I plugged in "how to make a tie hitch" in the search engine and even in the advanced search, but to my suprise there was a ton of threads about making everything else... I have a bunch of left over 550 para cord from my army days and need to do something with it. I have looked online for them to buy and I don't want to pay $50 + shipping for a cord! I am going to have 4-6 cocks and most of them are game breeds.... I don't want any bloody roos! I have raised my gramps fighting chickens when I was younger and don't want that for MY flock! Can anyone help me? Where's the old skoo knoledge? I miss that! Lookin to my elders for answers

That's it, that's what I use. Be sure to put mole skin inside the leather, I use a piece of nylon dog collar, doesn't rot and crack as quick as leather
