Bison Designs Survival Cord Bracelet

Great concept for a bracelet with multitude of potential practical uses, but the plastic buckle broke after three days. Certainly a nice addition to outdoor gearbox with its potential utility but buckle needs re-work.

The paracord bracelet worked fine. The clasp was falling apart by the time I actually used it in the field. The previous reviewer commented on how nice it would be to re-tie it, and there are a number of websites that will teach you how to do that - or you could talk to someone who used to be in the military.I wouldn't recommend this to a friend because there are other, higher quality alternatives in the marketplace. REI doesn't want me to reference other retailers, so let's just put it this way: it rhymes with shmurvival shtraps. They will replace any used bracelet/dog collar/watch band they make Also, perhaps an even better deal is just creating one yourself. Google it.

These Bison Design survival bracelets are cool. True, there are better quality bracelets out there on the internet. True, there are dozens of YouTube videos and internet sites that can teach you how to make your own. Especially for those of us old enough to remember macrame or like to practice knot tying, you can buy 100' of paracord in all kinds of colors and make dozens of them. But if you don't want to do all of that, these bracelets are cool, seem sturdy to me, and I think they look awesome. I would never depend on a bracelet for survival and will still always have paracord in my "10 essentials" hiking survival supplies.
