Survival Bracelet w/ a small twist

[admin]

small twist- literally 

I’ve pretty much swapped out most of my paracord in lieu of smaller cord, don’t really need 550# strength (I use mine mostly for guy lines for a tarp tent, building debris shelters and the like) and smaller cord is lighter and you can carry more (less volume), most of the cordage I use now is in the 2-3mm range, test in the 100-200# range, still multi stand, still w/ a woven sheath- just smaller

w/ that said I wanted a survival bracelet (great way to have cordage on your person), so I ordered up some 3/8″ curved fastex buckles and gave it a whirl. the stuff was small enough that I had to use four strands as the core (two was too thin IMO)- that filled the 3/8″ buckles nicely.

I got 15′ of line on it, more than enough to put together a debris shelter

this one is coyote brown (nice match to Maratac watch band ), simple cobra stitch- I’ll probably do some dual color ones and try some woven patterns

the smaller bracelet is a little more to my liking and a little less obtrusive
