Under certain circumstances I like to bring a rifle and ammo with me when I go into the wilderness. And of course it's always a good idea to bring a length of paracord too. Both items fall into the "could come in handy" category of gear. In the endless persuit to lighten my pack and reduce bulk I've combined the two. Rather than just carrying around paracord on the off chance I might need it here's a way to give it a full time job; holding your ammunition. It allows you to leave the ammo boxes at home and is a step up from just having loose rounds scattered about your pack.

Step 1: Uses

Whether you choose to sling it over your shoulder like an ol' bandito, tie it to the buttstock of your rifle, or roll it up and stuff it in your pack like I do, the paracord bandolier is a functional and easy to make piece of equipment.
