I've seen this! There's another great channel, called "Weavers of Eternity Paracord," which not only teaches a variation of this technique, but includes recipes for bag handles, zipper pulls, and DOZENS of other projects. You've been good enough to show us the tip of the iceberg: thank you (seriously).

Thanks for that great suggestion, @TheSaneHatter! I checked out the channel and subbed there as well. I really need to spend some time doing something useful with my paracord. ;-)
@Daniel_D_King4 ай бұрын
That's awesome. Only thing I would change is put a bowline onto the pull chord end and stopper knot at the top. Then finish it off with a bight through the top so the tension of the pull chord keeps the bight locked in acting as a quick release. Pull the stop knot then the bowline to deploy.
@offthearrowshelf4 ай бұрын
I've used this on a lot of my bags and backpack. One addition that makes life a little easier is adding a bead on the top end. This gives you something to grab hold on when you are wanting to release the paracord loop at the top and also stops you accidentally pulling the loop under the weave. Thanks

So much more sensible than, the tedious to dismantle bracelets. An alternative is to rig up lengths of paracord in chain sinnets (daisy chains) with a carabiner on each end as improvised lanyards that can quick deploy.

I do that on both straps, and a couple of my lighters I carry. So I have nearly 30 feet of cordage if I need it. Very handy if needed, but not in the way if you don't need it. Thanks for the vid, Boss. 👍

I did exactly this on my pack I grabbed for carrying my camera gear on hikes etc. Used it for the first time a couple of days ago when climbing a steep section between 2 large boulders. The cord allowed me to climb without the weight of my pack and then pull the pack up from the top.

I've put these quick releases on the poly straps and top handle rather than the shoulder straps themselves. That way I can have a huge reserve of para without it taking up too much eye-space and being too obvious that it's there. Makes the top handle more comfortable as well.

You can also take the lower portion, and put it up behind the last loop of the upper one, so then if you tug on the lower it first pops the upper out then releases.

I love having a quick deployable paracord like that but I would not put it on the strap of my backpack as I find it uncomfortable when I am wearing the pack. I do use the same way of wrapping for the handles of my pack as I find the added bulk is more comfortable in my hand during the short distances I use the handles for.
@michaelharman-derosier67764 ай бұрын
Cool hack. Quicker one is a figure 8 wrap around your thumb and pinky and a small carabiner to clip it to your pack. Save yourself time. Toss to deploy without tangling.

If you carry polytarp, roll it and wrap paracord for setting up.. and slip extra 30 foot segments on top of the pack to grab first.
@jonahsalyers59794 ай бұрын
I wonder how secure it would be if you want the tag end you pull down on up under the portion at the top you have to pull out. Then you could simply pull that tag end and it would also pull out the safety at the top.

You don't have to pull the whole cord each time, just pull a loop of it and thread the center loop through each side loop.

I'd just keep a quick-deploy hank of whatever cordage I've got, either on top in my pack, or if I gotta have it on the pack strap, hook it with a small carabiner...

You don't need to keep pulling your excess back and forth. Leave it on one side and just pass a loop around the back. Then just flip your long loop through the short one. Much easier to do than to explain!

@whorhaydelfuego7190Ай бұрын
I'd be concerned that undoing the "safety" bit might require too much dexterity in a stressed situation. Maybe instead make and pass a bight through the bight of the release cord? Maybe add beefy stopper type knots on each end to make them easier to grab and pull when needed.
