    Default Survival Bracelet

    Made this survival bracelet last night following the Paracordist's tutorial and patterned after his "Best Survival Bracelet". Woodland camo paracord with jute twine woven through and a ferro rod toggle. I didn't have anything for a scraper but am pretty sure I could improvise one if needed. It's surprising when you drill through the ferro rod that it doesn't spark at all compared to when you saw through it. Anyway, here are some pics.







    Also made these "fids" that make weaving the cordage so much easier. They are brass tubing with one end crimped and filed to a blunt point with threads tapped into the other end to accept the cordage.

    That's an ingenious design. I wonder if it would take away from it to include a button compass or watch? Great work!

    well done...wanted to change mine some from kevins so did this one
    it is really a bitch to drill holes in fero rods without cracking and breaking them. Kevin sells them along with his scrapers. You did a nice job on yours and you are right...scrapers aren't that hard to come by. I had mine engraved so that is the only advantage.

    That's what I want to do, with my Medic Alert badge. Square off one edge to use as a striker, too.
