DO NOT USE 550 CORD AS A TOURNIQUET. CLS class we are taught that it is not wide enough, and will cut the skin before being able to distribute enough pressure to cut off blood flow. you will make a new injury. if you put cardboard or a magazine of something under it that can spread out the pressure 1-2", then you can use the 550 to apply the pressure, but NOT BY ITSELF.
Completely agree with you
Cole Knowles what about multiple cords?
i always teach to roll up some jeans or a t shirt under it. it makes it easier with all types of cord
Junkies have been using shoelaces for years. It may not be comfortable and you may get a bruise but I doubt much else would happen.
What if you use a 1 inch “bracelet?
I don't care about redundant uses. I don't care about mislabeling of vehicles. What impresses me about this video is how functional this family is. Teenagers (I'm assuming) that WANT to be involved in a video with THEIR DAD? Unheard of. Keep up the good work--meanwhile I'm surrounding my whole house with zombie paracord tripwire.
Thanks for the encouragement my friend. My son who you see in several shots of this video goes to all of our classes with me. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with him and am blessed that he enjoys spending time with me as well.
POWER TO DADS! =D great vid, had fun watching it :)
Seriously this comment and that this guys family will help out. Yeah... So many of the people I know my age have nothing to do with their families until they need some....
Seems to be more and more rare these days
Awesome family
attach to a magnet to retrieve keys from a drain :)
Nice one!
Magnet fishing
Pistol lanyard
Rifle sling
Fire starter
Tornequet
Hand cuffs
Prusik knot for ascending a tree or cliff
Alot of things.
Like , glue it
I am a former combat medic and CLS Instructor. Using 550 cord with something underneath to spread the pressure out is too unstable and would likely fail. A shirt, crevats, or any cloth and something that you can use to twist and tighten would be a proper improvised tourniquet.
"You can use the inner strands for fishing. Or you can use the innder strands for fishing. You can even use the inner strands for fishing."
But can you use the inner strands for fishing
@@twinarcher8123 so you can use the inner strands for fishing
Then you can use the inner strands for fishing
I heard you liked using the inner strands for fishing..
I can tell you`ve got great kids Dan, you`re blessed!
+Brian Patronie Thanks for watching Brian! I am blessed that my family loves the outdoors :). Also, I'm Craig, the guy in most of the Dan's Depot videos.

I am a mom just sitting at home having fun making paracord bracelets and cruising through youtube. I especially like seeing the dynamics and humor with you and your kids and family. You seem like a wonderful parent and a great family! I wish that every kid could grow up with an awesome dad and mom like your family. Congrats!
Amazing video! I appreciate your dedication and explanation about the paracord. And what I liked the best is your happy and functional family! Also your sense of humor is great. Good luck to you guys!
Gents...Loved the "Thanks Daddy"
Good job
Tim
"Thanks daddy, you're the Greatest!" This really made me laugh hahaahah
Man I was searching for some paracord uses but I watched all the video to enjoy your intimate and friendly attitude and happy family picture. You guys are awesome !
Good info and you kept me watching because of the humour.
Thanks!
"Or you could pull firewood down from the tree." Lol
I love the vibe of this video haha. informational yet upbeat
Thanks for watching here at Omega Gear! Please check out my personal channel as well ruclips.net/user/naturereliance. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
thank you I REALLY HAVE heard people say oh there are so many uses for it but only tell me about 3 or 4 . And you Sir out performed them all.
thanks again.
I have to admit I didn't think this video was gonna be to amazing,but you my friend have done a great job of following the way of a ninjitsu warrior,so great job and namaste my friend
Awesome! I use several of these in my survival kits and bugout bags.
A carry strap for 15 different items is still a single use.
not to mention the ones he repeated
I suppose the very important reason for mentioning a few carry straps is completely lost on you huh?. Regarding the repeats...I mentioned fishing line twice that was it.
DansDepot The very important reason for mentioning a few carry straps is so you can reach the magic 101 number. But as you say in the beginning: other videos mention 10 or so uses. So even if you made a video with "57 uses for paracord", it would still be impressive.
