Why Bloggers Need Paracord Survival Bracelets


The paracord survival bracelet.  Very hot, very trendy and worn by 
hikers, skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers and all outdoorsy types.

My husband David loves to make these.  It is his crafting past time.
He's not a crafty type of guy, but he is a "jock".  He has told me about
all of the practical outdoor uses for this bracelet.  

Now, I don't envision having to make a tourniquet.  Hopefully I will not
be hanging food up in a tree away from bears any time soon.  And I am not 
planning on building a temporary shelter tying twigs together in the near
future.  But ...



I could imagine wearing one of these when out "junking"
to tie down garage sale or thrift shop finds in the back of a
vintage pick-up truck like this one ...



I would love to be driving this baby!



But it's amazing how much stuff I can cram into the back of my Jeep, so I
could use the paracord to tie it down.




Or I could use the paracord to hang up a vintage quilt.



Or to hang a hammock between two trees.

Or ...



to wear them just because they are cute!
There you are David ~ the reasons why bloggers need 
paracord survival bracelets.


I am happily joining ~


Bentley is having lots of fun romping through the snow drifts
after our big snowfall yesterday.  He's part Yorkie, part snow bunny!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  7. silly me - - - they would NOT help me survive because in order to USE them you'd have to take them apart, and I wouldn't WANT to take my bracelet apart.

  9. If you think hard enough that something will work, it most likely will. Regardless, he is keeping his mind and hands busy.

  12. What fun! How about one for Bentley's paw - tho if he is like my sweet granddog, he might chew it up too fast, so maybe not :) Have a lovely week.
