Paracord lanyard?

[hungNtree]

Anyone ever make your own paracord lanyard? It's a project Ive been thinking of for a while and just never started.

Just curious,

Ive made a few. with and without braiding. I found that the braiding can add uneeded weight if you do the whole thing. but braiding just the part that goes around the back of your neck is ok. I use beads and large and medium swivel clips. also a set of simple name badge re-tractors for light but constantly used items, the tippit is hung in the center on a peg and wood stopper. i'll did mine out and take some photos for you.

Is it just a coincidence your name is hungNtree?

I made one about 18 '' long and hang it from my wader suspenders with small D rings. Not hard to make at all. Also have one that loops over the neck but prefer the other. Just Google Paracord lanyard.

A friend make me one from a leather cord, which broke, I replaced that with a boot lace which works great and is adjustable. You could braid, crochet the area at the back of your neck with paracord which would make it more comfortable. Use buckle that will release and won't leave you hung in tree.

Yep, I have made several. Nice thing with DIY is that you can customize to meet your needs. There are some interesting designs at natureboydesigns.com and then if you google "paracord lanyard", you'll find many more and instructions for various knots and weaves.

I made a very short, cobra weave lanyard (about 6") with 4 clips which I attach to my hip pack in horizontal fashion. I've got a separate neck piece that I can attach it too and use it as neck lanyard when I want to go lighter.

Well, be sure to build in one of those release gizmos so your name doesn't take on a more sinister meaning

I carry about 15' of parachute cord in the back of my fishing vest ... does that count?

I made mine from a leather boot lace. Tried several different configurations and settled on black snap swivels with cheap wooden beads for spacing. I used overlapping knots to make the length adjustable. For looks, I strung some of the beads on the back-of-the-neck area and as an unintended bonus, they keep my neck cooler in the summer months.
