I just attempted to make one. It's quite easy once you pick up the knack. I had 25ft of paracord and started to make a belt about 2 1/2 " wide. I only managed to make it about 6" long! This sure holds a lot of cord. I don't think that if I made a belt, I would use it. I had the idea of making a wallet sized section of this braid to carry in my back pocket. This way you would be able to carry a lot of cordage in a compact package and it would be easy to unravel without it getting tangled up. However I can think of what I could use as end pieces. In the end I thought I could just use another, short bit of paracord in a loop throught the end loops to stop it from unraveling. However I can't manage to make the sinnet anymore. i'm trying to make it on a pencil but it keep slipping off and getting twisted. Any ideas?
