YOUR SURVIVAL SECRET WEAPON Whether you are camping, hiking, fishing or hunting the paracord bracelet has many functions. Fire is created using its fine inner strands as tinder and using the fire starter to spark the tinder into flames! The scraper/knife can be used to cut paracord string, small twigs or scrape off bark. The whistle can spook the bears or alert nearby people of your location. You will never hike south on a northbound hike again with the embedded compass. The paracord string itself has many uses such as fishing line, dental floss, tinder, clothes line, tourniquet, rope for a bear bag, sewing material even shoelaces and many more.
