I hope that it doesn't take a lot of energy to unbraid the belt to use the paracord.

It's really not a braid but a loop chain. Once the pin/bolt at the end is removed, the whole thing is supposed to simply unravel. However, I have not knotted this belt so I cannot vouch for hiw quickly it does unravel. Anyone try this? (I suspect one would be hard pressed to un-do it once he or she has spent the time to knot it <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

I began a belt with 10m of 3mm cord - I didn't come close to finishing a belt before I ran out of cord <img src="images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. you can really get a lot of cord into a belt.

As far as unraveling the belt goes, once the pin is out, you nedd very little force to unravel the "chain". you will have a whole lot of cord in only a few seconds if you decide you need to destroy your little masterpiece <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

What length of belt did 10m of cord produce?

I can't remember exactly. I have 32 inch waist, and the belt got about 2 thirds of the way around. remember that this is 3mm cord as opposed to 550lb (5 mm) paracord.

BTW, the wooden hook tool he fashioned reminds me of an extra large crochet hook I saw at Micheal's, a art * crafts supply store.
