Paracord has many uses and should be considered a basic necessity to carry into any possible survival situation or even a camping trip to your local State Park.
This small bracelet takes only a few minutes to braid, makes a fashion statement, and is a handy way to carry 5 feet of parachute cord with you anywhere you go. Hopefully it never happens but should you ever find the need for the cord it only takes a moment to unbraid the bracelet and presto you have cord for your needs.
I followed JD's YouTube Video at Tying it All Together to create this Adjustable Bracelet and while this doesn't maximize the length of paracord it is an easy beginner project and should not take you long to learn. This is a simple figue eight braid with enough cord left on each end to tie overhand knots around the opposite end thus creating the adjustable slide that brings the bracelet together.
I started with about 5 1/2 feet of cord and began the braid near one end. Once the braid was completed I tied the overhand knots that create the slip fit, trimmed the ends, and it was complete.
