    Taken as just a way to carry the spare cordage, that wrap scheme would work well. I guess I thought you meant to make a sling of it.

    Now, parachutes are evidently rigged with different stuff if it's a cargo chute. I have some (very little, maybe ten feet, that I use to tie down small loads in the pickup) that my son liberated from his time in the AF. (His primary rate was parachute rigger, and I took his word that was its purpose.) That does NOT stretch at all, a flat strap weave.

    That would be correct. Most cargo can withstand huge kinetic bangs and jerks. Cargo strapping has a breaking force measured in tonnage, unless it is cut or abraded.

    Agreed I've made a few only cost me $3 for the paracord and 30 minutes sitting in front of the TV for each one.
