At this point, the paracord belt should be finished and ready to wear. You can wrap the belt around your waist as you would wrap any other belt. If properly measured, it should be snug enough to serve the same purpose as any belt when the buckle is snapped together. This is a great belt to wear on climbing, backpacking, or camping trips, when might want access to paracord rope in the case of an emergency. You can match the belt to a paracord bracelet for some extra outfit coordination. Tie a figure eight knot in your paracord, then attach the paracord to an object that will float (like a lifejacket or log). This will help you to throw the cord farther and provide something for the victim to grab onto. If the victim is in moving water, launch the object upstream of the victim so it will float towards them. Once the person has grabbed onto the object, reel them in using the paracord.

One-sentence summary -- Wear the belt. Use your paracord as a rescue tool for a drowning victim.

You do not have to stay involved in a conversation with someone you do not like, but you should not simply blow them off. Politely excuse yourself from the conversation by letting that person know that you have other matters that also need your attention at that moment. Let them know something like, "It was nice to catch up, but I have to excuse myself. I have some pressing matters that I need to take care of." Remember that you are not obligated to disclose any information that you do not want. If they start asking about your personal life or plans that you do not want to talk about, simply let them know, "I'm not comfortable talking about that right now." Making up excuses might seem like the easy way to get out of conversation or social obligation with this person, but lying is not only improper, it creates a burden for you since you have to remember the story and possibly create further fabrications. Avoid lying and instead be polite but honest when speaking with this person. If this person asks you to hang out, for example, you don't need to say, "No, because I don't like you." Instead, opt for an honest but less offensive response such as, "I don't feel like hanging out tonight." When you are trying to be polite, it can be tempting to make promises such as, "Not now but definitely another time," or, "I can't talk right now but I'll text you later." Try not to make promises you do not intend to follow through on. This is both disrespectful to the other person, and may encourage them to come around later trying to engage you. Instead of making false promises, simply stop your statements short. Try, "I don't think I can tonight," instead of, "I don't think I can tonight but maybe next week."
