I found these bracelets via pinkseersucker and I think they may possibly be the most awesome accessory ever. In case you need convincing, read the description below (I bolded the important parts):

“Our Regular Survival Bracelets are made with up to 16’ of 550# military spec paracord. They contain approximately 1.75’ of paracord for every inch (wrist size) ordered. In an emergency situation, you can unravel the bracelet and deploy the paracord for use. If you do use your Survival Bracelet, simply send what is left back to us, along with your harrowing story of survival, and we will make you a new one, free of charge (shipping charges will apply). Check out our “In the Wild” page to see pictures and stories about how some of our customers are using their SurvivalStraps.
Whether you are hiking in the woods, stranded on an island, at the range, climbing a mountain, or running errands around town, you will always have several feet of 550 lb. test paracord with you at all times. Oh yeah, they also look incredible! And since they come in over 900 different color combinations, you shouldn’t have a problem finding something you like! Our Survival Bracelets come with either a tough plastic side release buckle or a marine grade stainless steel shackle for attachment purposes. It’s your choice. If you are looking for a very unique, stylish, and functional piece of gear, that is great for everyday wear, this one is for you. We look forward to making you one.”
WHO DOESN’T NEED 16 FEET OF MILITARY GRADE PARACORD ON THEM AT ALL TIMES? I bet my boy Bear Grylls has a couple of these bad boys (or at least WISHES he did. On several occasions). I can’t wait to read these harrowing stories of adventure.
I happen to know an adventurous boy that would just love to have a very unique, stylish, and functional piece of gear just like this (due mainly in part to his unhealthy obsession with aformentioned Bear Grylls). I see a killer stocking stuffer…
