147 pieces of rip stop nylon
370 yards of nylon tape
650 yards of thread
380 feet of double braid rope
a sewing machine
and
a latch hook?
A project that took me about 3 weeks to complete. Each piece of material is cut so that it will form the shape of a cone when sewed together. Each cone has 3 30" strips of nylon tape sewed to it, double stitched. Each completed cone is attached to the rope by feeding the ends of the nylon tape through the rope using a latch hook at both ends of the cone and tying a figure 8 knot in the end (that's 882 knots). The cones should be spaced 20" apart.
All this for a item that you hope you never have to use.
