  • New, updated tutorial on my 1-Minute Paracord Bracelet design, said to now be: "The preferred style of paracord bracelet by the U.S. Military" according the the large retailer, Paracord Planet. Woo-hoo! BONUS TIPS & TRICKS VIDEO, here: • 1-Minute Paracord Brac... My design blows away the competition in terms of speed/ease of both construction AND deployment when you need some cordage to tie/secure something, making it the most useful paracord bracelet there is!
    See the link below for the speed demo showing the clocked, one-minute build time and roughly 5-second deployment, if that's what you seek. Please share these videos freely.
    Paracord is not just a top survival tool, it is also a great EDC tool! My lightning-fast design means bracelets are no longer just to conceptually know you have a bunch of cordage in an emergency, which takes time to get to: you actually USE my design as cordage at the drop of a hat!
    This is an update to my June 21, 2012 bracelet video. It has better camera work, the view is upright so it's easier to follow along with my hand motions, and I more carefully show each step. The original has an interesting slow-mo analysis of the deployment I have left out here and a discussion of using this design as a gear carry handle.
    As I wrote in the original 2012 video:
    There must be millions of people who also make this very simple and basic design, or at least one that is awfully close, so I in no sense claim to have invented it, however I did come up with it on my own [nobody taught me] and I thought a video tutorial about how to make it and deploy it would be useful. [The Ashley stopper knot fastener method I learned about from what the woven designs seem to often use, but any stopper knot will do.]
    SPEED DEMO with the ONE MINUTE construction time clocked with my iphone's stopwatch:
    • 1-Min. Paracord Surviv...
    Don't expect one-minute results on your first try, but even so I bet it's the fastest paracord bracelet you've ever made! To me the whole point of carrying paracord is to actually USE it. This bracelet BLOWS away all others in terms of speed and ease of construction and deployment, hence I use the cordage on mine almost weekly. Most people with woven designs almost never use their cordage except in a dire emergency, mostly because they don't want to have to spend all the time necessary to remake their bracelet. That's NOT an issue with my design!
    This is easiest, especially the finger twirled deployment, using pre-used, broken-in, SUPPLE paracord. Brand new cord works too, but the stiffness doesn't let it spin as easily; it tends to bind or jam. Remake the design a few times and it makes the cordage nice and flexible, also washing the cord with warm water helps loosens it up. Air dry. Paracord doesn't like high heat, it's nylon.
    Memorize this and you will know the crux of the instructions:
    "Put a knot at the end of an 'S', and coil around the rest."
    I use my bracelet's fast deploy cord to secure my trunk when I carry a large item that wont fit without leaving it open, and to wrap around boxes or records, making them easy to carry home from shopping, mostly, but knowing I can also use the cordage in a survival situation is a bonus.

      +Scattered greenstone Axe man Thanks! I'm glad you get it. Nearly everyone wearing the complex, tedious to remake designs NEVER unravel their bracelet for cordage because they don't want to have to remake it. Mine doesn't suffer from this and I dispense it, most typically to wrap a box to carry it home more easily or to secure cargo in my trunk, ALL the time! I have a video showing such an application coming soon, by the way.

  • @pplo
    @pplo 8 років тому

    I use this kind of "packing" a lot, to carry cordelette to be used on climbing. I just use different knot at the end.
    I used to double the rope and daisy chain it. but this way is way faster to release.
    I sometimes make more S's before start roling the rest around. As I do with different lengths and diameter ropes, I didn't have any formula, but your video made me think about it, so next time I use it, I'll know how many turns and rolls to do, to achieve a desirable height of the final product.
    And, in my case, I use the loop on a carabiner that goes onto my harnes.
    nice video !

      Thanks. I have other videos about micro cord versions if you are interested. Once you break down and then re-build the bracelet a few times it becomes more supple and hopefully you'll be able to reconstruct it in about a minute: ua-cam.com/video/vf7fjd4d4EI/v-deo.html

  • @wjf213
    @wjf213 8 років тому +1

    This is by far and away the best paracord bracelet out there and it carries as much or more cordage as the others. I've made a few of these and I've been wondering, have you ever tried to wrap up small EDC survival items like maybe a single length of jute, and an 1/8" ferro rod??? I know it would slow down the deployment of the cord, but so far I've never needed 10 feet of paracord in under 5 seconds so I'm willing to give up another 20 seconds or so, if I can carry fire too. Now you REALLY have a survival bracelet to play with and practice with. You're the King of this stuff, so any ideas? Keep up the great work.

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  8 років тому +1

      +wjf213 Yes, I agree incorporating in extra items makes sense when used as a survival bracelet, however to me that's a secondary application. I love survival stuff too, don't get me wrong, but whereas I've never been caught in a disaster and had to start a fire without a lighter, I carry home boxes from the store and/or tie down my trunk almost weekly.
      I did think to replace the stopper knot with a short ferro rod and make the closure sort of like a cuff link at one point. Never got very far other than conceptualizing that.
      There are more videos about the bracelet and variations to come.

