Paracord Survival Bracelet

This über-functional accessory received a full page in the March 2009 issue of Wired magazine with Adam Rogers writing, "Imagine if your arm ornament could transform into 20 feet of 550-pound-test rope.... Sure, you can find instructions for knotting your own on the Net, but why not let SurvivalStraps.com do it for you? If you buy from them, after you use your backwoods bling to crest Half Dome (or, more likely, tie that Ikea purchase to the roof of your Jetta), they'll reweave it gratis — just include the harrowing story of how it was used."

900 color combinations.

$21.95–$24.95.
