Paracord Outdoor Gear Projects

by Joel Hooks

Making things from cord is a good rainy-day activity at home, the cottage or the campsite. This project book provides an excellent overview, beginning with the fundamental tools and techniques for making useful gear from widely available paracord (parachute cord).

The 12 projects include a braided survival bracelet, a hiking stick grip, a wrist lanyard, a neck lanyard, a break-away lanyard, a water bottle holder, a wrist strap, bedroll straps, a utility strap, a belt, a monkey's fist key chain and a flashlight wrap, each with simple step-by-step instructions and color photos.

It also includes instructions on tying 18 decorative and practical knots used in the projects as well as other applications.
