Uses of Paracord Bracelets: Thomas Salzano

4/24/2018

 
It all started as a functional gear for soldiers, firefighters and trekkers. And now, paracord bracelets are becoming a mainstream fashion now. Thomas Salzano, a Newark, New Jersey based hairstylist, traveler, photographer and blogger brings some amazing uses of paracord bracelets.
Paracord bracelets are made from paracord 550, also called 550-cord or type-iii paracord is primarily used in parachute suspension lines. The number 550 denotes a static weight capacity of 550 pounds, or 250 kilos.
A paracord bracelet can give you 9 to 11 feet of paracord when undone, depending on your wrist size. A side release buckle can also be used as a survival gear if it has a flint, a whistle and a compass.

The buckle aside, here are a couple of things you can do with a paracord bracelet:
  1. Undo your bracelet to get a single paracord. Use it to create traps for hunting small animals when out in the wild.
  2. Paracord can also be used as a fishing line in muddy water.
  3. You can use the paracord to make a bowstring and start a fire.
  4. In case of an injury, paracord can be sued as a tourniquet to stop severe bleeding.
  5. In case of a fracture, you can use your paracord as a lash material to pad and hold a makeshift splint.
  6. Undone bracelet can also become a spare shoelace, a belt or a set of suspenders.
  7. The bracelet in itself is strong enough to hold a sapling tree with another. You can use the hoop as you tent’s backbone. Hang a tarp and secure it firmly on the ground.
  8. You can repair your torn tent with the paracord’s sheath, core material.
Thomas Salzano reminds readers that 550 pounds is the static weight capacity of the 550 paracord. Don’t use it to climb mountains. Not meant for this purpose, he says.
