Carabiner Key Chain

Now this little thing may seem ridiculous, but I like it. It's a standard carabiner wrapped in gutted paracord, with a keyring attatched. I made this out of both frustration and inspiration. I like to keep my keys on a carabiner on a belt loop, and the junky free ones you always see have those nylon straps on it that i feel are just too long and lets the keys flap around too much. plus this carabiner had the horrible text of "goarmy.com" (sorry everyone, I'm an Air Force guy) and I wanted to cover that up. So I removed the inner strands out of about 10' of paracord (I had alot of extra) and decided to use an infantry braid to go around the carabiner, and to attach a keyring to it. I think it adds a nice decorative touch, and the key ring will almost never rip off unlike with cheap nylon straps. I still keep my keys on this thing.
