What makes a paracord pocket bullwhip so good?
The whip has a telescoping handle so that you can get more leverage for easier cracking. The braid is hollow as to allow the whip to fold on itself and fit in your pocket. This project was a lot of fun. It doesn’t crack as loud or quite as easily as my full sized bullwhips but it does crack and I’ve found that it’s a great learning whip.
What kind of cord do you use to make a bullwhip?
In this video we demonstrate how to make a bullwhip out of 550 cord, referencing this full tutorial by Nick’s Whip Shop. Try your hand at making paracord bullwhip using TITAN’s trusted 550 WarriorCord or patented SurvivorCord. If playback doesn’t begin shortly, try restarting your device.
When to drop two strands of paracord whip?
When you reach one of the points where the whip gets thinner, you’ll need to cleanly “drop” two of your working strands so the number of them remains adequate to the thickness. This step is an easy one as well and should produce a seamless transition from 8 to 6 strand-plait.
What to do if paracord slips out of sheath?
If by mistake your last inner strand slips out of the sheath early or alone, you might try to feed it back through the cord by tying it to a long piece of stiff wire ( longer than the cord ). Or you might just cut another piece of paracord and start over. We will now bind those first strands to the handle.
