Two Dollar Survival Paracord Bracelet with Fire Starter REVIEW

[@Alext3557]

it's a damn survival piece, not made for fashion statement. wtf

[@theyframedme]

Amazon sells paracord survival bracelets similar to this with a compass. For those who are unaware of the usage or how to operate a bracelet like this. 1. The striker is designed to be pulled out and used to strike the flint rod (faras), to many people leave the striker in and try to strike it, pull striker out and strike it. You risk unraveling paracord when you continuously strike the rod with the striker in it's holder. 2. The ones that offer the small compass, the compass is a "tap top" meaning when you are in a stationary position with your compass, tap the glass to ensure that the compass is moving freely for an accurate reading. 3. The paracord can be used to make an emergency tent, fishing (yes you can buy one that comes with a fishing hook), repelling, hoisting, etc etc. 4. Has built in whistle, used for situations when you are injured/lost/communicating and need to signal for help or just signal information to another party. You can also get them with a knife, flashlight, thermometer, etc.

[@toomanyaccounts]

the striker on several is not able to taken out without damaging the striker

[@theyframedme]

@@toomanyaccounts Some Chinese made and thai made paracord bracelets do not follow the patton design and manufacturing instructions. Do to poor quality the striker they put in is too wide and they heat them and press them in ny force, melting the plastic inside the striker holster. It's poor craftsmanship, the patton license rights I hold for the American made one is designed to come out, all US made ones are. Poor craftsmanship from foreign makers does not mean it's not designed to come out.

[@theyframedme]

That's why i say you may need to use pliers, also some foreign makers may glue them in too.

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@theyframedme if you have to use pliers then it wasn't designed to come out for user use. guess what paracord firestarter makers did design to use the striker in the cord. they show it being used that way and the paracord doesn't unravel. if your paracord unravels while using the striker then you got a shit paracord.

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@theyframedme you mean patent? the patents for one paracord had the rod being removable while the actual striker is still in the bracelet. otherwise the fire starter device ie matches is in a compartment.

[@timothychaichana3621]

Thanks for demonstrating how the fire starter works

[@edcwatches]

cheers

[@csuszi11]

he is right, but don't admit it, be an ironic jerk, this is the good way to gather subscribers. well done! :)

[@theyframedme]

The demonstration is incorrect, the striker is designed to be removed, then used to strike flint rod (farras), when you strike the rod while striker is still in the holster, you risk detangling the paracord.

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@theyframedme the one in mine is not removable.

[@theyframedme]

@@toomanyaccounts Can you post a pic or vid, I'm unaware of any model that doesn't allow it to be removed, as keeping it in place risks unraveling the paracord. You may need to use a pair of pliers to pull it out, or use it in place but risk unraveling the cord.

[@SbarkyMom]

Thank you for showing me that removing the coating from the fire steel would make this fire starter work! Great review.

[@BushcraftSerbia]

Hehehe... Imam istu takvu,nedavno dobio na poklon od drugara, ali je prevelika,tj imam tanke zglobove pa ću morati da je prepletem da bude manja. Takođe je ne nogu nositi na istoj ruci gde i sat jer je robusna skoro kao i sat, ali zato na drugoj svakako. Šminkeraj 101% 😎

[@edcwatches]

Nenad Lazić a ja covjek gleda da ne bude sve sminkeraj da ima malo i smisla al neda mi se :D

[@Canto00]

They also have versions that are slimmer, and they have versions with a thermometer or compass or both. I'm wanting one but I don't know what I want on it. BTW great way you wear it I've always found it so ugly and dumb how the steel was facing the outside but you've shown me that you can simply reverse it :)

[@MultiDaniel1230]

u didn't blow the whistle....

[@muted6376]

Works great almost set my house on fire 10/10

[@RenArthurCorillo]

FYI you can actually take the metal striker off. and since it has a teeth you can use it to cut things with.

[@italopetrucci8814]

Am I allowed to carry it with me onboard in the airplane?

