550 Cord

I thought Id take a moment and profess my love of 550 Paracord. For those you dont know what it is, Paracord is parachute cord with a breaking point of 550lbs (Hence, 550 cord). Being in a deployed location I have learned to love this stuff and use it for 100s of applications. Thus far, Ive used it as replacement shoe strings, to string some sheets along my bed for the infamous "Spank tank," Made a few of those nifty bracelets, and for a day or so, I used it for a belt.
I am convinced, that if you ever find yourself in a survival situation a knife and 550 cord will get you through it.

OH GOD IM SO BORED!

That pretty much sums it up right there. Ive been in Afghanistan for about 85 days now, and it is starting to drag pretty damn hard. Extreme boredom even helped propel this blog, and the more and more time I have on my hands the more and more I expect to post.

So Stay tuned! Expect a few "projects" to start appearing!

So here it is

I lament my descion now to open my own blog, but alas, I think it is time I climbed on this bandwagon. This will be my place to share my thoughts with the world. They may be twisted, they may be wrong, but damnit their mine. You have been warned.
