How do you gut the paracord? Other guys say you need to gut it to get it through the hole, and also to get it through the hole in pace counting beads.

Very nice. Thank you for sharing. Have done something similar, but on a larger scale for a water bottle handle, using discarded medical tubing. The tubing encloses the body of an opened double fisherman's knot. Stainless steel cups and bottles are nice, only they lack handles. The original version was fashioned from a pair of bootlaces, two cord locks, two small leather patches, two small springs, four beads and med tubing. The whole assembly fits around the cup like a harness. The cord locks adjust the sizing. The springs, beads and leather form pads to assure that enough tension exists to secure the harness. The handle bridges the cup, providing a grip like a pail's bale. The hose stiffens the knot making the handle semi-rigid and will allows the cup to be hung from a hook. The world is a more manageable place, after one gets a handle on things.

Thanks for sharing. That sounds like quite the elaborate handle!

@@ParacordPlanet - Have been using it, and a pair of successors, since 2012. The best part about them (other than securing the cup or bottle) is they are removable because, sometimes, cups just get too nasty to drink from - and they must be washed.

What type of bag was that you had

[@ParacordPlanet]

I got it second hand, but it looks to be a VISM small utility pouch.

What size are you using? 1/4” or 3/8”?

[@ParacordPlanet]

In this project, I used 1/4"

Use a candle if you want to melt the ends together, or get a friend to help, unless you're a Martian with an extra hand. 😮
