tips or tutorials of para-wrapping

i want to wrap my CS trench hawk, looking for a tough as nails paracord wrap

Usually helpful to wet the cord first, then wrap. It'll dry tighter.
Other than that... just wrap it the way you want.

Make sure you have enough cord by test wrapping the handle before you start

Don't mind me making a random post so I can find this thread for when I get a hawk in the summer.

just a little tip that i have discovered (by accident).
after you get it wrapped good and tight, coat it HEAVILY with linseed oil (this may take a few coats). that tightens it up even more. i can't even budge my strands.
granted i try to wrap the cord as tightly as i possibly can from the start.
gives this a try. i think you'll be pleased.

Thanks for the info I've been wanting to try this for ever on my Devin Price Warbeast but I am somewhat para-cord challenged.

Clamp your hawk in a bench-mounted vise. Leave your 550 soking in a container of water on the floor under the vise. wearing a pair of work gloves wrap that sucker as tight as you can, stretching the 550 on each wrap. When it dries you cannot budge it, and when wet it is still tight. I have yet to break a handle wrapped like this.
