Paracord Dog Leash

[ParaManAR15]

An ex-coworker ordered 4 leashes a while back but I didn't have one of the colors to make the 4th. Then I started having to travel with my job and it got put on the back burner. I'm down in OKC right now for work and I stopped by a military surplus store picked up some paracord, grabbed a clasp and lighter from home depot and made this 6 ft. black and bright green leash. Just hanging out in the hotel at night anyways so why not.

That's great! I need to learn how to make one of those.

This is cool! I'm afraid my beagel pup would chew through it though!

I second the concern. Is it "anti-chewable"? If so, I'd love to have one too =)

Very cool!

That is sweet! I need to learn how to braid that stuff.

I bought the stuff to do a similar leash and a collar, but have not done it yet. That's very nice work, though.

Paracord is made of nylon so dogs are able to chew through it. Puppies have those sharp little teeth and like to chew so it probably wouldn't take long to get through it. I've made at least a dozen of them and no one has said anything about their dogs chewing them up. My dog doesn't chew on his leashes, only his toys so I don't have any experience with it.

Pretty cool. Me and my buddy were just talking about trying to make a sling for my Carbine.

I found a ton of good how to videos on youtube. I've made some bracelets and lanyards, and after you do a couple, it gets a lot easier. I've seen a few rifle sling videos.

It's not hard to make. It'll just be very time consuming and take lots of cord. For a regular cobra weave you can guesstimate about 1 foot of cord for every inch.

If you need any help with anything just let me know.

How many feet did it take to make what I'm assuming is about 4' of lead?

Very cool! Like the colors. Would help with visibility at night.
