I should have posted this on the " earn extra money" section but with all the natural disasters lately in our country like typhoons, earthquakes and the " habagat" (monsoon rains)I decided to post it here. Are you familiar or do you own a paracord bracelet? I know this has been popular in countries like the U.S.(especially preppers) and China but seems not to be in our country.
Well just to give an overview, paracord bracelets are actually bracelets made from parachute cords. they are very strong cords and have a braking point of 250 kg about 500 pounds, they have hundreds if not thousands of uses in an emergency situation like tourniquets,emergency shelters, life lines, etc... and the inner strands can be used for fishing, sewing etc....that can be unraveled in a cool and beautiful bracelet
I made extra money selling these bracelets ( wont give details cause I know it is against Mylot guidelines)so would limit discussion to merits of owning one, so do you know or are familiar with them?
To our foreign friends, are you also familiar with paracords? I know U.S. and Chinese know this but the rest, would you be interested to own one in case of an emergency especially for travelers? here are some pictures of what i made

Yeah, especially the Mil.spec. made in the U.S.A. supplied by contractors, they are true rated 550 ( snapping point is 550 lbs.
.), real 7 strand nylon inside. These are still one of the few Made in good ol U.S. of A that's built to last, the only thing they could be a bit pricey than those made for civies or original Chinese ( not fake) alternatives.

hi, actually i made it's not only to make extra income but to make Filipinos aware that you could have access to a strong cord and at the same time be fashionable by wearing a survival bracelet especially with all the calamities that had befallen us lately, my pictures failed to upload when i made the discussion so will try again and see for your self.

okay aries, thank you very much for responding and prevents this discussion to be another one with O responses, seems like Filipinos are not ready to be ready LOL! So for your effort I decided to give you one for free, yes Free ! , just add me as friend and PM me the size of your wrist plus details on where I would send the bracelet, the one in the picture is done with dessert camo but if you want other colors just let me know, you do not have to pay me anything! ( i say what i do and do what i say say,at least that is what my late dad told me and hope i do not violate guidelines) Good luck and let me know. again I would like to give you a survival bracelet for free anywhere you are in the Philippines, congratz! just pm me

Hi louievill! Actually I was curious about the word paracord that is why Iopened the topic. But when i was looking for the picture, there was none, I just though my cp I am using to participate is playing a trick on me. But I responded. Today when I logged in, yeah you really forget the picture. Thank you.
