- in this video i show how to coil 550 paracord into a donut shape that will be easy to use in the field.550 paracord is used in many bushcraft projects and skills.often the cold will become a tangled mess inside the haversack.with the simple coil weaving i show you can make the 550 into a donut shaped coil that will not tangle inside the haversack.
I was taught that daisy chain rolling up extension cords on a subdivision construction crew as a teenager in Houston ...been using it 50+ years... 👍
Excellent ......you just taught this old dog a new trick! Thanks for the video Blackie and for sharing your thoughts, ideas and experience with us.
Hi Blackie ,greeting from Australia, thanks for the video, use this one all the time, thank you for sharing it with us.
I keep about 60ft of cord tied up this way, for my bear bag. the extra cord acts as a good weight to sling over a tree limb, to hang your food bag at night. also carries well on the shoulder strap of a haversack to save room inside. and put a bit of cord directly at hand. great technique. keep up the good work bringing information to the masses.
So, it’s basically crochet with no hooks. Neat!
Neat trick! I have done this with electric cords for years, only not in a doughnut! This looks like a good idea for paracord in short lengths. Another good tip Blackie, love these short tip videos. Happy trails!
Ive been crocheting paracord for sometime now. I made a bottle cozy for my ss bottle. Not entirely difficult once you figure out how much slack to leave and do it consistently for a nice look. Much easier to us a crochet tool.
Thanks blackie. I use that trick. Keeps everything very neat. It is time consuming, but I think it's time worth spending to keep your cordage tidy. Another great video with an awesome bushcraft life hack.
nice, effectively a circular drummers plait
That's a cool trick, I do that when I am using tiedown straps for my truck and I have extra hanging off I crochet it together and half hitch the the last looped end, it works great because you can neatly eat up like 8 feet of slack into 1 foot and it won't come undone in the wind. For paracord storage in my pack I use one of those really thin cheapy grocery store brand spring water bottles for my paracord, it works great. You can feed the paracord right into the bottle and it will hold up to about 75', cut a small X into the cap and pull the end of the cord out a inch or so to be grabbed easily and pulled out when needed then screw the cap on, then you can crush the bottle flat and toss it in your pack, it basically makes a paracord dispenser and it never gets tangled and you have a backup water bottle at the same time.
dmith smith sweet trick!
excellent vidio sir thank you for the information have a great weekend
Thanks, you too!
I cant say anything, when I was a young man if someone had a parachute I sure as hell would have tried it, in fact three beers and I probably could be talked into it now.
Great!
Thumbs up!!!

Learned this one on one at Blackie’s gathering back in April. Thanks a lot buddy
Super nice...!!! I'm too lazy...lol I'm a figure 8 hanker....
Thanks for sharing !
Great idea blackie!!! It’s going in trapping pack. For sure.
Thanks!!
Your Awesome, Blackie !!
Thank You, Sir. H.
I did it. Super cool😜
I love/hate paracord! LOL! Good idea, Blackie. Thanks.
great info
I was wonder if this was what you were doing. I saw Steve's video years ago. I have been using it ever since.
Good stuff Blackie, thanks!
You said about 5 minutes to remake the donut. When I break camp I take everything down while breakfast is cooking. I can wind that bad boy up over morning coffee. Will be even easier with hammock camping. Never been easier to break camp. 20 minutes and I'm already eating. Oatmeal is my favorite breakfast for an on the move weekend. Static camp, now that is bacon and eggs for sure. Blackie a video on how quick you can be on the move with minimal effort would be great. Your fault I've gotten into using a rain fly and a hammock. Sleep great way less to carry.
Thank you ! Note : Don't do 100 ft. With arthritis 😂
Awesome tips, Blackie! That's going in my bag. Quick question; if you hat is felted wool, how do you remove sweat stains? Vinegar and water? Looks hot down your way! Take care.
to be honest i don't..i just let it age naturaly..my hat was bought new in 1995
Blackie, where do you buy the shroud line? Looked for it on line and can't find it. Maybe the spelling is wrong?
Here’s another method, and I believe it’s faster. You can pull out as much as you want, as shown in the video, then tighten the wrapping to fit the new, smaller bundle. It can hitch up some,but not too much. And you may have to undo it all to make a new bundle when you want to roll it in, but it’s so much faster I think it’s worth it.
