10 Ways a survival bracelet can save your life

[Mortblanc]

Sorry Sunna, while I agree that there is little left for the Rambo types and in the proper setting one might be able to steal most of ones needs from the barns and fence rows, there are times when one needs cordage for specific needs and it is simply not going to be available unless one has it with them. That is especially true if one is injured and must remain in place until help arrives. One might have to "make do" with what they can reach in arms distance.

550 cord is also unique in its construction with 7 inner stands that are uniform and have consistent tinsel strength and the outer cover which is rated alone at over 250 pounds.

While I do not wear a "survival bracelet" I do use a belt woven from 150 feet of 550 cord. It has a two layer leather buckle tab that has a razor blade sandwiched between the layers and the buckle is made from 1/4" welded stainless steel.

I also replace the boot laces in my outdoor footwear with 550 cord, just in case.

And in every application where I can, I make rifle slings from woven 550 cord. The average 3' sling in a cobra braid is about 100'.

While not a "Rambo" I still like the stuff and have a 1000 foot spool in the work room.

It is one of those things I want to have available "just in case", which is why they call it "prepping".

The end of the world is not the only thing one must prep for. Life is filled with mundane emergencies that one must navigate to stay alive while waiting for the "big one" that never comes.
