alright guys welcome back to the Pilate Patriot Channel now today we're going to
show you how to make the ultimate survival bracelet most you're probably
already familiar with paracord bracelets probably already have one of your own
but this is not your typical paracord bracelet and I'll show you why here in
just a minute and then we'll give you a demonstration on how to make this for
yourself and we'll talk about the purpose of having something like this
and how it could benefit you in a survival situation now I'm sure you
already know there are a million and one uses for paracord from using this
fishing line to tying up tents and shelters and things like that
really a million and one different uses for this and there's plenty of videos on
YouTube that will tell you the uses for paracord now one of the things that's
special about this bracelet is the type of paracord if you're familiar with
paracord already paracord is a type of cordage that has been used in the past
for military parachutes and things like that and the reason people like it and
use it a lot in survival situations and for rope and things like that is because
it is extremely strong for its size you know standard 550 paracord is a pretty
small cordage but because of the way it's made it has a strength that can
withstand 550 pounds of weight that's why they call it 550 cord now just a
quick note guys I am gonna put links to all these things in the description
below so you can get one for yourself also if you like these kind of videos
don't forget to hit that subscribe button down below and hit that
notification bell so you get notified every time we upload new videos but like
I said this isn't your typical 550 cord this is what you would call survival
cord or wilderness cord now as you can see it has your typical seven strands of
nylon cord inside but it's got some extras in there and those extras
actually make it even stronger so this wilderness cord
actually has the strength of 650 pounds not just 550 like regular paracord now
here's a close-up of what you'll find inside of this wilderness cord so like I
said you'll have your typical seven strands of nylon cord that you see in
all 550 cord and this can be used as fishing line you can pull these out
individually and use them by themselves it also has this Dyna X cord right here
Dyna X is a material that you're starting to see in a lot of bulletproof
vests and things like that because it's so lightweight and so strong now this
right here this Dyna X is going to be lighter weight than the typical nylon
cordage and it's also going to be twice as strong the next thing you see here
that red it's called a nano air mid cordage now this is a Kevlar product and
this cordage here by itself has a hundred and ten pound strength it's also
very very heat resistant up to 900 degrees this can be used to hold up
cooking pots and things like that there are a lot of good uses for that as well
and what you see right here that is a waxed jute twine and you can see here if
you pull that wax off you can start to fray that jute twine and that's what
that's for it's meant to be used as a fire starter and what the wax does is
just keeps it waterproof or mostly waterproof so when you pull this out of
your paracord you can scrape that wax off and fray that twine and it'll take a
spark really well in the wax will actually help it burn longer so that wax
you turn is going to be a great fire starter and I don't have to tell you how
important it is to have a good fire starter with you so if you're wearing
this type of bracelet then you always have a way to start a fire and last but
not least you got a ten pound monofilament fishing line where with
regular paracord you would have to use one of these nylon cordage and try to
make that work as fishing line the survival cord or wilderness cord
will have actual fishing line in it now one of the other great features of this
bracelet is the buckle and if you can see here the book will
actually has a Ferro rod and scraper inside of it so this firestarter paired
with the jute twine in there you have a self-contained fire kit right there on
your wrist now I'll demonstrate this and actually make a fire with it later but
pretty self-explanatory you just unbuckle it and then you use the scraper
to scrape that Ferro rod and it'll spray sparks the buckle also has a whistle on
it this is a nice loud whistle I'll take it off camera and blow it so you can
hear it so obviously the whistle will come in handy in an emergency if you
need to signal for help or something like that that was a will help get
people's attention and a couple other things you'll see I have on here is some
Ranger bands now a ranger band is basically just a rubber band or like a
bicycle tube cut down and it can be used for a lot of things primarily you can
use it just like you would a rubber band or its purpose on the bracelet is to
attach other things that aren't woven into it and I'll show you that in a
minute I actually have it's something hidden in here underneath this Ranger
band also this stuff is a really great firestarter so if you can light this on
fire it's going to burn for a really long time now last but not least I'll go
ahead and open this I do have a little hidden tool right here underneath that
Ranger ban so let me get that Ranger band out of the way and what you see
here is a handcuff key and I just have it shoved up in here underneath a couple
of those strands of the paracord and I hold it down and keep it hidden with
that Ranger band to make sure it doesn't come out now this is what it looks like
outside the bracelet and keep in mind guys I am going to put links to all
these things in the description below now why would you want a handcuff key in
your bracelet now first off let me tell you I'm not advocating any of you
escaping or evading the police if the police have you in custody you probably
have done something wrong so this is not for that purpose
