As far as I can tell, only the donut allow you to take the length of cord you need without having to redo the whole wrapping process. That's a winner for me despite being a slower method on the wrapping.
After a bit of experimenting I came up with a solution I like. I just coil the cord into a donut and then do a few "stitches" following the method described. So instead of having the entire donut made of these loops kinda things, it's a coil with just a few loops to hold it in place. Pull the end, the stitches get undone and the rest of the coil drops.
It takes a bit of time, but when it’s done it’s a great carry option. I clip in a small carabiner and attach it to the outside of my trekking pack. I’ve only had to pull a few feet a couple of times, but it sure was convenient not to have to deal with the full length of cord.
I'm definitely converting to the fast rope method. I've been using paracord and making things with it as a hobby for years and I'm tired of having to undo the whole bundle to avoid knots everytime I want to use it. Thanks man 👍🏻
Found this video looking for a refresher on how to start the donut coil, used to make some large ones back in my Infantry days. 1) it was almost cathartic to sit and coil a long stretch of rope in a boring down time period (there are plenty), 2) super clean way to pack it, no tangle, no zip lock baggie, it has some rigidity to it so it's easy to grab and go, 3) crazy easy to pull some off in a hurry when you need some cord, 4) the donut doesn't fall apart or get all loose when you pull some off, unlike the basic fast rope style coils. Definitely the best option for tactical cord storage.
Thank you for sharing this is so useful and I’m going to use these methods you have showed. I am new to paracord craft but managed to do one from your vid which is really clear and slow which is brilliant
Love the donut idea! That has a lot of the qualities I was looking for: wearable, compact, can pull as much as you want without unraveling the whole thing.
Thank you Sir, for sharing an excellent video. I like and use the paracord donut it may take a little longer to make but it also has several added benefits that the other methods cannot do to store the paracord. For one, It has an incredible amount of strength to it, the larger you make the paracord donut the stronger it gets. You can easily hook tow straps or tow ropes to it and pull stuck vehicles out as you can make the paracord donut stronger than any tow straps/tow ropes, and you can also use the paracord donut to add other items to it like attach other ropes, chains etc. to have a loop on the end. You can also make this where you can custom fit the loop to your hands and then you can attach the loop to the end of a rope and tie the rope to a beam overhead or even a high tree limb, and let it hang down from the floor high enough so your feet does not touch the floor. Using two of these suspended loops you can do all sorts of exercises without the danger like when using the metal rings hurting your hands or causing blisters etc. You can also use it as a pillow when camping and makes a great cushion to place between all sort of items when moving that you don't want to get damaged. Only your imagination limits the uses that you can do with the paracord donut. Thank you again for sharing. Respectfully, dd
The bottle is dope. You can make a shelf with holes in them and put the bottle threw them upside down. Have a project desk under the shelf and have a 6in-12in strand of cord coming down. So as you need the colors you can just pull down the amount you need. As you do you can watch the bottle deplete of cord. You could have 4 to 6 bottles in a foot. A 6 foot long shelf could have 24-36 different colors of cord.
The donut method is exactly the same as single stitches in crochet, and when you pull it out, in crochet we'd call it frogging it. Funny how all these weaving hobbies are inextricably linked.
Useful to know the fast rope thing exists. I have recieved hanks of paracord from the sellers and did not know how to undo them. I would unwind the middle binding and then have to run out the length. I now see that I only need to pull the other loose end to easily run out the cord. Dohh!
Dude you're awesome! I recently got into paracord. Started with your monkey fist knot begleri and can't get enough. Thank you for the informative tutorials!!
I am a complete beginner and a new subscriber. What I don't like about the bracelet form factor is cutting the expensive Mil Spec paracord into what I'm afraid will be basically useless (or of little use) pieces, so I was happy to find this video. I made the 'Fast Rope Short Hank' with approximately 31 ft. of cord. Then I made the 'Keychain Capprox 10 ft' using another 31 or 32 ft. of cord by making the core loops 8 inches instead of 4 inches. I'm going to try the 'Donut' next, with my remaining 35 ft. of cord. Love this channel. Many thanks for the tutorials.
I use the spool method. I bought some paracord ladders from Amazon (10 for about $15) and put a 100-foot hank on each one and put in my backpacks, glove compartment, etc. That way I don't have to worry about unraveling an end-of-world prepper bracelet, belt, etc. I like the donut method also and noticed years ago that mountain climbers and rescuers use that storage method for their climbing lines as well. They tie the loose end to an anchor point and throw the other end over a cliff or whatever and it unspools perfectly without any tangles as it drops. The water bottle technique is very similar to how the Australian Navy handles their messenger lines when conducting underway replenishments. They put the messenger from the other ship in a trashcan as its being pulled over instead of faking down on deck like the US Navy and other navies do. It's very ingenious and doesn't tangle and takes up a very small footprint on deck whereas faking down takes up quite a bit of space. The other methods are fine but I'm not a MacGyver so I won't be unraveling my paracord keychain, bracelet, or whatever because I'll probably be needing much more than that which is why I prefer the 100-foot spools I mentioned earlier.
Very cool! Yeah, had issues with all my newly purchased REI paracord getting all tangled when I unwound them. Method 1 was too loose. Method 2 was too light. I ended up using the handles of long bolt cutters to give me the right distance. They were at an angle which kinda sucked, but I just made sure not to wind my figure-8's too tight so I could get them off. I got a new swiss army knife showing up in a few days. I think I'll used your key chain method to wind some Survivor cord onto it. Thanks for sharing. That was a very useful video.
