    Help me carry ten feet of paracord.

    I am thinking of adding about 10 feet of paracord to my everyday carry and am looking for ideas on how to best carry it.
    Please post any ideas you guys may have. BTW, I don't carry a backpack, or man purse.
    Thanks, Dan

    Easiest way then would be a bracelet, thats about 10' you just have to unbraid it at time of need. if you wear a boonie hat then you can tie it around the top, you could tie off more the 10', and easy to untie. some have braided a belt, thats a heck of a lot more then 10', only other that i could think of would to be some type of key chain but i think you would be shorter then 10', thats what i could think of..

    Tie the ends together
    Feed both ends through your belt, one end either side of a belt loop
    Then tuck the ends down the inside of your pant leg
    You won't notice it until you need it

    10 feet fits easy in a back pocket. If the coils bother you put them in the middle of a bandana and fold the bandana which will mask the cord somewhat.

    I have about 12' in a small hank, 4" long. I attached a carabiner to one end so it can be clipped on wherever needed.

    Here's how to make a paracord bracelet with monkey's fist button, from one piece of cord. It will be rather easy to untie, but the length available will depend on your wrist or neck size (generally around 8-10 feet). Some people say that the bends and knots will weaken the cord over time. You don't need the skull bead or to 'gut' the cord; both are personal preference. Keep in mind if you decide to gut the cord, it will be substantially weaker.

    For what do you plan to use the cord?

    Variation on the bracelet idea ... ankle-size bracelet. Out-of-sight beneath pants. Depending on your situation, maybe more work- or school-environment apppropriate.

    Also more cord than bracelet.
