Paracord’s popularity has taken it everywhere from keychains to dog collars. It’s also a must-have resource for any go bag, survivalist, or farmer. Whether you’re using it to tie feed buckets to a cattle panel or are using it for a tourniquet, there are a lot of fun things you can do with paracord as well.
Here are just a few ideas:
Paracord Secret Compartment
This hidden gem can tie onto your keychain or be thrown into the glove box, yet no one will know there’s something hidden inside. It’s just the perfect size for you to stash some money for an emergency. http://prepperzine.com/101-paracord-projects/
Fishing Lure
Cut the end of your paracord and gently unravel it. You’ll soon have a flared out tuff that can be thrown in with your fishing tackle. Anybody can handle this one! http://prepperzine.com/101-paracord-projects/
Make a Koozie
This one is fun to work on with the kids, or you can use it to carry a few cans on the outside of your pack. Blend a couple of different colors to show your team spirit, or go with camo green to avoid drawing too much attention. http://prepperzine.com/101-paracord-projects/
Protect Your Phone Cable
Are you tired of your phone charging cable breaking right in the middle of the cord? Weave your paracord around it like you would a bracelet, and it will stand up to just about anything. http://prepperzine.com/101-paracord-projects/
DIY Snow Shoes
Not everyone keeps a pair of snow shoes on hand, but if you’re used to the blistery cold weather, you know how important these accessories are. Consider using leftover wood or even branches to weave your own.
Or, just use paracord around your existing tennis shoes to add snow grips to the bottom. http://prepperzine.com/101-paracord-projects/
Make an Emergency Escape Ladder
Need an easy-to-store emergency ladder for possible fire evacuations? Purchase some heavy duty dowel rods at the lumber store and use paranoid to create your own roll-away escape ladder. http://prepperzine.com/101-paracord-projects/
Paracord Flip Flops
Homemade shoes can come in pretty handy in the event of an emergency. With paracord, you can come up with your own custom made flip flops. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYP42RzIsuo
Homemade Rifle Sling
Why purchase an expensive leather or nylon rifle sling when you could make your own? It’s the perfect accessory for the hunter in your family. https://survivallife.com/36-paracord-projects-preppers/
A Hanging Pallet Chair
If you hadn’t noticed, wooden pallets are all of the rage right now. While they’re often used for something Pinterest-y, you might not have thought about using them for a hanging chair. Just use the paracord to weave in and out of the panels to make a comfortable seat that you can hang anywhere you want. https://survivallife.com/36-paracord-projects-preppers/
Or, make a hammock out of it instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjhDVnXMTP0
Hanging Planters
Want to spruce up the back porch? Use paracord in various colors to create custom-sized hangers for your potted plants. http://hative.com/paracord-projects/
Camera Strap
Spruce up your camera with a custom strap…just make it the same way you would a belt, bracelet, rifle sling, or guitar strap. http://hative.com/paracord-projects/
