Made these for a special request. They are based on my design for the alice pack handle; but a little larger. The loops used to attach via prussik knot are 5' long (using 11' of paracord each). Two per handle are required. I made a set of four for the jeep, so there is 88' of paracord just for attachment to the jeep's 3" roll bars!! The handles each use six 4' cords (about 25' of paracord per handle). So in total, this set of handles uses the better part of 200' of cord. The top two pics show the prussiks, passing through the handle's split braid loops, before engaging over the matthew walker knots with the sliding paracord bead. The rest of the pics show different views of the fully attached setup. I don't have a jeep; I struggled to find a 3" diameter to test the setup - until I found these columns in my basement. The dangling ends are intentional and add "character". Thanks for looking.

Not when you have daughters. Father = real man.
