I got tired of having lanyards that didn't fit right and a lot of the ones at sporing goods stores all look alike and I think you have to be 6'6" and 300lbs for them not to dunk your calls in the water when you are in the decoys. So I decided to make my own out of 55 paracord and do it how I wanted it. I think it turned out pretty well for my first one. I will add a couple of more drops as season gets closer.

That four strand braid is an absolute pain in the butt! But it is something different from anyone else I hunt with. I wish I could find a scale that was a close estimate to how much paracord is needed for certain braids over specific lengths. Any suggestions?

I just winged it and then kept a journal as I figured it out.
in other words i know 120 inches of one type leather in a certain braid yelds me exactly 12 inches of finished knot.....so with the material I use it is 10 inches of material for 1 inch of knot.
