11 Essentials On How To Make A Survival Bracelet
To make an effective survival bracelet, you'll need to have enough items to keep you alive when in a survival scenario. These may include fire starters, food-gathering material, and even a compass for navigating your way back.
Include these items on your EDC paracord bracelet and be sure you're covered for the rainy days!
1 Paracord
Number one on the list is the paracord. The bracelet should be built with it, 'cause it's made of high-strength material and has a multitude of uses from food gathering to making a shelter.
2 Fishing Line
When stuck in the field, your primary source of food could be fish. Packing fishing gear into your EDC bracelet could be your lifesaver.
3 Fish Hooks
What good is a fishing line without hooks? If you plan on including a fishing line, you better add some hooks as well! Throw two, maybe three of them in. You might get yourself in a pinch and run out on hooks.
4 Whistle
The noise emitted by the whistle will let animals know that you're present. To rescuers, it's a great help in getting your position and locating you through the strength of the sound and where it's coming from.
5 Compass
A compass will save you the trouble of using unreliable natural compasses. I suggest you get ones that are waterproof and made of high-quality material.
6 Surgical Tubing
Aside from fishing and trapping, you could also hunt animals by making a bushcraft slingshot. I've tried making one with some surgical tubing, and it proved to be very efficient.
7 Fire Steel and Striker Blade
Fire is one of the most basic needs of a survivor. To thrive in the desolate areas of the forest, you'll need some fire-making tools the fire steel and striker blade
8 Tinder
In case you get stuck in a very damp location, finding tinder could be a very tough task, especially if you have very little knowledge about the area's flora. Waterproof some tinder and include it in the bracelet!
9 Mirror
The sunlight reflected from a mirror is said to be a thousand times brighter than that of a candlelight. Signaling from far distances will be very easy using a mirror and Morse code.
10 Wire
For catching small game, a copper wire could be very helpful in making a deadfall contraption.
11 Wire Saw
I've tried using a good quality wire saw for cutting small wood trunks and animal bone, and I'd have to say it's pretty effective. Although you might have to exert a little more effort than using a plain handsaw, it'll have to do when in distress.
