Simple Paracord Hiking Stick Wrap

Finishing a hiking stick using 17 feet of paracord on a recessed handle. My son picked the multi-colored paracord. If the handle was a consistent diameter, it would have made a very cool pattern.

    Missing from the video is pulling the wrap tight with every turn around the stick. Also, you must push the turns up towards the starting turn to make room for more turns. If you don't do these things the wrap will start to slide down the walking stick as you use it. Also, this is a basic whipping wrap; I first learned it as a boy scout decades ago, but this one isn't done in a way that will keep it tight and on the stick. There are other, better examples of this wrap or other walking stick wraps which will hold tight longer.

      I have used a small hand grinder, a competitor to a Dremel, there are several brands. Carefully mark the staff, and be careful when grinding away wood. It's better to grind away a shallow layer, then another and check the circumference after each pass. It also helps to practice on a short piece of stick before you do your walking stick.

    Does the cord shrink or expand if soaked in water? If so, would it be best to wrap the handle with the cord either wet or dry? So it will be as tight as possible. Also consider using other weight/diameter cord. Smaller diameter would give you longer length if you needed it for coarse stitching (fabrics - hides). Thicker, like 750 lb break, MILC 5040 Type IV (I think) is almost strong enough to emergency rappel(You have to know your knots), or pull a heavy load.

    Why not at the beginning just take the loose end that will become the wrist loop, bunch it up and lightly tape it to the top of the stick, so it won't keep getting fouled up in the wrapping process? When the wrapping is done, you un-tape the loose piece and go on to make the wrist strap....

    It would have made more sense to finish the wrap as per a Common Whipping (ABoK 3442) rather than leave the end free to slip from the loop and unravel. Multi-coloured paracord almost NEVER makes a "cool pattern" because the cord tension plays a part as well as the diameter.
