So Many KNOTS! Ranger Bead Pace Counter | HOW TO MAKE 

In Ranger School my pace cord was a simple bootlace tied to my jungle fatigue top button hole about 14 inches. I would tie an overhand knot for every kilometer if I was the pace man. Would have used this if I had it. It was 1973.

Instead of a double snake knot, I used a diamond knot between sections and the end because it's more symmetrical but for the beads I used the same knot you described. That's a nice torch you're using. I finally got tired of burning my thumb with a regular Bic lighter and got the grilling lighter instead that has a pistol grip and no more burned thumb. I use regular scissors to cut the ends and leave a scissor blade thickness left to melt which turns out to be the right amount, most of the time I can get a nice dome effect when I melt the ends. Found out real quick that you don't have to get too close to melt the ends, about an inch or two away is just right without damaging anything else. After I'm done, I'll quickly put direct flame over the entire project for about a second or two just to set everything in place. It doesn't damage anything, just melts the micro threads from any abrasions while working the paracord.

Thanks! I will be making a few for my Dad's boat to keep count of are fish. Very cool knot.

I created one of these for a friend to use as a stroke counter in golf. Cool design. Thanks.

Saw this yesterday. Made one today while avoiding the freezing cold. Thanks for the video.

Best ranger bead method and demo. I finally got it right after your guidance. Thanks.

I literally made almost this exact thing two weeks ago after watching your video on the Celtic ranger knot bracelet lol

This is really cool thanks 😊 Reminds me of a tutorial I did on my channel on beading a Rosary 📿

I've got paracord sitting around and waiting for a project, so I'll use it for this.

These beads look sick on my red&cream nunchucks' string. Definitely tricky to cinch up at first, but don't give up and you'll be armed with a neat decorative knot.

Muy bueno el vídeo, bien explicado los pasos 🎉

i was working on a different project and decided to wstch this, not mad

i waited for this one such a loooooooooong timeeee

Thank you!

Could be modified into a simple rosary as well.

I like it!

Basically, that’s super cool

That is awesome

107cm Do you mean all beads right?

2mm cord as beads you could make a rosary. 😲🖒🖒

Ranger beads are used to remember how many times Jody has hit a POW

I've already made mine months ago! Only I ADDED two more beads! To both where they were 4, on mine there's 5, and where there's 9, mine has 10! Plus I made an EXTRA 5 beads, incase I needed more counters, when walking a very long trail! Only I used, when first making it?! The "Diamond knot!"

Anyone recommend how long to cut the paracord for each bead?

How do you know if you traveled 100 meters or miles?

Neat. Yow

🔥💕👍

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽

You need 5 beads on each side

He sayed rinse and repeat..lol

Rangers don't call them ranger beads. We call it a pace counter

I get a feeling they don't actually use this...

Investing in *cryptocurrency* now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.......BE WISE..

Can you make one in freedom units for the Americans? Lol

Awesome! Definitely gonna make one!
