well yes that would make a HUGE bracelet, thats not what it is meant for. i have a found a great use is strapping it to my campig backpack. that way I can get some paracord without taking off the sinnet

MOSWAT, definitely. This is where this technique truly shines. When you need a certain length of 550 on the spot.

Seems like a very interesting knot and one worth knowing, but the Alpine knot, which was also featured in a previous knot of the week, is just as good in terms of storage but much less time consuming.

I’ll have to try this out this weekend. I’ve been doing the chain like you use for electrical cord. Which easy to undo and redo, it’s a pain when you need five feet or so, and then have five feet you can’t do anything with until you rewrap the whole thing.

@Ben
I agree, it takes some effort to ring up, but it really comes into its own when you have to deploy it RIGHT NOW. Waiting to unkink your 550 on a call sucks.

I was board last night and decided I would try this out. It took me a little longer then the hour or so in the video. It is a nice and compact way to store para cord but I don’t think I will make another one. It’s just easier to coil it up.

So how long did it take? 100 foot I just roll it into a ball and put it in the EDC but I only carry 25′ the 100′ length is in the Car packs and 500′ in the BOB.
