I have been practicing a few things suchs as knots and other various things like lanyards and lighter wraps.

I got it at Walmart for around $3.00.It has a slide on the back side because it came as a keychain and I just cut the strap off and slid it on the paracord
 
The photo section produced here on Bracelets made with Paracords is awesome. The video produced the clear view of the preparation of these on our own. I was very interested in creating different things with these proceeds for both interior and exterior decorations. Till now I made Luggage tags, Luggage Handle, Security (door lock, tattle tail with bell), Gun slings, Lashing Cargo, Log pall, Pole lashing, Knife lanyard, Necklace and many others by using these Paracords.

That is a good price but shipping could put it over 10.00 bucks for a 100 ft. Not worth it if it does.;
 
That stuff truly is the duct tape of rope. I dig the trilobite weave, I want to make a rifle sling with that pattern. They had some paracord bracelets at the gun show that had fish hooks and stuff woven in. I'm all over that.
 
The Home Depots up here in Orange County just started carrying different types of paracord the past couple of weeks.
Alert, alert, don't buy it, it is junk, it's not true paracord and the inside doesn't have seven strands. JUNK JUNK JUNK
 
There are multiple types of true paracord; The chart below will give you an idea of what you get from each type. The cord you found at your local Home Depot, may not be the type III cord (at least 7 two ply yarns) but it may suit your purpose. Many times the type III (attached image) cord may be more strength then you need, and you can get buy purchasing type II. Type I and IA is used simply for tie down, but cannot hold weight. Need a bore snake for your AR/M4, take your type II or III paracord, remove the guts, tie a knot in the center, and bingo, cleans your rifled barrel to a sparkling clean! I have paracord by 50,100,1000 feet, you can send me a message on the forum, at my email [email protected] or check my website at www.t2tacticalsolutions.com

made me a edc (every day carry) pouch. i put it on the back of belt and wear it every where and i enjoy it. only thing i would have done different is either a detachable belt clip or made it on a snap ring.
