Survival StrapsTM are the original, U.S. made survival bracelet. They are hand-constructed from approximately 16 FEET of Seven-Strand, 550 pound test heavy-duty military specification parachute cord. They contain approximately 1.75 of parachute cord for every inch (wrist size) ordered.
That means that 16 Feet of seven strands, plus the shell, equals about 128 FEET of high-grade nylon cord immediately available for a wide variety of tasks when the inner strands are removed for a variety of applications. In an emergency situation, you can unravel the bracelet and deploy the parachute cord for use. A tough plastic side-release buckle keeps the bracelet on securely, but can be released to deploy the bracelet very quickly. After unbuckling, simply slide out the working ends of cord on the underside of the bracelet, and unravel.
U.S. Military Forces use these survival bracelets every day, and they are proven to be a vital component of any survival-minded persons gear. Survival experts worldwide suggest that survival tools be carried on the person, not just in their gear or equipment pack. Wearing one of these bracelets ensures that you will be able to utilize the high-grade nylon parachute cord for quick shelter building, snares, repairs, fishing, fist-aid applications (e.g., slings and splints), and much more.
An "Owners Manual" comes packaged with each bracelet that describes your bracelets features, tips, and how to deploy it.
Measure First!
These bracelets are already made and ready to ship to you. Please pay close attention to the sizing: These survival bracelets are intentionally made to be slightly larger than your measured wrist. To measure, use a string to wrap around your lower wrist and then measure the string. (The lower wrist is where the bracelet will fall naturally due to your own wrists movements). If you are in between sizes, use the larger size. Ensure that you measure your wrist prior to order, as exchanges or returns for size issues are not allowed. Note: completely soaking the bracelet in water and drying completely will shrink the bracelet by about one-quarter of an inch.
