RE: Paracording - My new Hobby
Depends on the weave, but most knots use about 1 foot of paracord for each 1 Inch of the length of the knotted bracelet. 😁

This was one of my questions, especially since you mentioned the survival aspect of carrying around extra paracord on your wrist! So a regular para-bracelet has about 5 to 6 feet of paracord? But is it all together or are you using bits of different colors?
Hey @ecoinstant!
I´m really happy about your interest on the bracelets :D
Yeah, the "Standard knots" (like the simple cobra knot) use about 5-6 feet of Paracord- But there are a punch of knots using a whole lot more of Paracord ( up to 25 feet per Color - or even more) :)
In my future tutorials, I´ll try to give exact measurements for each weave.
If the Bracelet is multicolor, there are always bits of different colored Strands (sometimes fused by heat -> will show the technique in a tutorial).
When it´s fused, it´s not as reliable as it would be when its a single strand weave.
But most (if not all) single-color bracelets are made out of one strand of paracord.
So for the survival aspect I would recommend single-colored wide para-bracelets, because they have the most paracord in it and are
loadable because they´re seamless.
But just for the look I personally prefer the multicolored :)
Cheers!
I totally agree, you have some very exciting color combinations here! Thank you for the informative reply, with these things I always imagine I am Tom Hanks talking to a volleyball and trying to survive with my homemade bracelet.
