Book Review: Adventures in Paracord

Adventures in Paracord: Survival Bracelets, Watches, Keychains, and More I recently had the opportunity to pick up a copy of Adventures in Paracord: Survival Bracelets, Watches, Keychains, and More. By the title you probably guessed that this book is pretty closely related to what we want to do with this web site.

The book itself has a lot of instruction in it, and at 130 pages is a pretty quick read. There are quite a few photos in the book, but I could personally have done with a little bit more instruction and step-by-step photos. Overall the book itself has a lot of variety, and is certainly geared towards those very in to hunting and fishing, myself included.


While overall a lot of this content can certainly be found online it’s nice to have it consolidated into a single place. It’s something that for me was a worthwhile buy considering it did have a few projects I haven’t seen before. Stay tuned for a few of those I plan to post in the near future too!

This book is available on Amazon here:

Bracelets with Parachute Cord

This is a great how-to I found on making a bracelet with parachute cord. This one I’ve actually modified a bit into a simple gear belt.  The instructions themselves are pretty easy, you just need the following items:

Build a Lanyard With Parachute Cord

I recently finished a really neat project using parachute cord. This came from Intstructables and uses a steel lanyard and some simple weaving to create some cool looking lanyards. I’ve attached a few of these to my pack to attach things like waterbottles, and anything else I take hiking with me. I’ve also used carabiners instead of lanyards since these are also a great safety item to have, combine with a little bit of basic climbing experience.

Pick up some parachute cord from Amazon, along with some swivel snaps, or try to modify this with using carabiners instead.
