends meet to the side. Thanks! ~ Bryan

[@LORDVOLCOS]

ohhh i like this i just might try it

[@a45456565]

Thank you😺

[@Medic594]

Great video. Just found this while I was looking for another video. I basically used this to tighten up a boonie that was to big. It brought it down to perfect fit. So just a thought for future ref, if you're putting on cord you make want at half size bigger hat. Thanks for the video.

[@ITStactical]

It actually doesn't require you to learn the doughnut first and I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks for the comment ~ Bryan

[@CMWally]

put the boonie hot on a hat block and stretch it out slightly when you do the storage sinnet to help offset the shrinkage.

[@martinadejaquiz2482]

cool - thx - hit liked!

[@robt2kgmailcom]

ARRGH!! This worked for me, but in trying to keep the knots tight, I ended up making the hat slightly smaller. Now it feels pretty tight when I put it on. Hopefully this stretches out so I can wear it comfortably again. Unless you guys have any suggestions?

[@facatube]

good. I use cobra knot on mine, it´s no fast deployment but works for me, ;-)

[@ITStactical]

Me reading your comments... "You mean a bight, like I mentioned in the beginning of the video?" ~ Bryan

[@eiojgahum]

Got my bonnie hat at roadeavour!

[@kizbop]

how much paracord was used?

[@Chronoteeth]

take the knot

[@SophiaBloodmoon]

Crochet would work just as well but would go a lot faster. I could do it in about 5 minutes. Good skill set to have.

[@TheFadedFate]

I've been doing this for years as a seacadet...

[@otterwingate7581]

Hey, do you know how to fix the strap in a boonie hat. my mate have me one of his old ones but the strap is gone. would appreciate the help

[@davidrangel5251]

William Hall I would use para cord by removing inner white string and stitching in place of your strap

[@xxreaver117xx]

Paracord knotting: its like knitting but more manly

[@Orthrus]

The list of uses for 550 cord is over 9000, and still counting.

[@SusieQ3]

Its essentially finger crocheting. Using a size J or K crochet hook would probably be quicker.

[@ksingleton101]

Your telling men they are crocheting? What on earth is going on. We have men becoming stay at home Mom's learning how to make clothes and repair socks. This is to funny.

[@SusieQ3]

I don't think crocheting makes you a stay at home mom as my mom who crocheted did not stay at home. However my Vietnam veteran farther did, so either you're just an idiot or a misogynist, based on your comment. Also, I stand by my original statement, it is essentially crocheting not actually crocheting. Get a hook, however and it would be actual crocheting. Also, I have seen one of this channels knot of the week videos where it was actual crocheting so, yes men can crochet, if you're manly enough. It doesn't a man into a woman, just you a moron.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

its called 'daisy chaining'.

[@FOXTR0T1]

Do this in the army, Sergeants reaction: " Cpl. I need to talk to yo..... Cpl? What in the fuck is on your head.

[@ianrickey]

Ask your grandmother how to do a single or double crochet stitch (or the CrochetGeek on KZbin). Both pull out as you describe for quick access in an emergency and all you need is 120 seconds of practice and a $1.80 crochet hook from W@lmart. Much tighter control of style, tightness and a whole lot faster. My guess is about 8 minutes using the crochet hook. Just a thought...

[@ess2870]

I tried, but didn't get any response. I spent hours begging, pleading, nothing.... Should I try a Quija board, or hire a medium next time?

[@skookum_87]

Pretty much

[@AsusG73JH]

2nd?

[@89Newell]

Meh, I don't really like this idea in particular.. and I'm certain the Sergeant Major wouldn't like it too much either haha. but on a side note keep the paracord usages/ideas coming its always good to learn somthing new.

[@Dirtkid98505]

it's not that heavy.

[@TerranCmdr]

Ahhhha, so true. My girlfriend makes fun of me for it.

[@npa4863]

what ever the fuck u need it for... lol

[@zinnsoldat6493]

So hard

[@DRKN98]

first yay

[@LWRCSOPMOD]

what the fuck is the paracord on the boonie used ffor?

[@spyderspic666]

30 or 45 min is alot to you?????????? 1 or 2 hours must be an eternity lol

[@xxreaver117xx]

well i don't understand it when they are little they have barbie, with all her accessories, and when they get older they have knitting, then us men what do we have, AR-15's with all their accessories, and Paracord knotting. Yet we get made fun of i say it is time for this sexist plauge to end.

[@mikebox]

Great idea, but I honesty don't like doing this. It tightens the size, is adds weight, and heat to the main part of your body that cools your body. you loose up to 30% of your body heat through your head. and when you wear a Boonie or sun hat is during the heat of the summer.

[@user-wd4ge2zh2c]

I wouldn't want p cord on my hat either.

[@Cdn0069]

I just roll my 550 cord up and keep it in a pocket in my ruck or on my vest. Would hate to be on OP and have a bad guy scanning with binos notice a nice criss cross pattern dumb ass braided wrap going round my head........ Why things are seen:...shape, texture, spacing, shadow, shine, .... dumbs ass braids....., etc........ The loopholes on the field hat are for inserting foilage to aid in camouflage while on patrol or OP..... not for turning your head into a 550 chord spool. Hey, why not add a few beads or peace symbols in yellow/orange or "meat is murder" slogans as well. Maybe a nice Mickey Mouse button to....or a GLOCK patch.. This troop has too much time on his hands. Sadly camouflage is a dying art in modern armies, and that has spilled over to the many "tactical schools" which have popped up. Too much focus on urban and desert Ops (where the best camouflage is to look like anybody else at the local market). Face paint... whats that? Roll my sleeves down? HUH? Why Sarge??? .... lol We need to get back to our forgotten "green" skills..... just sayin. But then again.. the US soldier is the only one wearing fatigues which fade to an even lighter shade of grey in a forrest or jungle environment. Thats balls.

[@aleisterbroley900]

Might wanna hit up all the Marines using this to store cordage and let em know about your insights, Chesty.
