This was my first attempt to add the 1/16th outer stitching (foliage green) to the thinner 1/8th shock cord (in black). It features an Atwood bottlebug, with a small McGizmo clip on the other end.

Clips, shackles and rings
I have a huge variety of clips, shackles and split rings that can be used on the lanyards

- Large clip
- Medium gate snap
- Small gate snap
- Small McGizmo clip
Bottom row (all swivel clips)
