How to carry multiple bottles using paracord

 Occasionally my wife and I buy bottled water in bulk for our son to drink in the car or at the park on hot days. It is convenient for making sure that he, and we, stay hydrated. But it can be a hassle to have a bunch of bottles rolling all over the car or smashing things in a bag. So I had some paracord lying around and put it to work keeping things together. 

Step 1: The Knot

 The running knot is simply an overhand knot with the working end pulled through to form and adjustable loop. This is the knot that is used to bind the bottles together.

A Clove Hitch would not work as well in this situation, the Clove Hitch would tend to stay tighter where this would be similar to a slip knot allowing easier access to the bottles. Great idea and cudos to the inventor.

Or you could just use a crapload of cove hitches

Looks like something you'd hang garlic with.

Nice I'able
I us ethis a whole lot,
If you juggle this is a very useful way to carry juggling clubs.
You can also tie the trailing end around your waist or shoulder for the handsfree experience.
Thanks for sharing

I hope the kiddies aren't reading this but whenever a couple of us used to go off fishing or rock climbing, this is how we'd tie off our beer only we'd drop our beer into the nearest, preferably deep, shaded, & cold area of a river, coastal waterway, or lake until we were back or taking a break. It was great to crack open a cold one underneath a shade tree and rest.

 I hadn't ever thought about doing this  before we bought a 24 back of 8oz bottled watter and they take up so much space and roll all over. I just wanted some way to keep them together in small groups to grab and go as well as keep them from ending up under the seats in the car. I did it once and realized that they kept together really well. Thanks for the kind words.
