First, I spoke with Tyler before posting this to make sure that he was ok with it.
Hey fellow SBGs!
Last year I became aware of survival bracelets. I was immediately fascinated with their convince and practicality.
If you're not familiar with them, a survival bracelet is bracelet made of 550 paracord. The paracord has a test weight of 550 pounds. They are popular among hikers, campers, and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The survival bracelet, when finished, is made up approximately 8 to 10 feet of paracord depending on the size of the wrist of the wearer. In an emergency, the survival bracelet can be fairly quickly unraveled and used in any number of ways. Additionally, the paracord has seven inner strands that can be removed and used for fishing line, snares, or even stitching material in the case of an extreme emergency.
Why am I telling you this? Because, I've started to make and sell them to generate some income. My family has a larger than normal medical expense line in it's budget and I am doing this in an effort to help offset those expenses. I sell bracelets, key fobs and zipper pulls for $10, $5, and $3 each (respectively)
Here's is a link to a gallery of some to the different survival bracelet and other paracord creations that I've made.
Twisted Knots Paracord Dropbox galleryI also have a Facebook page to promote my survival bracelets. If you're on Facebook, you can go to
https://www.facebook.com/TwistedKnotsParacord to see the same pictures in the gallery linked above as well as many more. As I make new color combinations or creations with paracord, I upload the pictures to the Facebook page. It is the best way to see the latest of everything that I make.
If you're interested in purchasing a survival bracelet, PM me and we can discuss what you want. I need to know what color(s) you want and your wrist size (without adding any additional length).
If you are not interested in buying one, that's ok. I understand. However, I would still appreciate it if you could throw a 'like' my way if you are on Facebook.
Also, please feel free to pass along this information to anyone you know that might be interested in them. They are a great way to show support for your alma mater, favorite sports team, or cause and they make a great stocking stuffer.
This is an example of a paracord survival bracelet. It also happens to be the one that is currently always on my wrist. That is until I find a new favorite color combination.