the only reason you would need to have your own hidden handcuff key is if
someone other than the police tried to put you in handcuffs you would have a
way to get out and that's more of an emergency situation without rule-of-law
somebody may try to put you in handcuffs and if you are wearing this bracelet
then you will potentially have a way to get out of it and you'll just stuff it
right down in there and it's nice and hidden and out of the way all right now
as you can see it looks just like a normal pair cord bracelet to the average
person unbeknownst to them there is an entire survival kit right here on your
wrist now let me get in here and show you how to make this and then we'll
demonstrate some of these things like that firestarter and make sure you have
enough paracord you're going to need about a foot per inch of bracelet so
once you have that you're going to fold it in half and you're going to take that
fold it in and you're going to feed it through one one side of your buckler and
once you feed it through a little bit you're gonna grab the paracord from the
other side and pull it through all the way until that loop tightens securing it
to the buckle
then you're going to take your other two ends and feed it through the other side
of the buckle and once you're sure you have the right size
you're gonna unbuckle it and try to hold it there so you can keep that spot you
know what you're going to do is you're going to separate it so you have your
inner bracelet band in the middle and the two loose ends separated on the
right and left side you know it doesn't matter which side you start with I
started with the right side so you're going to take that right side and you're
gonna cross it over the two middle strands once you've done that you're
going to take the left side you're going to cross it over top of the right side
and under and behind and you're going to pull it out through that loop you
created on the right side feel free to pause this anytime so you can keep the
pace and once you've pulled it through you're gonna pull it start to pull it
tight while you work that knot up closer towards the buckle and once you get it
where you need it just go ahead and pull it tight and once you've got your first
knot done you're gonna repeat the process but you're gonna start on the
opposite side cross it over the middle you take that right side you bring it
over top of that strand and then you're going to bring it behind and around and
back through that loop you created and you're gonna pull it out and then just
pull it tight and just like you did before you're gonna work that knot up
nice and tight to the one above it and then we're gonna go back and start on
the right side and you're just gonna repeat this process all the way down
until you get to the bottom of your bracelet now once you get down to the
bottom of your bracelet you can see I'm getting pretty close here so I'm just
going to continue time that knot alternating sides each time until I get
all the way down to my next buckle now once you've completed that final knot
and you've got it nice and tight and you're all the way down to your other
buckle you're gonna take your scissors and you're gonna cut off those loose
ends you leave about a quarter inch of paracord sticking out that's what
you're going to melt down later to make sure it stays in place and doesn't
unravel and once you've got both sides cut you're going to take your lighter
and you're going to start to heat it up you can go ahead and put the flame right
on it if you want to I like to do that to get a nice dark black in but go ahead
and put your flame right on there and you're just going to start the milk know
as it melts down and get some nice bead of melted paracord pretty close to the
end you're going to take your lighter and you're just going to flatten it down
with your lighter and get it nice and smooth up against the bracelet and
you're just going to do that for both sides and once you've got both sides
melted and flattened out you should be good to go on that will prevent it from
unraveling but it is pretty easy if you want to to pull that out and unravel
your bracelet if you need it in a survival situation now we're going to go
ahead and take our handcuff key and our Ranger band and I'll show you how to put
that on there first thing you need to do is just go ahead and break apart that
key so you can separate the key from the coin and then you're gonna take your
Ranger band and you're gonna feed it over and then that's going to be very
tight so it may take a little work to get it down to where you want it but on
just pull it over and stretch it into place now I don't have this part on
video but once you get it down to where you run it you can put anything you want
under there in our case we're putting we're just gonna shove a handcuff key up
under there to keep it secure it in place and hidden but you can do that
with anything you can put a little compass button under there or really
anything you want to all right guys now for the fun part we're gonna do a little
demonstration here so we're gonna take a piece of our jute twine and I'm just
going to take my knife and I'm just going to start to scrape off some of
that why that's on there and we're gonna start
separating that's one all right so then they've kind of got us separated got a
little ball of twine here we're gonna see if we can get a fire started you
know once you got that scratched off you should be able to get pretty good spark
going now let's get down here close and see if
we can't get this to light there we go
all right you see it worded definitely on it wasn't that easy you know but it
worked all right guys no that is how it's done
so I hope this videos helped you out if you have been wanting to make a survival
bracelet or if you wanted something that's just gonna be a little bit more
helpful to you than your average paracord bracelet this is a great way to
do it so hope this has helped you guys out like I mentioned before I'm gonna
