How to Make a Survival Bracelet (with Paracord): The EASY WAY

This was a fun one. Sure it's a tutorial on how to tie a survival paracord bracelet, but it's also a great introduction into why you might even want to bring one. Essentially, this is a fun basic skill to get you into working with paracord and if you have kids, it's a great thing to do with them. I hope this video is enjoyable to watch along with.

[@Ifonly_711Allen]

Thank you so much ! I made one in five to ten minutes for my first time and it was so much fun and it turned out amazing ! ❤

[@Fancypants1016]

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen. Simple, clear instructions make it easy to follow.

[@Lunar_Cheater]

At first it seems quite difficult, but now I see that it is really easy. You have helped me and these bracelets are great. Thank you.

[@HumblyNeil]

Great, now you just need to show us how to make survival clothes... I'm all down for the survival sweater ;-)

[@cuejoe6277]

I don’t think amazon sells 30,000 foot spools 😜

[@peoplenoodlesoup]

My 1 1/2 year old found one when we were geocaching. It was the perfect size for his wrist and he loved it. He would get so upset if anyone removed it. I just watched this and made him a new one. I love your glow in the dark looking cord! He would love a glow paracord bracelet!

[@kwikflikzyakadventures3795]

Thanks Rob, I watched The other channels with music tutorials, they never did explain how to find which knot goes next if you loose track of direction, thanks for the easy well explained tips, Cheers. This is excellent to pass onto my grandsons.

[@JoeyRetro]

Very nice! I just got one pre-made with a survival buckle (compass, whistle and flint). Great tutorial on how to make another.

[@patjones4250]

You skipped how you started the new colors. Did you knot them to the buckle?

[@zachbennett6860]

Made my first bracelet thanks to you, awesome video thank you very much

[@chris7503]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing this. Greets from Germany 🇩🇪

[@coriolisfilms4411]

That is great Rob. Really well done. Maybe a bit more on the uses of paracord would be practical, but super well done.

[@amythompson2752]

the *uses* of paracord would be a topic for another video (good idea! maybe there already is one? I haven't yet searched high and low on the the StoneAgeMan channel, but I'm thinking about doing so)...the video above of how-to-craft-a-survivial-bracelent is very well presented, so I might check out the channel. i love that a dude is CRAFTING!!

[@reme7]

Beautiful. I want that to make for friends this. Thanks a lot for great video

[@Palahume]

Technique starts at 3:06

[@cactusqltr]

I will be making a bazillion bracelets for all my grandchildren!! Great birthday presents!

[@zainabbebarsbebars7401]

You make one of my best things that I like to do it!

[@UntamedScience]

Thanks Zainab

[@shonfeliciano8012]

Hi, I would like to Thank you so much for your videos. I finally learned how to make a Paracord cobra stitch bracelet. Doesn't look perfect, just need to learn how to keep the knots tight. But it's a big step for me. Thank you.

[@sanaullaharif]

Great job

[@thomasveale4503]

Hi, this survival bracelet is very very useful and i use it heaps :)

[@LuisInPalmdale]

Do you have a video of how to use this bracelet in the field?

[@user-mv4lc2on7l]

Excellent 😊

[@andyselarom4462]

Cool!

[@Veptis]

Well, I guess I have to read the book to figure out how to undo it and redo it in the wild using the shorter ends.

[@Jennifer-yl8hm]

thank you very much

[@markgatz6127]

I’d like to attach a watch to my paracord wrist ban, any suggestions on how to do that? Thanks.

[@TheOtherMontoya]

Thanks Rob, I'm gonna work on one of these with my boy!

[@breekeyes5673]

thank you😁

[@viviancovington7813]

Nice!

[@zachariahpoltergeist4516]

What is that metal tool you use to flatten out the ends, and where can i get one?

[@diegoc5473]

Quick question, what size bucle did you use for this bracelet?

[@j-sroy1166]

thank you sire

[@shadoza]

Dude that's hilarious. You cut the video to zip up your pants! I was just given my first survival bracelet. Thanks for the tutorial and tips. I thought they were just a fashion accessory.

[@kamiellacayse8311]

If you have a normal wrist how much rope would you have like how long?

[@UntamedScience]

Normal wrists are between 6-8 inches. You need about a foot of cordage for every inch. Starting with 10’ means you’ll have plenty.

[@The78bluedevils]

How much footage for a belt of 38" waist

[@timnewling6187]

You don’t show how to introduce the second colour cord?

[@C_Dawggg]

I just can’t do the 1st knot can anybody help?

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

Can this technique be used to make a “ Survival “ belt? With idea that you’d actually have more cordage if needed. Of course then you wouldn’t have a belt to hold your pants up, so kids only try this at home .

[@UntamedScience]

Of course

[@naomiyallknowwho6345]

I went to Hobby Lobby today and they had a bunch of 550 cord and clips for a couple bucks

[@UntamedScience]

Awesome.

[@amberaderholt7526]

What was the name of the guy u said u follow? Ford something? I think. Where u said paracord came from

[@designbysean]

Boardparacord he said

[@user-ql2ml3io3m]

Adventure guides

[@chriscroteau4793]

I do the same thing with my keys! In fact I added an extra buckle near the key ring to be able to quickly detach the keys while leaving the carabiner and the rest of the lanyard on my belt

[@UntamedScience]

That’s a great idea!

[@Egyptologist777]

Just make sure mine has computer chord inside. hehehe

[@clemgarcia9880]

how do you change colors after the first knot

[@UntamedScience]

There isn't a ton of force on the paracord so you can just melt a new color on and continue tying.

[@jameswagner2505]

550 paracord means there's 5 strands of 50 lb test cord. Not 7...

[@Venom-nk8nd]

[@shrihancarreviews3728]

5 minutes late

[@john.see.my.youtube]

Dude , I was fallowing along to your first bracelet I was doing pretty mediocre to but then out of nowhere. You change it up to a totally different bracelet pattern then it had 3 bright green laces drop in the middle and a black was also used . It was nothing like the original. I had to start over useing someone else's video ! FYI maybe I'm not the only person this has happened to useing your content I think you could divide up the different bracelet into separate videos and then u might be ok js ..ok good day.
