New Glow In The Dark Paracord Bracelet

[Adam Savage]

Just finished messing about with more paracord, and decided to have a go at bi-colour examples. Took a little fiddling around, but only because I didn't look on the net for advice :).
Went with glow in the dark 550 and standard OD 550. This time I decided to keep the centre strands in, as they could come in handy, in a survival situation.

Well done buddy. I can see loads of applications for that.

Is it the cobra weave pattern?

I've been after some GITD paracord, about half a meter for ages, can you tell me where you got it from please.

Thanks mate. It is indeed a cobra weave, also known as a Soloman bar.
I bought around 50 feet of the cord a while back, from eBay, but it looks like most of the sellers of it, are in the US now.

Here's a photo, with the lights on, so you can see it white and green, during daylight hours :)

Not quite the same but The Bushcraft Store sells a black and an olive paracord with grey reflective material in it...a bit like the ones on a hi viz vest. Actually they source their 550 from the States so it might be worth a 'contact us' email?

I had some a while back I bought off e bay I made a load of zip pulls, to sell, think it was about £7 for 15ft so its a bit pricey but if you have got a need for it its good stuff.

That looks cool :)

[Adam Savage]

Great stuff Basha. Liking the button compass straps and fobs. T^

I found it doesn't glow for very long, after the lights go out. Not sure if it's just the stuff I bought, or if all of it is like that. Mine had 9 strands in the centre too, rather than 7, which I thought was a bit odd lol.

[Basha72]

Yeah your right it glows ok just after being in light but soon after goes dull, but it still does the job in the pitch black when looking for where you can't you white light.

[Basha72]

here's another load of stuff I made during night shifts lol

It passes time really quick when you get on and do these, after the first few times you get a few blisters on your fingers from pulling tight but soon after the skin hardens, you can make these out of any string really if you want, but the purist only want paracord, on big projects like dog leads it becomes costly if you have not got a good source of paracord still expensive to import in big rolls !! i've been buying from HK 7 strand paracord on e bay, cant say i have any issues with it yet .

It's addictive isn't it lol. I have used Wilkos utility cord. Has seven strands, and you get 50 feet for £1 :). I have also made a huge collar/christmas wreathe, from the webbing you get with a hammock. Turns out nice n big, and has a bit of springy stretch to it.