[@gavisshitatfortnite832]

Ye I did

[@uxleumas]

no

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

Italo petrucci I don't see why not but why would you

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

why would you ask me that

[@perpetualconfusion5885]

Brandon Martin I thought of an answer. The plane crashes and you survive.

[@thecompass1111]

Thanks for teaching me how to use it.

[@johnnybravo4922]

I found a real nice one with a green cord brand new and I'm wearing it now

[@oscar_jjuarez5266]

Got a black G-shock so its going to look nice hopefully it ain’t too FAT . Thanks for the review man !

[@bobbyrains9195]

Yeah Black G shock here also , leave nice dress watch home for special occasions

[@randido2]

Thanks for the video. I got 2 of them on ebay for $2.10 ($1.05 each), and they include a compass as well. I agree with you; I'm totally happy.

[@edcwatches]

+Randy Boone they are definitely worth the money

[@dermotmurphy6733]

Hi I purchased one these on line. Great idea but poor design. I was not expecting the world for the price I paid. It's extremely difficult to get the Sparks required without damaging the buckle in my view. If they went to a larger buckle size and allowed the Flint to slide out would greatly improve the function. Once finished you just slide the Flint back into the buckle. I would pay 3 or 4 times the price I paid if I could get a product that was really practical. I have no axe to grind with our friends in China but cheap is not always best. Does any one know if there is a product available that is superior to this product and functions well?

[@edcwatches]

+Dermot Murphy crkt survival bracelet

[@gurgelplus]

Just pull the scraper out of the buckle...makes things a lot easier.

[@thecorlorlesspig1993]

That survival baracelet in the AFP Museum is 100PHP

[@hyperthan3174]

This gadget is waterproof? Please answer my questions

[@edcwatches]

It is

[@hyperthan3174]

@@edcwatches it is what

[@susietsaclis8556]

It's a plastic type buckle, metal scraper & striker- the cord is nylon type. So it's easy to wipe water off the metal to start a fire. The cord is still strong if it's wet. Why does it need to be waterproof?

[@TrendingPendingVideos]

How long does the Flint or whatever it is what u strike last ? I'm going camping and just though it would be fun to use this to start my fires cuz there only cheap but how long or how many times can you strike this does I waste faste or will it last a while if I keep using it

[@edcwatches]

+bear Mitch it can last a lot but its not the best firesteel -- good backup but I strongly recommend this one as very efficient www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00440VIYY?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00440VIYY&linkCode=xm2&tag=youedc-20

[@TrendingPendingVideos]

oh that looks cool too i got the bracelet like ordered it Tuesday came already really really fast post i was just going camping soon and just though be fun to use ok i know its meant to be survival only but its cool for camping having a light on you all the time and that idk how long it will last i have just striked it a few times i cant tell if its going down fast or not it looks like it does but not sure i hope it will last a week tho of striking XD i dont think it will tho unless im doing it too hard

[@edcwatches]

+bear Mitch its not going down fast :) but the most efficient is that Swedish one Light my fire :)

[@bobbyrains9195]

just don't forget the BIC lighters, put em in ziplock if it rains

[@Goddess1Princess]

why not wear it on the other wrist??

[@XJoshuamiller]

Nice watch :) I have a Rolex Datejust 2 in blue with a smooth bezel.

[@SpaceStrike]

you lyin bro. no one has rolex cause they arent stupid enough to do that

[@agamanukiannarek6782]

Can you start a fire with is using a regular peac of wood

[@edcwatches]

just need to make a small shavings

[@skate96production]

uhm no, firestarting is very very hard thing and it takes alot of practice but mostly knowledge, because even with a normal lighter you wont be able to start a fire that easily, but for this type of firestarter you need cotton OR feathersticks, and you need to build your fire up up up from the smallest sticks to the biggest pieces of wood. dont be so confident with this sparkle in your hand because with no knowledge you dont have SHIT.

[@LetoPartizan]

Random Dude you could also use dry tinder. Ex: leaves, dry grass, or even dead tree shavings. I used them before
