What is a Paracord?
But wait, what is a paracord though?
It is a cord that is often used to serve as the parachute’s suspension line, also called as 550 cord or parachute cord. This strong nylon rope can be used to a lot of things, you can use it for survival, accessory, for climbing support, and many more. It is a utility cord that is often used by civilians who are always on an adventure and by the military personnel.
How to Make Your Own Paracord Dog Leash Cord?
There are a lot of different kinds of knot that you can use to create your own dog leash, but in here I will only teach you one of the simplest knots and that is the snake knot so that you can immediately create your own homemade a leash.
Here are three different kinds of knots that you could also try aside from the snake knot:
1. Jagged Ladder Knot
It is a sturdy compact way of weaving, but it isn’t bulky. Using this knot to make a dog leach can be good.
2. Oat Spike
This is a simple flat knot but is sturdy enough to not break. It has a good style in it and it is perfect to be used as a dog leash for big dogs.
3. Thin Solomon Bar
As the name says, it is quite a thin knot but still sturdy enough to be used as a dog leash. This knot is good for small dogs if you want to use this as a dog leash.
And that’s it! Now here’s what you’ll need in making your snake knot paracord dog leash:
Things you’ll need:
- Scissors
- Paracord – Depending on the length of the cord you’ll need about 20 feet of paracord to make a foot long leash. If you want a longer leash then you can at least use 40 feet of paracord to create a 2-foot long leash.
- Lighter- This you seal or singe the ends of the cord to avoid the nylon cord from splitting.
- Dog Leash Clip- and of course, the clip. You can use whatever kind of clip that you prefer. Anything is fine.
And for the procedure, you can watch how to make a paracord dog leash snake knot so that you can hear and see the procedures to make it easier for you on how to make them.
