As a source of a "credit card" sized piece of plastic, if you're near a Wal-mart where there's a gas station using their shopping cards, you can often find them left on the pumps when people have used them. A nice way to recycle!

Great idea. I haven't shopped at Wal-marts in about a year and a half.

Why not wrap the two separately so that you don't have to unwrap the cord just to get at a little of the tape?

[Tom Alegar]

You could do that if you want. I just had the one card and wanted to keep everything in one pack.

One suggestion. When making the last wrap of duct tape on the card, lay a fresh craft knife blade(one of those reversable trapezoid shaped blades) on the card and wrap over it with the last layer of duct tape. Then you will always have a blade if you need to cut the paracord - or for any other use you might come up with.

Great idea, I also thought about perhaps doing that with a couple of fish hooks and adding some fishing line by wrapping it through the holes on the end of the card. Of course the inner strands of the paracord could be used for fishing line.
