Ironic. The last gun show we went to I bought my son some 550 parachord and he started making some keychains thingies. Then I saw he had a knack for it and ordered him a few different colors and some 3/8" contoured side release buckles and he's been making survival bracelets for $5.00 each.

I'm not sure his are made the same as the one's like Boker.com sells for $19.95 or not. His are two color and he uses 4 to 5 feet of each color.

I bought him 10 buckles and just had to buy him a 50pk. because he'd used and sold the first 10 already.

They come in great for a tourniquet, making a snare, if you take it apart the 7 strand in the chord can be used to stitch a cut, a tent or even fish with. One strand is pretty **** strong.

Pretty cool stuff.

I'd like to find him some of the metal buckles these guys use for theirs.

My newest son in law has turned out to be a paracord weaver (knew I liked that kid). Anyway, he makes them without buckles...just a loop on one end and a knot to poke through the loop on the other.

IN the mean time I've found lots of paracord and buckles and whatnot on Amazon.com
