There are a million and one situations you could find yourself in where having 15-20 feet of rope would not only come in handy, but could save your life. If you’re out on the trail, you probably have some in your pack or truck, but in everyday life you can’t walk around carrying a bundle of emergency rope over your shoulder. That’s where Survival Straps come in.
A family business started in 2007, Survival Straps weaves up to 16 feet of 550 test, military spec paracord into a unique bracelet you can customize in about 50,000 different color combinations. (You can also show your college or military pride with their licensed straps. Or buy the Wounded Warrior Project strap and they’ll donate 50% of the proceeds to the cause.) Not the bracelet-wearing type? They’ll weave some life-saving cord into a key fob, watch strap or lanyard for you.
If you find yourself in an emergency situation — need to fashion a tourniquet, tie a shelter to a tree, lash that new grill to your car, replace a broken boot-lace — just unravel your Survival Strap and put it into action. The stainless steel shackle closure can even be put to good use, depending on your situation.
And you don’t have to be an expert weaver to turn your used rope back into a bracelet. Because they don’t want you to hesitate to put the cord to use, just send in your story and some pics of how Survival Strap got you out of a bind, and they’ll send you a replacement, free. Now we can finally make good on our scout promise to always be prepared.
