I tried looking for this answer in this sub and can’t seem to find it so maybe you guys can help.

If I want to make my 550 braid super tight, should I wet it beforehand? If not, is there anything technique wise that I can do that can make my braid REALLY tight?

Thanks in advance.

My husband is looking to get into paracord art. Likely with military flair like wrapping paddles, things like that. I want to get him completely set up with a starter kit for Father’s Day but don’t know anything about paracord myself. What tools or books really made life easier for you guys when getting started?

I'm making a strap for my day pouch and am having difficulty finding specific recommendations for flat woven flat paracord. What would you use? A ladder?

Does anyone have any tutorials or instructions to make a bag like this? Thanks

I like the cobra buckle from austrialpin but its a bit wide and im looking for someone who knows how to make like a half sized one or just a smaller one in general.

I've been paracording now for about 10 years and I've decided to start selling my handmade items to make a Lil bit of extra money.

Do you have tips for this?

Tips for advertising on Instagram?

Tips for vendor events?

Thanks in advance.

Single continuous braid came out to about 10 feet of "rope." I wonder how strong it is? Guess I'll swap out the carabiners with quicklinks and see.

I want to make my own lanyard for items that have extremely small loops. I have seen such lanyards for phones with this terminator with an extremely think loop attached. Is it possible to buy these and crimp them onto the paracord at home? If not, are there any compelling alternatives?

I went super pared down with this one in an attempt to carry through the more traditional materials in this knife.

I make dog collars for my local animal rescue shelter. I do cobra weave with all of them as they are quick and easy. But, I follow the rule of 1 inch of neck equals 1 foot of cord plus 2. I come up short on cord almost every time. I am doing choke collars in video found here :https://youtu.be/U2gnPwGUcsY?si=ndGT8gJ1kSrQS_00

I was messing around with a chainsplitter, some bicycle chain and a 5p piece some weeks ago and today I've realised it's ideal for pushing that stubborn fid through very tight weaves. Yes, a 5p coin is a perfect fit inside 6 standard links.
