With 550 7-strand core paracord -- 108 inches (9 feet) from the reel for the grab handle.

*[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CMLgo72AaA Neck Lanyard]

With 550 7-strand core paracord -- 192 inches (16 foot) from the reel for the lanyard. The twisted portion should be about 42"-43" in length as it turns out shorter than expected after the braid and just daily use of folding and is not meant to not be completely rigid, the extra room is to allow for alot of flexibility. When braided, it can turn out shorter than estimated. No two of these will be exactly the ~~same~~!

*Note 1: I will use the same color cord for the lanyard as the carabiner unless asked to make a three color variant, or if I feel squirrelly.

*Note 2: I have the "leftovers" mantra running through my head the whole time. On the first half for sizing, twist left strand left side left to avoid snags, and place it over the right, and so on. On the braid part, start with the left strand through a twist and put the right strand under the left one.

*Note 3: Related to note 2, pay attention and try not to miss braiding a twist. It is maddening to spot it ten minutes later, unravel to that spot to fix it.
