Watch : I . N . O . X . Carbon Limited Edition , ($ 995 ) didn ’ t want to kill and eat a turtle , so I unhooked him and let him go .
In a similar scenario , I ended up tying the paracord to a small piece of fishing line that I had in a little survival kit . This extended my fishing line , so I could drop it over a small , overhanging cliff . And it gave me extra length to use my fishing line and allowed me to successfully catch dinner .
SITUATION 2 : SOMEONE LEFT ME IN CHARGE OF THE TENT AND I LEFT IT AT HOME . CAN I MAKE A SHELTER ?
This is where a paracord is one of the handiest things , and one of the things I ’ ve used the most . Even with traditional camping , if something on your tent breaks , or one of the lines snaps , you can easily replace it . In the woods , in a survival context , you can use it to secure the middle portion of an A-frame type shelter . You can also use a paracord between two trees to
create a tent if you have an emergency blanket or some kind of tarp . You can secure a stick across the tensed cord to support more weight . Picture the way a tent looks , with the middle beam being secured between two trees . Lean trees and branches against it and cover it with brush - that will help keep your body heat inside .
SITUATION 3 : I ’ VE GOT A BIG HUNK OF BEEF JERKY IN MY TEETH . WILL THIS HELP ?
I wouldn ’ t recommend using this as dental floss , unless you ’ re planning on skipping every other tooth .
SITUATION 4 : I REALLY LOVE HAMMOCKS .
I ’ ve probably used paracord 50 times to tie up my hammock . Because paracord is so light and packs up so small , that ’ s the cord I use to hang my hammock . You ’ ll want to put your weight onto the hammock slowly when it ’ s hung with paracord , but you will wake up above the ground .
SITUATION 5 : THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IS HERE . FREAK OUT !
Well first I ’ d use it as a “ tripwire ” around my survival compound , since most zombies I ’ ve seen lack coordination . That would trip them up into an optimal kill zone . Secondly I would use it for an emergency rappel system , since my days would be filled with zombie hunting and I wouldn ’ t want to get trapped on any rooftops .