Michael Smith - Good idea with the bolt cutters. I love finding alternative uses for tools. Try clamping it in a vise with the handles spaced wide enough for winding. After you're done loosen up the vise and the cord lifts off easy. You can use sections of old garden hose around the handles to keep the vise from leaving scars. No vise, stick the cutting head in a vertical piece of PVC/ABS pipe large enough to push the handles together. You'll need something to place between the handles as a spacer while you are winding, such as a wood block. For easy cord removal, take out the spacer when you're done. I would wish you good luck with the Swiss Army knife, but why bother, they are by definition no luck required. What model you getting? I find that Survivor cord is better idea than it is a reality. Paracord has a legion of uses already. I carry the paracord I use and use the paracord I carry, I'm constantly rigging. Cutting it up to get: wire, fishing line, fire starter, etc. leaves me with nothing left to tie with. If I need those things I'll have dedicated materials. Beside uneven internal strands, particularly wire makes survivor cord harder to manipulate. That doesn't mean that you can't find true happiness with a hank of survivorcord, and if you do, who am I to tell you you're wrong.
I might hot-glue a clip or something inside the bottle cap rather than drilling a hole. If I'm going to add the weight of a bottle, I want a working bottle. Also nice to know that at least your rope is dry after an unexpected dunking.
My daily carry of paracord is 6 feet, doubled over and chained with a slipknot & successive loops. Pull the double end & it unravels. I carry it for a month sometimes all day & it doesn't unravel.
I really like the donut! You can go all the way until there's no hole in the middle. It stores a lot of cord on a very compact form factor, and unlike a spool there's no tube eating up space. The downside is that you need to have plenty of practice to know how wide the initial coils have to be in order to store any given length of cord; too wide and it won't be as compact as possible, too little and you will eventually be unable to store any more cord
Excellent video. An issue I have found with the first several methods is that as you pull cord out of the hank, the wrapped cord becomes increasingly looser. Is there any method to tighten it other than to take it apart and re-wrap it?
I use the fast-rope hanks for most cord, but the donuts work best for the 100' cords I keep in my vehicles and the 50' in my day pack. The donut method kinks the cord, so isn't great for project cordage, but is fine for emergency prep.
I make cord wrapper out of thick card board. Cur a square about 6 inches square, then cut in concave ends . Make sure the ribs run vertical for strength. I cut a angle slice in on side to hold the biter end. Then just wrap like other wrappers.
It seems like the hand wrap and the spool would add lots of twists in the line. The spool would work without twisting the line if you rotated the spool to take up the line rather than twisting the cord around the spool the way you did.
To make the long and short hank methods more sure fire, make sure you leave enough cord left to wrap the entire hank up to a couple of inches on each end. Leaving the loop ends long allows for them to loop over each other and stop a pull.
I made a jig for wrapping my cord. It's a board with holes for dowels every inch. The donuts are neat but they take forever to make and they always leave my fingers raw.
You're welcome,, I've done a tutorial on wrapping a knife handle here: th-cam.com/video/Ii_n0cWx3E4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kEu9fXFe73aNYZpp Maybe this one could work for you too!
For the fast rope method, you can easily do the figure eight between your off-hand thumb and elbow. Fast easy and doable alone, no friends/sticks/chairs needed 🥲
By coiling in figure 8 way you avoid twists in your line. When coiling circular way to not get twists when unspooling you would have to manually uncoil each circle or spin the coil. So figure 8 method is better. There is a way to coil in a circle without twist but you have to alternate each circle hard to explain. This advice is from sailing experience, and video production and music as well. People who coil lines on sailboats, or xlr cables for production do it without twist if they do it correctly.
thanks very informative... i was thinking the bottle is a good idea as you can add a weight to the bottom of the bottle tie the end of the cord to something then throw/deploy you cord and it unspools out of the bottle
Best one not shown is the handle zipper weave. Lay a loop down the handle and with the long loose end wrap under and around your handle loop then back under and around. Keep going and tuck the end in once you get to the other side. When you pull the loop out from the inside it “unzips” and the cord comes loose in one pull with no tangles.
Dude you forgot to include the single loop and double loop daisy chain for storage. As long as the loops aren't to lose it never tangles and you can remove only the length you need, also you can tie the daisy chain onto things like a pack or use it like a thicker rope.
Extra steps for the donut method. Mine for clothesline is daisychaning when combined with the loop and bind (simple first method, long loops short binding [dont know real name]) for storing with the clothespins.
I haven't tried any of these yet but i have used the Slatts rescue weave for a bracelet and was able to store a minimum of 24 feet of paracord on my wrist until my nephew unraveled it and broke the buckles but its an easy fix so i wasn't too upset
Wrapping in the same direction around your hand or spool are not good methods if you are dealing with long lengths as the cord gets twisted the more you wrap around. Wrapping in a figure 8 is vastly superior, because the cord gets twisted one way and then back again, thus removing the twist. You can use a spool by rotating the spool rather than wrapping around it, but it's much more awkward and time consuming. Figure 8s work so much better.
I have been searching for zodiac inspired bracelets, but I can only find 6 or 7 out of the 12. I am looking for the Scorpio but can only see it on Paracord Crafters and I don’t really like how they do their tutorials, they are not nearly as good as yours. Please can you finish the zodiac themed tutorials?? Or at least do the scorpio? Thanks!!!

