Boatman, When I was in the Marines a lot of the Navy guys I worked with made 550 cord key fobs. They were some sort of continuous weave/braid that ended up a little less than 1/2" square and as long as you wanted to make them. Do you have any idea what that weave/braid/knot is called? Seems like it might be a handy way of keeping a few feet of 550 cord around.

TIA, Ed

BTW I'm still waiting on the book to look into that other thing we talked about. I'll keep you posted
