Paracord, the Bracelet That Can Save Your Life

You don’t have to be one of the planet's greatest adventurers in order to find yourself in ugly situations where your safety or, even worse, your or your mates' lives are at stake. This could happen even in the somewhat secure urban perimeter, not to mention on trips into the mountains and the likes. And sometimes, in such moments, a long piece of strong cord might make the difference between life and death, or between you/your friends making it safe back home and ending up in the hospital. The Paracord Survival Bracelet is one fashionable safety gadget that will not only look good but provide you with said rope.

 

How come, you're maybe wondering. Well, it's all about winding a piece of cord according to a pretty special pattern so that a serious length of rope can be fitted in a diminutive space.

 

And since we've already mentioned “fashionable”... we're talking about bracelets. And the cord is no ordinary nylon rope but a 550-pound tested paracord that is safe and reliable for the heaviest tasks it must respond to. If need be, all you have to do is take off this stylish bracelet and have the cord unraveled to serve you; the standard bracelet is in fact manufactured by winding up 15 feet (around 5 m) of 1” (2,4 cm) thick heavy-duty cord. If you feel like you're gonna need more, just make sure you order the “wide” variety and enjoy 20 feet (6.6 m) of 1.25” (3 cm) thick cord.

 

The bracelets also come with two models of clasps: a tough side release buckle or a marine-grade stainless steel shackle; these handy survival gadgets can be worn on your hand, or attached to your backpack or in any other place. Just make sure you have them with you, because they're not gonna be of too much use if you forget them in the trunk or in the glove compartment.

 

You can choose from various colors and accessorize according to your own style. If you ever need the Paracord Survival Bracelet and have it unraveled, you can send it back to the manufacturer “along with your story” and they'll rewind it for you. Free of charge. Prices start at $17.95 and no less than 30 colors are available in flat or two-tone combinations.
