I buy paracord in 1000' foot spools also.

Then for EDC I have a cobra braid key fob unbraided is about 22 feet.

For my hike kit I have a 75 foot length, a 25 foot length, a 6 foot, and a 3 foot with a frayed end. 75 and 25 for shelters etc. 6 foot for those handy little needs. the 3 foot for making bow for fire drill or I can get a inner strand for small projects. I find I use up my 3 footer quicker then I replace the 3 footers from the 6 foot length that is getting worn.The 6 and the 3 I call my working lengths. I also replace my boot laces with Paracord. My compass has a neck lanyard of just the outer sheath of paracord(no inner strands) with a quick disconnect so I don't get choked if tangled.

Depends on the kit. My truck kit has a 100' length; I'll cut from that length as the need arises. The kits I carry have a couple 20' lengths.

I keep one 100' length and a few assorted lengths that have been cut off over the years. Once I cut around half of my 100' section I put another 100' in my pack.

Yeah, others have asked for pictures as well. Let me see what I can do.

exactly what I intend to do with same of the 100feet bundles I recently bought.
I will just use Slatt's knot, instead of learning "crochet" ...

how long is the finished fob?

WOW! You folks sure do give a lot of options! Never imagined there are so many different possibilities for Mr. Paracord!

Now, I'm gonna have to git another 1000' and try all the suggestions......

Again, many thanks for all the responses!

I saw some posts on Slatt's knot last month. Because of the way the knots are laid out, it looks a bit more labor intensive than what I do. The crochet is pretty easy once the basic moves are learned. I can do 100 feet while watching a single DVD movie and it doesn't take much concious thought. Actually it's kind of soothing mechanical action. I can see why a lot of people knit or crochet.
