Paracordist how to tie a four strand round braid with paracord for a self defense keychain 

This is the best video on RU-vid showing how to make a four strand round braid. Very eay to follow. Thank you.

I always thought that the only skills I lacked were having no sense of direction, tying knots, and cooking. Today I learned that I can add attempting to braid 4 strand round braids to the list. Your tuturial was the only one that I was able to follow. Thank you!!!

Very good job. I have watch 4 or 5 vids on this, and you are the first one who answers a main question and you answered it twice in the first couple minutes of your vid. Thanks.

I just recently go into paracord tying. I've seen the different knots and for some reason I have been making them way more difficult in my head than they really are. I thought this was going to be one of those knots. Thanks for explaining it so easily.

Have to say thank you for your video instructions! I made my first monkeys fist with a golf ball using 9 strands per side! Gonna use it as a get back whip for my motorcycle!

Magic in its finest form. Thanks, Kevin. (Links to related vids would be great!)

I now this is an old video but just wanted to say thanks for posting it. I was able to work the knot. I have been working on it for a while now and yes I have to say it clicked. Again thanks for takeing the time to help out. SandMaan

Kevin......thanks a lot you do awesome work, thank you for the videos there a big help bro!!!!

Inside is a solid steel ball, covered in 550 paracord it becomes a heavy kosh, similar to a blackjack(lead weight with a leather cover and handle) when swung delivers a devasting force concentrated in a small area, even if you didnt hit the face/haed it will still hurt the person, if designed with adequate size and tail length, the results could be deadly.

thx ! it helped me a lot !

Love it and I've just done it! What do you do to tie it off (or to end any other project like this)? Do you sew the ends into the project? Do you fuse the ends together? Both of those "solutions" seem way too amateurish for your work, leading me to think you have a far superior way. I've always had the same difficulty ending projects with that flat plastic vinyl cord that kids used to make lanyards 40 years ago (the stuff is still available).

Hello, love the video, was wondering if you have ever done a full lanyard braid to go around your neck to hold your keys? Also, what is the needle that you are using in several of your videos. Thanks for posting and keep em up. P

hey I would like to make a neck lanyard like the one you do but ive looked all over your page and don't see a how to vid,..would love it if you'd make one so I could follow along. Thanks! Its pretty awesome. thank

Very helpful. for some reason I've had a really hard time getting the hang of this braid.

what kind of braid could you do with just the two strands coming out of the monkey fist?

QuintMa There is a heart shaped knot, I found it while watching Tying It All Together here in RU-vid. Good luck and it is very easy to tie.

I was watching one of your videos and you showed a knife lanyard which looked like it had the four strand braid, cant for the life of me find it now! Any chance of a link to it! Great vids by the way

I think you make the 4 strand round braid process more complicated than it needs to be. Also, how much cord does it take for the entire Battering Ram?

IM making grab handles for my rollbar in my Jeep and want a thick knot such as this (round) but even thicker. Any suggestions??

Great, thanks!

how much of cord did you use of the other clour

How can I make this so the Diameter of the rope is larger say making it a 6 or 8 strand

Please explain how this is a self-defense keychain...I don't get it. Thanks.

Can u make a video for tiecord gamefowl if u can please

god this looks awesome! do you know any heart-shaped knot? i want to suprise my valentine this year ;)

Nice

How do you end it?

I want a ball bearing

if you got whacked upside the head with a 1/4 lb steel ball-bearing on the end of a high-tensile strength nylon whip, would you get it then? ;-)

I want to make this with two colors how long would you recommend color 1 the color that comes out our the monkeys fist to be and how long should color 2 the color in the four strand round brad be *****

I'm having problems with my two cords that I fuse together is coming apart and you tell me what I'm doing wrong

So it is essentially a double under and over...kewl

How do you tie them off at the end?

Rawrrslol there's a ballbearing inside that big round para cord ball

Practice, learn how much you need to leave out one side. And how long it will make the braid.

so confused

??

Still ain't got the hang of it lol

Ugh. Still comes out a flat braid. Thanks anyway.

This is so unclair
