thanks for the info, i wasnt using paracord, i was to cheap to go out and buy it but this weekend i will definately go out and buy some, thanks again.......
I have looked with not much success for a company that sells paracord by the foot or in small increments. Does anyone know of a place that you can pick it up without buying it in 50 to 100 foot amounts? Thanks
Sometimes you gotta kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.

I think I remember seeing it somewhere where you can buy 3 or 5 foot lengths but I didn't see any point. Price is minimal for 100 foot quantities.
I just wanted to play around and try to make a few lanyards. I didn't figure I would need 100 feet to fool around with. I did buy 100 of black from County Comm though.

Even when I am in a retail store that sells by the foot, I usually buy 100 to 200 feet at a time. But then, my hatband used up a little over 30' in one shot.
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.
here is a lanyard that darkfin made a few months ago . sorry darkfin my wife cleared the card for our camera and the pic was put in with 1000 other pics but here it is.

Wow!!! and I mean Wow!!! These lanyards you guys tie never cease to amaze me...I know I started this thread and can't tie a knot to save my life....that being said the lanyards shown are very inspirational and I see a lot of new people trying their hand (pun intended) at it. I'm glad that this thread has blossomed into something more than just the original question I posted, maybe someday even I'll give it a try....Doc :D

Thanks Dr. Snubnose for starting all this. Here is one I just made that has a nice rust color with a dark pony bead. Core is a round piece of flint so you can use it as a kubaton or a survival fire starter.

If I am not mistaken I think you might be referring to these.
eschmunk, yes that is exactly what I'm looking for. I've searched but cannot find a U.S. reseller. I did see someone had some for sale on a web/blog site but cannot find it now.

Ouch,
Check your PM, I have found a source for you but don't know whether I can post it here.
Question to the lanyard makers out there
