I am in no way affiliated with the Survival Straps company, just a satisfied customer.

I recently discovered this company called http://www.SurvivalStraps.com, they make items such as bracelets, lanyards and dog collars etc. out of military spec paracord. I think it is a great accessory to whatever adventure you choose to go on including your trips to the range and thought i'd share it with everyone on the forum. You can order it in whatever color you want and if you use it, they will send you a new one to replace it absolutely free! Their customer service is great. You can even support our military when you purchase something from Survival Straps which I think is awesome.

Thanks

you can actually make these yourself fairly easily - like a little camp project. how-to instructions are all over the net, YouTube etc. And paracord is good to keep on hand anyway, so why not order a few hundred feet of it.

Got a couple of rolls of "555" in my garage and make a variety of such things for myself.

All it takes is a basic macrame knot (half hitch) and your choice of clasp. We've got a soldier in the 39th (TxSG) who'll make one for you while you wait, if you ask him nicely.

Quick Google search reveals its a Solomon Bar knot. Here is two references:
