Practical Paracord Projects: Survival Bracelets, Lanyards, Dog Leashes, and Other Cool Things You Can Make Yourself
Parachute cord, which is now universally known as paracord, is a lightweight nylon rope originally used by paratroopers during World War II. It is now employed as a general purpose utility cord by military personnel and civilians alike. Paracord is an ideal material for making whips, for example, due to its durability and flexibility. Hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts have made “survival bracelets” from paracord, which are meant to be unraveled when needed to secure cargo, lash together poles, and fix broken straps and laces. As more colors become available, crafters are discovering that paracord makes an excellent material for fun and stylish friendship bracelets, lanyards, belts, dog leases, key chains, and more.
Originating from Instructables, a popular project-based community made up of all sorts of people with a desire to pass on their wisdom to others, Practical Paracord Projects contains ideas from a number of authors who show just how easy it is to make virtually anything from paracord.

Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he has already made 4 things out of it in just 2 days.
He has watched YouTube videos on how to work with paracord, but sometimes it is easier to figure things out with the freeze frame photos to show the progress being made on the items.
Instructions are simple to follow.
I cannot wait to step things up and have him build me the chair!!!!

Okay collection of Instructables posts. Funny to see it in book form, but not a stellar improvement on the site.
