Survival Cord

Check this out. It is a pretty neat idea. Especially for BUG OUTS or campers/hikers.

Survival Straps - Paracord Survival Bracelets, Lanyards, Belts and Accessories... Be Prepared!

I always pack 100 yards of para-cord in my BOB when I head out to the war zones. Comes in handy for so many things!!!

Buy it there or just make it yourself. I have several of these that I made attached to the handles of my BOB and more on my backpack.

I won't buy any of those products, just because I can make them all myself, and have already made a few. Some from REAL paracord, cut from parachutes. I've bought plenty of bundles of 550 cord, and it's about as useful as duct-tape. I even lace my boots with it, so I'm constantly walking around with about 6 feet of it.

Para cord is indeed a great field tool. I bring some along most times. But I guess I don't get the weaved bracelets. Seems cool, you've got 6 or 8 foot of cord on your wrist, but 50 feet doesn't take up much room in a BOB, or glove compartment. I picked up a 50 foot pack from LAPG for $3 ~ as a tag along when I bought something else, and all I've got to do to employ it is open the zip lock bag it's in.

Fair point, navyguy. I carry bundles of paracord in bags as well. These items seem to be geared toward occasions when you don't have your BOB, and all you have is what is on your person. A few feet of paracord can do wonders when you don't have anything else on you. I know I don't always have a BOB with me. In fact, I don't even have a BOB (reasoning for that is a completely different subject; rest assured, I'm prepared.) But a bracelet that I can wear all the time, or a watch band, or a belt, or my boot laces- they're with me all the time.

Paracord does seem to be a good idea
