Post four of today, and probably the last one!! (but no promises)
Have you ever been in a tricky situation, where you think, "hmmm what I need to get me out of this is about 3 metres of strong cord"?
no?
oh well you are obviously not a 10 year old boy then!!
As soon as I saw these bracelets on Calvin's blog I immediatly knew I would have to make one for my eldest son. The idea is that in an emergency situation (such as the finding the perfect tree from which to hang a rope swing) you can unravel the bracelet and use the parachute cord.
I immediatly got onto ebay and ordered 100ft of desert camo parachute cord, and 10 10mm curved buckles.
I got the instructions from here
I ordered my cord from here
and my buckles from here
I thoroughly recommend these sellers. They both provided excellent service.
I liked these bracelets so much that the one shown is actually one I made for myself. so next time I am in that survival situation, I'll be just fine!!
well, this is a new one me lol interesting though!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I *heart* this bracelet!! I definitely need one myself - for all those survival situations I regularly get myself into rather than fashion purposes, naturally! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, never seen these before but lovin' yours Joanne!

I saw this on Calvin's blog too but couldn't get the links to work. Was it difficult to make? I fancy having a go for my grandchildren
ReplyDeleteThe word verification I have to type in is 'uncoping' LOL - obviously it needs one of these parachute cord bracelets!

ReplyDeleteWow Joanne that looks great! I love that desert camo colour, a nice natural colour that a boy of girl could wear, in fact my girls love this colour above all of them.
