Thanks! This is definitely the cleanest, best-looking quick-release style I have seen. I don't wear bracelets, but have made strips of this weave with 15 feet of 550 that I attached with small carabiner to my backpack and kayak life jacket. Best style yet for cord storage! Great gift for hunting and fishing buddies.
The biggest challenge with many paracord weaves is remembering where you've got to... Left-Forward-Back-Right-No Left-Wait-damn! Your tip to just "send the loose end back the way it came" (paraphrasing slightly) is awesome - the weave remembers where you're at for you. 🙂
Thanks for the idea. I'm going to try this with a king cobra style braid and with a madmax style buckle. More cord on a quick release is what I'm looking for.
Wah, this is super cool! I got my first paracord today because I figured it would be practical for hikes as a 'just in case' but I might fall short with my 6.5 ft! Think that's worth taking along while hiking or should I get a proper 15 ft?
Has anyone ever actually utilized one of these before though? Have to be a hell of an emergency to make me want to undo all the work that goes into making it. You'd be better off just sticking a few feet of wrapped paracord in your back pocket.
As a scout leader, I have tied hundreds of these, an taught hundreds how to tie them. The 60 square knots or 120 half hitches are not that much to redo. I do have the extra cord hanks with me, most of the time. Tarps and towels and tape nearby too. These are for very specialized situations and for keeping a prepared mentality. Mostly for others that are not being prepared.
The bottom of the thing is hanging free, right? It seems to me that it would be quicker to just take a bight from each side, give it a half-twist, slip it over the bottom, and tighten. The same end result and no ends to run through. I prefer to work with bights whenever possible, but that's me.
I know this an old thread but If you had to repell or belay down a steep bank you could use the shackle as a carabeener to repell. Munter hitch etc. It'd have to be a real life or death situation though to trust a paracord to this. I used a small nylon rope once to get down a steep bank once.

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. First shackle bracelet made today, many new Paracord crafts await.
This is useful stuff they should teach in the military

Wow looks super handy!
Thanks a ton
Great instruction.
Definitely going to do this rather than normal cobra's thanks!

I love it. I tried making other quick releases and damn near choked myself because it was so confusing. 🙄. This was simple and perfect! 👍 thank you.
the racelet looks nice and has a lot of cord.
Use some Titan SurvivorChord, a emergency whistle clasp, and slap a compass on that bad boy and you've got a fantastic survival bracelet.
Increíble diseño. lo conozco como milliped es uno de mis favoritos gracias por enseñar.
Seemed easier to do than the Blaze bar.
Very nice!
That's easy Thnx
What size shackle did you use in this video? I didn't hear you say it and it wasn't in the description.
Dose it work with regular bracelet clips like the first bracelet you showed?

Yep, that should also work!
Should have tuck the end strain for a better quick release...
yeah that how make them :xdddddd
What is the black mat on the table? Cool video
It's a self-healing cutting mat-often used for sewing and scrapbooking.
Commonly called rotary mats because you use a rotary cutter on them (A tool with a round blade that rolls, providing a continuous cut.)
Can you make this quick release bracelet as a King Cobra style?
Would there be a name for this type of bracelet
How much should I use if the wrist size is 7.5”?
A good rule of thumb is to use 1 foot of cord per inch of weave/wrist. Around 7.5 - 8 ft would be suggested!
Experiential observation: 750 cord makes this weave look chunkier than in the video.
What about giving metric measurements as well, there are people watchg outside he USA too
Maybe this is a dumb question, but...how, exactly, are shackle clasps useful in a survival situation?
