Survival Bracelets - Anyone Interested In These?

[Oscar]

Hi!

NightwindElf brought to my attention Survival Bracelets. These are bracelets made out of parachute cord (paracord). I picked up some paracord and made a couple of them to see how difficult they were to make. Then I went to Google around what these typically sell for and was rather shocked at what they go for. Quite a bit of paracord goes into each as well as time to make them and seeing that they are quite popular, I could personally make and sell them for a third of the price. Here's a link to some of the ones they sell online:

Those go for $25 plus shipping. I could make those for CC members for $8 each plus shipping. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in something like this? Currently I have only 2 colors, black and blue but if there's enough interest for other colors, I could get other colors and custom make them for you. I would use side release buckles for them. Here's a picture of the few that I've made:

The one standing on the left could be like a keychain thingy. The top one doesn't use a buckle, I think it could, I would have to tinker around with that one more. The other ones do use a side release buckle so they're easy to put on.

So, anyone would perhaps be interested in these? I'd charge you $8 each plus whatever shipping is to your place. I would take payment thru PayPal. Let me know!

I would buy. I LOVE paracord haha, the last time I went camping one of my goals was to make a bow and arrow using only wood, a knife, paracord, and fire. It actually came out not too bad, able to shoot about 20 meters. My friends bow caught a fish which was pretty cool.

That was just my first attempt though. This year I intend to make a much stronger and much more accurate bow. I can provide a pic of my first bow and arrow if people want to see it.

I say this because paracord has a LOT of applications and is fantastic for survival things!

braiding 3 paracord strings seemed to provide the best result for flexibility and strength (you get the strings by opening up the cords in the pic shown by oscar)

I'd consider it, although I think i'd feel gay wearing it

^ quick fix: don't get rainbow or bright colors and wear while camping.
