i wold prefer to just tie a knot and loop at the end. the burning is cleaner. but i have found that somtimes they will unbind with force applied. thanks for the vid guys!
I can understand this style of cord-storage, but if you ever have to use it, you have to commit to unravelling the whole thing and then re-winding the un-used portion. By tying a large/long cobra-pattern lanyard that goes around your shoulder (as worn with many cadet-cadre dress-uniforms etc) , you can conveniently cary many feet of cord, pull-off the length you need and simply seal-off the loose end and retain the general weave without any recover work. Get my drift?
@AirsoftShizsAndGigs There are many, many uses for paracord. Way too many to list here. But, some are: for lashings, replacement boot laces, pull tabs, and there are several inner strands that can be used for sewing, fishing, small game traps. etc, etc, etc......a very useful if not necessary item.
It's much faster and more reliable to put a bowline knot/fixed loop at the end, and then use the figure eight method from thumb to pinky to make sure all your loops the same length. I have the ridge line of my tarp hanked at both ends like this and it only takes about 30 seconds to wrap it up.
another good trick is to tie a quick deploy sinnet ( just like the bracelet) but long enough to wear around my waist, I get around 30 ft this way, worn like a belt.

Key phrase: "It takes a little while". No self-respecitng person has that kind of time to fiddle and fuss with minutiae. Wrap it around the hand, tie it off, and dump it in your kit. It's just para cord!
Very Nice!! I will be using that quite often, I hate just tossing it in the bag. Thanks Bryan!
This is basically the same method used in Hojojutsu, a rope tying martial art from Japan. I'm sure it's been around for centuries. Good stuff.

To make the bundle neater, drive 2 nails into a board and wrap around them. Then, do your wrapping around.
Thanks! I have been looking for something like that.
Wow thanks this is so useful! Love it.
Very cool. Will be using this myself.
I use a simple slip knot for my beginning loop, that marks wish loop to pull to deploy my cord. I use this for 50 and 100 ft hanks.

That's cool if your hiking and your hooking it on a backpack but for normal storage I just wrap mine around a paint stick.

Very nice! Thank you!
So easy. Thanks.

Would this knot be able to store a hundred feet of paracord?
Thanks, I like it.
@Original50 But that would be very slow. I think the idea here is to have quick access without having to untie anything.

@shives007 good idea that's what I was thinking also ! I like this way the best to store a good amount of para cord !!!

25 feet son 7.62 metros
3:29 tiene que parar a 6 feet 1.82 metros.
de que parte de Espana eres?
@gotcalves The strings inside the paracord
nice one
Saludos, el nudo es de 25 pies, lo cual son 7.62 metros
i have to do this with 100 feet so my paracord stash doesn't get so tangled its not fun but its worth it
I think you should some paracord giveaway
kinda silly, why not just tie a not instead of burning it? theres gotta be a better way.

Look at KGBsurvivalist and look at his fast deploy video. It's much simpler and works great. No lighter needed
That is the most stupid knot I ever heard about!!
Just wondering but what is the purpose of paracord?
