100mph tape bro, been securing straps and dangly things for decades
Dangly things lol just ask Rupaul about how to secure
Ok, I've gotta state the obvious. The "only need one dangly thing" was hilarious!! 🤣
I wanted to comment the same😂
😂
Waiting for the paracord tip that stops this from dangling
@@jack002tuber
You're about to fall into a bondage rabbit hole.
We need to see the Paracord solution for that other dangling thing. A sheath perhaps.....😉
I haven't used this sort of knot in many years, but now I remember how useful it can be. Thanks for sharing! (those elastic holders suck)
I’m just glad you brought up the Solomon knot/square knot/ cobra knot issue. As always thanks for the video!
Portuguese sennit. IYKYK
Looks like a cool way to add a pop of color if you wanted, too. Speaking of color - that's a clever trick, coloring in the white core with sharpie. I'll have to remember that one!
Wait, how do the ends stay in place? Looks like it would easily pop out 😮
When you snip, melt, and press down on the melted ends the molten plastic sticks the end of the cord to the surrounding area and keeps it secure. But you do have to melt it enough so that it does this.
Great idea, Ive got a few old 5.11 packs that have knackered elastic retainers, I like to roll the excess webbing and tuck the whole roll into the elastic so I am hard on them. I had been thinking of simply sewing some fresh elastics on but will try some cord first, cheers.
Sewing would be a great and more permanent option for sure, but the paracord would be a lot quicker and easier. Hope it works out either way! Thanks for the comment
My packs from Sandpiper of California came with the excess already rolled/folded up and tucked under the elastic and I’ve been using that technique for years 👍
Effectively does what you want it to do and looks good too, like it belongs.
That’s a great idea so simple yet great. I can’t stand dangling straps so thank you very much for sharing your solution 👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect. This one I can genuinely use right now. Thanx for the Ebook too.
I did the same thing with my daughter's scout Belt 2 years ago… she hated the extra length that was between the belt loops…. So I made her an extra "loop" to put the end of the belt through to hold it in place…. Cobra knots are so useful 😊😊😊
They definitely are, amazing how such a simple knot can be used for so many purposes!
@@TheWeaversofEternity yep! I’ve been teaching our scouts some new knots besides the standard scout knots…. They call me "the crazy knot lady." lol…. Got them all tying alpine butterfly knots and the prusik hitch now…. Had some of the kids trying to hang stuff up and didn’t know how to get it done… so I said it’s knot lesson time! I love the prusik hitch….
Awesome video, have been having this issue with my alpaka utility pouch with the upgraded strap. This is the solution I have been waiting for!
Perfect solution for my daily nemesis 👍
This is great! The keepers on my fall arrest harness suck!! I'm gonna fix that tomorrow with this little trick. Thanks!
Literally just made one of these keepers for my messenger bag. Gonna see how it performs when I work tomorrow, thank you for the idea Tim
You're welcome, hope it works well for you and let me know how it goes!
Wow! What great and useful video! I bought elastic bands but often were too tight or too loose.
So I’d cut them and restitch them. But even elastic doesn’t last. This is very helpful. Thanx!
Good way to carry cord, just in case.
Add some simple bandages and alcohol pads between the phone and the plastic protector and a ring made with wire, and you have it all.
Just discovered your channel and immediately knew it was for me! To abuse a popular maxim, “to a man with a box of paracord, every problem looks like an opportunity for cord weaving and knotting.” Or something like that. Anyway I’ve got a lot of dangly straps that need paracord cobra keepers.
I've been using black 10 inch zip ties for this purpose. But I'm gonna try this one. Thanks!
What tool are you using to press the melted ends?
Paracord knotters tool/marlinspike
That's a titanium marlinspike by Patrick Ober of Ober Metalworks
I have had this exact issue with my Alpaka sling, ended up ordering oversized metal triglides that fit over the buckle. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this! You’re a legend!
Thanks! If the triglides are too heavy or cumbersome, you can always switch to this method!
Great stuff thx!! I never thought of this one. I made use of a "soft shackle" when my umbrella had a breakdown recently, and remained half open bcoz well... It's old. And two times the paracord from deployable bracelets fixed broken bags, that breaks when u step off the bus. (Sharp edges from other packages cuts through plastic) Anyway, great upload thx!!
Those are great fixes! I've been thinking of doing a simple "soft shackle" tutorial too. Will have to come up with different examples of it's use in everyday life. So thanks for sharing those ideas with me!