Cristi Neagu In essence what I was attempting to get across to the viewer is that you should take the relatively cheap and otherwise useless straps and cords that carry your gear and replace them with paracord. In that manner you actually have more useful cordage with you even if all you are carrying is a GPS for example. With that said, everyone that criticizes for me not having 101 uses, never takes the time to actually count the number in this video (who would, all of have better things to do). But since I continue to get criticized for it...I would like to point out that there are more than 101 in this video...:) Which means even if you remove fishing line which I did twice and the carry straps there are still more than 101. LOL...either way, I hope you found something in it useful besides an opportunity to call me out on fishing line twice and several carry straps.
DansDepot It is a useful video, of course. It's just that it would have been fairer to say: "No. 1. Straps for compass, knife, GPS..." than to say "No.1 strap for compass No.2 strap for a knife...". That's the point.
I like the cheerfulness of this video. You are non trying to look badass like many survival bros, and it makes it more enjoyable to watch. Thumbs up for your family too.
Seriously, very entertaining. I subscribed and look forward to watching past and future videos! Awesome job!
Thanks Dave....I had fun doing this one....that part in particular was pretty funny and serious at the same time.
Thanks for watching....we hope you subscribe...
Craig
101 things you can attach to a string
Great job ! It gave me a few ideas that I hadn't thought of. Thanks again for your time and sharing your knowledge.
The Jump Rope angle is quite creative. I don't believe anyone has thought of that one yet. LOL Good Job!
That face at 3:48 made me subscribe.
Lool same
I'm very new to paracord and survival.. so this was very helpful and opened up my mind of some uses.
i haven't had a chance to check out your channel yet but it looks like you had a lot of fun with your family making this video!! great work!!
Absolutely wonderful and packed with great ideas. Thanks for sharing. I will share it with my teenage son. Very helpful and I thought your kids did a good job too!
this video was funny and helpful thank you!
Thanks for watching here at Omega Gear! Please check out my personal channel as well ruclips.net/user/naturereliance. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
Funny and informative. I learned laughing. Bravo.
I agree.. It's wasn't really 101 uses of a paracord bracelet, but it was a well designed video with a good sense of humor & some of the ideas were things I hadn't thought of. Some of the ideas were for more cord than what comes in a "survival bracelet", but like you said, it's a good idea to buy a hundred feet or so & include it in your backpack. Thanks for the fun video. Ya'll have a good sense of humor.
I love that you have a good relationship with your kids. Keep it that way and I hope your kids can value your lo e for them..... I'm just homesick of that time in my life
Thanks! I do love my family, and enjoy spending time with them...I bet your are a wonderful mom yourself...gotta be if you are making paracord bracelets...:) - Craig
What was that called at 9:02? Looks reallly useful actually why here hunting or survival. Great video sir! Love the humor
Gamaken it’s called a “bola”
Thanks friend!!!
I haven’t watched the video, but if they even shows you 15 ways to use the para cord, the video deserves a like
This is a good informative video. It has a tongue in cheek style. The part where he tries to suspend his pack, and end up gathering firewood, was funny but at the same time showed the need to adapt to any situation.
How could you forget parachuting!
LOL, so true man..that is a good one. :)
Yes, one homedepo tarp+paracord=parachute...
CanadaOSRS how did it go?
If there were more people out there taking care of their family and trying to help others with something as simple as paracord this world would be heading in a whole different direction. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! - Craig
Very good point Jason...thank you for bringing it up...
To be fair strapping is an extremely valuable use of paracord, so it makes sense to repeat just to show that you can basically replace any carrying device with paracord :)
Any reasonable carrying device.. like a sling or strap, not a crane or whatever...
Ricky Lewis
Do the math buddy 1 strand= 550ib (Paracord is called 550 for a reason). Now weave several strands (upto weight of the vehicle so it can take the strain), you've got yourself an emergency tow rope for a vehicle in a bog. Bonus is it's rot proof, so you can leave it in the back of your ute ... or pick-up truck as you guys like to call a utility vehicle.
