"...ankle bracelet..."
I did just that, made one sized to fit at the top of the "combat boots" I normally wear. Can't be seen, lots more paracord...

I replaced the shoe laces of my hunting boots with paracord. Seems to work just fine and is multi purpose JIC. I have seen that technique mentioned before. Thing is, if I'm in a situation where I need to scavenge 550 cord, I'd probably need to keep my boots on too.

Either way, I think I may know why they are single. What? you don't think girls will find a guy attractive if he is wearing a watch band, an ankle braclet, a belt and a sweater woven entirely out of para-cord? That's hilarious. My new 3-layer system for warmth: 1) Long sleeve athletic shirt 2) Paracord-woven "hoody" sweater 3) Gore-tex shell And of course, if my feet get cold, I'll put on my paracord beanie. Better go find myself a few quilting needles!

I decided to give this a try last night, took about 30 minutes (took longer as it was first time) to knock out an 8 inch braid, about 18-20 feet of paracord.
A little too long for a key chain, and I'm just not a bracelet kind of guy, but definitely some potential for other uses.
