SURVIVAL STRAPS SURVIVAL BRACELET
TESTER INFORMATION
I grew up camping in Pennsylvania but most of my camping and all of my backpacking has been in the last 2 years in North Carolina. I really got excited about backpacking when my son started to get interested in it. I do some car camping but most trips will be backpacking with my son for 1-3 nights. I use a tent as my typical shelter. I try to get out about 12 times a year. I like to keep my pack under 35 lb (15.88 kg) and hope to adopt some ultralight skills and equipment.
INITIAL REPORT
PRODUCT INFORMATION & SPECIFICATIONS
Manufacturer: Tough Gear Inc. INITIAL IMPRESSIONS
These bracelets look fantastic. They are made to wear every day as jewelry and to deploy in a survival situation. They seem to be very well put together. The bracelets are put together with a very tight cobra weave. There are other weave patterns that I like the look of better, but if there are really 18 to 26 feet of cord in these I can see why they use this pattern. The bracelets that I received are made of black 550 paracord. I have seen and made bracelets by using multiple strands of paracord but this one appears to use one continous piece of paracord. I can't wait to take one apart and use it. READING THE INSTRUCTIONS
Each bracelet comes with a small owners manual. The owners manual starts by congratulating you on your purchase. TRYING IT OUT Both bracelets fit well. They are a little on the large size but I know they will shrink when they get wet. They are comfortable with nothing rubbing the wrong way. SUMMARY
I can't wait to see if these things are as good in practice as they are in design and quality. They look like they will be everything the manufacture promises.
