Paracord Survival Bracelet Tutorial

Like the original cobra stitch paracord survival bracelet tutorial, this video teaches you to make a survival bracelet using 550 pound paracord, and using a cobra stitch, except this bracelet uses two cord colors instead of one. Paracord is an extremely versatile survival tool, and the bracelet easily disassembles into one long piece of cord. The bracelet is held together with secure plastic buckle. You can also use this technique to make dog collars, leashes, gun straps, bag straps, guitar straps, belts, and more!

    Appreciate free shipping. Clasps & beads are waaaay overpriced. Several tems are out of stock. Don’t appreciate offers to purchase random items when trying to checkout. The subscription kits are confusing. Monthly is self explanatory. $55 per month to receive 1 kit every 3 months??

Always something GREAT being offered!! I love the offers at the end of my cart purchase. It usually has something that I missed or just want looking for - but, I need in my life LOL
