Make the "Gorilla Knot" Paracord Survival Bracelet - DIY - BoredParacord 

This is my first paracord bracelet. I made mine with pink and black for a gentleman who is a breast cancer survivor. Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing!

Devon King me too

Very good idea for that. I will be doing that from now on.

For belts I use a standard belt buckle

Make sure you send me pictures when you do. Boredparacord@gmail.com

+Lucchini Rodriguez Yes, you can do it "Mad Max" style. You might also want to consider a simple diamond knot and loop closure - it's really easy to tie.

That's what I was thinking. I winced when he said he was going to cut and splice.

Its trial and error, I work off arm lengths, with the cord coming across my chest and arms stretched out to the sides, it makes it quicker and easier than working in inches/cms. so for example for a basic cobra stitch bracelet from around 6 to 8 inches I know I will need one arm length of each colour joined together or two arm lengths for a single colour bracelet. I now have a record of the cord measured and the outcome of the bracelet with the AL (arm lengths) I used. some say you need a foot of cord for every inch of bracelet but I found this very unreliable, you will find your own methods but its much better to have too much than to run out, and you can all ways find use for the waste cord. Hope this helps a little!

I was told its one foot to every inch not sure if its true , iv never ran out and only had a few inches left over at the end

Thank you! So the best way is just take the whole bundle of 100 feet and measure of how much will be left over.

that would be a lot of cord . for 23 1/2 in for a dog collar you should only need to use around 24 foot of cord ( better to have to much than not enough ) . now if you are doing two colors divide it by two that would make it 12 foot per color . hope this helps .

It's really personal preference. I like to tie mine tight because it gives a nicer appearance. Some people like them softer by tying them not as tight.

I guess technically it's the same knot but there are some innovations in this video. The color arrangement is one, and the finish is another. (However I don't like the finish; why not finish with black?) but the most important point in this video is calling out the way the individual cords twist and lay through the knot, making this the more beautiful execution. Still, I "like" your video and your credit is due.

Lol I call bs on this

3/4"

+Dani Legocity i am trying to make it

That's a King Cobra. :)

I kinda dig that he avoids using them, because went the newbies are starting out it can help them figure out some decent designs, before having to invest.

whoa, it's almost as if people do things differently. who would have ever thought?!

I don't know if you mean the single strands keep twisting or the entire knot. If it's the knot you have to make sure that you alternate sides when you're tying it (left side, right side, left side, etc.). If you do it all on the same side it will twist into a "DNA" shape. I use the DNA shape a lot of the time for keychains and stuff, it's a cool shape, but only if you're doing it on purpose. Hope that helps. Peace.

No, it may have been a setting in my camera. Not sure. :(

BoredParacord still a great bracelet tho good job.

+Aron Lepp yep

Perfect, that is exactly why I ask that someone tell me. I will get the name changed. Thanks Geoff!

His videos were how I learned my first knots. The details really helped, because it reduced mistakes that I made in trying to bull-in-a-china-shop my way through others' videos. Not every content creator is going to suit everyone's needs. I guess this one just isn't your jam.
