What have you used paracord for?

True. Once the existing airflow brings the system to the lowest temp it will hold, changes like the braiding can be made and may have no effect.

Iā€™ve always been too cheap (and mostly impatient) to do more inside the case than use zip ties and route them out of the airflow. If I were doing the braiding, Iā€™d fold the wires to shorten and tie them before braiding so that they run snug along corners inside the case where the airflow is relatively dead anyway. Except for any that need length for opening the case, as with some of my side fans.

That said, I finally got a modular with my newest system and now Iā€™ve got a bunch of extra braided wires in a fancy zipper case that I wonā€™t use unless I go crazy for more fps. Flashlights are a LOT cheaper. LOL

Iā€™m making a Paracord armyā€¦ā€¦

hush hush now, donā€™t tell anyone as Iā€™m not ready to take over the world yetā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦

So far only lanyards on knives (if I am lucky enough that some knife has the lanyard hole, some do notā€¦)

But I still like to buy paracord LOL just to have it for unforeseen emergency uses everyone says you should have it for.

Still love that rattlesnake Jack. Sent that picture of it constricting the voodoo doll guy to some of my buddies & they got a kick out of it. :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve used 550cord to: wrap pry bar handles, knife & flashlight lanyards/fobs, neck-lights/neck-knives, put a fob on the electric keycards for my communityā€™s [PITA] entrance gateā€¦ use it here and there to lash, but it will never replace zipties and duct tape.
:smiley:

P.S. - nice blades there bald1

Wow, may I ask what those knives are? Very nice looking. Id be interested in getting some more info on the top and the bottom knivesā€¦they look expensive so I dont think they are budget knives!

They are M5 and M6 model Ek knives. The top is customized with a cocobolo handle I carved. The bottom one is a sterile black powder coated model with neoprene grips. The M6 and the black models are no longer available. The current offerings can be seen here: http://www.ekknife.com/index.html The M series runs $269 and up.

I use paracord for restraintsā€¦.

tying her up and buying the test range, err, house?

the victims are not always herā€¦ā€¦

I wouldnā€™t risk tying up mrs gords, at some point Iā€™d have to untie herā€¦ā€¦that wouldnā€™t be a wise move.
