How to Make a Two Color 550 Paracord Cobra Stitch Survival Bracelet

Posted in Blog

Making paracord survival bracelets is a bit of a family tradition for us. The kids love making them with friends while we’re camping, and they’ve done them with their scout troops /dens as well. With a little practice the kids are able to make them on their own. I recommend making a two color bracelet until you get the hang of it. With the two color bracelets, you always start your first step with the same color and it’s harder to get turned...

How to Tie the Ripcord Sinnet (Zombie Apocalypse) Bracelet by TIAT

Posted in Blog

The Ripcord Sinnet Bracelet is my response to the desire for a paracord bracelet that can be untied quickly and easily for emergency use. The bracelet shown in the video provides the use of 12 feet of paracord, from bracelet to single strand, in less that five seconds! Not sure why anyone would need to use a strip of paracord that fast, still you asked for it. So I made it so. *smile* Video production by JD of tying It All...

How to Make a Harbin Heather Bar (Paracord) Bracelet by TIAT

Posted in Blog

Special Link: www.chapterprojects.com The Harbin Heather Bar was inspired by Harbin Hot Springs (an oasis I routinely visit) and a dear friend of Kristen and I named Heather. The bar, like its inspirations, is a dance between comfort, elegance and engineering, presenting for the first time, a “splayed weave” technique I’ve been toying with for sometime now. In short, I’ve long considered the way (some) advanced weaves are presented as far too...

Paracord Knife Lanyards

Posted in Blog

When I have free time or just want to add a little something extra to the look of a knife I make a lanyard out of paracord. For most of my knives I use 550 paracord but when the lanyard hole is smaller I use 450 paracord. I like black and foliage green the most but there is always that knife that looks great with something different. The designs that I use are Square stitch(Cobra), Spiral(staircase), Chris Reeve style lanyard. Enjoy the video. Video Rating: 4 /...
