Putting a Wrap on my Time at Paracord Planet

Jackson passes on the Paracord Baton (aka Paracord Pete) to Maggie
I was twenty years old when I started working at Paracord
Planet. I had never heard of paracord before—I merely was looking for a job
that could pay some bills and grant me a few college credits. It took me about
three months to learn my first weave; it took me roughly six to learn the
jargon. Although I was far from expert status, it only took me a few days on
the job to realize what an amazing sense of community existed amongst you
paracord crafters. I was welcomed in to it, I provided content to it, and I
will miss it dearly. Over the past year and a half, I learned more about
hitches, knots, and weaves than I ever thought possible. Although I will be leaving
a drawer full of paracord crafts behind, I will be bringing with me an immense
collection of memories from my time spent at Paracord Planet.
Alright, enough with the sentimentality. I am so very proud
to give over the reins to Paracord Planet’s social media accounts to my friend,
Maggie. As I look back on all of the relationships that I have made with you people
over the past 16 months, I can’t help but feel ecstatic for Maggie to share
some of those same experiences. She has an innate ability to connect with people,
a marked way with words, and a budding fascination with paracord. I’m leaving
you all in very good hands!
For the last time, #HappyCording.
