It Worked for Me! Wednesday - para cord storage


Earlier this fall, we went camping as a test run for a planned camping trip.  I was anticipating being in GA for most of the month of November camping as well.   In preparation for that, I searched on Pinterest for tips that would make camping easier.  One that I found was an easy way to store para-cord.  This works great! No more tangled cord!  Para-cord is a strong cord that has a multitude of uses.  It comes in a variety of colors.  I use a bright color for visibility.

Edited to add:

  1. Find a plastic jar with a lid that the cord will fit into.  The jar you see was the second attempt since the first jar I tried was too small.
  2. Drill a hole in the center of the lid. 
  3. Poke cord through lid.
  4. Screw on lid.
Simple as that.  Thanks, Autumn.  I hadn't realized I didn't list out the instructions. I was supervising the girls preparations for Thanksgiving dinner when I typed this out earlier and was a bit distracted.  :)
