Good info and you kept me watching because of the humour.
Thanks!
Man I was searching for some paracord uses but I watched all the video to enjoy your intimate and friendly attitude and happy family picture. You guys are awesome !
"Thanks daddy, you're the Greatest!" This really made me laugh hahaahah
Just a note for people unfamiliar with load ratings on cord and rope. 550 is the Average or minimum breaking strength. If using anything for life support, you should weigh less than 1/10 of the average breaking strength. 550/10=55. It may work once, emphasis on may, but the cord will then be stressed and break even easier.
This is the same for heavy towing or hoisting applications. Find rope that is rated at least ten times the weight it will be holding and inspect it regularly. There is always an equal and opposite action to every action. Hoisting and tying off to an anchor point will double the weight stress on the rope.
Gents...Loved the "Thanks Daddy"
Good job

This military vet and law enforcement woman loves your videos. Yes, women love fishing and the great outdoors just as much as men. My son has been fishing and hunting at a young age because we are from Michigan.
A carry strap for 15 different items is still a single use.
not to mention the ones he repeated
I suppose the very important reason for mentioning a few carry straps is completely lost on you huh?. Regarding the repeats...I mentioned fishing line twice that was it.
DansDepot The very important reason for mentioning a few carry straps is so you can reach the magic 101 number. But as you say in the beginning: other videos mention 10 or so uses. So even if you made a video with "57 uses for paracord", it would still be impressive.
Cristi Neagu In essence what I was attempting to get across to the viewer is that you should take the relatively cheap and otherwise useless straps and cords that carry your gear and replace them with paracord. In that manner you actually have more useful cordage with you even if all you are carrying is a GPS for example. With that said, everyone that criticizes for me not having 101 uses, never takes the time to actually count the number in this video (who would, all of have better things to do). But since I continue to get criticized for it...I would like to point out that there are more than 101 in this video...:) Which means even if you remove fishing line which I did twice and the carry straps there are still more than 101. LOL...either way, I hope you found something in it useful besides an opportunity to call me out on fishing line twice and several carry straps.
DansDepot It is a useful video, of course. It's just that it would have been fairer to say: "No. 1. Straps for compass, knife, GPS..." than to say "No.1 strap for compass No.2 strap for a knife...". That's the point.
This is a good informative video. It has a tongue in cheek style. The part where he tries to suspend his pack, and end up gathering firewood, was funny but at the same time showed the need to adapt to any situation.
What was that called at 9:02? Looks reallly useful actually why here hunting or survival. Great video sir! Love the humor
Gamaken it’s called a “bola”
Thanks friend!!!
I like the cheerfulness of this video. You are non trying to look badass like many survival bros, and it makes it more enjoyable to watch. Thumbs up for your family too.
I'm very new to paracord and survival.. so this was very helpful and opened up my mind of some uses.
Brilliant video. So many ideas I hadn't thought of myself. I appreciate you making it, and your accent is awesome.
How could you forget parachuting!
LOL, so true man..that is a good one. :)
Yes, one homedepo tarp+paracord=parachute...
CanadaOSRS how did it go?
Glad you enjoyed it Ernie. Please share it with anyone and everyone :)
I get the repeats about straps. I replace all cordage with 550 paracord whenever possible so it makes sense to me. Great video.
You sir, are the smart one of the bunch. THanks for commenting.
Yes you are correct, we had a blast...and I hope you take the time to check out the channel...We try to teach, good techniques and have fun doing it...We also know how to be serious when we need to be as well :)
Hilarious and at the same time exactly what I was looking for 101 ways to use a paracord... I don't know why people are saying not to use it as a tourniquet, if it's all we have at the time it's exactly what we need. Something is better than nothing until you get medical treatment. Either way thank you and your family for this video.
You said zipper pull twice and tied down a log and jacket to the top of the same bag but I like the presentation. You may do another and add paracord protective sleeve for headphones (remove the guts and replace with head phone wire), replacement watch band, and it can be woven into a hammock. I have also used it as a bow string for archery (re-curve with 80lbs pull) and a bow string with spindle for fire starting.
J Shobe Nice additions, thanks for sharing. - Craig
# 102..if you find yourself unexpectedly kidnapped and bound by zip ties/flex cuffs you can take the paracord you're using as shoes strings and it will saw through the zip tie material like a knife. Great video, I learned some new uses for 550 cord.. new subscriber :-)
Thanks! Just got my free Utility band from Scoal and now know its needs.
