So I was at a music rehearsal and needed to set the mic in a mic stand, but the mic holder was too small for the larger cordless handheld. What did I do? took off my quick release bracelet, unraveled it, and used constrictor knots to secure the mic to the mic stand. It doesn't have to be a survival situation for it to be useful. I use a simple daisy chain bracelet design so I won't have to worry about undoing a complex design (and feel bad about it) and so I can easily tie it back into a bracelet when I'm done with the cord. This way it can be used without regret for many every day uses.

You're right on target. When I started flying privately, survival situations was a consideration. There are scenarios you can read about where you end up with only what's on your person. Ironically, a bracelet was right out because I don't want to wear something that can become a hand trap. My solution was a Paracord belt (Slatts rescue belt) -- 76' of Paracord in a "one pull" disassembly. And, more importantly, I also collected survival knowledge and practice.

20 years later and it's been the best belt I've ever had (I'm still wearing it).

Due to situation in my country🇺🇦 i know at least 10 situations paracord bracelets saved lives by stopping blood so it depends on experience of user

Appreciate the candidness of this video. Been watching you for years. I have become rather good myself. I've had a few people ask me about survivalist aspect of paracording. I always steer them away. As cool as I think the hobby is. These things are fashion, eye candy, and not much else. Especially considering that most bracelets are spliced together to get all color effects were going for. Which means most of the time most bracelets only have 6-8 feet of solid cord before being spliced, and is most likely of dubious structural integrity. Either way, thanks a bunch, keep up the good work.

Great video! I love parcord as a hobby and for the bracelet, utility function. I've been doing this just about 2yrs now. And your video's along with several others have been instrumental in me staying interested and challenged with this hobby. Thank you very much!

I usually keep a fair amount of rope, paracord, straps and bungies in my trunk. At one point I had all that and duct tape and electrical tape. I thought about it and if someone looked at all of that the wrong way, it would look terrible for me. Lol

[nauticalknotcraft]

Good info. I agree, having a short length of cord is better than nothing. Knowing how to use it can make a bad situation better. Thanks, good share.

I’ve used my paracord bracelets several times for needs in the yard, at school activities when we needed to latch down stuff, tying down stuff in my car, etc.

Even just having replacement shoe laces can be handy. I only have a quick-deploy lanyard that I made with the intent of having paracord on me (Beltloop to house keys in pocket...great way to not drop your keys too). It is almost 3stories of survivor-cord. If I am on top of a typical building/factory roof and have no other way down, I could use it to get down in an emergency. I never realisticly expect to use it as such, but I have had MANY moments where my EDC has been a "lifesaver" in the moment of need.

Have you heard of the prusik knot bracelet? Very simple and cool design. Could you do a video on this please?

paracord bracelets … don't hold enough cordage to be a primary survival tool. I've seen bracelets with mini ferro rods, a compass, a whistle, one of the inner cord strands designed to easily catch fire, and a short stitching needle with a big eye that an inner strand of the cord could be used with. That's not gonna make survival happen in the wilderness, but it might replace laces, could get a small fire going if you needed it, repair a backpack strap, orient you on a cloudy day in a city (or serve in a pinch if something happens to your proper compass), and give you a whistle if you haven't otherwise got one for some silly reason. (Always carry a whistle!)

That isn't going to make the difference between survival and not in the wilderness, but it could sure be handy in a pinch otherwise on an ordinary day, especially if the bracelet is one you made and could remake pretty easily.

In response to your comment about the cobra knot bracelet not being the best option for emergency/survival due to it not holding a lot of cord + requiring a lot effort to take apart - I do agree, but like you said, the whole idea is that it would be a LAST resort. If you had the foresight to carry a quick-release bracelet with more cordage, then you'd probably be going into some kind of survival situation KNOWINGLY, and hence would also probably already be carrying a whole supply on you anyway. At the end of the day, having SOMETHING on you beats nothing at all. And the cobra knot bracelet looks much nicer to wear day-to-day than a super thick/wide bracelet which could potentially be more practical.

i used paracord that has fire tinder & fishing line. but i also carry a altoids tin with a small fishing kit.

[dhomchuck]

Fantastic topic to cover! Thank you for covering this. I always have my Every Day Carry bag with me, and any additional paradors from a bracelet is a bonus.

[michalmrowicki]

Nice video!! More videos with quick deploy paracord bracelet ideas, please 🙏 😃.

[IdahoEagle]

Which is your longest paracord bracelet?

[Heatt]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make that grey and gold bracelet with the maroon core?

The best tool for any situation is the one inside your skull. I've always thought the difference between a prepper, and a survivalist is; preppers will typically either buy gear in the hopes that they never have to use it, or just want to look cool. They horde equipment they know very little about, and never test any of it. If they do train, it's very basic backyard stuff they can do with no real threat.
Survivalists buy gear to use, and get acquainted with before folding it into their permanent tool chest because some things are either easier, or more cost effective to buy. They tend to use their gear daily because that's what's keeping them alive. A survivalist doesn't need a camp knife to baton wood with because he'll have an axe for that job.
It's really easy to get sucked into the prepper trend because of YouTube. Most people just want to own cool gear, and that's all well, and good, but as MainePrepper once said; (paraphrased) "Without proper training, all you're doing is hoarding gear for someone else to steal."

I wear a paracord bracelet all the time one day the passenger door on my car would not close as the closer was stuck in the open position so I wondered the paracord bracelet tied it around the handle inside the door then around the passenger seat job done
