Someting tells me by the time you got those braclets unraveled you would be ready to hang your self with the cord . Pretty cool though .

Ask and ye shall receive. The first link is the best one I have found, but i wanted to give you a lil variety. I have made about 3 of these. They are a great way to keep a ton of cord in a small space.
About 9 feet for a anklet. I dont wear them but they hang on a pack great.

Seems tough at first, but just give it a few tries. It will just click.

No sweat, I looked for good instructions for a while before i decided on those when i went to make mine. They turn it really nice.
Word of advice keep your weaves tight you can fit more cord, and it is a bit neater looking. But you should experiment, its part of the fun.

Depends what your asking. If you mean will it unravel by accident. No. Is it easy to undo when you need to cord yes. Kind of like pulling shoe laces out. You just work your way up.

Para cord stuff is for the most part very easy and the materials are cheap! I haven't made a sling yet but it shouldn't be an issue. I just need to pick up some large buckles...going to make it a quick detach for cleaning etc.

I got some source links and a couple of bracelet How to's posted here :
Survival Preps: Para Cord - Semiauto Rifles

You can also find paracord and buckle supplies listed on ebay. I picked up 10 buckle sets for around 7.00 shipped.

Nice links. Just got some camo para cord to wrap the handle of my Kukukri knife. I have to learn how to weave it right.

I just made a lanyard for a red LED light I have that I keep on me when camping. Was super easy once you get the first two or three knots down...Now I'm hooked.

Also just made a Ranger pace cord, a lantern hanger, Nalgene lanyard, and wrapped my Ka-Bar sheath with about 50 feet total of cord.

There is a method to use when storing large lengths of rope. Its a looping system that all pulls apart from one end. You can find the method on any good BDSM rope bondage website. (not kidding)

Making a bracelet and stuff might be cool, but the cord just isn't truly accessible enough to be of any use. Trendy though.

I will second the method your talking about. I have a few friends that use it, a lot of electricians use it for their long long extension cords. works like a champ.

Just curious if any of you guys have done anything with this yet, I am thinking about working on a belt, or maybe a sling tonight. Will let you guys know if it works out.
