Default 550 Paracord

Playing with paracord and knives tonight.

Anyone else have any good paracord creations?

I used a "Turks Head" to put a grip ring on a flashlight, which was useful until this particular flashight became mostly worthless. The gargantuan key to the lady's vehicle is on its own paracord keychain, and I used a scrap piece to make a silencer for my key ring, which cuts down on the jangling considerably.

Got a few more utilitarian uses here...

Boot laces - it's a little slippery, but if you "go around the loop" twice instead of once as you normally would, the resulting bow still functions properly, but holds far better.

the little dangly-ball things I have hanging off the bit-kit blades for my Leatherman make great zipper pulls.

I think paracord is too abrasive for the primary grip on a hiking staff, but I have some wrapped around above that spot, which is a better spot for holding the staff while descending. The top part of that wrapping is securely lashed to the staff, the bottom part is secured with a clove hitch and can be easily released.

The turks head above it is just decorative.

At the other end of the staff, I lashed a steel quick link. When I want both hands free, I release the clove hitch on the wrapping and run it through the quick link to make a makeshift sling.

Used it in the Marine Corps to "dummy cord" our gear on long force marches to keep from losing anything.
