Survival Straps’ Bracelets to the Rescue
Throw Me a Rope! I’m Drowning!
It’s not exactly the newest product, but Survival Straps bracelets ranks high on my list of jewelry I would actually wear. I find jewelry pretty boring. It’s great if you want to make a fashion statement, but I want my jewelry to do something (like hold 8 gb of data). Thanks to Survival Straps now I can wear a trendy looking bracelet that can also unravel to become a 16 foot rope. This is not any kind of rope either. This is 550 military grade parachute cord rope (550 “paracord”)–Rope that is light and can hold up to 550 lbs of tension…enough to pull a truck (see video below skip to 2:59).
You might be thinking, how useful could rope be? I know from my experience rope is one of those things that you never think about until you end up needing it and of course when that happens you never any on hand.
Situations where the Survival Strap bracelet rope could be good for:
- Car accidents. Hood doesn’t stay down, bumper fell off, door won’t stay shut, etc… unravel the bracelet and you are a hero
- Saving lives. You see someone drowning in the river or hanging on the edge of a cliff…take off the bracelet and throw out the rope, once again you are a hero
- Restraining bad guys. Someone breaks into your house, you subdue them, but you need to go call for help…tie them up with the bracelet rope
The nice thing also is if you end up unraveling your rope and using it to restrain bad guys (or any other situation) Survival Straps will replace your rope bracelet free of charge. Write to them how you used it, send them whatever is left of your bracelet, and they’ll send you a new one (shipping charges still apply). If you want to see how other people used their bracelets check out their “In the Wild” stories (one man used it to tie his Christmas Tree to his car). All of this useful goodness for 20 bucks.
