Chad, why are they called survival bracelets?

They're useful when you need a bit of strong cord for surviving an emergency. Such as for a tourniquet, animal trap, mending some gear, lashing some sticks together for a shelter, etc. You just unbraid it and you have 10 or so feet of cord.

These are usually made from paracord 550, which means they can hold upto 550lbs. thats alot of strength on something which resembles a bit of string. have to be careful though, as alot of manufacturers in china have opted for a nylon centre oppose from the traditional kevlar which reduced its breaking point to around 330lbs. still rather impressive, but keep in mind your bracelet may only support 300lbs