I did this mod along with a cobra knot top handle wrap for my Tomtoc sling. It’s primarily a black bag, but has some red highlights, so I got some red/black camo cord from your store for the weaves. I love how it came out, I really feel like it personalizes the sling to me. I also added a fun bead on a tail at the end of the handle wrap for a little more flair. Thanks for the information and inspiration. Carry on.
Or you can just roll the excess strap and secure it with the elastic band that’s already in there.
I tried that, but I didn't like having a section of the strap that was extra bulky as I'd sometimes feel it against my back when I'm sitting in my car
@@TheWeaversofEternity well not with that attitude
My simple solution, though not as stylish as yours, is to use the Velcro cable tie/ cable band from DAISO store to fix this problem.
G’day, love the idea and intend to use it. BUT I don’t like the look of it! Do you have another way where the cords are parallel side by side without the angled gaps between them?
Love my alpaca sling keep all my gear in it along with an extra mag for the pistol
Thank you! I love my Mammut Seon Fanny pack but it has two dangling straps that kinda annoy me. Now I have a solution.
I just joined your channel on patreon. You’re doing an awesome job on your channel!! Thank you so much!!
🙏
Thick elasticated hair bands works well for this and many other applications.
Don't forget to cut off all the length you'll never use, which is probably most of that, negating this problem in the first place.
Every part of that bag is made using cord ... 🤯 depends how you like to tie your cobra knot.
Lol, you got the thumbs Up just for the "dangly bit" joke!
I always used zip ties for backpack straps . Your solution is a bit more elegant.
You could also use ranger straps (think slices of bicycle inner tube.
Gonna do this for my bike helmet, it didn't come with a keeper for the strap ends and it's driving me crazy
Idk I never thought about this. So simple but great idea thank you
Seen this video, and modified two sling bags within a half hour. Awesome solution! 👍👍
The video and your comment got me thinking. . . This is certainly adding to my project list. I live in the desert southwest and elastic eats itself out here. Really? These base layer bottoms were still good when I put them in the drawer after the last trip . . .
Nice knot. Looks easy enough. I bet ill mess it up though(overthinking it) 🤷♂️
Ill give it a try as soon as i get my hands on some paracord.
By knot definitions, it’s not a just a square knot, isn’t it more of a hitch?
This'll go great with cobra buckles.
i found a problem and the solution at the same time. thank you
The excess on straps is meant to be folded on itself 3-4 times before going under the elastic band. This keeps it short, tidy, and snug. The trick is learning how tight to fold the strap. Too tight and you end up with too much material under the elastic. Too loose and you end up with a mess of strap that looks like you haven't used an elastic keeper at all.
I've run so many military packs over the years and these always have absurd lengths of straps, as they usually make sure they have and adjustment range to fit on the smallest soldier without body armor right on up to the largest soldier with body armor. Efficiently rolling the straps is critical to having your equipment stay looking tidy, though most will just end up using tape in the end once they've got a "set and forget" length dialed in...
I wear a body harness at my place of employment, same issue with crap Elastic bands, tried using Electrical tape, since the straps on my harness didn't really need regular adjustment. That too, wore loose over time. Definitely gonna give this a whirl whenever I find some paracord!
I've never called it a cobra knot, I called it a cobra weave. Because it's a weave, not one knot. Achieved with square knots. As for the bracelet, someone else can die on that hill.
I use gun sling...which is much much better...
i have other bags where this is a similar issue, thank you for this tip, I have plenty of 550 laying around, I'ma gonna do this today for several. Thanks again!
You're welcome, glad I could be of service!
I think I'm going to find a use for this today. Thanks for the tip Happy St. Patrick's Day 🍀
Hey thank you for the ebook. That’s really cool you did that. I’ve been watching for years and love the videos. Thanks again.
You're welcome, thank you for sticking with me!
Tuck the loose strap under the chest strap.
Like the Solomon Rope Ladder. ❤ Full sized rope ladder to climb.
I have that same water bladder with the additional spigot accessory. Like you, I've beat it up for about 10 years. Basically like new. I second the recommendation.
Useful. Thanks for sharing.
What flashlight is that?
I've added a link for it in the description
Why not just fold up the excess and then secure it with the elastic?
It slips no matter what. I have this case and strap and it's a PITA. I ended up using black tape.
And when you want to adjust it, you always have to sort it out and afterwards fold it back in. I have the strap (put it to various bags/pouches) and folding it nicely is always pissing me off. Staying folded out, flat and put would be it. Will definitely try this out.
Fantastic tutorial thanks!
Cool !
