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).
Hey that can be a video on the channel how to make slatts rescue belt.
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.
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.
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!
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
@@arottedfruit Well, it depends on a bracelet and tightness. I find trilobite and fast untying bracelet best of obvious reason - they are accessible on emergency. You can use knife to unravel cord and then get amount of rope you need. Then just use some tight knot like constrictor or canadian jam. However i would not recommend using paracord as tourniquet, because it can severely damage nerves, but if you don't have one its probably one of the best choices.

@@carlossarabia148 Thank you, sincerely 🤗
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.
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.
Dear Weavers of Eternity; As always, I love your information here, one never knows how or when it will come in use…
Sharing on my twitter…
Thank you…
Nice video!! More videos with quick deploy paracord bracelet ideas, please 🙏 😃.
Have you heard of the prusik knot bracelet? Very simple and cool design. Could you do a video on this please?
Great video Tim! Love the channel 🙂
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.
Do you have a tutorial on how to make that grey and gold bracelet with the maroon core?
Thanks very much
I’ve made prusiks out of them. So they’re useful to me.
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.
Last week I used my paracord bracelet to tie two shopping bags to carry them in one hand comfortably :D
The only reason why I made a paracord bracelet was when I went to the lake just take it apart and make a simple paracord sling
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
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.
Agreed. It's not something you can slap on your wrist and then think that you're good to go. Might even give you a false sense of security, but like you said, in a pinch, it's definitely better than nothing. Always best to actually be prepared with the proper equipment and safety measures.
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 TH-cam. 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."
Perfect length for a bowstring
Muy interesante gracias por compartir saludos
Which is your longest paracord bracelet?
I was thinking on a very stupid idea: could I make a paracord backpack?
I think I saw a guy make a paracord backpack here on TH-cam, so maybe not that stupid of an idea haha
How about paracord ubderwear
@@igoranisimov6549 That's just straight up crazy. Only a sociopath would do this.
@Gabriel Castro Morais why? Underwear made of microcord would be very practical for outdoor activities. It may be unusual, but it's definitely not crazy.
Where did you get that bag from? It would make a great handbag for me, and stylish too
I did a video about it here: th-cam.com/video/mxx8rc0875Y/w-d-xo.html 😊
@@TheWeaversofEternity awesome. Thank you ♥
okay but a more realistic use for the modern society, is when you're travelling. so when you check in your luggage, you can always clip your paracord bracelet into the luggage handle. Its a unique way to make sure your luggage doesn't get lost. though I would recommend a more complex weave since if you do basic weaves especially cobra weaves, there's a high chance people got a similar one through a shop.
It can come in handy if, for example, you rescue a dog on the side of the road and do not have a leash. I have 2 collars and a leash stashed in my truck, just in case, but what if you're riding with someone else? Maybe your belt broke and you need to hold your pants up so you can go buy another one. Just some ideas.
Hey, just wondering, do you have a tutorial for the braclet in the thumbnail?:)
Yep, that's just a cobra knot bracelet, tutorial is here: th-cam.com/video/qfLBtE650XA/w-d-xo.html
I used burgundy cord for the core strands, but as for the main weave it was gold and this other greyish/purple color that I unfortunately don't know the actual name of.
QUESTION: Hoping someone can help me, i see a lot of paracord bracelets and depending on the style and knots involved usually it ends up being 1.5 to 2m length of cord per color. But what size bracelet is that??? My reason for asking is I have a very boney wide wrist and with like 13in I think it is loosely I would need to add more paracord but I cant do the conversion if i dont know the standard size to compare it to.
It's in the neighborhood of 18 to 20 cm
@@denisewenke8323 thank you for that, I am about 22cm I think and need about 22 to 24cm from what I remember which means I have to work out how to extend.......
Got rear-ended use my Paracord tie my exhaust up. Plus I think you should always be able to get home without your vehicle so I always use survival cord as the core of my bracelets then you have more to work with people always thinking of emergencies as something crazy what about the millions of small emergencies that happen every day
Paracird bracelets due have some value but it is limited due to the small length they contain. Used frugally and wisely 6 or 8 feet of cord could prove useful in certain situations and is better than nothing. They are better served as accessories or fashion statements.
Let's say it should have been invented in the néolithic .... the paracord I mean , the knots probably existed ...
I only keep a single turn of Paratinder on my wrist. Even wet the tinder strand will ight up to start a fire.
To secure a box to a trolley I have already found it useful. U can save money buy not buying plastic bags. Simply go in to a store and grab a cardboard box. Stuff your groceries in the box and put it on the trolley. Secure it wif your paracord and drag it home. As you get older and want to save your shoulders. Save the environment!
Made two last night just for fun.
Very good video.
انت فنان وموهوب
Always useful.
I can't believe this was even a question. For survival purposes 100% useful. For my purposes also 100% useful.
I love Para cord bracelets & I love making them because I love wearing them. I don’t care about survival purposes.
Tourniquet
🤷♂️Yes 🤭 a bracelet is an embellishment!
I always was taught bracelets were for girls...
Wouldnt wear one simply because that would be a little too effeminate.
Wow, well that's a imbecilic point of view.
Newsflash before women wore heels men did.
"In early 17th century Europe, high heels were a sign of masculinity and high social status. It wasn't until the end of the century that this trend spread to women's fashion."
It isn't effeminate. Just say you don't like it. Goodness, men and their _"manliness"._
All actors were men in Shakespeare's time because women weren't allowed to act. They weren't lesser for entertaining the masses. But I'm sure if your kid or a relative who was male was in the theater you might think they're queer.
Goodness, what a life you must live putting yourself in a box and being scared of looking weak. So insecure.
The greeks agree with you, but they wore rings. They thought earrings and bracelets were to effeminate. But Egypt, Mesopotamia, Biblical times, vikings, the English, and etc don't.
"The history of men's bracelets can be traced as far back as times from the bible. Rings as well as bracelets were used as symbols of affection and love going back to the Biblical times. Also in the Bible, certain jewellery pieces like bracelets were used to pay for services done during those times."
"Historians believe that jewelry was first crafted 130,000 years ago by stringing together shells and animal teeth. In Croatia, the talons of an eagle were discovered that they believed belonged to a man and were ancient remnants of as bracelet."
@@Random_Fanatic "Goodness" is effeminate, too. 🤨🙄
@@Random_Fanatic They don't mention bracelets in Leviticus, so I don't know. Historically though, bracelets for 'fashion' are effeminately effeminate.
Damn. Wouldn't have guessed a string fashioned on a wrist challenges your masculinity.
Great vid. But what G shock are you rocking? Is it a metal square? I’m g shock collector myself
GW-B5600! Resin version that is. My go to beater watch haha.
Love the square! I’ve got few of them haha
