These cool, fashionable survival bracelets and belts can save your life!

I love practicality coupled with style.  Paracord is a versatile nylon rope that has unlimited applications in everyday life and survival situations and lucky for us, comes in an array of beautiful colors!  Many people carry this cord on there person at all times by weaving it into many different things including belts and bracelets.  As exciting as purchasing paracord and paracord gear may be, it is important to purchase them from reputable sources.  There is way to much paracord on the market that simply said is fake, so it is important to be sure that the paracord you purchase is genuine.  Authentic paracord is golden!  

I have found this really great shop that has bracelets, dog leashes, rifle slings and belts made to order in beautiful Reedsville, West Virginia by hand with genuine 550 paracord purchased from a very trustworthy source, Camping Survival.  This paracord is DOD approved, passing all government quality control and inspection requirements.  550 paracord is made by taking seven two ply threads of nylon and wrapping them in a shell braided from 32 nylon strands.  This construction gives the paracord a  tensile strength of 550 pounds, and is also mildew and rot resistant.   

Wearing bracelets and belts made of 550 paracord allows you to carry a useful amount at all times, in case of an emergency.  Let's first take a look at paracord, why it is so awesome and get to know some of the many uses of this must-have cord.

Ridgerunner Belts

Wow ... this shop rocks!  I ordered a belt, the buckle and color chose by me and three earth colored bracelets from Ridgerunner Belts.  Customer service was great, from the very beginning and within one week my products arrived.  My custom ridgerunner belt was a lot of fun designing and I feel so great wearing it.  I am proud of it! There are many colors and buckles to choose from, so you can mix and match, designing your own creation.  This is so much fun and really makes it easy to make survival cord an easily worn fashion accessory.  I am so happy with the belt, very pleased with the craftsmanship.  These products are all great conversation pieces.  The belt and bracelets all fit perfect and look great, very professional.  The weaving work is nice and tight, neat and even.  I have wore my belt and bracelets since they arrived, so they have about 2 months of normal wear and they still looks brand new.  I am certain that they will look new for many years.  Customer service is really amazing.  They answered all my questions and really care about the customer.  The company has a great vibe.  This is quality work that I will happily recommend to all my friends and family.  They have a great guarantee too.  See below.

“If you ever have a problem with your belt caused by normal usage, I will repair or replace it free of charge. Also, if you ever have to use the paracord in your belt in an emergency situation, send me the buckle and tell me your story and I will make a new belt for you”

Is that guarantee awesome or what. This is a great business, trustworthy and honest.  The prices are low too.
