You've probably seen those survival bracelets in any place you go, whether online or even in your popular camping store. There aren't many habitancy whom I personally know who haven't heard of or seen a survival bracelet. But up until recently, there haven't been many survival necklaces.
The functions of a survival necklace are similar to that of a survival bracelet, but with some added benefits. Like the popular bracelets, which are constructed mostly of 550 paracord, the cord can be used for discrete purposes. whether repairing a broken shoelace, lashing down something to a backpack, construction a shelter, fashioning a snare, or something simple like manufacture a lanyard, paracord is highly versatile. in any place or at any time where cordage is needed, paracord can be utilized for that purpose.
Strands Necklaces
An added advantage of survival necklaces over bracelets is the potential to carry items on the necklace. For years, survivalists and outdoor enthusiasts have carried things on a string or ball chain necklace colse to their necks, such as a fire steel, small knife, spy capsules containing anyone from fire tinder to healing aids, and discrete other items customized to the individual's needs. In this manner, both the necklace and the items carried on it are tools for personal survival. A survival necklace, also referred to by some as a 550 paracord necklace, can hold the same estimate or more of cordage as most survival bracelets on the market today. This can range in any place from seven to twelve feet.

As mentioned previously, most survival bracelets are constructed of 550 paracord. This type of cord consists of an outer sheath of nylon, approximately 5/32 to 3/16 of an inch in diameter, woven colse to seven inner strands of a dissimilar material. These inner strands can be used for sewing, as fishing line, binding purposes and even in the manufacture of bowstrings. Other nylon cord, also known as paraline, although similar in appearance to 550 paracord, normally contains four inner strands constructed of a dissimilar material than those within 550 paracord. These inner strands have a bit more stretch and aren't as strong. The outer nylon sheath may be of the same weave construction, but the inner strands are what give the cord its strength. Paraline may look the same, but for the purposes which survival bracelets and survival necklaces are made to serve, paraline is an inferior choice.
Of the discrete survival and braided paracord necklaces that are ready today, it's leading to note the differences in their construction. Some are braided together of three or four separate strands of paracord, which are bound at opposite ends and linked or tied with a particular seashore or plastic buckle of some sort. These are, in our opinion, the furthest from how a survival necklace should be made. Some necklaces are made in a spiral pattern, where one seashore is wrapped colse to one or more strands, attaching the ends with a metal or plastic fixture. Still others are made of one continuous strand. We believe it's more practical to have a necklace woven or braided of one continuous seashore of paracord. A necklace comprised of four strands of twenty to twenty-four inches each is little in its use. Should a situation arise where several continuous feet of cordage is needed, this style of survival necklace would not meet the demand.
In review of survival necklaces, we feel that they may be the next most popular accessory in survival gear. Not only are they functional pieces of equipment, but with the discrete colors ready today, can be an interesting and sporty clothing accessory. If you haven't checked out the newest thing in survival gear, take a few minutes and look into getting your own 550 paracord survival necklace.
