You know what I'm talking about. The <u>Survival Java Jacket</u> is made from a single 19½ foot piece of gutted paracord (which has a working strength of 300 lbs.). [You can also special order them with ungutted 450 or 550 paracord if you want more insulation (or load strength) but the look and feel is slightly less nice.] When slid onto a small or large <i>Smegabucks</i> or <i>Dinky Donuts</i> paper coffee cup, it is about 2" tall and 11" circumference and snugly embraces the cup.<br /><br />Between uses, it is completely flexible and takes up virtually no room in your pocket, briefcase, backpack, or purse; so you can always have it with you when you start jonesing for some hot, black, caffeine. You could even wear it on your wrist between fixes. (I hear the chicks dig that.) And before I forget to mention it, you'll love the way it feels in your hand. If you think you know what paracord feels like - fuggetaboudit. Bracelets made from paracord tend to feel a bit coarse because the knots are tightly tied and rather bumpy. Because this knot is looser, this feels <u>much</u> smoother and softer - but still provides a good grip. It feels even better <u>off</u> the cup.<br /><br />Technically speaking the <u>Survival Java Jacket</u> is a 21 part, 20 bight Turks Head knot with a Gaucho weave (over two, under two). Math geeks will appreciate that the paracord crosses over or under itself 20 times (n+1 = # of parts) from the bottom to the top and makes the trip from the bottom to the top 20 times (# of bights = # of times cord changes direction). The two ends are heat sealed together for a permanent connection.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJPBLzIDtYj4FaGbtMw2-2cU3GGWZwFDgCV6Z3FxQeEjNcdKq8DhO3_hMzRqjFvkQ12o0qc1Tlx8yJzSs_OgR3QzdJwFJyIiBz-gEAFQ-JCBnt8m8YsuMJnp13BAEaTvBTrWUwLr-rdYy/s1600-h/etsy0868.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

If you don't know what that means, suffice it to say it's bigger and more complicated looking.<br /><br /><br />I learned to make much simpler turks head knots (3 lead, 4 bight; 3 lead 5 bight) more than 35 years ago. In the last month, I stepped it up and have made some long 2 bight, 3 bight, and 4 bight turks head knots - mostly on carabiners. So this was quite a big step for me.<br /><br /><br />So I tried it out on my Pilot Dr. Grip Gel pen using beige 1.4mm braided nylon cord. This cord is a just bit smaller than 1/16" diameter and for a pen is a little bit thicker than I would like. Still, it does not make the pen uncomfortable to hold and it was a good exercise. Besides, now nobody is going to mistake my pen for theirs.<br /><br />I tried it again using some 1/8" twisted cotton cord and it didn't turn out too bad.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNic43TgWl-WOyxkX_cJIpf_T4xIphv-U5H3u-dwMED-gUUikfy5eRtvD6BV48WAu9niHcrMZSnFDq4FYSrnkuHbAKE2BvlkTJ3cUljpIfOc1scEVrTaBjn4826Ao2_hP2M8OuzbM0TqS/s1600-h/640_0546.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341667195793413810" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNic43TgWl-WOyxkX_cJIpf_T4xIphv-U5H3u-dwMED-gUUikfy5eRtvD6BV48WAu9niHcrMZSnFDq4FYSrnkuHbAKE2BvlkTJ3cUljpIfOc1scEVrTaBjn4826Ao2_hP2M8OuzbM0TqS/s400/640_0546.jpg" border="0" /></a>Knoticalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674687064412951412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972014192060984505.post-89726025915091482602009-05-29T15:23:00.005-05:002009-06-10T09:58:48.796-05:00Getting back in the habitHi folks,<br /><br />Back when I was very young (and dinosaurs were becoming scarce) my dad introduced me to knots I had never seen and a wonderful book called The Ashley Book of Knots.<br /><br />I learned a lot from that book and I made some things that nobody had ever seen before. But then I put it down for a long time. Another blogger, <a href="http://stormdrane.blogger.com/">Stormdrane</a>, inspired me to picked it back up again<br /><br />Here's a picture of some coasters I made recently. They're in pink in honor of my step-mom's valient, if unsuccessful, eight year battle with cancer. In the Ashley book, it's knot #4355.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR0h19tRE0ADUNAgWHlXXmLhnqSwEbVPkZ82zh1UkLDmp7_7YUVqEYm-Ik0waivNdJs1gdgF6IvXaAEBXdusMo4dMCKDrFklj0lFl6jtW7j5gPCHIcpXRN13a19v-eIKO_Pah3ycWtSAZq/s1600-h/100_0551(Small).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341453539090132962" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR0h19tRE0ADUNAgWHlXXmLhnqSwEbVPkZ82zh1UkLDmp7_7YUVqEYm-Ik0waivNdJs1gdgF6IvXaAEBXdusMo4dMCKDrFklj0lFl6jtW7j5gPCHIcpXRN13a19v-eIKO_Pah3ycWtSAZq/s400/100_0551(Small).jpg" border="0" /></a>Knoticalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674687064412951412noreply@blogger.com0
