Came in handy huh! Something like this I can deal with, I just don't want to use it to make shelter out of sticks because I'm stranded somewhere lol.I lost a bungee on a motorcycle road trip. Unraveled a bracelet and secured the dry bags.
I like that! Good work sirHow about a silly/romantic story? Kathleen and I first uh.. "got together" in my 10x10 Cabela's Outback Lodge, hereinafter referred to as "the Magic Tent." It has a significance to us, as does just being out alone together in a tent. She wanted me to propose in the Magic Tent.
Later, we decided a stay at the nice Tulalip Resort/Casino Hotel would be OK. So I stuck a ball of paracord into my bag (there's usually some in the car). When we got back to our room that night, I pulled out the paracord, strung it up, and using the sheets, bedspread, etc. from the king sized bed, constructed a tent in the hotel room. That was where I proposed. She loved it. We had a great night!
And oh yeah, it's been a fantastic marriage!![]()

Ok that one is actually pretty cool. Glad she was a good sport about it lolNot my story but my nephews. He and his bride were staying at the inlaw's cabin in the boonies of Missouri. He walked out on the second floor deck wearing a robe and his ever present paracord bracelet to drink his morning coffee. His wife came out to join him and when she closed the door behind her it locked, stranding them on the deck. The only solutions were to break the door glass or unravel the bracelet and use it to lower his wife to the ground below to go around to unlock the door. She's a tiny little thing but I'm sure it had to be uncomfortable for her with just a loop of paracord around her under her arms but it worked.
Good thinking. Saved you some body work lol.Once, I lost a hood latch on my wagoneer and the hood was listing up in the wind on the highway. I was afraid it would tweak the sheet metal. I grabbed some 550 I had and tied the hood down to the bumper, problem solved.
Good luck and be safe.I'm going on a survival camp out hopefully this weekend and I know for sure I'll be using paracord. Hopefully I can get a chance to make some cool things I've learned!

Nice looking catch!I like wearing the quick deployment bracelets. I've used them to re-tie a loose load in the pick up truck to secure it. Also , my son and I forgot our stringer out catfishing. We loaded it up with our 10 cat limit.![]()
Welcome to the forum! Good thing you had some paracord with you.I lost a strap on a camping bag at deer camp and had to use a paracord cobra braid to use a strap
