    That looks excellent! Probably the only thing I've seen where ACU looks good!
    Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.

    You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.

    Also, I'm now leaving 1/8" extra in the loop and the attach cord for the button. this allows a "looser fit" to start; but if the wearer desires more snug, a bit of the loop can be pulled out (pull the end with the steel), then the end can be snipped and burned again at the steel.

    tan, blends in a bit better due to less contrast

    I've got the new scrapers for the BSB bracelets in part because I needed a new supplier and in another part because I wanted to address some of the best input I got on my original design. They are a slightly larger (1/8" wider and just under 1/2" longer than the original). This will allow a more realistic size palette on which to have a local shop engrave personal information. Also more to work with for those wishing to put a cutting edge on one side. The finish is polished which would be more effective for use as a reflective signal. They scrape firesteels every bit as good as the original which is the most important factor!

    Also, I've acquired green jute. This picture shows it with a black bracelet. I've got my eye on more jute colors so I can have one for each outfit (joke!)

    Have you considered making a whole belt out of paracord? It's multi function and will allow you to carry much more cordage.

    I wove a belt from paracord. Have a total of almost 100 feet in it.

    Also have a welded steel buckle on it that would serve as a toggle or biener. The tongue of the belt would make a good awl.

    I also sewed a leather tongue on the end with the belt holes punched in. When I sandwiched the paracord between the leather layers I included an exacto-knife blade.
    If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?

    You can wear a dress around the house, but as Dave Canterbury would say, "If you are going into the swamp, leave your skirt at the house"
    I'm liking my bracelet, but gotta be really desperate to take it apart, thanks....Paracordist.

    I have made a few survival braclets and never thought of this. Really a cool idea. I have made bracelets using differents size cat collars to wrap the 550 cord around. that way the closers are already there. Just an idea to kick around
