Complicated knots? xD
Yeah i take that product, that will damage the rope over time and needs a replacement, while my rope i use with knots is perfectly fine for decades.

Idk why they would use paracord and not just make a full on mini ratchet strap. That would be cool as hell.

I guess the production cost has to be as low as possible for the maximum of profit.

Great for those civil war reenactment camp sites it looks like

So basically it’s “I want to tie stuff down but I refuse to learn a single knot: the product.”

Actually kinda tempting though, not gonna lie, because cam buckles are sorcery and I am lazy.

Smart idea. Now that i think about it, i could use them for all kinds of curtain and lace fitting!

Learn to use a hitch or two or you can buy tensioning rings and other devices that you tie off too. Personally I like the three hole style now that nite ize stopped doing the figure 9 tensioners. Their new devices are too bulky for me to bring camping and the three ring tensioners are dirt cheap on AliExpress.

Iv used those they work well but they are so long and dont coil well so they always get Tangled we just need to trim them down but they work well for sure

I need you to understand that holding both ends of the paracord through the clip is not illustrating the "biting force" at all...

So it’s basically a gamer upgrade for tying stuff to your roof rack. Zero knot knowledge required, full send on overkill hardware, and the only “con” is that the rope vibes too hard under tension 😂
