PinoyBushwhacker

The Philippine archipelago sits astride the typhoon belt and therefore the country is hit by numerous typhoons and storms starting in the month of July through October and sometimes extends up to December. But despite this predicament the Filipinos being ebullient and easy going people, always make the best of the situation. Like the man below resting on a makeshift hammock and a shed made out of jute sacks and nonchalantly smoking his cigarette despite the fact that his ricefield is flooded.

Paracord Bracelet

Parachute cord or any rope or cord for that matter, is one important item in survival. It can be used for making shelter - to tie down your tarp, tent etc. It can be used for making bow for hunting or bow for making fire. Paracord has inner strands that you can pull out and use as fishing line, thread for repairing your clothing or your tarp. I always have a paracord in my bag together with other essentials for survival.


One way of carrying paracord with you is to make a bracelet out of it. That way it is always in your person ready to use when you need it.

Two paracord bracelets I made with buckles I bought from eBay. It's easy to make, took me just a few minutes to make one.


This bracelet has about 7 feet of paracord in it. All you have to do is unwound the bracelet to use it.
