DIY: Things you can do with Paracord

I'm a cheapo and I cannot see myself spending the kind of money some manufacturer are charging for straps. Therefore when I saw the threads regarding the use of paracords. It inspired to to research it and make my own.

I don't like neck strap so I made this wrist strap:

Therapy, you need the intervention of intesive therapy.

I still have 400 feet left

Can you point us at the knots you used?

Obviously the wrist strap is two cords. I don't recognize the knot.

I'm not sure I see the purposes of the monopod and Kata cords (other than being able to carry tons of paracord around). Nor, again, do I recognize the knots.

Curiosity is driving me nuts!

Actually three cords. The (1) brown accent colour, (2) lanyard knot for the centre, and (3) survival bracelet. I did it this way so that I did not have to use a nylon quick-snap buckle.
[EDIT]This is where I got the idea of no buckles. I has a great tutorial. I just added my own flavour.

Most of the time, there's no need for it while hiking. But where can you carry that much length of cord and not being in a way? It's called Storage Sinnet. I got the idea from this member

Most instructions/ideas came from Stormdrane's blog.

Here's my first try. It's actually backwards.

You are definitely not a cheapo. You are just being your creative self. I love mods and DIYs. Thanks for sharing!

thanks for your kind words.

I don't have a photo. But I will post one later with the mod I did for the Kata bag. I used the sling to fashion a Luma style strap.

Very cool.
