Bullwhip With Built in Survival Kit

This Bull whip's handle has a pvc base, allowing it to hold items inside it. For mine I put matches, striker, wire, duck tape, a pen, a small saw, fishing kit  and a knife.

Step 1:  Gather all your supplies: Survival items to put into the handle (personal choice); Marble, scissors, ruler, BB's, lighter, hack saw, file, pliers, para cord needle,  1/2 " PVC pipe [about 12 inches long - cut to length and filed down),  para cord ( I used 4 different colors, about 15 feet of each color), hot glue gun, glue and duck tape.

Step 2:  Prepare Monkey fist (using the marble and 10 feet of cord)

Step 3: Attached Monkey fist to PVC by using hot glue or tape. Monkey fist is the cap of the PVC Survival kit

Step 4: Attach 4 more strands to the PVC pipe about 6 feet long of each.  

Step 5: The knots I used for the grip was a long turks head, and for decoration I also tied two smaller turks heads on in the places where different sections meet.

The actual whip part is divided into 3 different sections,

Step 6: The first section is made from 6 strand half round braid, about 3 feet long, finished.

Step 7:  At the end of the 1st section, cut 2 strands, whip the ends and continue braiding, hiding the ends inside the whip.

Step 8: The second section I used a 4 strand round braid, about 18 inches, finished.   Leave about 6 inches of para cord on the end.

Step 9: Prepare 3 rd  section of the whip.  I used A single strand of para cord (Orange) (24" long).   

Step 10: stuff 15 (+ or-) BB's into one end of the cording.  The BB end is now ready to be breaded into the end of Section 2.  (Step 8)

Step 11:  Finish Section 2 with an overhand knot and whip ends.

Step 12: The very end of the whip is left  frayed.

The whip works perfectly well and has a pretty substantial crack.
