    Well, after making a detachable rangefinder lanyard for my tree harness, I quickly became used to having my rangefinder close at hand.

    This is great if I'm up in the tree, but I wanted to have the same convenience while practicing with my bow or still hunting. So today I made an adjustable stand alone lanyard that uses the same quick clip.

    Here's the lanyard itself-

    And with the rangefinder attached-

    And how it works-

    I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. With the adjustable size, I can make it bigger to fit more layers as the season progresses.

    Negative on the banana bread, but I make a mean Venison Ruben.


    I gotta do something while I'm waiting for guests to check-in :tu:

    This paracord stuff is super easy. Order some up and jump on youtube, no need to wait for someone else to do it for you.

    I took a paracord bracelet I made to school and like 5 days later BAM everyone was making them. Its fun to do when your bored. and if your in the woods and your in a bind you can use it for a bajillion things like a tourniquet, repulsion rope, snares, and even a hammock if you have enough. I have about 50-60ft of it braided in my survival pack. you cant go wrong with some of that 550
