With 550 7-strand core paracord --

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

~~Maybe~~ 108 inches (9 feet) from the reel, for the grab handle

With 550 7-strand core paracord -- ~~this is an edited note,~~ 192 inches (16 foot) from the reel. -~~Tip:~~ use ~~more~~ and ~~and cut things back~~ to ~~fire weld them~~.

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.

~~Use real carabiners~~ for the ~~clips!~~

**Note 2: I have the "leftovers" mantra running through my head the whole time. On the first half for sizing, twist left strand then left side 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.
