OK I just thought of something that maybe useful to the people on this fourm . I took 25 feet of para cord cut it into 8 equal lenghts and braided them together. All I have to do now it melt the two end, and put on a belt buckle. What do you guy think?

is that the right URL... its a dead link

Dang it! Yep it's the right link, but appears to be down. It's been working for some time until now.

Oh well, I'll edit my post, and check it again next week. Maybe the server is down.

Yep, the link is dead since a few weeks, at least.
His design was a good idea.


Another "place" where, using Slatt's braid design, you can keep some length of paracord, is around your hat, if you have one.

If the paracord is for use for survival situation, I think that it is better not to braid it as it requires a lot of strength to unbraid it.

The Slatt's knot was basically a loop chain held together at the end with a bolt/pin. Once the pin is pulled, the rope would unravel easily. I thought I had a copy of the instructions somewhere, but I haven'y found it yet. I'll share it if I find it.

Damned !

I too was sure I had saved Slatt's page somewhere, on one of my PCs, either at home or at the office, but I'm unable to find it again .......
I will post it if I can find it ....
