Atomic Bear Paracord Bracelet (2 Pack) - Adjustable - Fire Starter - Loud Whistle - Perfect for Hiking, Camping, Fishing and Hunting - Black & Black+Orange

Bought these for the bug out bag. They look great and the compass is accurate enough.

I just ordered another set of these. My dad is an avid hiker and is always prepared for emergencies. Yesterday, he went hiking with some friends and brought a significantly smaller pack due to familiarity with the trail. One of his friends slipped and broke her ankle. Thankfully, he had this bracelet and was able to make a splint with wood, gloves and the bracelet cord to stabilize it until emergency crews came. One never knows when they may need to use it!

They are much much larger than I was expecting. Even at its smallest setting, I cannot wear it on my wrist(I am female). However, it fits great on my ankle. For the intended purpose of emergency gear when hiking, it works great.

Wellllllllll Made!!!!!

**Atomic Bear Paracord Bracelet Review:**The Atomic Bear Paracord Bracelet is like the utility belt of wrist wear - it's got survival in its DNA. For the price, it's a decent piece of gear, offering a bit of style with a side of practicality. However, if quality was a spectrum, this bracelet would be somewhere in the middle. The paracord is functional, but the stitching could use a bit more love, and the clasp sometimes feels like it's not fully committed to staying closed. It's a good starter for anyone dipping their toes into the world of survival gear or just looking for a rugged accessory. Just don't expect it to be your forever survival companion; it might need a bit of TLC now and then.

Looks great

Bought these as a last minute stocking stuffers idea for my grandkids. I had my doubts but they turned out to be a great option. They were really excited with them. In no time they were outside trying the firestarter function. All were able to start fires (ages 8-15) and had a great time. Once again, the least expensive gift turned out to be the biggest hit.

I'm blind but I camp way out in the wilderness where there's no cell signal, no hospital and nothing around. No, I am not insane enough to try and go by myself, I wouldn't even if I were sighted to be honest LoL.Within 2 minutes of opening this up I had found the compass, the whistle, the emergency knife and the fire starter. Obviously I can't use the compass but I can find my direction of travel other ways, maybe not quite as accurate as a compass but if I need to go west I can LoL.Anyways the fire starter has a black coating on it, you need to scrape that off before it will spark, I found a YouTube video that explained that part. As soon as I got that coating scraped off it sparked like a champ!!!So the clips that connect both ends have goodies in he middle, one side has the small emergency knife and the other side has the fire starter in it. You just use both of those for a spark.The compass and whistle are built into the clips as well, so it's all right there on your wrist. One thing to keep in mind though is the fire starter may cause magnetic interference with the compass because of it's iron content. Simply unclip the ends and then use the compass. The rest of the bracelet is paracord, enough to make a trap, a shelter and some fishing line if need be. Honestly you'll probably never need all of the paracord but it's nice to have it in excess in the event you need to make an emergency stretcher or maybe a sled to drag equipment or gathering fire wood and so on.I've used and checked out tons of similar items that have fishing hooks and other extras in them but those ones are usually pretty low quality. This one is literally so well made and designed with so much common sense a blind dude figured it out without help aside from the fire started thing. If you camp or are into survival or know someone who is this is a fantastic item!