Awesome vid Craig. Here's another useful one I've done- use the inner strands to weave a fishing net.
You put a lot of effort into this so thumbs up for that.
Loved it ! ❤️🙌🏻 i could not for the life of me think of what to use it for I know duh me ! Thanks !
Build a raft to escape the zombies and sail, sail away, oh yah, to secure the sail to the raft. To make a hammock. Make a fish net from the inner strands. Build snow shoes. Make a basketball net. Webbing to catch a ball, play djubi or build a kendama. A net for tennis, badminton. Build a snow sled, a suspension bridge. Transport gear across a stream or a ravine. Use strands for a fishing bow. Make webbing for boots to go over ice/traction webbing. Wrap a bicycle tire for traction in snow.
Awesome sense of humor. Love how you say really funny stuff with a straight face. 😀😀

Tying logs to your pack really is the best use for 550
Very funny but with a serious message. Thank you guys.
Even though some were repeated its still a hell of lot of uses.
Thanks!
Funny.....we don't get many Bears here in the UK but it was still funny and useful. Thanks Dan.
I do not know what Dan uses but the bracelet I have on here in this video is black and tan. Thanks for asking - Craig
you can tie some around the triger guard and the other end to your belt so if the pistol falls out you wont lose it! thats my idea great video you earned my subscription! you should do 101 uses for a shemag scarf!
I noticed that. I also said to use it as a tow rope for heavy equipment and then I had my son ride by pulling a toy truck. I was not serious when I said that. Paracord really cannot be used to haul heavy equipment.
A couple of repeats (fishing) but still a fantastic and entertaining video. I do not think you mentioned making a net.
nice work made me laugh aswell, especially when you broke the branch and said you can use paracord to pull down firewood ,clever , thanks
Marc L-C We had a lot of fun making this video! If you liked it check out ua-cam.com/video/PJTyJ13uNg0/v-deo.html, It has the same silliness..... Thanks for watching ~Craig
You have such a wonderful family !!
in cadets we discussed using 550 cordage as a tourney kit and the medics advised not to as its too thin and would cause more complication but hey great video, amusing and educational... thumbs up
Danny Bond tourniquet*
jwin_the_pro thanks
No problem!
I've just recently picked up paracord as part of something I keep on me all the time (through a bracelet... or three.) and I've been trying to convince some of my family why it's useful for far more than just things that could happen in the wilderness. Awesome stuff and I might have to show them this. O:
at 13:05 I like their baja hoodies! You also forgot you can make a sling (weapon) out of paracord. Anyways, nice video!
GREAT VID - - glad to see a hard workin' (& playin') family. Some great ideas here, thanks for sharing!
One could also tie your Wifey down to the bed, uh-er, I mean if you'ze two are into that kinda' thing. L.o.L.! ;-p~~~
Thanks a lot for making this video, it's informative and was fun to watch.
Hey some of these uses are really goofy :P I enjoyed the video. I could name even more uses for it. One cool one that you missed in the video is securing a survival knife to a stick transforming the knife into a spear. Very good skipped use for paracord.
Great video, very well done!
i get my paracord at corkies a army surplus store it's so cool there
tie up computer cables behind your desk to keep them neat...guess I better get me some paracord to do that lol
102: Make a bola out of it. A bola was a primitive tool used for tangling up things that you can hunt, like a deer.
Kylan McPherson if you can take out a deer with a set of bola, I applaud you
Kylan McPherson bola was primarily for small game like mice and birds. Good luck taking out a deer with one.
lol you have a great sense of humor.Thanks for teaching me the true purpose of paracord.SUBBED! :D
Garrote. Nice :)
Never thought of shoestring, or building a pack out of natural materials, or firestarting though, or floss for that matter. Good stuff.
All those mentions of slings, I'm disappointed you never once mentioned a hunting sling/rock sling and staff sling.
I haven’t watched the video, but if they even shows you 15 ways to use the para cord, the video deserves a like
102 :parachute (paracords most overlooked used paracord stands for parachute cord)
Says the same thing multiple times lmao. Good video man loved it
forgot to tie up your burger to the plate so no one can steal it! ... or a raft or tee pee or snow shoes or sandals if you loose your shoes, etc.. fun video!
