Not for fast moving boats or inclement water, but what do people think?


I put paracord lanyards on almost everything (pocket knife, lighter,..) with a small pear shaped carabiner on the end to attach it to the larger 'beaner secured to my belt.

For my knife I can clip it's small 'beaner to the split ring on the end of the knife to make a wrist loop should I need. So I can use the knife while it's secured to my belt or my wrist if I need longer reach.

Also makes it easier to pull it out of my pocket.

The three little 'beaners that hang from the big one on my belt have little tactile markers on them so I can tell which one I'm grabbing without looking.

1) Lighter has a knot on the 'beaner end of the lanyard
2) Inova light has a rubberband wrapped around the 'beaner shaft.
3) pocket knife is attached to a braided paracord.
