Some of the first few years might be missing pictures due to age of the thread. It is still somewhat active and has thousands of pictures

Nice!
Both the wife and I wear cobra-knot bracelets, mostly-aesthetic but incredibly practical in a pinch. We keep 25M of paracord around the house at any given time for random use, typically for tie-downs, etc.
I have a buddy that uses a double-run of paracord and a hammock when camping for a nice place to lay that doesn't take up much space between use.

Yep, I misspoke -- appears be just a cobra-knot/stitch... the super-cobra knot is another task done over the basic one.

Paracord is great for sleeving computer wiring. Here's a piece I did for my own computer, it's an extension for the PSU and 100% custom made with white wiring under the white paracord:

I remember back in the 70's making post holders and dream catchers using macrame.
Nice to see it making a come back

Couple of years ago I was making quite a few of the bracelets for people and to sell here and there. I even made a jig for it.
Put some ruler tape I had on it to help measure out cord. Marks to know where to set the slide for different wrist sizes. And two sizes of clasps for whichever size I was working on.
Haven't touched it in a year or so though. Been sitting in my closet until I got it out for this picture! Lol
Please don't judge me on my fabrication skills. It was late and I put it together pretty quick!

Fun fact: I started that trend. About 4 years ago I wrote a guide and made a video tutorial on overclock.net
Really took off. Glad I don't do it anymore, tedious work.

Thanks to a Facebook link I got my German Shepard a paracord leash and collar.
I liked the look and it's comfortable to hold the leash.I paid $43 + $5 for shipping for a 6 ft leash and a 18" collar.I did not think the price was outrageous and not sure how much time/money /material used . Etsy could be a good market. I'd buy a second one for my other dog if she needs one any time soon.

So what is the big deal with paracord? It's an honest question as I see it as another passing fad.
