Its crazy how people will pay for stuff like this when you can learn to stitch, sew, knot, etc fairly easily by learning on youtube and you can source literally all the materials from to make like 50 of these things from Aliexpress for like 9 bucks lol. When anything breaks around the house I get excited because its an opportunity to learn to fix something better than it was before.
It's definitely one of those situations where people just lack the know how and/or are just willing to pay for the convenience to have it shipped right to their door. But I'm with you on that, I also prefer to be able to fix things myself unless it's something way out of my league!
Glad you did and I've been aiming for that look/feel to the video during the tutorial section so I'm glad you picked up on that! Thanks for checking it out and commenting!
I have noticed a lot of things on kickstarter like that, things that would be so easy for anyone to make its almost pointless to do a kickstarter for it, so far the only two things i have gotten on kickstarter was way back when i saw peak designs capture camera clip, i still use it all the time, and one of my favorite artists did an art book lol.
I've supported a few kickstarters myself too, but similar to you, they were for things I could definitely not make myself. One was a titanium carabiner and the other was a titanium pen haha
This kind of kickstarters are apparently really good way to earn by targeting people who have more money than brain. Seen some ridiculous things such as machined screwbits from titanium. Sure, you probably can't make them yourself and they last a bit longer than traditional tool metal and whatnot, but nothing really can justify the ridiculous price for such things. I would even argue that kind of things are straight up scams, praying on peoples' inability to distinguish between their needs and wants.
Thank you so much Tim!!! You’re a genius!!😂💯👍🏿 loving your creativity on the use!!! Very multi usability!!! I have a Grayl filter system that I take with me when I’m in the woods with my dogs. Definitely going to make one for myself!! Nicely done brother!!! Loving your channel and work. Strength and honor my brother be well!!👍🏿👍🏿💯💯❤️❤️ from Washington state 🇺🇸
Hey Hector! Thanks so much for the amazing support as always, and you're too kind haha, I'm far from a genius lol! Hope one of these lanyards serves you well though brother! All the best!
Ohhh... cord locks for pace counting! I've always used single strand diamond knots to make ranger beads as a pace counter. Cord locks would make an even easier version for sure. Great suggestion Roy!
I guess it's not an "unreasonable" price if you know nothing about paracord or you have no interest in making something like that for yourself. But for us, it's 100% ridiculous hahaha
This might be going out on a limb, but maybe this channel and community could help. I made a set of paracord suspenders for my brother (he’s always moving and tends to wear out stuff very quickly) and they’ve held up for the years he’s been wearing them. He’s gotten a few people asking if they could buy a set, but there’s the problem. I couldn’t figure out how to make them size adjustable so it was a custom fit and one size fits all isn’t the vibe with suspenders. Any ideas how I could incorporate something to adjust the length?
The first thing that came to mind was somehow incorporating the Mad Max cincher that's on the Mad Max style paracord bracelets, which could potentially allow for adjustable paracord suspenders, but that would depend on how you're making them. If you're using solomon knots I think it would be a good solution.
Hey there, we only have the black one on the site right now, the raw metal one I used is actually titanium and it came from obermetalworks, but it wasn't cheap of course. I'll see what I can do with getting something similar and perhaps more affordable into our inventory
haha, i was just thinking of doing the same, although I wanted to to use upgraded materials (like TITAN Survivorcord, better hardware etc) to actually make it "worth" the $30... [though unfortunately Titanium "dogs noses" don't seem to exist]
Aw, it'd be really cool to have some titanium dog noses. They might be kinda expensive to produce for such a minor piece of hardware though so perhaps that's why they don't exist.
@@TheWeaversofEternity actually since then I have found at least 2 cord stoppers made from titanium, though they are very expensive for such hardware... One looks perfect and is a double, but only available anodized blue and seems like a limited run so not sure about availability, and another is a cool stonewash, but single strand, so not great for this project...
The amount of paracord i can get for that $30 tho... Also amazing flashlight, i've got the same for years ( with paracord attached to it from your tutorials ofc) and it's never failed me :D
Don't be sloppy with the names, causing confusion: TWO wraps around a line and feeding the end through the wraps is a double fishermen's knot, the scaffold knot is done with THREE wraps! I use the double fishermen's knot a lot with paracord loops of different sizes - if you pull the two knots apart, you can tie in water bottles, shoes, jackets, sweaters or tools, everything with a reduction between two bulkier sides and hang it on you belt, pack or throw it over your shoulder. Useful knot to connect two pieces of cord or rope too. Don't mind the Kickstarter Project, as many others, it's heavily overprized.
I doubt you did much to hurt the inventor's revenue. In this day and time where people who are broke pay Door dash for fast food to be delivered because they are too lazy to get out of the house. I think they are safe. The complexity of tying knots is far above that of a game controller or the door dash app on their phone!!! The barrier is to high to overcome.
Honestly, there are so many things made of paracord that really just feel like ripoffs, i know theres the convenience of not having to make it yourself but 30min production time + $8 in supplies does not equal anything more than maybe $20
This is true, but at the same time we live in the age of instant gratification so I'm not surprised that there are a lot of people that were willing to pay for something like this. But at least we don't have to lol
I'm always getting a good laugh out of stupidly simple but highly marketed and overpriced products like these. It's especially funny how it seemingly took them almost 3 years to come up with the idea of putting a carabiner and a cord lock on a piece of paracord. Like... wow. Just wow. But just goes to show that there's literally a market for anything.
The things that people will actually pay $30 for... This is why I'm not rich. I'm too honest to think about taking advantage of people's stupidity by putting out something as simple as this product/project at a drastically inflated price.
It's definitely one of those things someone would pay for simply because they don't have the know how or have the willingness to learn to make. That being said though, you can still become a rich person while staying honest 🙂
I like utility projects much more than just fashion/decorative stuff
I'll be sure to come up with more practical stuff!

or even make one from a round shoe lace if you don't have paracord ready lol

@@anteshell titanium bits will also quickly wear down your cheap metal screws that come in most things these days as well
This is cool! I will definetly make this.
Have fun with it!

This is super simple and cool. I'm definitely going to make some of these for friends and family
Thanks and yeah they would make for great gifts or even stocking stuffers this upcoming Christmas!
I literally made this myself the other day! It cost me the same amount for all of the supplies but now I can make 4-5 of them!
Awesome!
Ok if you add a few more cord locks you can use it as a pace counter for land navigation giving it five uses. Good video. God bless.

You're welcome, thanks for watching it!
Thank you for posting

Good stuff there, thanks.

Can confirm, easy to make. Took longer to find the scattered bits than it did to make a simple version.

My bad! I'll be sure to be more cognizant of the proper names in the future, thanks for pointing that out!
good
thanks! 🙏
How did they get $30 a pop for that?..
Good marketing and people don't really know better
Dog nose’s can be replaced by diamond knots
This is true! Single strand diamond knot/celtic button knot would work almost as well as a cord lock as long as you tie it tightly
I doubt you did much to hurt the inventor's revenue. In this day and time where people who are broke pay Door dash for fast food to be delivered because they are too lazy to get out of the house. I think they are safe. The complexity of tying knots is far above that of a game controller or the door dash app on their phone!!! The barrier is to high to overcome.
This is very true and a great point! People will often just pay for the convenience, but in this case for us paracord people, we don't need to! haha
I wonder how many bushcrafters were already creating these for their own use, and never thought to sell them to people who are to lazy to DIY?
Probably a lot haha
I hàve been making those for years for kids I guess I missed out on money
$30 is robbery.
yeahhh... it's a bit much