    Hi MeZillch. As always, another brilliant video, thank you. I think I may have found another benefit of your bracelet: you don't have to cut the length of paracord when initially making it so you don't run the risk of cutting it too short or too long (where you have to cut off the excess leaving an unusable portion of paracord). As long as you unwind a good length of cord initially and secure the remainder, maybe with a rubber band, you can still make the bracelet. Can be very useful when the inevitable requests from friends to make these for them when they see them...! Thought you may like to know. Once again, thank you, and please keep up the amazing videos.

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  8 років тому

      +Roddy Jones EXCELLENT point. Another thing that I think people will come to realize by experience is that the amount of cordage used is actually quite variable, depending on: A) How tightly wound the outer coils are: fatter looser ones of course have a greater circumference hence more cord. B) How much the coils are compressed against each other, although compacting them too much forms ugly bulges so there is a limit.

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  8 років тому

      +Roddy Jones I am mentioning this excellent tip, crediting you of course, in an upcoming Extra Tips and Tricks video. I just remade one to be doubly sure and indeed one could even build my design by spooling off paracord from a master, bulk spool, as you go, without having to cut it until the VERY last step, securing the end of the outer coil, so you efficiently have no wasted, unused length, nor possibly cut yourself short by underestimating how much to initially cut from the bulk supply when you start your construction.

    How long was the paracord?

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks. The cordage used to make this bracelet will vary based on your wrist size and how loose you like your bracelets. Roughly speaking, each inch of bracelet size length takes about one foot of paracord, so for example a 9 inch outer circumference bracelet takes 9 feet of raw paracord. There is some flexibility based on how tightly you pack the coils but if you pack too tightly the bracelet will get an unsightly bumpy exterior and the button hole will constrict. If you desire a high cord capacity bracelet check out my MEGA paracord bracelet: ua-cam.com/video/TwJflt-9-RM/v-deo.html

    Hi. Excellent! Many thanks. Liked and subbed! I am going to practising then teach my son...;) what is the avg total lenght of cordage suitable for hand please? MS

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  8 років тому +1

      The length needed depends on your wrist size and how loose you personally like to wear the bracelet. Generally as a ballpark figure it seems the length of the bracelet, meaning its circumference when worn around your wrist, measured in inches (2.54cm=1 inch) happens to be the number of feet of raw paracord you'll need (30.48cm=1 foot). So for example, my 8.5 inch long bracelet, measured from the button hole loop to the bottom of the fastening knot, is made with a 8.5 foot length of raw paracord. Watch the bonus tips and tricks video. It has a whole section, Tip number 7, devoted answering your question and it talks about how there is actually a great amount of variability, so if you don't happen to have the right length on hand you can still make a bracelet! Here: ua-cam.com/video/FI6A8o2sR64O/v-deo.htmlne more thing. Please don't just make my bracelet, USE my bracelet whenever you need a handy piece of cord. The fast deployment and fast reconstruction is what makes my bracelet special. Once you've remade it a few times you'll no longer need to consult my howto video, you'll have it memorized, and you'll get faster and faster at reconstructing it each time you remake it.

  • @techwg
    @techwg 4 роки тому +1

    So how much cord, total, does your particular bracelet provide? Also, is that 1 foot per inch for the calculation of the whole bracelet, or is that only for doing the coiling? I am just trying to figure out how I can fool-proof cut the right length, based on my wrist circumference and have the bracelet come out right.

    • @MeZillch

      My rule of thumb that when straightened out in a line the length of a competed bracelet in inches equals the necessary parcord master length needed in feet is just an approximation. Conveniently the entire construction can be done from spooling out cord from a master reel AS you build the bracelet so I advise only cutting as the last step. Check out the bracelet tips and tricks video listed in my notes for more, also for a high cord capacity design see: ua-cam.com/video/TwJflt-9-RM/v-deo.html

      +Aditya Goda Woo hoo! Now you always have some cordage on you for quick, simple tasks, OR emergency survival situations. The more often you dispense it to use the cord the faster and easier it will be to remake. This also makes the cord more supple which makes it easier to work with.

    I've been doing this for a couple of years now and I've never had a piece of cordage come out straight after it's sat in this coil for any significant length of time, say months. It comes out straight for a month or so but after that it will not straighten itself out no matter how you uncoil it.

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  5 років тому +1

      As you know, breakdown into cordage and reconstruction takes 1m05s. Doing this periodically helps keep the cord supple and flexible so it has less memory effect. Also construction should not be done too tightly.

