Right on

Dad used to do this with regular 3 strand twisted rope. He held all kinds of stuff on the pack mule that way. I never thought about making my own twisted cord, and the soft shackle option will make it into my kit for sure.

This is such a great tip! I’m gonna do this to all of my tarps and my poncho. I’ve been watching a lot of your older videos, too. It’s a gold mine of genuinely useful information! I really appreciate that you share so much knowledge. Thank you!

Brilliant! Thanks for creating the bush craft spring loop!

The same construction is used in a type of flemish bowstring. I have a small machine, drill driven, to build this type. Good idea, Blackie, of this cord constuction!

Brilliant idea, Blackie. You know, this is how they make those travel clotheslines that you string up in your hotel bathroom that you don't need clothespins for. Just stick the ends of your shirts, socks, and underwear through the gaps and they stay up. Of course they make those out of surgical tubing for extra stretch but the principle's the same and doing it your way with non-stretch cord would work, too, if you twist it enough like you show how.

Exactly!

Thanks for that tutorial. I own a purchased twisted bungee clothesline that is intended to be used for that purpose, but I never gave any thought to crafting anything like that on my own. My mind is spinning right now at the possibilities.

That is a great idea! You are basically making a short piece of reverse wrap cordage with Paracord or bank line, I've made a lot of natural cordage using reverse wrap, but never once thought of using the method for something like this.

I looked at ever verse in the Bible that had ther word simple in it and this is the closest verse I could find, Grandmothers sometimes took it out of content to make it simple for the grandchildren to understand. Pro 21:11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.

You got it!

I've been having some fun making these twisted cords using different materials. A swimming goggle brand also sells replacement bunji type 1/8" elastic cord material about 30" long. I had my best luck with this material; about 15 revolutions worked well. Next I tried 1100 lb paracord from WalMart. I couldn't work with it at all. After stretching the sheath & cutting the excess off, when I started twisting, the filaments inside still twisted to the point where individual kinks would force themselves through the outside sheath. I gave up on that. I also bought some bulk 1/4" bunji cordage from Runnings Store & made up some in 3 different lengths. That worked out quite well. Next I'll try the regular 550 paracord & see how smoothly that goes. Thanks again for that hack that I've never heard of or seen before.
