With the popularity of paracord these days it’s no wonder that Paracord Buckles quickly became a popular choice to securely fasten together, bracelets, dog collars, livestock leads, etc.
Commercial paracord these days come in a variety of colors, and so do the these snappy strong devices. More and more designs and styles and sizes come out every day. For example there are colored plastic buckles that come in 3/8” side release, 5/8 with adjuster bar, 5/8” side release, 1” side release, side release whistle, break-away, round cord locks, chrome skull, stainless steel, and on and on. Even all of the above contoured for bracelets and watchbands.
In our quest to contain our two huskie white retrievers we came across Paracord after watching an ex-marine survival guide weave together a dog collar for one of his dogs. He demonstrated to us that he was doing a “cobra stitch”, and the uniqueness of it got us enthused and hooked.
He then showed us a few plastic lightweight paracord buckles that were strong light and quick. Two years and hundreds of leashes made with all kinds of stitches, paracord colors, flat weaves, square weaves for our friends and family, it’s become a bit of an addiction. We try out different stitch or weave patterns all the time and it pretty much beats crossword puzzles all hollow!
We start of by attaching our favorite plastic secure heavy duty buckle and make our custom and hand-made leashes, bracelets, etc. with the knowledge that a four strand collar for example has a breaking strength at 2000lbs. That’s quite amazing and hats off to the military for pulling this together for our troops years ago so our airborne troops were able to parachute in when needed.
They are sometimes called trigger-snaps and are strong enough to ensure that either of our adventurous dogs are not going to accidentally break away on an inadvertent scent. Our neighbors and friends are always asking for something for their friends and relatives. Even our family members are asking for new and inventive uses with skull buckles, metal buckles and seemingly everything in between.
Paracord belts clasped tightly together with a paracord buckle are something to mention as well. Belts are made from a lot of paracord, woven, weaved and stitched form sometimes over 40’. If you were to get into a predicament in the outdoors, this paracord belt and buckle might be a first choice survival tool. Hopefully you won’t have to go here but think, tourniquet to slow the flow of bleeding, or sling for an injured arm etc. A strong belt with a strong buckle can really help out in an emergency.
In just a few seconds a belt can be unraveled in mere seconds, which is extremely important. With a quick release buckle or even a side release buckle it can be release quickly and taken apart with ease, especially with a cobra weave.
But even on the popularity side – everyone has embraced woven paracord products, college and high school kids are weaving their school colors, and designers are making a statement with beautiful fashion designs. Many of the attached with stong and various types and colors of paracord buckles
