Paracord Adjustable Trekking Pole Leashes

I have been building paracord structures since 1980. It is the duct-tape of the cord and string business, and widely considered one of The Worlds Most Useful Things.
This Instructable is for a ladder woven adjustable trekking pole leash, which I find a lot more practical than stock wrist straps. Stock straps can be wishy-washy and just plain cheap. Trekking poles can be an integral part of your equipment; they help lessen the impact on your feet and legs while hiking, especially on the descent, and improve your balance over rough ground. Paracord proves an attractive, sturdy and practical alternative to wriststraps.
This may very well be one of The Coolest Paracord Thingies ever built.
