The best book I have on paracord!
I got interested in making paracord items several months ago and bought a couple of “beginner” books on paracord projects. They were OK, but not as good as All Wrapped Up in Paracord. The other books only gave instrucions for making bracelets and the methods covered required using those little plastic buckles and listed LOTS of tools that were required.All Wrapped Up in Paracord is a MUCH better book for the beginner or for the experienced paracorder,. This book covers lots of different projects that will actually be useful to the outdoors-person. Exactly what I have been looking for.Some of the topics covered include a description of the different types of paracord that are available, a list and description of the small number of tools needed, the essential knots and weaving techniques, techniques needed for starting and ending wraps cleanly and neatly, and has projects for making lanyards, straps, key fobs and other useful products,I really liked the fact that no buckles are needed for the bracelets. I also really like the instructions for making various handle wraps for knives, walking staffs and other items. There is even a project teaching how to make a sling (as in David and Goliath)!The instructions are clear and well illustrated with black and white photographs which are very adequate to make the steps clear. Wherever it helps to make the steps more clear, different strands are shown in different shades of grey which make the differences very clear.Great book!

REALLY REALLY helpful book
This book has so many little tips and tricks. It has a lot of great projects, but in general is the perfect book for a beginner. Each project has the full instructions from start to finish. I wish they offered this book in color for a little more. It’d definitely be worth it and I’d the only reason it’s not a solid 5 stars

shotgunsight
this is a very nice add on sight. it is good for older folks who have a hard time finding the smaller bead sight on the gun. it is also great for beginners who are not able to find the bead. the optics are great,they show a larger bead which is easier to locate in early morn or late evening shooting. this review is for the shotgun sight not the paracord.i was a little mixed up on the review page

You have to spend money to make money.The information in this book was very good, and the instructions aren’t bad. The issues are:A. While the cover is bright and colorful, the pictures in the book are all black and white. It does say that on the cover, but unless you zoom in and look you don’t really notice in the ad.B. You can get very good detail in black and white if it’s done correctly, even better than color in some instances. This was not one of those times. Now I don’t know if this is a printing quality issue or not in this case. Several of the pictures use black paracord for the demonstration. This would have been fine if the picture quality was better or the lighting was different, but in many cases it makes it really hard to see and follow the overs and unders of the various knots. The pictures that use “colored” paracord are much easier to make out and follow.The book does have everything I was looking for, it just takes a little longer to pull off since you have to read and look at the pics more closely and a little longer than one usually would otherwise. Being a visual/tactile learner I would have preferred better pics.All in all the book is still useable and accomplishes that it was intended to do.

Paracord wrapping, basic knot tutorial, black and white.
Very useful book! If you want to wrap objects and learn basic cord knots, its a really well put-together book. Yes, the pictures are black and white, but they are plentiful. I’m a super novice, and this was a good pick as a secondary book.It is not a paracord encyclopedia, but if you are looking for tips on cool wraps for knives and other objects, it’s a very well written book and a good real.

Perfect starter book – extremely satisfied
Great book. One of the nice parts is that he explains how to attach clips, but shows you how to make the items without the clips. The pictures easily take you step by step through each process and you become proficient pretty quickly. After flipping though the pages I made the first 3 progressively more difficult bracelets in about 4 hours with taking breaks for sore hands not used to tying knots. Although he shows a number of bracelets, he gives the math to you so that you can make the chains as long as you want in case you wanted to make a belt or dog leash, etc. Highly recommended and a perfect starter book.

Preppers, Survivalists, and DIYers. Buy it.
I bought several for gifts. Nick does a great job introducing you to the basics of wrapping. No book has the ability to show you how to make a Turks Head knot with drawings or photos, but with this book and a little help from YouTube, (The Backyard Bowyer), you can do what you need to do. This is a fantastic starter for those wishing to dabble, and possibly get serious about using paracord for more than what it was intended for. I highly recommend this for Preppers, Survivalists, Scouts, and military types looking to think outside the box when it comes to wrapping handles of any type, including knives, but also cases, etc.

I haven’t gone through the entire book but it is an amazing book for every one who likes to braid, tie knots or do interesting projects. Its really good for 550 7 strand paracord lovers like myself. Overall its an excellent book so go get it and get out there and try it yourself!

Guida passo passo alla realizzazione di molteplici progetti (non solo braccialetti quindi). L’autore parte dal presupposto che il lettore non sappia neanche realizzare un nodo e lo guida lentamente fino alla realizzazione dei lavori più complicati. Le foto che accompagnano il testo sono si in B/N ma molto nitide e così esplicative che rendono quasi inutile la lettura del testo (completamente in inglese). Davvero un ottimo manuale. Consigliato.

Ich habe dieses Hobby gerade erst entdeckt und würde am liebsten voller Begeisterung, alles in Paracord einwickeln, was sich nur einwickeln lässt 😀 Die Bilder sind zahlreich und mit entsprechenden Erklärungen versehen. Daher ist dieses Buch zu empfehlen. Viele Armbänder, Anhänger und Wickeltechniken werden gezeigt.Für den Preis echt top 😀

It arrived on cue, well packaged. I have looked through it and some of the knots areuseful to use on Walking sticks so I hope to try some of these out soon!
