My 1st attempt at the blazebar paracord bracelet! I chose this design as it allows for quick release of the cord with a quick pull. No need to fumble by untying and untangling. There are many ways you can set up to tie the cord. This is my way of improvising instead of using a jig. Clamp the "pull" end (with fire steel as a buckle - in this case) down to the table and the other end is just an old lamp stand with a large clip and thin metal rods from a photo stand. Almost done.. you can do this in 2 colors but that would mean joining 2 different color cords together so instead of one long cord, you get 2 shorter cords when the bracelet is unraveled. This design is "wider" compared to most other designs - almost 1 1/4" wide. The advantage would be it packs more cordage into the bracelet. I have small wrist - 6.5" actual diameter and this design packs in about 11' of cordage into the bracelet. You can find many videos on Youtube on h
