What is Paracord?
"Parachute cord (also paracord or 550 cord when referring to type-III paracord) is a lightweight nylon kernmantle rope originally used in the suspension lines of parachutes. This cord is useful for many other tasks and is now used as a general purpose utility cord by both military personnel and civilians.
The yarns of the core (commonly referred to as "the guts") can also be removed when finer string is needed, for instance as sewing thread to repair gear, or to be used as fishing line in a survival situation. The nylon sheath is often used alone, the yarn in the core removed, when a thinner or less elastic cord is needed such as when used as a boot lace. Ends of the cord are almost always melted and crimped to prevent fraying.
In addition to purely utility functions, paracord can be used to fashion knotted or braided bracelets, lanyards, belts, and other decorative items. These are sometimes tied in a fashion that can easily be unraveled for use in a survival situation. Some companies use paracord in conjunction with other survival components to create everyday wearable survival kits.
Hikers and outdoor sports enthusiasts sometimes use "survival bracelets" made of several feet of paracord which is woven into a compact and wearable form. Such bracelets are meant to be unraveled when one needs rope for whatever purpose - securing cargo, lashing together poles, fixing broken straps or belts, or assisting with water rescues. Young survivalists (boy scouts) are also taught the importance of using the paracord as a survival tool.On the other hand, the paracord is a poor choice for an emergency tourniquet as its small diameter will crush tissue without applying the needed pressure to stop bleeding.
Additional uses for parachute cord are in the manufacture of items such as lanyards, belts, dog leashes, rosaries, and key chains. This is becoming more popular as crafters are discovering this material."

Wish this video was shown in more of your great videos! I lucked upon it by reading hundreds of responses.
Todd Thanks for the explanation. You and I have the exact same philosophy when it comes to making these paracord bracelet videos. Just "Get 'ER DONE" and leave out all of the other distractions!
I think your your videos are perfect just the way they are. Thanks for teaching me about my favorite hobby and for all the hard work making and posting your vids!
Todd, I like your style. Enjoy your videos very much!
i agree, I find it more enjoyable listening to music and your demonstration Paracord on....
Great vid! it's a shame you don't talk in your videos as you have a very pleasant sounding voice. :) Keep up the great work!
i say do what you feel! ignore the others who refuse to understand
Todd, don't change a thing. Though your voice is comforting and may help some, I find the soothing music works best for me. I'm tired of hearing over the back, through the middle, make a loop, over the top two etc., etc. Your calculations are spot on. It's also nice to see the magician behind those magical fingers. Have completed many of your tutorials without having to go back and re-tie. Also, the pace is perfect. Keep it up Todd, thousands of us rely on you. Thanks!!!
I dig the handy dandy equations. Got anymore?
Brilliant . Simple. Thank you.
Thxxxx:) :) I always had a struggle with the calculation. This is so logical.....lollll to logical for me.....
I am very clear, thank you very much for the advice.
Good to see that handsome face! Good info, Todd! Thanks!
I appreciate your approach to making videos. As I mature in the art I find the jabber to be boring and I get annoyed.. I want straight forward instructions without the talking. Thank you for sharing your art.
So nice to finally meet you :)
Awesome voice Todd!
THANK YOU ! :D
Todd, you should talk more in your videos... You have a great voice... When I first started making instructional videos for my website, I stuttered and stammered and didn't know what to say while I was making the video... The answer to talking well in my videos was simple... Do what the professionals do... Script what I needed to say and over dub everything... So I made my videos, and then I edited my videos and then wrote a script describing what I was doing in the videos...
your voice is awesome
If it aint broke, don't fix it. Keep it B/S and jabber free, that's how we like your vid's.
