In Ranger School my pace cord was a simple bootlace tied to my jungle fatigue top button hole about 14 inches. I would tie an overhand knot for every kilometer if I was the pace man. Would have used this if I had it. It was 1973.
Instead of a double snake knot, I used a diamond knot between sections and the end because it's more symmetrical but for the beads I used the same knot you described. That's a nice torch you're using. I finally got tired of burning my thumb with a regular Bic lighter and got the grilling lighter instead that has a pistol grip and no more burned thumb. I use regular scissors to cut the ends and leave a scissor blade thickness left to melt which turns out to be the right amount, most of the time I can get a nice dome effect when I melt the ends. Found out real quick that you don't have to get too close to melt the ends, about an inch or two away is just right without damaging anything else. After I'm done, I'll quickly put direct flame over the entire project for about a second or two just to set everything in place. It doesn't damage anything, just melts the micro threads from any abrasions while working the paracord.
These beads look sick on my red&cream nunchucks' string. Definitely tricky to cinch up at first, but don't give up and you'll be armed with a neat decorative knot.
The, average human pace is 5.28 feet. I'm left handed so I would probably count every left foot step out to ten then move a white bead once you get to your tenth movement you use your orange bead and congratulations you just walked a mile, Well, Your personal mile. Your pace will differ, but if you measure out your stride you can know how many feet plus or minus you walked over or below a standard mile
Find a measured 100 meter, or measured 1 mile spot. A school race track works well. Then using your normal gait, count the number of paces it takes to walk 100m or 1mi. Do it several times and use the average. That's your number of paces/100m, or paces/1mi. ... You'll need to adjust the numbers for walking in brush, sand, water, steep hills, etc.
I've already made mine months ago! Only I ADDED two more beads! To both where they were 4, on mine there's 5, and where there's 9, mine has 10! Plus I made an EXTRA 5 beads, incase I needed more counters, when walking a very long trail! Only I used, when first making it?! The "Diamond knot!"
Put as many on the top as you want. That's for every 1k you might go. That's for extra distance. The 9 is a specific necessary amount though. The whole point is to go through 9, then on your next you're out of beads, so you know you're at the next 1k mark and reset the 9 and move another of the 1k beads instead. Putting 10 there means you end up counting every 1100m instead of every 1000m and you're just gonna be wrong on your count.
Investing in *cryptocurrency* now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.......BE WISE..
@@stateangel2300 Yeah, My first investment with Mr Christian Thomas Clinton earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering it.

I created one of these for a friend to use as a stroke counter in golf. Cool design. Thanks.
Thanks! I will be making a few for my Dad's boat to keep count of are fish. Very cool knot.
@@funkymedina2974 really? Word Nazi. Like you have relevance, lol!
Saw this yesterday. Made one today while avoiding the freezing cold. Thanks for the video.
I literally made almost this exact thing two weeks ago after watching your video on the Celtic ranger knot bracelet lol
Best ranger bead method and demo. I finally got it right after your guidance. Thanks.
I've got paracord sitting around and waiting for a project, so I'll use it for this.
This is really cool thanks 😊 Reminds me of a tutorial I did on my channel on beading a Rosary 📿

Muy bueno el vídeo, bien explicado los pasos 🎉
i was working on a different project and decided to wstch this, not mad
Thank you!
You're welcome!
i waited for this

Could be modified into a simple rosary as well.
I like it!
Basically, that’s super cool

2mm cord as beads you could make a rosary. 😲🖒🖒
That is awesome
107cm Do you mean all beads right?
Anyone recommend how long to cut the paracord for each bead?
Ranger beads are used to remember how many times Jody has hit a POW
How do you know if you traveled 100 meters or miles?

100 miles hurts a lot more than 100 metres no? :D

You need 5 beads on each side
Neat. Yow
🔥💕👍
Rangers don't call them ranger beads. We call it a pace counter
I get a feeling they don't actually use this...
These are fantastic for land navigation when not relying on GPS.
He sayed rinse and repeat..lol

I wanted to trade in Crypto but got discouraged by fluctuations in prices.?
@@stateangel2300 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Christian Thomas Clinton
@@PoliticsByTabith I heard that his strategies are really good?

Can you make one in freedom units for the Americans? Lol
They're called PREPPER ROSARIES, and we do NOT appreciate your casual disregard.
