This website has been a huge favorite of mine. I have really enjoyed reading and wanted to contribute. I am sure this topic has been covered before, but a rehash won't hurt.
I saw a "Survival Bracelet" at a gun show locally and set out trying to make my own. After several hours of research I stumbled..literally onto this site from an American soldier that shows step by step how to make one. Really easy way to carry 10 ft of para cord. I've made several using the button method and gave them to like minded indivduals for Christmas. Big hit. Hope this link works.
