I created Lankeys following my passion of the great outdoors and the need to be constantly prepared. Inspired by legends such as Bear Grylls and Ray Mears, the Lanky Lanyard range incorporates all that is outdoors, practical but affordable. Each lanyard is woven and tied by me and made from high quality paracord. They are fully customisable whether you are hiking, camping, fishing or simply a prac
tical Dad and gadget freak like me. Enjoy the Lankeys range and if you have any questions, then please drop me a message. below is a brief overview of what paracord is all about (for the geek in you)
Paracord is an intensely versatile, strong, lightweight and integral part of any serious survival kit. Generally made up of between 7 and 9 strands of nylon, paracord has an incredible breaking strength of 550lbs, in normal money that is 1/4 of a ton! Originally for the brave army guys way back in the 2nd world war, this ingenious rope was created for parachutes and therefore designed to be malleable, ultra strong and light as a feather, as there would be 100’s of yards wrapped up in a ball of silk waiting to be deployed. As the make up of this product is nylon, it will not perish, rot or degrade making it an ideal base core for any survival kit. The uses for paracord are:
- Lankeys Lanyard core
- Shelter roof (when strung between two trees and foliage used)
- Repairs to other survival gear (clothing, bags, boot laces)
- Fishing line (use the inner threads)
- Hoisting
- Snares (use the inner threads)
- Weapon making (spears, bow and arrow)
- Basic 1st aid (sling, splint)
- Keeping food off the ground
- Trip wire alarm for unwanted animals in the wild
- Raft making
Available in many colours from standard black to iridescent yellow with reflective stripes, the choice is completely yours but one thing is for sure, you will not be disappointed with its quality and versatility.
