Friendly Swede Paracord Bracelet with Fire Starter
The Swedes. Always lookin' out, always glad to do it. My favorite friendly Scandinavians made this paracord bracelet out of 16' of 350 spec nylon. Five different color choices are braided into a sweet adjustable wrist wrap for easy wear and transport when things are going along fine. And when "fine" turns to "deep donkey dung" the bracelet unravels in 60 seconds or less for tying up shelter, tying down supplies, tying off injuries, or tying the bad guy to a tree.
The Friendly Swede paracord bracelet is an "extra beefy" model that also incorporates a fire starter into its eye and clasp ends. Secure the cylindrical block just over your thumbnail and use the ring's serrated teeth to swipe down hard and fast for the spark.
The bracelet tightens to fit wrists between 9" and 7" in circumference. Not diameter. Thanks to reader Nick for correcting my previous typo.