I see at least half a dozen possibilities to implement this...
Great relaxing evening ahead.
Thanks!
Hey brother!! I really enjoy watching your videos!! You’re doing an awesome job on your channel!! I’ll be working on my knots while listening to the melody of your channel it calms me down. Thank you so much for your time!!
Hey bro! Thank you so much for the support and joining up on Patreon, I really appreciate it. Glad the videos have helped you find a sense of peace. You're very welcome!
For the members only videos? Are the only viewed on patreon?
Didn't see this comment til now, but if you're supporting on Patreon, you'll have to watch the exclusives on the Patreon website or through the app. Member's videos on YT are for channel members, same content as Patreon, just different platform.
Yes I support you on Patreon , also, I’m subscribed to your channel on TH-cam, however, I’m old and my eyes are not doing so well and would have liked to watch your projects on tv. Thank you so much for your help!
Best video on you tube to do this tie!!!
Great idea, i have the same pocket with the same strap thanks !!!!
Or you could just put another piece of securing elastic around the strap?
I originally did that with a black rubber band, but it broke off not too long after
I like this. I have a issue like this with my hunting backpack. I will be doing some of these. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome, hope it helps and thanks for the comment!
this dude wants to be EXCESSORIZEME sooooo much
I wouldn't dare even try... he's the 👑lol
@@TheWeaversofEternitygood long may he riegn i like your videos too
How bout you roll or fold the loose bit a few times and then push it under the retainer? #Simple
That's another option for sure, but it would make that part of the strap very bulky. Also this particular retainer is very stretchy and loose, so it would still shift around a lot.
Thanks for another great video sir!
Ive been accessorizing my own bag with the things I've learned on your channel and I'm definitely going to add this as well. Might be able to do something similar with my helmet strap, will have to experiment and see what works!
Keep up the good work!
You're welcome! That's what I love about paracord too, so easy to personalize and accessorize your own stuff and make it yours. Have fun!
Such an awesome idea!! Love your channel. You have such great ideas. Thanks for the awesome content!
Thank you for the kind words! You're most very welcome!
I did knot expect this 😊
This is perfect and works great! However, do you have a solution for excess straps which could be stored cos they're way too long after tightening?
Based on other comments that I've seen you're supposed to roll up the excess and then use webbing/elastic to keep it bundled against the strap.
Thanks for the free ebook. Really enjoying it! Also, I found when doing this “hack” using a piece of cardboard sized to the belt worked so I could cinch down the cord without deforming the belt. Thanks again!
cool purse hack.
amazing hack 👋👋👋 I have the same issue with my beltbag strap...thank you 😊
Thanks, hope it works well for you!
Nice idea dude
Electrical tape for a more permanent effect
Another option for sure, but tape would leave sticky residue on the strap if/when remove it to adjust the strap
Get a bellroy sling. Best straps
I'll have to check those out, thanks for the recommendation!
Sweet
Красава!
How
👍👍👍
Perfect. Just perfect. Thank you. 👍🏻
You're welcome!
What’s the tool you use at 1:43?
That's a titanium marlinspike by Obermetal Works. This one was more on the pricey side due to it's material. But there are cheaper options if you check out my Amazon page for my recommended tools
As a man, I totally agree lol
😅
I don’t see the link to the Alpaca Gear.
Ah my bad! I just added the links to the description and pinned comment. Thanks for pointing that out!
Buena idea 😊😊😊😊
Will definitely try that, thank you.
Please do and you're welcome!
Yo what is that hoodie?
That's the stretch dry sweat full zip hoodie from Uniqlo
Seriously?
Yeah seriously...
Hi, what's with the bag?
Full review and what's in the bag here ▶th-cam.com/video/mxx8rc0875Y/w-d-xo.html
Or use a safety pin.
That could work too, but this looks way nicer haha
❤
🙏
Cool hack, thanks.
You're welcome, thanks for stopping by as always!
Thanks for the video
You're most very welcome!
it's called webbing. You're supposed to fold the excess webbing and slide the webbing keeper over it. Webbing. Webbing keeper. Learning.
well i sspoze as long as ya got your purse to work out for ya thats all that really matters
have you and if not can you make a bracelet that has spare length cord for self defence such as strangulation lol?
I have seen some on the tube but no one shows how to make one. I feel you are the best so i thought id ask.
Nice handbag. Do they make them for men? 😂
You can call it a sling but it’s a Fanny pack. Yuck.
1:15 so, it is also corrupted 😄
Nice purse
Why do you need a purse ?
