A paracord bracelet is also known as a survival bracelet since they are worn by hikers, climbers and outdoor enthusiasts. These bracelets become extremely handy in survival or emergency situations as the bracelet can be taken apart to yield yards of strong cord that could be used for fishing, climbing, or building shelters. Students can pick from a variety of colors and fun attachments like whistles and compasses. Taught by Janet Begrow Chambers.
