HOMEMADE
COILED
LANYARDS
This next tip was forwarded to me by a fella named MIKE GILLES. And when I first reviewed his tip I remember saying to myself, "Boy, that's a damn good idea!" And then a few months afterwards I saw an advertisement in some British military supply catalog about a coiled lanyard for pistols and it wasn't cheap either. They wanted $40.00 for the damn thing and they claimed you could "pull a car with it, use it to repel down the sides of buildings and once it's attached to your pistol and belt – no one will ever be able to take it away from you."
Whatever, I just don't think it's worth $40. Why? Well not only because of the price but because I don't intend to pull a car with it nor repel down any buildings with it. And so what I did was buy me a package of some 25 foot coiled telephone cord, some electrical tape, wire and some mini snaplinks from my local Walmart store and here's how I made my own coiled lanyards based on Mike Gilles idea, check it out.

| 25 Ft. Coiled TelephoneCord | You
also need tape, wire and mini snaphooks. |

First cut the length you want, then attach the mini snaphooks to the ends, secure them with wire and then cover it with some tape.
I not only attached these homemade coiled lanyards to my pistol but also to my compass, flashlight. two way radio and my knife too.