Thanks for understanding the simplicity of its use as a carrying strap...this seems to be lost on the trolls and others who cannot see the "forest for the trees". - Craig
all kinds of uses for paracord,,,, ALL KINNDZZZ
Loved your sense of humor! Thanks guys! Buying the product I was researching due to your video! :)
This was fun and informative! I really appreciate this. It definitely gets the creative juices flowing for the novice backpacker like myself. and I couldn't help but to subscribe!
hey I would like to apologize about the last comment I was immature and didn't understand the point of the video
+Mason Roebuck Not sure what you are referring to. It must have not posted, or you made it under a different account name. ~Craig
like none of these were survival applications, just mostly way to carry some extra cord.
Then you can ignore them and move on.
In order to have paracord with you, you need to have different ways of carrying it without it taking up space in your BOB. The idea is that you don't need to keep it like that. Should something happen and you need the paracord it can then be undone and used for other tasks.
Craig Burr thanks Craig, you sir actually understood what was going on here. I appreciate you commenting here. Most of these other folks think it was all about just numbers..I guess I should have explicitly said on camera what you just said. I was wrong in that I thought that was obvvious and glad you are one of the few to have known this was a method for carrying cordage.
Nature Reliance
Your Welcome. It seems a lot of people now automatically make assumptions about the video without either watching the video or taking the time to understand it before replying. Great stuff anyway and keep it up
THANK YOU for making the video 101 paracord uses. It was very informative. I like your family's since of togetherness and witt !
Here's something you can add to your list. Cut a 3' piece of paracord and tie the ends using an Improved Blood Knot. You can put the knot out to the side and then tie a figure 8 knot close to the end of the pulled loop forming a pocket for your carabiner. (never have the Blood-Knot at the end.
There are many uses for this set-up. Pass the lanyard around a limb, before you cut it off a tree and snap the carabiner to a rope tied to your chipper and when the limb gets sawed off, it zip-lines to the chipper...no dragging. You can pass it around a tree and back thru itself and use the carabiner as a quick disconnect for a ridge line, or to hang your pack from a tree. You can also use it as a Prussic for rescue (You need 3. One for each foot and one for your chest. You might ought to braid 3 pieces of paracord together for these rescue rope climbers. I wouldn't trust my weight to one piece by itself) !
Cut a 12" piece of paracord and burn the ends. Wrap your spears and gigs till you have 6 wraps to go, and double tge 12" piece and lay it on your wrappings. Continue to wrap over it till you only have 2" left. Stick that tail thru the loop and pull the loop tails, QUICKLY, while holding pressure on the tag-line end, with your thumb. Cut off the excess. Save the foot long piece for future wrapping. This works much better than the standard bushcraft over-wrap and pull method.
Hope you enjoy-joy these.

Thanks man, I wanted to make this both fun and educational...glad you liked it...I actually did not notice that the can had fallen off until the editing had been done...I had a pretty good laugh with that too.
The tree branch was particularly funny too!
Great video. Very entertaining and informative. It's rare to find both these qualities in a survival youtube vid. Great job from the whole family and friends.
You put a lot of effort into this so thumbs up for that.
Wow! That was great. Very good effort making that over a long period of time. Thanks. And good humor as well. Cheers bro.
Loved this video. Great sense of humor, Dan.
+Zeoli123 Thanks...I am Craig, the dude in the video. Dan does not appear in our videos. You can check us out over at the Nature Reliance School youtube page as well. Thanks! - Craig
Great video brother. I like how you got the kids involved. "Thanks DAD!!" LoL

Great video, very well done!
Great video. Moving Target holder was the best!!
Awesome vid Craig. Here's another useful one I've done- use the inner strands to weave a fishing net.
very funny and educational you gave me a much needed laugh ...... much appreciated
Excellent video! Informative and light hearted...
