At 3:55 your rope starts to tangle. If you wrap with a figure 8, it takes the twist out and your rope will deploy cleanly from start to end without tangles and twists.
@@marchofnature636 Yes it does, it’s very clear at 3:59 that twists have been built into the stored line. Plenty of bushcraft channels use the figure 8 method to avoid this. Corporals’s Corner is a good example.
This. Watched this thinking he knew something I didn't. Then when I saw him melting his paracord I realised he's a brainlet, so I wasn't surprised at his abject failure.
I wanted to thank you for showing this very simple way of storing cordage. I finally got around to viewing the video and glad I did. I will subscribe and look forward to more videos.
Haha. 3:42 when his fused bite comes unfused. Lol. Confidence inspiring. How about a bowline or some other reliable method of creating a loop ? I can see your paracord bundle dropping off your new MOLLE pack never to be seen again.
I have absolutely no need for that, but hey, I enjoyed the ingenuity and you never know when an emergency panic button prussic knot cord might be needed.
I thought about the fusing of the rope and I honestly think it is a good idea because it is not used for maintaining a strong Loop it is made for being quickly breakable and detachable. a way to access it with one hand without having to mess with other loops that would be good strong attachments to the Carabiner
Something like how this guy stores his "Ridgeline System"? ua-cam.com/video/Sipxc4jFI9s/v-deo.html , (without the small ropes that he uses to attach his tarp) He starts with a bowline at the end, wrapp it up in a figure eight (to avoid tangles), and then end it all with a clove hitch?
Don't fuse it, tie a loop on the end with any static knot instead. Knots will hold you weight, fusing only the shell of the paracord will get you killed.
Yeah. If you look up something like "Paracord fast rope" You will see a lot of people doing this same exact thing. Except they all do figure 8 patterns. I even made a two foot jig with one inch spaced holes for making fast rope out of whatever length or type of cord/thin rope I carry.
Interesting method, but as easily as that bight opened up, I would be afraid the bundle would snag while I was hiking, the loop open up, come off the carabiner and fall to the ground without me even knowing it.
The thoughts there but realistically its just bollocks! Catch the cord on a branch and you've just lost your cord! Fusing the cord has just jeopardised the strength and integrity of your cord. Do you really need 25 feet of cord on a quick deploy on a carabiner?
Nope... don't like it. I usually hang my paracord on my tactical backpack. It will catch branches too easily during bushwhacking and that knot will unravel in no time...
This is a terrible way to teach a great method. Don't fuse your line use a knot, don't use the pull line as your hook it can get snagged and release prematurely, and use a figure 8 to avoid tangles. just Ugh with people teaching skills that don't have skills.
@@sulben1718 I think they think the figure 8 wrap is better... so it doesn't tangle up. That's how I learned how to store paracord... it works really well.
Your wisdom with knots is great helped me gain better wisdom
Splice. Fusing the paracord to itself creates a splice. Great key ring project!!.

No it doesn't, it may look like it does, but it doesn't.

@@victorf5404 I've done this several times, and yeah sometimes it twists, but it is so minimal you don't notice it.

Cool, Can't argue with what I saw :)
But I wrap it in a figure 8 on my hand to prevent tangling and then wrap it up the same way.
Great video, I love the knot of the week videos

I didn't even get that far, as soon as he said to melt it I was just confused why the knot of the week starts off without any knotting. Weird.
this solved all my issues with tangled paracords. i resorted to using a medic molle bag and stacking the ripes into it. this helped a lot. simple! :D
I do it a little different. I put a bowline in the start and finish it off with a clove hitch.
Great to see you posting again !!!!!
Thank you..
Cool i learned something new. My old way of rolling up rope was just wrapping it around my arm but it was messy.
Great tutorial on how stow your paracord! Thanks
Very good...
super handy way to help organize kit. thanks
If I could go back to 2009 I’d buy stock in a 550 paracord factory. Everybody and their mother has a thousand feet of this stuff in their pocket now.
NICE WATCH!!! IM WEARING THE SAME ONE!!!
Good job! Thanks for sharing.
this is similar to whipping the end of a line as a sailor would. look this up you don't have to melt anything.
I have absolutely no need for that, but hey, I enjoyed the ingenuity and you never know when an emergency panic button prussic knot cord might be needed.
I'm surprised by this.. No need to fuse the rope, and as someone else mentioned, use a figure 8 to help prevent tangling.
A simple bowline knot can be used instead of fusing the rope, but its a nice touch to have the loop for clip.

@@JohanSimonsson Yep .. that's how I do mine .. works well.
@@chivaking The tension from the wraps would hold it secure enough, I don't see the point in fusing it.
Would you have to worry about it fallin off or is it pretty intact?? I like this but dont wanna keep losing my paracord...
Don't fuse it, tie a loop on the end with any static knot instead. Knots will hold you weight, fusing only the shell of the paracord will get you killed.
Отлично! Полезный совет.
Wouldn't this just untangle if you get the rope catched in a branch for example?
Nice!
thank you
Would like to see some ways to do climbing webbing.
Is this a good knot to put on a Swiss Army knife?
Soooo. It's basically fast rope but it's lacking the figure 8 pattern to help prevent tangling.
Yeah. If you look up something like "Paracord fast rope" You will see a lot of people doing this same exact thing. Except they all do figure 8 patterns. I even made a two foot jig with one inch spaced holes for making fast rope out of whatever length or type of cord/thin rope I carry.
***** its a godsend when trying to work with long lengths of rope.
You can do this with a figure 8. I do it the same way Ray Mears does it, by figure eighting the cord between my thumb and pinkie finger.
The figure eight helps twist the rope in opposing directions, what you’re doing inherits a continuing twist that will certainly bind up.
@@jeffreycklassen i want to do figure 8 but how would you do it if the rope is too long and wont fit it in your hands? imagine 10 times longers
Super helpfull thx.
Interesting method, but as easily as that bight opened up, I would be afraid the bundle would snag while I was hiking, the loop open up, come off the carabiner and fall to the ground without me even knowing it.
keitharoo
thanks!!!100
NOT necessary to burn the ends to do this, just tuck it like the rest of it
I don't get why would you fuse the rope it served absolute no purpose?
What about for 100ft?
What name is this carabiner;
Awesome video! I also have a video on this aswell!
The thoughts there but realistically its just bollocks!
Catch the cord on a branch and you've just lost your cord! Fusing the cord has just jeopardised the strength and integrity of your cord. Do you really need 25 feet of cord on a quick deploy on a carabiner?
you should do babe of the week next.
No knot this week!
Nope... don't like it. I usually hang my paracord on my tactical backpack. It will catch branches too easily during bushwhacking and that knot will unravel in no time...
Just store it inside your pack with your tactical toothbrush.
Naah .. you'll end up with a 'bunch of buggers' when you pull it out.
Figure of Eight coiling .. Basics ..
I don’t like the fussing.
Look a the bug tooth

Really didn't enjoy the video
Another video from a guy who talks the talk but doesn't know the ins and outs of what he's talking about. Learn your craft before you lecture others.
What did he do wrong?
