Someone sent me a message saying...."To all you survival bracelet lovers who think they are really wearing a survival bracelet when all it is is a bunch of braided paracord. It's good to know that when you're straving, freezing & dead they can use it to wrap it around your feet and drag your dead cold body home with it." WELL SAID! And so go ahead all you pissed off "survival bracelet" makers, sellers & lovers and pass the word around to all your survival bracelet forum buddies about this...
I have no heartburn with people wearing, making & selling paracord bracelets, but to call them survival bracelets...It's like taking a Ferrari car "hood ornament" and placing it on the hood of a Fiat car and trying to sell it as real Ferrari. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Look closely at what these so call "survival bracelets" contain - no survival items attached to them whatsoever! SEE MY FOLLOW UP COMMENTS & POSTINGS ON THIS...
If someone advertised a pair of "boot laces" made out of parachute cord and called them "Survival Boot Laces," would you buy them? Then what's the difference is between a "paracord bracelet" and "survival bracelet" if the so call survival bracelet contains no survival items whatsoever????
Did ya know there are over 5,000 eBay sellers marketing their paracord bracelet as "survival bracelets?" Now just because this many sellers are calling their product a survival bracelet doesn't mean they are correct in calling it that. It just means they all jumped on the same bandwagon so they could try to market it better to those who believe it is a survival bracelet.
As far as including a bracelet as part of a larger survival kit. I think that is insane. In a larger kit the smartest way to carry cordage is in a bundle in the bottom of your bag. Personally I keep 100 feet of unopened, packaged cord in my bugout bag. This has a great deal more uses than the meager 10 feet a bracelet offers. But, no, I would not suggest betting your life on ten feet of cord ( or a hundred for that matter.)
LOL!!! Great Video. I also love your website. Just so you know, I am one of those survival bracelet guys, but I can poke fun at myself. Your point is well taken. I agree, you are not going to survive off ten feet of parachute cord. however,I use my bracelet as an addendum to my edc kit. My kit incudes snare wire but I like the small amount of cordage for backup snare material. The inner strands can also be a good backup fishing line when tied together.
funny vid! lol! make the bracelet with plastic interlocking buckles, like the ones u find on gun holsters only smaller! its a good idea tho!
