that is exactly how I discovered fids
got a polypto anchor line...it came with two plastic fids
I've never braided since

I use this to carry my knife and camera on-stream
as long as you have a fid and hollow cordage, it is simple
braiding twisted rope is a real skill
I don't have any of those
another alternative is to fold your cord back
put a stitch or two through the resulting two strands
slide the tubing over the splice
heat it with a lighter, match or heat gun
thx, mister fox I should have done that

I like what you've done
your cordage appears to be a hollow braid
I use cut off knitting needles or super needles (?) as fids and make eye splices
a dab of super glue and you are done
I just hate tying knots...always have
I do love heat shrink
one of the techs I worked with used it to repair the aiglets on his shoelaces
since you've already done this for your strap
you can also attach a similar cord from camera to holster
essentially negating the effects of gravity
if I wasn't such a tragic klutz I wouldn't know about this stuff
