Additional Notes: You don't have to make the micro cord section as long as I did, it's actually better a little shorter. You can adjust the lengths as you see fit of course. Also, for added security, you can add a drop of super glue where the double snake knot meets the 550 paracord. Happy Weaving!
for some reason micro cord is hard to find where I am. do you think cotton baker's twine would also work? or is it too weak? otherwise I was thinking mason's line?
DUDE I watched you years and years back when I first got into paracord. I've fallen out of the hobby recently (school and work) and was curious what happened to you Very happy to see you still posting. Keep paracording buddy!
Man, I am totally confused with so many knots! But they sure look so nice. I will do them for my gizmos , I just have to watch it in slow mo. 😉 Thanks so much! 🤩
Excellent video! I use these lanyards on quite a lot of tech and tools. I wasn't concerned about them breaking as I had what I thought was an infinite supply of various sizes that I bought at an auction years ago but am almost out of now. I looked at replacements and just couldn't justify the cost. This is an excellent alternative that puts to use some of the accumulating pile of scrap that I have aquired over the years. I never thought of using micro or nano cord in conjunction with 550 to make replacement lanyards of this type. Thanks for sharing this very useful video.
I like it. I attached the micro cord to the cords inside some 550 then pulled the micro thru. Tie knot in micro and pull knot inside 550 to hide. This will make a loop with micro longer than the 550. (reading this sounds horrible, but very basic design.) Then tie decorative knot or burn the 550 to clean it up.
Another awesome use for paracord and clear tutorial for us knot disciples 🙌🏼🙌🏼 definitely will try this and will report back! Cheers and keep up the great work 👌🏼
I love those cheap little lanyards. Almost never use them for the product they’re included with because they’re not typically well made and seemingly just tossed in as an afterthought or a “free gift.” So, I don’t trust them for anything hefty and/or valuable. But, they’re great for tiny little doodads that tend to disappear easily. I bought a pack of neon ones to put on small flashlights/knives/thumb drives so they stick out a bit better amongst everything. It’s a lot easier to find the black flashlight in a deep black-lined pocket inside a bag full of other dark/black gadgets when you know it has a neon green streamer attached to it. Now I have to make custom-colored lanyards for all the things…
Nice idea, but very hard to follow because several times you re-oriented the piece. Especially the last snake knots. Hard to follow where the orange loop end vs. the tail cords (2 loose orange cords).
Thanks for this, I've never liked carry strap they throw in with the device but is there anything smaller than micro cord? I have some pocket flashlights that have holes to attach the strap that are slightly larger than sewing thread, I could use the 550 inner strands but would rather have something with color. Do you have any recommendations?
Look for Atwood rope MFG nano cord! I think that may cover your needs! Greetings. Ive been using atwood rope nano and micro cords and until now Ive had great results! Greetings
Ok so instead of tying a 'stopper' type knot in the microcord which could potentially pull through your snake knots... When you poke the microcord through the snake knots (untied), tie the ends off by wrapping around the two strands of paracord with something like a double fishermans knot, clove hitch or constrictor knot and singe the end, that way it can never pull through and you get a nice bit of detail above your snake knots.
I tried and I pulled quite hard, to the point where the micro cord was hurting my finger and it didn't pull through. Most importantly it passed the drop test, where I was holding the item and let it drop and the force of it snapping down on the lanyard did not cause the micro cord to pull through.
Hi Tim I’ve been following your work for a while now and looking in to being a part of your discord group as live in uk I am unfamiliar with dollars can you let me know how it works as I will have to pay in uk currency

Hey Ben! Thanks for coming back to the channel! Your support back then and now is greatly appreciated!
I love coming back to these after so many years
Much better! A good replacement for those cheesy factory lanyards. Well done as always. Bravo.
Yes. Here is hand made.

Very neat, like that double snake knot.

Thanks Ron, your support is greatly appreciated bro! 🙏
Done it! I really enjoyed it. thanks!

Very well explained and showed.
Perfect narrator.

@@pedropabloj Thanks, found some on amazon.
I showed my husband this video and he made me a phone strap in about ten mins. Thanks for the video.

I find the sharpie can rub off, but if I re-heat with the lighter it bonds into the plastic and becomes truly permanent
That's a great tip, thanks for sharing that!
Nice video, but couldn't the microcord be pulled through with enough force?