+Frank C Great ideas! Thanks for watching here at Dan's Depot! Check out my personal channel as well ua-cam.com/users/naturereliance. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
Thanks! Great effort. 👏
A very clever and funny video! Congrats!
Tony Romei Thanks for watching! ~Craig
Very creative and fun video thanks for that, Dan
BTW seeing how you ended up in January ...how about some make shift snow shoes ? :D
Subscribed! Thank you for the videos and advise.
Many good ideas in this fun video! Thank you!
+Rangersly Thanks for watching Rangersly! ~Craig
+DansDepot The cup phone would not work. Paracord is too thick.
+TkoSlayer Yes well......I'm aware of that. It was intended to be a joke. Thanks for watching.
great video and you shared the fun of making it ^^
Nice Video! Very informative. You're Videos Are Awesome. Keep Up The Good Work.
Enjoyed the video. Well done.
+d307p Thanks! - Craig
OMG you had me in stichers couldn't stop laughing, thank you.. Iv always wondered if there useful now thanks to you I will be buying some..
Thanks!
Great Video, made me laugh a lot, keep up the good work!
As im watching this and holding some chord I see it is a fantastic cat toy
I loved everyone of them
Did you say backpack chest strap? Great video.
'' a sling device for crappy survival kits that people want my stamp of approval on ! (fling) '' lol thats epic!!
Thanks...glad you liked it :) - Craig
can you tie it to a grappling hook and climb with it?
Desperate, as in justifying 101 uses, but also as in desperately funny.
A job well done! Lol.
basically you can use it to do anything rope can do plus more its just more bad assery
Some off this was a bit goofy but I get the point. Was fun to watch
think you for the video
"carry X" "X holder" "tie X" pretty much sums up most of these
+Icarus Well friend, that's what string does. :) Thanks for watching. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
ok the big food line made me laugh lol
I can buy Paracord off of e-bay for less then $20.00 for 100' - Is that going to be fake paracord?
Is there a way to tell from looking at it to know if its fake?
I would hate to waste my time and money (and possibly life) on something fake.
Thanks for the video and the time it took to make it!
Chris
Most of this can be shortened to: to hang stuff and to tie stuff together.
nice video !!! funny but with a lot of good ideas !
MultiSpiros123 Thanks! ~Craig
I wonder, would it be possible to coat those inner fibers in hot wax and create makeshift candles with them?
This great info but funny as hell too.... Survival telephone " hey man, Im lost....", "Where are ya?" LMAO
the art of weapons used paracord as crossbow string
Cool! Have you done this with success? I would enjoy seeing it done. I have never done that.
Use it to make a monkey fist & also a grip for your knife/ machete handle
what use is a Hooked Bight Rock Wrap?
That was a great video. Don't know if my wife will like all the uses around the house. Better do it while she's sleeping.
Thanks for commenting...happy wife, happy life!!!
awesome video!
I would not recommend using any thin cord like Paracord as a Tourniquet. Could just get you into more trouble... Cool video anyway :)
Yngve TK Thanks for watching! ~Craig
I wonder if you can make fiddle strings out of paracord?
Hmmm, not sure, I don't know much about fiddlin'
How bout on 102 uses for paracord. you can use it to make a net using the inner strands and and out strand.
Fun stuff! Great Fam.
You are awesome, and you should feel awesome!
Useull info plus I enjoyed a lot of the amusing content :)
+nunnsie23 Thanks for letting us know! ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
you earned my like at survival telephone lol
just a note on this video you never want to use a single line or multiple lines of paracord as a turniquet. all that will do is cause more trauma to the affected area. you are better off using a shirt or a belt. so again never ever use paracord for a turniquet
love the hat idea thankas i will use it
+erin green Thanks for watching here at Dan's Depot! Please check out my personal channel as well ua-cam.com/users/naturereliance. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
What an awesome video, i own loads of the stuff but never know what to do with it ahaha! Subbed :)
+the halo guy 117 Thanks for letting us know! Check out my personal channel as well, ua-cam.com/users/naturereliance. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
I got 800 ft of 550 paracord for $10 at the thrift store its the real deal its got that 7 strands inside and says military approved
funny vid..... you'd make a good stunt double for junior sample!
Funny video you missed out a guitar strap
Looks like a two strand King Cobra stitch.
this is a really cool vid.
Looooooool “THANKS DADDY YOU’RE THE GREATEST”