# 102..if you find yourself unexpectedly kidnapped and bound by zip ties/flex cuffs you can take the paracord you're using as shoes strings and it will saw through the zip tie material like a knife. Great video, I learned some new uses for 550 cord.. new subscriber :-)
Great Video, made me laugh a lot, keep up the good work!
Glad you enjoyed it Ernie. Please share it with anyone and everyone :)
I've just recently picked up paracord as part of something I keep on me all the time (through a bracelet... or three.) and I've been trying to convince some of my family why it's useful for far more than just things that could happen in the wilderness. Awesome stuff and I might have to show them this. O:
Dude! You and your family are good stuff!!
I appreciate good humour, you guys would be a hoot to camp out with,,,, funny.
That sling bit for crappy survival kits had me rollin'! So did the "Thanks, daddy, you're the greatest!" lmfao. Great video!
What a great video! Thank you so much!!!
Very funny but with a serious message. Thank you guys.
it takes a lot to make me laugh. You're a very funny bloke.
Cheers, Dan. That was entertaining and quite useful.
Thanks for watching here at Omega Gear! Please check out my personal channel as well ruclips.net/user/naturereliance. ~Craig, Nature Reliance School
Thank you for sharing......much information on how to use paracord and very entertaining!!
This is actually about 10 uses or so repeated 10 times with different items or a slightly different method.
Thanks for the comment...we love trolls just like we love admirers..thanks!
DansDepot
When exactly did criticism become trolling? Frankly I am insulted to be compared to those scumbags.
razorbackblood06 Sorry...the video and the comment above was intended to be lighthearted and fun....I apologize that it was not obvious.
DansDepot I get that this was meant to be a bit silly and I like the video but you really did mention fishing line twice lol
thanks so much for this video and all of the great ideas!!!
Thanks for your comments!
that really gave my ideas on what to do to set up camp
great video and you shared the fun of making it ^^
Great video! Informative and entertaining. thank you :)
This military vet and law enforcement woman loves your videos. Yes, women love fishing and the great outdoors just as much as men. My son has been fishing and hunting at a young age because we are from Michigan.
Thanks we did have fun doing this one!!
Subscribed! Thank you for the videos and advise.
That was very informative and funny at the same time. Thanks.
+Nawras Al-Abbas Glad I could add some enjoyment to your day! Thanks for watching! ~Craig
Thank you for this this video!!! Oh man, I had a long day, this is just what I needed! I am still giggling! Seriously though, thanks for the video! I'm guessing that took a LOT of time to put together: It is fantastic. I was actually searching for some paracord tying/braiding techniques and I found this (very glad I did!) You have a new subscriber. Silly as it was I still got learn-ed, too!
That is great to hear! It did take a while to put together, but we all had fun filming it. My family and outdoor crew were willing to be silly in order to get every thing done. Thanks for taking to time to watch and comment! We're glad to have you join us! ~Craig
hey kris lo here is a video we did about paracord bracelet..ruclips.net/video/2SN-SReF5bE/видео.html
Fun and informative video, thanks!
Subscribed, i'm buying some paracord and a paracord bracelet. You'll never know when you need it and it is always good to have. Cheers!
I just watched a show on the weather channel in which the guide used the inner strings to make a net for fishing. Between the para cord and some sticks fashioned into a racquet style holder, he channeled a stream between some rocks, and placed the net in the mouth. Coughs a lot of leaves, and a couple of fish!
Thanks! I worked really hard on this one.
This was a great video, thanks for the ideas.
You are welcome, thanks for stopping by, watching and commenting
THanks! It has been my desire to always be a garden gnome...lol :). My wife said I look pretty funny in that section as well. :) Glad you enjoyed the video, glad you got a good laugh out of it too :) - Craig
I lost it at " a moving target holder"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just for fun i tried some of these and they worked out great thanks for all the ideas
Great laugh- nice light hearted video - never tried lighting it must give it a spark next time out :)
So useful info.^^
Thanks so much Dan!!
I get the repeats about straps. I replace all cordage with 550 paracord whenever possible so it makes sense to me. Great video.
You sir, are the smart one of the bunch. THanks for commenting.