the downside ive found is the paracord is munted if you leave it in the donut for too long. made me not even try to put it back in a donut
I've been doing a variation if the circle for bag handles and as a stick. Takes time but is the best for rapid deployment.
After a bit of experimenting I came up with a solution I like. I just coil the cord into a donut and then do a few "stitches" following the method described. So instead of having the entire donut made of these loops kinda things, it's a coil with just a few loops to hold it in place. Pull the end, the stitches get undone and the rest of the coil drops.

Thanks for posting this. I've been trying to figure out the best way to store my paracord and rolls into a sort of kit and this will be a huge help.

Frogging it sounds so much funnier than the donut method lol
@@TheWeaversofEternity knitters refer to unraveling work as "frogging" too...I've heard it's because you "rip it, rip it". :P
There are only so many ways to tangle a rope

How many years have I been messing with tangled paracord... 52 now so about 30 odd years lol. Never too old to learn. Thank you
Agradezco mucho tus enseñanzas Amigo realmente es un agrado ver tus videos por que aprendo mucho de ellos.
Gracias Tim.
The number 6 way to store the paracorde is definitely the best one I ever seen for stock it in my EDC Pouch...
The water bottle is perfect, except I’ll use a 1 liter soda bottle for 100’ lengths.
Donut method is good for backpacking.

