Survival necklace - Dojo97 - 12 April 2013 I am a fan of carrying a survival necklace while hiking in an area that one has been in before. I carry: a SAK, a whistle match-tub LED-light compass thermometer all in one thingy, a pill fob with money and water purification, a pill fob with cotton balls in, a small roll of duck tape on a snapped pen with the ink cartridge taken out, and a small ferro rod. Do any of you carry anything similar, and what would you add/take away? P.S: Would a small stick of fat wood be better than cotton balls? RE: Survival necklace - Scythe13 - 12 April 2013 Can you explain how it works as a necklace? RE: Survival necklace - bigpaul - 12 April 2013 i wear a survival bracelet, but i've never heard of using one as a necklace. RE: Survival necklace - Dojo97 - 12 April 2013 Paracord necklace, with everything on key rings or with holes in it, put onto the paracord.

Cotton wool balls are ok, mine are covered in Petroleum jelly, they take a spark better that way, except that if kept for a long time, the petroleum tends to dry out a bit RE: Survival necklace - bigpaul - 12 April 2013 (12 April 2013, 16:46)Dojo97 Wrote: Paracord necklace, with everything on key rings or with holes in it, put onto the paracord. sounds a bit dingly dangly sort of thing RE: Survival necklace - Scythe13 - 12 April 2013 I just stick all that kind of stuff in my pockets. RE: Survival necklace - bigpaul - 12 April 2013 or in a belt pouch. RE: Survival necklace - Tonka - 12 April 2013 I don't want to be the be the rain cloud on parade day, but I wouldn't wear anything around my neck that wouldn't quickly snap under my body weight. Paracord makes a great bracelet or keyring, but round the neck it could also make a good surprise garrote when one stumbles down that tree line slope. |
