Paracord Boonie Hat Wrap

video Paracord Boonie Hat Wrap

This video will show one of many possible methods of adding paracord to the branch loops of a boonie hat. The paracord can be removed for later use if needed. More knotty stuff on my blog: Stormdrane's Blog

I like it!

Nice that there's no need for a clip of any kind - all you need is the cord. This won't fall off or blow off in any way, and no need to attach it with separate cords. And 6 min. plus is NOT too long to take while taking an "anti-freak-out" break to collect thoughts in an actual survival situation.

Your projects always have such a great look to them, and a simplicity that borders on elegance - congratulations on clearly conveying a simple project that could be as useful as it is nice to look at!

Carrying 30' of cord on a hat is a great idea, but your method makes it a pain in the [ ] to get the cord on or off of the hat. Show me a method to carry that much line on a hat that doesn't take 6:52 and I'll really be interested. Please don't take that the wrong way. I mean that as constructive criticism.

I like your other method better. This one I think I'd be wondering if the paracord was worth getting out of the hat. But, when it is, it's a great way to carry the cord. These things actually look good, too, which is a bonus.
