What's holding your pants up?

And EDIT your posts taking out the advertising, before it's done for you.
Thank you.
Noted again
If you were wearing pants that fit then why would you have a belt on?....,Quote:

Where are you going to carry your knife when you take apart the belt?:confused:
I won't need the 100' of cord, so I'll tie a few small pieces of cord to two of the belt loops. :D
I'm slow but I'm catching on.:DQuote:

Great step by step with pic's and directions.
Ok, I've looked and haven't been able to find it, so I'm asking. Does anyone know how to make the wide version of this bracelet?

Chiya - You can also look for a "King Cobra" weave. It will double the width of the standard bracelet, which is usually a "Cobra" weave.
Thanks guys, I couldn't remember the name of the knot.
Or you could always throw together a rifle sling like I did
Very nice work dezertdude - very nice. How about after you do an introduction here you post an instructional on how you made it. Thanks.
Thanks. I used almost 80 feet of 550 cord to make it. The finished length is 33 inches and about 1 1/4 inches wide. I used a single strand weave I found on Instructables posted there by stormdrain. Here is a link
http://www.instructables.com/id/Wove...eletwatchband/
I increased the number of strands from three as shown in the link to seven to get the extra width I needed. Instead of one outer and one inner strands I used two outer and three inner. The thing about this weave is that you have to weave the entire cord through on each pass in this case that was almost 60 feet after about 20 feet were used for the strands running lengthwise. This weave is really flexible and not near as hard and stiff as the other paracord weaves you usually see. If your interested go to the link and you'll get what I mean. :drunk:
