I've made several paracord bracelets for my kids and friends. They are easy and fun to make. While my mom was vacationing at Yellowstone National Park, she saw a bunch of Japanese tourists buying them up like hotcakes... at $20-$50 a pop! I make them for only a few bucks. She asked what "paracord" was, so I gave her this video.

Ok, some may be a stretch but, in a pinch, you will be glad you have some.
