Chapter 1- What is a Paracord Bracelet and what is Required to Make One?
A paracord, also known as aparachute cord, is a multipurpose cord used by the military and outdoorsportsmen. It was first used in parachute suspension lines during the SecondWorld War. However, after the war it became popular in civilian use as well.Made of nylon, it is constructed with several interwoven strands. With a testof 550 pounds, the paracord has seven braided inner strands that can be removedfor other purposes. In the US military, the cord is not only popular withparatroopers. Its versatility opens it up for use in many situations. Forexample, the inner threads can be used for sewing, dental floss, as ties forsecuring items and a lot more. It's an incredibly light cord, hence itsutilization over the board.
One great use for the paracord hasbeen the creation of paracord bracelets. Also referred to as survivalbracelets, many outdoor hobbyists and professionals swear by them. With theirdurability and usage, it isn't any surprise as to why. The nylon constructionkeeps bracelet immune to mold and other weathering by the elements. In additionto its durability, it can also be seen as a fashionable piece. Many people whodesire the paracord for survival also enjoy the look of the braided bracelet.Whether made with one color or two, the paracord bracelet is gaining popularityin the mainstream as well as with outdoor sports. A few common uses include:

To put together a tent or othershelter
Mending broken shoelaces
Used as a pace counter
As a tourniquet
For netting and traps
The options are limitless. In thewild, there is no way of predicting what kind of trouble might befall a hiker,hunter or fisherman. A strong rope is clearly a must have in any survival kit.One of the reasons the survival bracelets are so handy is that you don't haveto take up room in your pack for extra rope. Not to mention, the material is solightweight that it isn't a burden to have and when needed, it can be unraveledinto several feet. The benefits far outweigh the faults. In fact, one of theonly faults in its usage is the elasticity; depending on what you want to usethe cord for. Most of the time, it's a benefit and not a drawback.
Of course, given its availability,you do have to be careful purchasing paracord.
