kevingg Addict Registered: 10/21/05 Posts: 442 Loc: NH	Here's a little sequence showing how I make a round core of jute that is tight and somewhat water resistant; and can serve as emergency tinder in my monkey's fist zipper pulls. Pic quality is lower than normal due to lack of proper camera availability! _________________________ http://www.paracordist.com http://www.facebook.com/Paracordist http://www.youtube.com/user/kevingg2000 Follow me on Twitter @Paracordist
