  1. Miss Stephanie, this is a neat idea and would like to try this but you failed to tell us how to terminate the loose ends and how to access the hidden stash within. With arthritis in would be nice to know how to do this rather than wear out my hands doing it wrong until I find the right way. Thank you and God bless for your information it is nice not to have to sift through a bunch of repetitive garbage just to find out you have to pay for the heart of the information.

  2. I find the instrustions good and descriptive but i wish she used diferent colored ropes so it would be easier to allow

  3. I’m guessing before you really start making this you should melt the ends so they don’t fray as you’re making the keychain. How long should you leave the ends once done? Will it untie at all with daily use? I’ll have to give this a try and find out, but it would be helpful if you could post a little more info about the ending of making it and how it works. I understand from an earlier post that you just don’t want to loosen it too much.

    More info would be great! Thanks!

  4. Looks great. I want to use an aluminum cigar tube with a lid. Ever tried that? Guessing I’ll need longer cord. How do you calculate length needed for six inches? Thanks.

  5. Made one last night. Kinda had to redo it. The more I drank the more the thing got screwed up… I think I created a new knot, lol. Anyrate it turned out pretty good. Thanks

  6. Would love this as a bracelet since it would be much easier to carry and access on my wrist in an emergency. Do you have a pattern for one? Thank you for all of your tips and hard work!

  7. Two things Stephanie,

    1. Can you make a repelling harness with paracord ?

    and

    2. Can you repel using paracord ?

    Thank you in advance for your attention.
