Survival Bracelet

So... over Christmas break I was browsing around Backpacker.com and found a very interesting how-to guide.

I found a photo guide to making your very own Survival Bracelet. Basically, it is a way of carrying about 10 ft. of paracord with you where ever you are. That way in a pinch you could use it for fishing line, shoe laces, splints, ect.

Interesting side note: after some research I found out that paracord (a strong rope that hikers are quite fond of) has a bit of a cult following on the internet. There are websites dedicated to how cool paracord is and all the fun things you can do with it...

When I see something like that I just have to try. So my brother and I ordered our first 100 ft of paracord that very day from Amazon. 2 business days later we were busy making our new creations. The backpacker description is really easy to follow.

I have also gotten quite a few remarks about how fashionable the bracelet looks... Wilderness Chic anyone?

Try making one for yourself!