Keep on Tim!
For the long hank method you can use a thumbs up and your elbow. You just continually wrap it around your thumb and elbow until you are out of rope.
I really recommend the donut it is relaxing to make and during training in the field it came in handy since it was easy to pull out what you needed
All of them. as you said they all are unique in their own way. Great video.
I like the paracord in the bottle. Neat idea. Thanks.

Legendary as always!

Same
The water bottle trick is my favorite !!
thanks very informative... i was thinking the bottle is a good idea as you can add a weight to the bottom of the bottle tie the end of the cord to something then throw/deploy you cord and it unspools out of the bottle
The water bottle is the best one we have ever used in the field as a smart water holds 100ft
Would the quick rope deployment method work with extension cords?
Best one not shown is the handle zipper weave. Lay a loop down the handle and with the long loose end wrap under and around your handle loop then back under and around. Keep going and tuck the end in once you get to the other side. When you pull the loop out from the inside it “unzips” and the cord comes loose in one pull with no tangles.
I gotta admit it's pretty superior!
I found that useful
What kind of weave is the paracord on your wrist? 1:00 or earlier.
Donuts the best but the water bottle is a pretty good solution for a small amount.
Thanks for sharing, great information 👍
I love your videos
I do it between my elbow and hand... that works also
The first two are the best. The rest is pretty gimmicky or not as practical to store cord.
(Except maybe the keychain thingy. That's neat.)
Found this video during a 12 hour shift while deployed. Just spent the last 3 hours making a donut out of 100 feet of 550 cord. Now what?….
The water bottle one is genius!
That orange for the keychain is awesome. Is it a blaze orange?
The chain sinnet works well too. It never tangles.
Agreed. However, it can be bulky and is also not the most convenient to toss into a pack.
That Donut is pretty, but who has the TIME for that?
Thanks for the vid. (c:
could U make a video on how to make a little sack from paracord?
Spool tool is best. Also the most costly.
donut is so great it give more space and fast deploy
I like the bottle method
Dude you forgot to include the single loop and double loop daisy chain for storage. As long as the loops aren't to lose it never tangles and you can remove only the length you need, also you can tie the daisy chain onto things like a pack or use it like a thicker rope.
Ooooh thumbs up I like that lol
Love the donut 🍩
I imagine the bottle method will be prone to tangling after a few shakes and tumbles. I wonder if anyone can tell from experience.
Source for the winder? Thanks
Nice wacht!
Is there any nice bracelet that uses both 550 and 275 paracord?
cool
What is your opinion on daisy chain
Extra steps for the donut method. Mine for clothesline is daisychaning when combined with the loop and bind (simple first method, long loops short binding [dont know real name]) for storing with the clothespins.
I liked the doughnut.
All I’mma say is if someone invents a machine to make donut parachute, you can sell a ton of these.
I haven't tried any of these yet but i have used the Slatts rescue weave for a bracelet and was able to store a minimum of 24 feet of paracord on my wrist until my nephew unraveled it and broke the buckles but its an easy fix so i wasn't too upset
Wrapping in the same direction around your hand or spool are not good methods if you are dealing with long lengths as the cord gets twisted the more you wrap around. Wrapping in a figure 8 is vastly superior, because the cord gets twisted one way and then back again, thus removing the twist. You can use a spool by rotating the spool rather than wrapping around it, but it's much more awkward and time consuming. Figure 8s work so much better.
Whats that carabiner ?
I don't understand how to tie a scaffold knot with a loop. I can tie one without it but I only get a sliding knot if I try to tie it with a loop.
Crochet, again, teach! The donut method is really fast if you use a crochet hook!
I'm going to have to get one!
Cheap and handy. You’ll probably want an aluminum one rather than a plastic one. Give a 7mm (size K) hook a go!

I have been searching for zodiac inspired bracelets, but I can only find 6 or 7 out of the 12. I am looking for the Scorpio but can only see it on Paracord Crafters and I don’t really like how they do their tutorials, they are not nearly as good as yours. Please can you finish the zodiac themed tutorials?? Or at least do the scorpio? Thanks!!!
