This is supposed to be a survival bracelet but nowhere does it mention how long the paracord is when unraveled?

Its not that big, if anything you should get the biggest size. Mine didn't fit me, maybe if You have smaller wrists You should get the medium size other than that the small size is to small even for my niece and she's 2 years old

I did a quick search on how to make one, and there was a simple formula pending on the length of cord needed to make the bracelet. I thought there was a total of 1 inch to 1 foot ratio. I recommend doing a quick search on how to make one. Hope this helps.

The one I received, and returned, was 13.5". It was way to long. It was supposed to be 12" I believe but even then I think it would still have been to long. I ordered one off of etsy, and it was 11", which worked well until it stretched out. Now I just put a knot in the necklace before I put it on my son. You don't want them to be able to put the beads in their mouth.

Not counting the part that hangs down in the center, the circular string of beads I received measures 34 inches. It makes a generous necklace, or a great wrap-around bracelet (the elastic cord makes it quite comfortable). I'm very happy wearing the beads both ways.

It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord. When you melt / char the end of the chord to prevent it's unraveling, the melted end will barely pass through the lock, so I would say 1/8 is about max. I tried a heat shrinkable cap on the end, but it would not pass through the lock. I have used the locks on regular elastic shoe laces before I bought the shock cord. Even when the elastic inside the shoe lace had broken, and just the braided outer cover was all that was holding, the lock still held and prevented the lace from slipping. These are the strongest springs in this type of cord lock I have encountered. It has a pretty strong spring so it will go down to a small size. My max size is 1/8 for shock cord.

yes it will work with paracord. the buckles on it are standard for most smaller projects like bracelets and small/med dog collars, key chains/fobs. It is adjustable for longer pieces as well. I believe you can swap for larger buckles if needed. Good Luck!

Now that it broke and tangled easily, I have no idea how long it actually was. I had to know the length somehow to purchase it. It's at least between 15-20' because I didn't want anything longer than 20.Sorry�

Hi Darren, Most all 100% Nylon Paracord has a "minimum stretch" of about 30%. Paracord is designed for parachutes and must have some stretch built-in for the sudden loads it is expected to endure. I hope that helps. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

One time, my child lost the key to her bike lock and I needed to take a hacksaw to school to cut the lock cable. That cable was 5/16" thick and it took me about 20 minutes to hacksaw through it. This cable is more like 3/16" thick so I would guess that you could hacksaw through it in about 10 minutes. The cable is stainless-steel stranded cable similar to what is used to hold up the mast on a small sailboat. A pair of cable-cutters would probably make short work of it.As a deterrent, it will be good against snatch-and-grab opportunistic thieves. It won't help much against a determined thief with tools. Your better course of action in that case is to have locking hard luggage that keeps your valuables out of sight.

I took a piece of string and wrapped it around my wrist then measured - it was 6 inches. I will tell you the heart rate part isn't accurate, nor is the watch waterproof.

I use my paracord in small amounts and could not say for sure that it is one continuous piece.I have to say that I did assume that it was continuous spool when I purchased it.

Hello jd, The diameter of the paracord is 1/8' or 4mm. For product specific questions like this, it's best to contact the seller about the product. It'll be a much quicker response. Thanks!

Hey, Patrick: Darren Wright from Paracord 550 MilSpec, here. Thanks for your question! I suspect that you are asking this question because there is quite a lot of Paracord on Amazon and other places that claim to be compliant with the MilSpec ... but just arent. We've noticed ... heavy sigh ... too! We have all of the MIL-C-5040H documentation in our files but it is so complicated that we don't bother to confuse our customers by sending it out. What we consider to be better is ... now we are sending out an ebook called, "We Love MilSpec Paracord and So Will You!" which explains in great detail and with very high resolution close-up pictures, all about the differences between MIL-C05040H Paracord and commercial Paracord. Inside of our ebook, we also provide a link to download your own copy of MIL-C-5040H. It's a tough read - 19 pages of "government" type writing, but it's good for Paracord Snobs, like us ... or for insomnia! Hope this helps! Keep Charging! Darren Wright, Customer Service Manager Paracord 550 MilSpec (TM)

Hi Gatorman! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) Apologies for the delayed answer! We do not recommend for this particular grenade paracord product that you re-braid it after use unless you are experienced doing so (many tutorials can be found online for countless instructional videos) We do have a DIY paracord kit that comes with a few simple knot instructions though that you may be interested instead. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Paracord-Kit-firestarters-instructions/dp/B00KGNZBT6/. If I can be of any further help to you, please let me know at our customer service link here:

Most paracords are thicker and a lot stronger.This is also very stretchy and could not be used to hold and weight..It is use for hoods or sleeves.If you want a cord with stretch that is thin this is it.This cord also comes in thicker sizes.Which can be bought at Quest Outfitters but not this cheap.

I think its just for show the braided wire. Mine seems long enough. Did you undo the wire all the way.

It looks and feels like real paracord, but I have not unwrapped it to test strength or durability. If you were a contestant on Naked and Afraid this probably isn't the one item you want to take with you, but for having around the house for $5 it is a god deal.
