Access Paracord Quickly with a Deployment Lanyard - ITS Knot of the Week HD 

No it doesn't, it may look like it does, but it doesn't.

@@marchofnature636 Yes it does, it’s very clear at 3:59 that twists have been built into the stored line. Plenty of bushcraft channels use the figure 8 method to avoid this. Corporals’s Corner is a good example.

@@victorf5404 I've done this several times, and yeah sometimes it twists, but it is so minimal you don't notice it.

This. Watched this thinking he knew something I didn't. Then when I saw him melting his paracord I realised he's a brainlet, so I wasn't surprised at his abject failure.

I didn't even get that far, as soon as he said to melt it I was just confused why the knot of the week starts off without any knotting. Weird.

Don't fuse it, tie a loop on the end with any static knot instead. Knots will hold you weight, fusing only the shell of the paracord will get you killed.

A simple bowline knot can be used instead of fusing the rope, but its a nice touch to have the loop for clip.

I thought about the fusing of the rope and I honestly think it is a good idea because it is not used for maintaining a strong Loop it is made for being quickly breakable and detachable. a way to access it with one hand without having to mess with other loops that would be good strong attachments to the Carabiner

Something like how this guy stores his "Ridgeline System"? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Sipxc4jFI9s.html , (without the small ropes that he uses to attach his tarp) He starts with a bowline at the end, wrapp it up in a figure eight (to avoid tangles), and then end it all with a clove hitch?

@@JohanSimonsson Yep .. that's how I do mine .. works well.

@@chivaking The tension from the wraps would hold it secure enough, I don't see the point in fusing it.

Yeah. If you look up something like "Paracord fast rope" You will see a lot of people doing this same exact thing. Except they all do figure 8 patterns. I even made a two foot jig with one inch spaced holes for making fast rope out of whatever length or type of cord/thin rope I carry.

***** its a godsend when trying to work with long lengths of rope.

You can do this with a figure 8. I do it the same way Ray Mears does it, by figure eighting the cord between my thumb and pinkie finger.

The figure eight helps twist the rope in opposing directions, what you’re doing inherits a continuing twist that will certainly bind up.

@@jeffreycklassen i want to do figure 8 but how would you do it if the rope is too long and wont fit it in your hands? imagine 10 times longers

Just store it inside your pack with your tactical toothbrush.

What did he do wrong?

@@sulben1718 I think they think the figure 8 wrap is better... so it doesn't tangle up. That's how I learned how to store paracord... it works really well.
