Backpacker tricks

Saves room / weight.  Plus it's just kinda cool.

Wanna keep more cord handy?  Make a belt, dog collar, leash, possibilities go on and on.

You can get the buckles off an old dog collar, or Ebay sells them in lots of 10, 25, or 50 for a couple bucks, just don't get the really cheap fragile ones.

Heck, even snap links from the hardware store will work for a belt.

It is kinda kewl & can come in dead 'andy too!

Here's a couple of my recent projects with paracord, a Becker BK2, an SRK Carbon V (custom sheath) and a bracelet as you described. My wife made the bracelet after being unable to put up with my language when I tried !

My next attempt will be to whip a standard M4 fore-end.

I carry a spare 50' or so wrapped around a piece of card in the bottom of my backpack too.

OOLLD thread!  But it's getting to be that season again!

After making watch bands, knife sheaths, rifle slings, and anything else that came to mind.  This has become what I like best if your looking for a practical way to carry some para cord.  It's all one LONG piece.

good idea!

I make the bracelets out if 7 ft of cord. It's pretty easy, how to videos are on youtube.
