A Day in the Life of the Paracord Survival Bracelet





Do you think about what your gear goes though on an average, or not so average, day? It’s probably a bit more activity than you think, especially when you’re talking about a unique piece of gear like the Paracord Survival Bracelet by Survival Watch. Taking this piece of survival gear with you into the wild can lead to a lot of use.

Beginning Your Expedition

When you start out, the paracord is bunched comfortably around your wrist, all 12+ feet of durable nylon compressed into a narrow “Scrunchy” band. You will have chosen one of the three setting adjustments so that the fit is perfect, and it feels quite natural on your wrist. Little do you realize how thankful you will be that you picked up this little wonder from Survival Watch.

Taking a Wrong Turn

A few hours into your hike, you realize that you have a problem: you’re not entirely sure where you are. If your paracord survival bracelet has the compass attached, you should be able to get back on track in no time. Even if not, you have options. You could separate strands of the cord and tie them to branches as trail markers to keep you from going in circles or, in a worst case scenario, to help a rescue party to follow your trail. If you think rescuers are close, or if you just want to put out a general call for help, the high decibel whistle on your bracelet will certainly come in handy.

Staying the Night

There comes a point when lost in the woods when it becomes inevitable that you’re going to stay overnight in the wild. With your paracord bracelet, you can easily lash branches together to make a shelter or, with a strong blanket or similar material, you can use the cord to make a hammock. When you’re staying outdoors overnight, a fire can be important for warmth, psychological comfort and to keep wild animals at bay.

Fortunately, your paracord bracelet comes with a fire starter and the cord has fibers that can be separated and used as tinder. You’ll have as comfortable a night as you can hope for and you’ll have a great story to share with your friends tomorrow when you find your way home.
