Over here we are big fans of Bear Grylls. We’ve seen several of his shows and are always looking forward to watch some new adventures of his. Patrik really likes Bear’s survival bracelet so he decided to make his own version of it. Well, Patrik’s bracelet is mostly a fashion thing but I think if he would need an extra cord in the woods, this 7 feet long paracord would be handy as well.
Yesterday we went to Michaels to get the stuff he needed for it. He ended up with orange and gray paracord and a little pack of buckles.
Then he found this awesome and a very easy to follow video for a cobra design and we just followed it.
Within a few minutes the bracelet was done. It looks really cool, it’s easy to make and it might come handy during a hike. You never know when you might need an extra piece of a cord.
The most important thing is there is one happy boy.

Wow that is really neat. I think Michael and his friends might like making one too!! Thanks for the idea!

You are welcome, Wendy! They are very easy to make and were a cheap project. We bought the two strings and the buckles at Michael and used their 30% off coupon, so we paid around $7. And you make a lot of them from the one string. We did the 5 feet as the guy said in the video but ended up with a big leftover so I think next time we are going to use just 3.5 ft.
Have fun if you decide to make them!

Very neat, this would be right up Darien’s alley. I will have to show him this one.

I bet Darien would like it. He can have a quite time with his brothers and daddy while you are working ;)
