Overview

Paracord can be very useful stuff, especially in a survival situation. It can be woven into a strong band, gutted for the nylon strands inside, or even just used to tie things together. We want to see your great paracord ideas, so we're having a Paracord Contest!

To enter you must publish a new Instructable that involves paracord. It doesn't need to be the only thing in your Instructable, or even the biggest part, but the more interesting your use of paracord the better.

So, make a fantastic project and win a laser-etched Leatherman Juice along with an Instructables Prize Pack that includes a one-year Pro membership, and a Robot t-shirt!

This is a speed contest and will only be open for 2.5 weeks, so get to it! We can't wait to see what you'll make!
  First Prize
Leatherman Juice S2

Multiple entries are accepted, although each entrant can only win one prize. International entries are accepted.
