Everything about Paracord Bracelet You Need To Know

 

The utility of a good paracord bracelet stems from the very tight wound tape used to create the intricate design. In an emergency, you may well break off the band and use the remaining tape to aid to create a first aid kit, a bait line, a rope, a landing net, a trap, a retractor, hang food out of the air, in the water or basically do almost any other survival task which might require a strong rope or a tough yet malleable hook. While these items are all useful, what if there was a way to combine several of these tools in a single bracelet?

A paranoid survival bracelet kit might be just the thing to save your life in case of an emergency. There are a number of ways in which these useful tools can be used. Here is a look at a few of the ways in which a paranoid survival bracelet could come in handy.

First things first. In many circumstances, having just one good tool with you is better than having a whole lot. If you were stranded on some remote island with no cell phone or land phone, having a paranoid survival bracelet kit with you would be highly beneficial. It's extremely compact, very lightweight and comes in two primary forms. One type has a large double-strand cord with an integrated fire starter that is useful for trapping and fighting fires. The second form has a small whistle that can be used as a signal beacon in case of an emergency.

Paracord bracelets are also known as stretchy ropes. The strands of the cord are stretchable and strong and it can be made into a wide belt, much like a rope. Each brace will have about two hundred strands and can easily be replaced when needed. Some bracelets will also include a spare set of eight-in-one holes (the holes on the opposite end of the double-strand). These extra set of holes can also be used as a signaling system. When you wear one, it looks like a normal belt but when the wearer moves the excess material falls off into the bottom of the kit bag.

While the added utility is nice, carrying the paracord bracelets is where the real functionality comes in. They are compact and light, but they pack a powerful punch. As far as carrying this survival equipment goes, there is really only one direction you need to go: over your shoulder. You don't want to be trying to lug a thick leather backpack up a mountain!

The paranoid strap is attached to the inside of the main leather pouch on the inside of your backpack. It loops around the outside using a strong snap lock. To secure the strap to the pouch, simply pull on the large snap that attaches the two pieces. The pouch then holds the bracelet firmly in place. Most manufacturers provide instructions on proper care and maintenance of the 8-in-1 functionality of the bracelet.

Another important part of the bracelet is the LED light, or "light stick". This is located inside the pouch on the outside of the kit bag, and it provides two main functions. First, the LED light illuminates your wrist strap or the emergency string if you are wearing one. Second, it illuminates the exterior of your bracelet to aid in identification at the first sign of an emergency. You can also look for “LED dog collar tags” for your pet dog.

All paracord survival bracelets come with a lifetime warranty. There is also a small tag that provides some basic information about the company, including a telephone number and website. Most models come with a small storage bag to keep the LED light charged. This bag is also useful for keeping the other equipment in the kit together, such as emergency tweezers, which can be difficult to find in larger kits. Most of the larger kits that feature this bracelet have the option of shipping for an additional fee.
