Paracord Survival Bracelet with Compass, Ferro Rod and Whistle

This paracord bracelet is one of the stuff I bought after Christmas from eBay as a gift to myself. I liked it because it has the 3 things I always carry with me when I take a short hike or bike my favorite trail - compass, ferro rod and whistle. I thought having a spare of the essential things I need for the unexpected would add to my peace of mind and self-confidence.


The Paracord Survival Bracelet.


The compass is relatively accurate.


The ferro rod throws sufficient sparks.


But the whistle doesn't work. No matter how hard I blew on it all I hear is the sound of my breath, no whistle at all.

I informed the eBay seller about it and requested a replacement of the whistle. I am still waiting for the replacement to arrive. I hope the one I will receive will work well.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

P51 Can Opener

Used and unused P51 can opener stamped "US Shelby Co" bought from Amazon. Worn out after using it less than 20 times. See arrow in the photo above.

It doesn't work anymore. What is this opener made of - aluminum? Used to be steel, I know.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
