Survival Bracelet II
Intro: Survival Bracelet II
You may have seen my first survival bracelet instructable on the cobra braid. After receiving a comment from lightchaser mentioning the chain sinnet braid, I thought that was a great idea. This is truly a Survival Bracelet, if you are in need of some rope or cord, you can just pull both ends and then you have one full piece of 8 ft cord. Give it a try and see how simple it really is.
STEP 1: Supplies
In order to make a survival bracelet you will need
-About 8 feet of 550 Parachute Cord (or whatever you have on hand)
-Pair of scissors
-Lighter
-Pliers (not necessary but can make a tighter bracelet)
-About 8 feet of 550 Parachute Cord (or whatever you have on hand)

STEP 2: The Lanyard Knot
The lanyard knot is a nice way to spruce up your bracelet, but can easily be replaced with an over hand knot. First make a small twist in the cord. Then make a "U" shape beneath the loop. Take the piece that points left and place it over the bottom loop, and under the right piece. Then over, under, and then over again. Hold the bottom loop down.
STEP 3: The Sinnet Braid
This braid is very simple once you get it down. Make a small twist or loop in the cord. Then make a "U" shape and put it through the other loop. Pull tight. When the loop is facing left, then place the left piece through the loop. Continue until the bracelet is long enough.
STEP 4: Finish It
First, put both pieces all the way through the last loop. Then, as before you can make a lanyard knot again or an over hand knot. Trim the end and then melt it down. There you have it, a true survival bracelet.
