Paracord Gaucho Knot / Stormdrane

This video will show how to tie a Gaucho knot using a length of paracord, Jumbo Perma-Lok lacing needle, 1/2″ diameter PVC pipe, rubber band, and a clay stylus. I’ve used the stylus for years as a makeshift marlinspike and it’s done just fine for that purpose. You can also use an awl or other pointed object to dress a knot, as you work out the slack and tighten it up, keeping it neat and even in appearance — via Stormdrane’s Blog
