Link 1 (overview)
Link 2 (compass v1)
Link 3 (compass v2)
Link 4 (use to start a fire)
This tool may be magnetic and may render credit cards inactive if placed in close proximity to one another. Shop on Amazon.com or eBay. They are only made in Asia (sorry) so find the cheapest price, with free shipping, and don't be in a hurry to get them (takes about 2-3 weeks). Those sold in the US are getting them from Asia and jacking up the price. | |
Survival (Paracord) Bracelet
I wear one of these whenever I am camping and hiking and consider a must-have for anyone doing outside activities. Cordage, fire, signaling, cutting, and direction-finding are essentials for any survival situation and this little package has them all conveniently strapped to my wrist.

(1) Paracord (about 9 feet of when unraveled)
(2) Flathead Screwdriver at the opposite end of the striker. Pull out the striker from the bracelet clasp. (3) Survival Whistle as an audible signal to summon help (save your voice) (4) Flint to create a spark (5) Compass (6) Flint Striker can be used as a cutting tool to used with the Flint (#4) to start a fire or a visual signal to summon help. The Paracord is (usually) made of 7, 35-pound Tensile strength strands that can be used for light-duty, less-bulky cordage. Additionally, the 7 strands are comprised of 3 thinner strands that can be used for sewing, fishing line and other uses. P.S.: For the best sparking action, scrape black coating from the flint then use the non-Serrated side of striker against the flint (view Video 1 below). |
