        georgia here's a recipe for folks. We're going to try it this week.
        Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

            Thats why my belt is made of para cord so i always have a large supply. 38' waist so a 42" belt braded into a double cobra knot with 2 strands down the middle so it is a little thicker.

            What you are, I once was. What I am, you will become.

              Now that's clever FeloDeSe. I'll have to look up how to braid one like that.

                  Double Cobra Knot Paracord Belt: My husband used to wear braided leather belts, but had trouble with them wearing out after only a few months. He tried a solid leather belt, but was unhappy with the rigidity. In searching for a solution for him, I came across Jake22's instructable …


                  This is how I made mine. I just added another strand in each side down the middle for more paracord.

                    What do you do for a belt when you need to use the paracord?

                        Keep one strand to hold up your pants

                                Good idea blue!

                                I use grocery bags for lint but this makes it better and easier to store. Thanks!
