After watching this video, I wrapped one of my walking sticks using this method. Some advice: Make your knots tight, I mean put on a glove and really get down on it. Make sure that you " Twist it " until it's tight after a few wraps. If you don't make it as tight as possible, it will slip out on you. Paracord typically makes good knots, but for this application, the knots must be extremely tight. I used this method for latching a flashlight to the middle of the same stick, but I didn't use Paracord. I used #32 bankline and bankline, which actually makes tighter knots much smaller in diameter but still around the 350lb tension strength of 550 Paracord. It didn't come out as pretty as Paracord, but it definitely isn't going anywhere Overall, good video and easy instructions
I use this wrap a lot for military retirement gifts that I do. I learned from someone else but I'll definitely be sharing this video with other people that want to learn. Good stuff!
Hello, if you have other ideas for walking sticks or canes I'm curious to see how we can customize our walking sticks for example, using one myself I'd like to customize it but I can't find ideas that are both not too complicated and pretty, so if you could show us some examples of what we can do on a cane it would be nice as a little video, right?
Took me a few tries but I got it. Directions said to use 12 feet of paracord for about 6 inches of coverage, i had to double that for my kids' hiking staff so he can grow with it.
I've done this without adding the hand loop just to experiment so thanks for that, did you know you can reverse the direction to take it back up and down that gives it an unique look.
Looks pretty cool, I consider using it for a fishing rod handle. I wonder how well it sticks though? if you're putting it around something with a very smooth surface, it's probably a good idea to have something for better grip underneath 🤔
This was pretty cool, do you have any other versions or ideas for wrapping a handle? I just bought my first light saber and kinda want to do a handle wrap to add to the look and make it a bit different than everyone else's.
Is there a DIY way to join two 1mm elastic threads/cord to each other to complete a loop/circle. In real life some small hair rubber band kinda accesories made out of elastic threads are jointed that way. It looks like some sort of heat press was used. If you can share a hack then I would be grateful
Worked good, however I only got about 1 spiral out of 12 feet of cord. My stick is a lot thicker than the one you used.. which probably explains it. I also wish more videos were made for left handed people so we didn't have to figure out how to reverse everything.
You have a crazy skill on explaining things in the most complicated way possible. Low key I feel like it would be easier to just watch the video without sound. Dope video though. I'm really upset that all of the videos with cool thumbnails are literally a one minute trailer
I have to turn the volume off. 😂 One was a story about his torturous night of camping. It was so dangerous and exciting that he never went back. There were bugs and critters and he had to eat marshmallows that he had to cook himself. To top it all off, he had to sleep in the ground! The nerve of those people!

I just did this on my own walking stick. Worked perfectly fine the first time, even the measurements were spot on. Thx.
Perfect! Fixing up my Brazos walking stick with that today. I plan on using the firecord type paracord. Thanks for the clear instructions.
that is a great wrap for a katana, sans the loop, or a mace, war hammer, flail etc with the loop! i like it!
One of my favorite covering hitches. Well done, thanks.
Good video! I just wrapped my walking stick and it looks great!
I went to visit the battleship nj recently and saw all the handrails wrapped like this on most of the stairs
Really nice idea and easy to do myself.
Thanks!

Worked well for my hiking pole. Thanks!
This is my quick rap for when I'm in a hurry. Cool video.
What'd you recommend when not in a hurry?
I did pretty much the same thing for my hiking staff, but used a bowline for the loop.
I've done this without adding the hand loop just to experiment so thanks for that, did you know you can reverse the direction to take it back up and down that gives it an unique look.
Nicely and easily done. Thanks.
Very cool! Will this work on an axe to protect the handle from overstrike? Thank you
Very nice🎉
That would make a Very Nice Swifer handle.
Looks pretty cool, I consider using it for a fishing rod handle. I wonder how well it sticks though? if you're putting it around something with a very smooth surface, it's probably a good idea to have something for better grip underneath 🤔
I glued down the first string and last one and it worked great
Nice, what about steering wheel paracord wrap?
That “sleight-of-hand” on the first overhand knot threw me. I had to slow it to 23% to see it. I couldn’t get the first step to look right.
Great video, except I used 15 cm like you recommended and it was good for like 4 loops around the stick haha no big deal though, got plenty!

Awesome video brother.
Hi. Do you think this would work on a non cylindrical object? Like a racket grip that is not really round?
It would definitely still work on a non-cylindrical object.
I want to wrap a pole for a hiking stick.
Do I need to glue it.
Will it move around if not glued?
Correction: that’s a *former* mandrel. It’s no longer a mandrel, but a whooping stick with custom paracord grip and wrist lanyard.
Hey, fellow swiffer user 👋
You had me at Swiffer mop.
Thank you👍🏻
How can we cover all stick include cover the top and bottom sides? Thanks
Thank you for this. I
Cool tnx

I can't follow this I may be dumb or something but I just can't see to get the wrap to work
A series of half-hitches after tying it down first with overhand, clove hitch, constrictor, etc.
This wrap used to be very popular on navy ships to decorate handrails and such, especially in places like the bridge.
VERRRRY NICE!!!
Thanks!
Wow, thank you so much for the support Timothy, I really appreciate it!🙏😀
I just glued my paracord on with pitch, wrapping only lasts so long.
Worked good, however I only got about 1 spiral out of 12 feet of cord. My stick is a lot thicker than the one you used.. which probably explains it.
I also wish more videos were made for left handed people so we didn't have to figure out how to reverse everything.
Does anyone know what size paracord this is.
Why the gap at 1:30? It may be obvious to you what happens there but not to us novices.
❤❤❤

Great video! I'm making staffs for my sons and this helped. Thx
I have to turn the volume off. 😂
One was a story about his torturous night of camping. It was so dangerous and exciting that he never went back. There were bugs and critters and he had to eat marshmallows that he had to cook himself. To top it all off, he had to sleep in the ground!
The nerve of those people!
