They drew first blood,
not me...
Help is at hand – quite literally too. For these ingenious bracelets, no outdoor job is too complex. They cunningly disguise up to 18 feet of coiled, military-grade parachute cord that can be put to a thousand uses. Broken tent? Fixed. Dog gone loose? Tethered. Car boot broken? Closed it. You get the idea.

Originally developed for use as suspension lines in parachutes, this cord is used by armies the world over – even getting an outing to space on the Shuttle and being used while astronauts fixed the Hubble Space Telescope. We suspect that the multi-billion pound astronomical instrument isn’t exactly held together with paracord, but it certainly helped out.
Cleverly braided

This is the first time I have bought this bracelet, it looks very stylish, I am hoping it comes in handy one day. I think my hubby will like it as much has I do, its a early birthday gift for him.Mrs Gail J Gray, MARLOW, Buckinghamshire,England - Jun '09
I haven't had the opportunity to use the cord for survival but I can say they are pretty cool. My only complaint is that they are a bit big for my tiny wrists but what sort of complaint is that about survival. I would say get one, you can always find use for it.Louise, Bedford - Jun '09
Always be prepared, and look good! The survival strap is not only cool looking, but it's solid as well. Feels satisfyingly chunky on the wrist, and it is vaguely comforting knowing I'll be able to secure my tarp for shelter in an emergency, or abseil gracefully out of a 1st story window rather than just plummet onto my rear.Alex, Sittingbourne - Jun '09
These are a great idea! Just wanted to reply to the people asking about putting them back together. It can be done, and with not too much bother as long as you've got the patience. You'll find a good tutorial on this blog: http://stormdranespbtutorial. Blogspot. Com/
Hopefully this will let people get more out of this product if they have unraveled it to show someone :).Alex Hayes, Oxford - Oct '09
Firebox says: Thanks Alex!
Ok, I guess the posts above should have already answered this, but - is it definitely just 'single use'? can you confirm that once you unravel it you can't put it 'back together again'?
i think it's pretty cool and am tempted, but 22quid just to have a bit of rope near by, once, seems a bit steep. Shoelaces break - hobble. Tent line breaks - hotel....Jeff, London - Sep '09
Firebox says: Its one use yes. It would be a big mission to put this back into bracelet form.
The braiding method used looks like a 'Portuguese Sinnet' or 'Solomon Bar'. There are a handful of videos available on the internet teaching you how to do this, and it doesn't seem to be very difficult. I dare say you could re-braid it if you had the time and patience!Ben, England - Aug '09
Will be getting one as soon as pay day arrives, wanted to say. . If you can do square knots surely theres nothing wrong with re-doing it, tho not to be used for safety purposes second time around.Allassandr, Telford - Aug '09
What is the breaking weight? How much tension can it withstand? Another of your gadgets I would have an every day use for if it has the right spec.Fat Bearstard, Kent, UK - Jul '09

This Is The Coolest Thing I Have Ever Bought :)
Just For Fun I Unwounded It Practically All The Way Just To See What It looked Like And I Can Tell You Cool, It Looked COOL !!!!!
I Would Reccomend It 100% Its Great Even If Your Not Wild And Adventurous!
But With This You Will Look Like That! LOL :D.Garry Bacon, Paignton, Devon :) - Jul '09
You can makes these at home if you have the cord, time and patience so theoretically you could remake it, but if you could do that why not make it to begin with- this is basicaly the premade rubberband ball all over again.David, England - Jun '09
