parachute cord

[ridestreet84]

hey all due to to my unfound new levels of bordom i have decided to see what i can make out of this stuff. for those of you who dont know what it is, it is a cord with 7 internal strands and a nylon outer sheath very useful for camping and since i work in a place with a abundance of the stuff i am trying to have some fun with it. so throw those ideas out maybee a couple how to's also, i am in a remote location thanks to the air force and i am trying to keep myself from losing my mind thanks all

make me a necklace, i'll come to GF to pick it up some day if you're still in the area!

[ridestreet84]

[Schister66]

where are you now?? Out in the woods somewhere??? ........jk i hope not because that would suck, but at least you arent in hell (Iraq)

[ridestreet84]

tie up the locals ?

[Schister66]

make a hammock and tie it to a tree on the beach and take a nap.....

hey, thats a pretty cool idea, hammocks are super comfy. i want a hammock....

[Schister66]

also you could try to make one of those Mexican basket chairs that you hang from something.....idk what they're called offhand...

How long are you stuck there and how long have you been there so far??

[ridestreet84]

those all sound like a good idea i might try the hammock one but im not sure how hard that would be. i have been here for over a week and im going to be here for another 50 or so days

Tie 50 knots in it. Then untie one knot per day until your 50 days are up and you can get on with life. When you get down to 5 knots practice your 1000 yard stare and tell people you've been in the bush too long and have seen too much.

Boring I know but at least you'll know how much time you've got to go.

[ridestreet84]

i know how much time i have because i have hash marks on my hat i need to figure something that would keep me occupied for a while since i tend to cause mischief when i am bored i am going to try and make a hammock i just have to find 2 boards and 2 rings which might be hard here where i am

[Schister66]

you could go make some nunchucks....go get some sticks and tie them together and practice your kung fu!

find a parachute that is missing a cord and make one for it.
