I did the same thing with my daughter's scout Belt 2 years ago… she hated the extra length that was between the belt loops…. So I made her an extra "loop" to put the end of the belt through to hold it in place…. Cobra knots are so useful 😊😊😊

I love the prusik hitch….

Just discovered your channel and immediately knew it was for me! To abuse a popular maxim, “to a man with a box of paracord, every problem looks like an opportunity for cord weaving and knotting.” Or something like that. Anyway I’ve got a lot of dangly straps that need paracord cobra keepers.

@iliketurtles4463 3 месяца назад

Great idea, Ive got a few old 5.11 packs that have knackered elastic retainers, I like to roll the excess webbing and tuck the whole roll into the elastic so I am hard on them. I had been thinking of simply sewing some fresh elastics on but will try some cord first, cheers.

@TheWeaversofEternity 3 месяца назад

Sewing would be a great and more permanent option for sure, but the paracord would be a lot quicker and easier. Hope it works out either way! Thanks for the comment

@JohnFourtyTwo Месяц назад

My packs from Sandpiper of California came with the excess already rolled/folded up and tucked under the elastic and I’ve been using that technique for years 👍

@noahjones4237 3 месяца назад

I wear a body harness at my place of employment, same issue with crap Elastic bands, tried using Electrical tape, since the straps on my harness didn't really need regular adjustment. That too, wore loose over time. Definitely gonna give this a whirl whenever I find some paracord!

Great stuff thx!! I never thought of this one. I made use of a "soft shackle" when my umbrella had a breakdown recently, and remained half open bcoz well... It's old. And two times the paracord from deployable bracelets fixed broken bags, that breaks when u step off the bus. (Sharp edges from other packages cuts through plastic) Anyway, great upload thx!!

@TheWeaversofEternity 3 месяца назад

@JimmyNewCakes 2 месяца назад

The excess on straps is meant to be folded on itself 3-4 times before going under the elastic band. This keeps it short, tidy, and snug. The trick is learning how tight to fold the strap. Too tight and you end up with too much material under the elastic. Too loose and you end up with a mess of strap that looks like you haven't used an elastic keeper at all. I've run so many military packs over the years and these always have absurd lengths of straps, as they usually make sure they have and adjustment range to fit on the smallest soldier without body armor right on up to the largest soldier with body armor. Efficiently rolling the straps is critical to having your equipment stay looking tidy, though most will just end up using tape in the end once they've got a "set and forget" length dialed in...

Based on other comments that I've seen you're supposed to roll up the excess and then use webbing/elastic to keep it bundled against the strap.

@erraddict 3 месяца назад

@TheWeaversofEternity 3 месяца назад

When you snip, melt, and press down on the melted ends the molten plastic sticks the end of the cord to the surrounding area and keeps it secure. But you do have to melt it enough so that it does this.

And when you want to adjust it, you always have to sort it out and afterwards fold it back in. I have the strap (put it to various bags/pouches) and folding it nicely is always pissing me off. Staying folded out, flat and put would be it. Will definitely try this out.