    Hi, on Aug. 3, 2012 you made a video on your Maxpedition Pocket Organizer Tool Kit, where you made a zipper pull out of paracord. In that video you also showed a black Maxpedition Organizer, where you wrapped the handle with paracord. I just bought my second Maxpedition Pocket Organizer (1 is the micro and 1 is the mini organizer). Anyway, I would love to wrap the handles like you did on yours. Can you perhaps show me how to do this? I watched your new 1-MINUTE paracord bracelet video you posted on Nov 3, 2015. Would I make it the same way for the handle wrap and how would I measure the cord for the handle? Thank you for any help you can give me in this matter. Have a great day! Debbie

      +iccw 365 Unfortunately there's no specific way to do it and I couldn't figure out a way which offered fast release, should one need the paracord again and access to it instantly like on either my parafob or paracord bracelet designs. Generally, if I remember correctly, I folded the belt shaped handle into 1/2 width, maybe even thinner (1/3's?) and then just coiled the rope around it down the length, tying it in some sort of knot, perhaps a clove hitch, at the ends. Good luck.Perhaps I reinforced the pleated length of strap with lengths of paracord to fatten it and round it out more before doing the outer coil, making it more like my parafob (a modified hayanawa or "fast rope" as it is called in English)? Hmm, sorry I don't remember.Parafob around physical objects video:ua-cam.com/video/QJCBWnpfurQ/v-deo.html

    How many feet of cordage does the bracelet have

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  4 роки тому

      The cordage used to make this bracelet will vary based on your wrist size and how loose you like your bracelets. Roughly speaking, each inch of bracelet size length takes about one foot of paracord, so for example a 9 inch outer circumference bracelet takes 9 feet of raw paracord. There is some flexibility based on how tightly you pack the coils but if you pack too tightly the bracelet will get an unsightly, lumpy exterior and the button hole will self constrict.

      As the onscreen text mentions at 1:27 you'll need about one foot (30.48cm) per inch (2.54cm) of bracelet circumference.

    how much paracord do i need for this size

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  9 місяців тому

      It depends on the size of your wrist, how loose you like to wear your bracelets, and how tightly packed are the outer coils. I have a large glove size and for me I find the formula is roughly for ever inch of bracelet I need around a foot of raw paracord, so for my 8 inch bracelet I use about 8 feet of paracord. Don't try to cram on too many coils though because if you do the bracelet can become "lumpy" and covered with protruding, uneven coils. If you desire to carry a lot more cordage consider my more complex "MEGA paracord survival bracelet" design, instead: ua-cam.com/video/TwJflt-9-RM/v-deo.html

    my first coil cinched one keeps on coming loose how can i fix

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  8 років тому

      +leon banks Hmm, it's hard to verbalize or even photograph what constitutes the right tension to apply. When forming the bracelet that first coil should be tight ONLY so as to keep it from being pushed off the end as the other coils are compressed against it, but as you wear the bracelet repeatedly all the coils become more uniformly spaced and uniformly tight. Don't fear that first coil becoming loser. That's OK. There are other things to worry about however.If the coils are compressed on too tightly, because you used TOO MUCH CORDAGE for your size wrist, that first coil may actually push off the end and ruin the bracelet. Other signs of having used too much cordage are bumps along the finished product, protruding coils since they can't easily fit side by side, which rematerialize even after attempting to roll them away after having worn the bracelet, or a tendency for the button hole to constrict too tightly when the bracelet is curled around the wrist to put it on, making it a real chore to get the button knot through the hole to put it on. Remember, my mention that you'll need a foot of raw cordage for every inch of prepared bracelet refers to the bracelet's circumference when worn, from the loop hole to the BOTTOM of the stopper knot, but NOT including the stopper knot itself nor its tail, the quick release facilitator. It is also just a guideline to get you going and may be too much cordage if problems are occurring.There is an Extra Tips and Tricks video coming soon which may help, so stay tuned.If your overall concern is more that when the bracelet is being stored in a bag and jostled about the coils migrate around and that first coil falls off the end, the easy solution is to store the bracelet in closed form, in a round form as if were being worn, with the button hole being filled with the stopper knot. The coils are locked from falling off this way.

      sorta stiff the bracelet is lumpy like one side is up overlapped angled over the coil next to it it does look funny

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  8 років тому

      +leon banks My recommendation to use about a foot of paracord for the circumference of the prepared barcelet's number of inches does not include the quick release tail, just the circular bracelet part itself. It is only an estimate. If the resulting bracelet has coils which protrude outward from the others, meaning the surface is lumpy, it implies TOO much cordage was used and the coils were compressed against each other, compacted, more than is allowed for a proper design. I made the exact same mistake at first. Try cutting off 6 inch incremental lengths of cord and remake the bracelet each time until you find the length that works for you. There is an upcoming "Tips and Tricks" addition to this video coming soon which talks more about this.

    • @MeZillch
      @MeZillch  4 роки тому

      It depends on your wrist size, how loose you like your bracelets, and how tightly you coil the outer rings. As a ballpark figure consider using 1 foot of paracord for every inch of finished bracelet circumference so an 8 inch outer diameter bracelet would take about 8 feet of paracord to build.
