So this company called Survival Straps makes some cool shit out of paracord (bracelets, watch straps, lanyards, etc). My stepdad has a few black bracelets (of course) and I thought it was badass! I guess if you are stranded somewhere you can actually use the cord for survival shit and save your ass. Since I’m not a Navy Seal I’d still be fucked paracord or not but hey I watch Man Vs. Wild so maybe it will come in handy.

Anyway here is the one I got on my girlie wrist:

The color is Navy Blue and ACU Camo. Here is the product shot of it from their site:

It’s a great little product and you should check out their site. They have a shitload of colors, clasp options (a plastic clip clasp, which I got, and a small little shackle), and sizes: wide, normal, and smaller for the ladies and kids (or for bitch wrists like mine, I did opt for the normal dude one anyway). I like the plastic clip clasp because its easy to put on and take off. The shackle is cool but screwing it in can be a kind of a bitch and the one my stepdad gave me I lost the screw piece the second time I tried to put it back on. It fell out of my hand as I tried to screw it in and it rolled off the table and into the floor heater vent. So I was fucked! But that’s because I’m a retard. I’m sure in a true survival situation the shackle would come in more handy. I’m not knocking the shackle either, it looks bad ass! Just know if you are retarded like me you may have a little issue taking it on and off yourself. Prob not though, I’m sure it’s just me. Anyway that’s why when I ordered I opted for the clip clasp. It’s a little stiff at first but the one my stepdad wears often has softened up a lot and is actually comfy (btw all the ones he has and has ordered he uses the shackle). I don’t often shill products (wait yeah I do) but I really thought this product needed some props and some attention. Also make sure you really measure your wrist correctly. Thankfully I did and this fits PERFECT!! I used a piece of dental floss wrapped it around my wrist then measured how long it was. I guess I did it correctly because this thing fits perfect. They caution do not add anything to the measurement because they do that in the process anyway. You can also shrink it some (per the directions that come with it) and since it is cord I would assume you could also tug on it to stretch it out a little, esp when it softens up a little.

Anyway I have to admit it makes my little bitch wrist look small but fuck it, it’s something different other then a fuckin’ Livestrong yellow rubber band and who knows this may even come in handy one day.
