I'm just sharing ideas here. Not trying to sell. Thanks for comments though. The steep is in with a knob of burned paracord. I'm testing this as the low profile alternative to a knot

Great design and work Kevin! If you ever decide to sell these bracelets, I'm in for a couple.

Here it is without the scraper. Checkout the baby spear fishing on the food jar LOL.

That seems easy enough. Do you weave in the jute after weaving the paracord, or during?

Ok, I'm gonna call this creation the B.S.B. (Best Survival Bracelet); "others are just B.S." ha ha ha no offense, it just came to me LOL.

I've got the perfect scraper - just arrived today. My bud from Artisian Attributes has send me a second generation scraper that more than addresses all my comments on the first one. I was prepared to sacrifice scraping ability for the "look" as long as I could indeed start a fire with it. I'm stoked that not only does this scraper look great on the bracelet, it actually generates sparks as good as any scraper I've used before!

I stripped down the original bracelet of jute and scraper. Rather than miss an opportunity to film; I create this video showing you how to "recharge" the B.S.B. (add fresh jute and reattach scraper after a use). Obviously, this is not intended to be your primary firesteel and scraper - you won't be doing this after every hike or camping trip I HOPE!

My next video will be showing the creation of fire with nothing else but this bracelet; no tools, no knife.

LOOK AT THE SCHEMATIC A FEW POSTS AGO; LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. GO MAKE ONE. SURVIVE!
