I got the Ashley Book of Knots for Christmas, and 100 feet of 550, black.
I'm having a blast lol

I watched some YouTube videos and learned how to tie a snake knot out of paracord.

That's the exact knot I started with! I made a lanyard for my Huntsman SAK.

That Ashley book of knots is awesome. I learned how to splice rope from it. Been making loops and dog points on all the tag lines at work.

Its honestly kinda overwhelming. I wouldve never imagined there were that many things you could do with rope. I get lost when I open it up, haha!

550 cord is a staple! I took the padding off the top part of my tree climber and wrapped it in green 550, so much easier than having that shifty sleeve. Iโm gonna have to look into this book of knots though, sounds like some good stuff.

I made two survival bracelets yesterday super quick.
Those are deceptively easy to make.
