MACGYVER MEETING #2: Paracord Fast Ropes

He learns paracord is tangle prone!
Was MacGyver OCD? Not hardly, but he did respect order. He always had duct tape and a Swiss Army Knife neatly tucked away to get out of any tricky situation. It would kind of ruin his flow and timing if he didn't know where everything was for immediate use. I'll bet he had that pin he used to stop a bomb detonator stuck in the tweezer hole of his Swiss Army Knife. He knew just where it was. He would have loved paracord ; ten bucks to the kid who finds a MacGyver episode or movie with proof he used paracord way back when.




Figure eights on your fingers make it happen

It's the Japanese Samurai who made an art of winding up and quickly whipping out a strong, thin cord as a means of prisoner restraint. They stored the cord up their sleeves as a bundled fast rope or around the sheaths of their Samuri swords.

As far as the MacGyver club members are concerned it is a great way to store paracord then deploy it without knots to work on projects. Other people like paracord for a number of reasons, but tangled paracord can be a bummer.

They most assuredly are magic, come see!

The anchor knot in the cord is the newest innovation in the fast rope. Pull the cord bundle by the knot as fast as you can and it's a done deal, you're ready to create!
