I've been into knots and paracord for years and your channel is the first innovative breath of fresh air the hobby has had in a very long time, since maybe animatedknots. Keep up the great work.

Someone may have already commented this but make sure you use heat-shrink with adhesive lining. Not all heat-shrink tubing has adhesive inside and the cord will just slip right out after heating.

Used this method the other day for a wallet "chain". I pulled both sides back through to the same hole and out the middle, put a stitch in the 2 inner ends and pull them back inside. Works perfectly, eye splice on both ends.

when doing the heat shrink, I've had good luck with putting liquid electrical tape under the heat shrink. The liquid electrical tape pernitrates into the fibers and connects very well with the head shrink making it a ever stronger bond. Good video, I'll use this.

Great innovation using a bike chain connector for holding keys.

I really like the use of the chain link, looks great and keeps the keys tight. Great for a guy like me that hates big bundles of keys.

Wow, amazing. As I was watching you pull a single strand of the inner cord out, I bet a fine tip crochet hook would another tool that you can use. There are ones designed for lace making and a size close to 2.5 mm might do the trick as if has a hooked end to it. Thanks for sharing your well thought out, easy to follow video.

I've been blazing dabs with that same torch for 2 years. Best torch I've ever owned.

I’m a new subscriber-absolutely LOVE this channel!!! You’re such a great teacher, breaking down every step to where anyone can follow along. Thank you for your contribution! I love the slingshot video, btw!!

FYI I’ve also been able to create a locked Brummell splice in some gutted paracord. It doesn’t work as well with extremely tight sheath weaves, but paracord varies. The Brummell allows a solid, self locked splice without having to access the other end.

Awesome job. Instead of heat shrink, terminating that working end with a common whipping or a nail knot from a 550 gut also works awesome.

I use nail varnish glue to secure paracord joints, It makes a very strong joint when you put one end inside the other. You only need a tiny drop, it goes rigid in one second! It's also a good alternative to melting cut ends.

Не уверен, что когда-нибудь потребуется, но с огромным интересом посмотрел!! Благодарю!!:) Awesome!! Thanks a lot!! 👍🏻

Good information. I am going to use this to add some para cord to my backpack for tying things on.

Most definitely gonna use this... just let me say my wife is mad because I can't stop watching your channel and we're supposed to be watching a movie together🤣 great tips keep em coming

I can’t stop binge-watching you, man. Thanks for the clear and concise lessons. You’ve got my sub.

So dang cool!! Thank you for demonstrating this technique. Awesome! 👏 👏👏

Well done, performing marline spike splice work on paracord. It's refreshing to see someone working paracord that isn't just another braid or weave. I also appreciate that you are one of the few who have picked up on heat shrink tubing. I was thinking that you are sacrificing the strength of the inner strands for the splice, until it occurred to me that pulling something out allows room for something to take it's place. Wire could be fed through to make the whole assembly even stronger than the original. To keep the outer mantle from slipping while forming the loop the end fed back inside could be held tight to the wire with heat shrink tubing, like the tip of a shoe lace. Wire would make the whole thing stiffer, but that would be the trade off.

Paracord whipmaker here 👋 if you use a lacing needle you can make a eye splice in seconds

Thank you for a nice mix of entertainment and information. That is a good application for a master link.

Love the Chain Master Lock., Super Cool.

This man is a knot and paracord wizard

You can do the same thing in a fraction of the time with a parachute riggers finger trap tool made out of piano wire... or an old guitar string. You can trap both ends, no need for the shrink wrap.

👍🏻🇨🇦. It’s 3:55am here in Toronto. Let me get some now. Lol.

That is a very cool and informative video tutorial. Thank you I will earmark this video for future reference.

Inner strands are 2 smaller strands "twisted" together, the outer sheath is "woven". Love your using a bike chain master link for a key keeper, ellagent.

Very clever. Thanks for the video.

Along with the Brummell splice others have mentioned, look into lacing needles, they would make this simpler.

I never thought about using heat shrink tubing for this. Such a good idea!

great video! what is the claw gadget???!

Wow, what a wicked, extremely cool idea 😮😎💪👌👍🔥 Thanks for your super great tutorial 💪👌👍🔥😎

What’s that spring loaded clamp called?

Alright that torch looks amazing. Just bought one thru your Amazon link.

When I was a kid I saw this old guy take a piece of 550 cord and poke a hole through it with a marlin spike. He passed end A through the hole (all the way through the cord). Then he put a hole through end A and passed end B through it. Repeat a few times and the two ends are woven through each other. Locks absolutely tight and doesn't lose the center cords so it maintains its strength. Doesn't look as nice though.

Now I want a torch like that.

