Survival Bracelets!

Learn to make a paracord survival bracelet.

Why paracord? If you were ever stranded on a deserted island, you can take this bracelet apart and have a super strong cord to make a shelter, build traps, hang your food in trees, fish, and more! How strong is paracord? Well, it's used with parachutes, so very strong...but I have included a video to demonstrate the strength of this versatile crafting material. We will also learn to tie some knots.