5:45 "So there's our completed eye splice." Hmm, that jacket is rated at 305 pounds of normal 550, so I guess it's fairly strong without the 7 dual strands which rate at 35# each. So much for watching this vid to learn knotting skills. ;)

Outstanding video! Very innovative technique.

Wow. Great video! This is my third or fourth of your vids that I think are outstanding. You've definitely earned another sub here!

Is there any way if doing this without compromising the structural integrity of the paracord? i.e. not gutting it?

Nice trick on the loop side, I use dental tread to tie the other end before I put the shrink tape.

In the first part of your video you mention "figuring out a way to terminate the other side"... Just a theory, but I think given you have now added a "core" to the full length of the cord, you have essentially created a "double braided" paracord. You could in theory do your second end's eye splice in the manner you would in and double braided nylon rope and regain some of the strength lost by removing the core fibres. Just an idea.

Excellent walkthrough. Subscribed.

micro cord whipping knots are awesome terminations.

Thats why he teaches knots. They are luch more easy

Look into parachute riggers finger trap tools. We make them out of music wire and it makes doing exactly this a million times easier and allows you to finger trap really small diameter cords like HMA and Vectran 🤘

Good instructions , thanks for sharing , God bless !

You poked my heart...

What is the spring loaded clip called used in this example?

thumbs up and subscribed.... came to ask about the torch and saw it in the description...instasubscribed 😀

Brilliant, just brilliant

Nice video, thanks :)

Awesome! I’m going to try this myself.

For the method of adding an eye splice in both ends. If you’re working with a much longerer paracord, lets say 3 meter. Is the loop still gonna be in the middle? And the strands also the same?

Use the heat shrink tube with glue in it

What is the tensile breaking strength of just the paracord sleeve? I can see many uses if it can still hold a decent amount of weight.

4:45 does it works with 10m long piece of rope?? I think, friction inside of 10m long rope does not allow to pull singe core thread through

So very cool!!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

GREAT IDEA.

What is that silver piece you put on both of them?

If you don't have an SD card tool, a paper clip works as well.

Great video, thanks

Great stuff

dang, that is really slick... thanks man!

That is VERY clever!!!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Keep it going

You can also use a 16P Nail in place of the Marlin Spike…Really inexpensive solution.

I would think a .60 or .75 crochet hook would work just as well to grab only one strand.

Really well done. Thank you.

Bravo! This is a very cool technique and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing!! Can you tell me the brand of that torch?

thank you for this !

Hello, this is a very informative and cool video. Question; what type of video camera are you using to record your videos? Thanks!

You should try some Sten diamond braid starter cord. Next level.

I couldn’t afford decent climbing gear, but I saw this and thought, what the heck huh? I’ll let you know how things turn out Monday

geniallllll---- gracias x compartir.. saludos desde españa

I think it is only a fraction of his Orginal strength left. 🤔

Wont this make for a much weaker chord?

Should have a warning on this... compromised cord shouldn't be used if personal safety is involved.... for cosmetics only

What is the slip string is yellow?

Doesnt the paracord lose its strength with the center cords removed?

If heat shrink is good enough for one end, why didn't you use it for both ends?

Ok so this is so sick. I’m gonna make a ton of these but bc I value your skill so much, just out of curiosity, what knot would you do around the key if you didn’t want to do a heat shrink or additional eye splice? Thanks again! 🪢

Me gustó tu canal amigo. Te ganaste un suscriptor nuevos! I liked your channel friend, you gained a new subscriber. 👍

Ok , I can't see it in comments, but what is the metal double hook Thingy ?

can you use the extra string instead of the head shrink I just want to know if it would be strong enough

EXCELENTE, man! Very cool!

Can you do a video on the best knots for Dyneema-type cordage? 0.8mm to 3mm specifically?

This technik its used to fishing with leadcore too

Bear can coin ftw!

How much strenght have you lost by removing the inner nylon strands?

Hello first time watching your video and a subscribed afterwards. Like it and I will be watching more of your post. Can you pls tell me what’s the make an model of that handheld torch that you are using and where I can get one. Thanks!!

Where do I find a little torch like that? That's nice! Allowed you to set it down to work with both hands too.

What is that mechanism at the top right that appears to be spring loaded at 4:47

Ok where do you get those key link things with the circlip

What is that intriguing device you have laced into the splice?

Where did you get your Marlin Spike?

You have to show the string that you pulled. Why are you only showing the other side through editing?

what if you dont want to gut the sheath?

Where did you get that Marlin Spike? I would love to have a better one and that looks like a good size.

Love the channel and the videos. Question for you: What can I find the individual links (looks like bike chain) for the closure on the keys? I would like to get a few of those for various projects and ideas of my own. Thank you.

Excellent. Thanks, peace
