10 Reasons you need a Paracord Bracelet 

Regarding #5: I was over at a friend's apartment in college and he passed out early due to the quantity of adult beverages we had consumed. Not having a key, but knowing he was a proper adventurer, I was able to find a stash of his paracord and use it exactly as you described! There was still a tag end but I just stuffed it into the jamb. He was blown away, and I had never before used this technique. This was around 2012. Keep these videos coming! They're fantastic, and a lot of people stand to gain a lot of knowledge and wisdom from you, myself included

Just a few compliments on your videos. 1. They're easy to watch. 2. You come across as very friendly and patient. 3. The instructions are quite clear. 4. You clearly have some multi-dimensional thinking.

Good tips! I especially like the ones about fixing your shifter in an emergency and locking a door without a key. I used to carry a bracelet on me but I found that usually it's more convenient to just stash a coil of cord in my bag. Saves me the labor of having to reweave a bracelet so often lol.

I’m just hoping those kids didn’t google “first class amateur” and end up anywhere… nevermind. I’m sure they found the channel just fine! Hahaha

I fixed a hole in a thermarest once by dripping melted paracord onto it. Trippy part was I had a dream about doing it first.

The oil filter wrench is one use I can relate to. Have the same problem on the same make and model car.

Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well. BTW, I used to smoke. Then I took up spool knitting. With a spool in one hand and a hook in the other, it is difficult to light another cigarette. It has worked for 15 years. Anyway, it is what I do while waiting. Usually, someone will notice what I am doing. If they get brave enough to ask what I am doing, I give them a knitted key fob. You need to reward curiosity. Stay curious.

Doubtful that I'll ever wear a bracelet.....but you're definitely responsible for a lot of knowledge that I've gained on how to effectively use rope/Paracord to make life easier. Thanks!

My car broke down one time going home from college. I pulled over and realized that there was something wrong with my radiator. I knew how to fix cars back then. I was a college student and couldn’t afford mechanics and my car was old, so I took auto mechanic classes in college. When I inspected my car, I saw that the radiator plug was broken. I was losing the antifreeze/water slowly but knew I’d be toast if I didn’t handle this immediately. I was able to use my paracord bracelet. I undid the bracelet to get the cord. Wrapped some leaves from a bush nearby and plugged the radiator hole back up. I added some water and I was able to drive the rest of the way home. It was around ten at night so I was very grateful that I was able to fix it. There were obviously no cell phones back then and I was in a rural area. This was in the early 90’s. I will never forget that night.

The kid at the end sounded delighted to have met you!

Thanks a lot for the safety break tip! I sometimes carry my house key in a very simple loop of paracord around my neck, but the idea of it catching on something really freaks me out.

Alright, that stabilizer idea is genius. I wish I learned that in my photography class.

@First_Class_Amateur - I've been enjoying your videos for over a year, (and ordered some awesome products too). I just now watched this one. It is very informative and practical, of course, as all of your videos are. But I have to say that the last minute was so incredibly touching. I could hear the surprise and wonder in that young person's voice. Thank you for leaving that clip in your video.

Really good touch with the safety break, rather loose the bracelet over getting degloved.

I just used the rope wrench from this video to do a job I didn't have the best tools for at hand. Thanks!

If this man gets stuck on a deserted island with only one thing… he’ll be able to build a city with it 👏 👏 👏

Kudos for the safety break tip! Recently tied a bracelet that uses a D-shackle closure, and was suuuper uncomfortable about it not being able to break away like a plastic buckle would.

Very useful knowledge, thank you. The oil filter wrench was cool. I've used a small ratchet strap with a box wrench before.

Always good, useful content.

Smart video. I show many of your videos to my kids. My boys love them too. Well done.

the oil filter wrench is awesome 👍👍👍

Awesome as always. Much appreciated. I hope you'll never run out of ideas for useful vids like this one. Keep pressing on.

Thank you man! These were great!

I just used some for replacing the draw string on my sweats

Awesome VIDEO! Where did you find the Anchor that you had on your bracelet? I am a US NAVY Veteran and I have been making my own Paracord bracelets for the past few years and using the plastic buckles and that Anchor looks really cool!

I just got a 550 Cobra/braid saw this video im speechless i tried to fix my car a/c belt with it unfortunately it didnt work but this is still a great informative video 👍

Good stuff!

Wonderful content as always. Thanks for doing your thing.

Aaaaand that's how you become famous! That kid'll never forget you. Next eagle scout right there, lol. Good job, influencer!

Great video man!

nice upload thanks bud

Love this one. I wondered if you could think up the best way to improvise a chest strap with paracord for filming with a mobile phone?

素晴らしい発想ですね。私も真似しようと思います

!?!?! what the heck kind of knot is that at 1:28? that's awesome!

Some of these look really good

The biggest fun with all that is the work to remake the bracelet after each use. Yeah, really great ideas 🤔. And a car trunk is certainly a bad place to keep a bungee cord in case your trunk does not close...🥳🤣

95 percent of the time if you just keep a few lengths in your car you would be good to go but some good ideas for sure

These are all hyper specific situations where I would never think, "I wish I had paracord." I guess if you have nothing else, but even then I'd probably try something else.

Cool channel bro

A chuck key holder costs about $6. I can’t even find a allan/allen(?) wrench keeper for my angle grinder. Any idea of a paracord pouch/strap/keeper to attach the the electrical cord? I have spent more time looking for the hex wrench than I did using the grinder…. Grrr… 😡

Where do you get those anchor type bracelet hook closure. TY

Peak useless RU-vid info and I Here for it

I bet you bought business cards after this

What is the torch that you used and where can you purchase it?

There's no blind spot hanging a garment on the driver's side back window. I like a lot of the car ideas, but they are why I keep paracord in the car, no bracelet needed.

Many hands and wrist were cut off when using one.

4:59 how do i make this bracelet ?????

Hy, 6:22 where can i buy this anchor? thx

Deadbolt didn't lock

When all you have is a paracord bracelet, every problem looks like a nai-- a problem you can solve with paracord!

I guarantee that kid never found this RU-vid channel 😂😂

drive a manual. saves some trouble..

I have to say the is the weirdest rain I have ever seen or..............you were in a carwash storm either way water is important and now so are parachord bracelets

I relace my boots with paracord. I can use half and still keep my boots on. Or remove the strands and replace the outer shell back into my boots. Etc etc Bracelets are for chicks and I'm a dude, dude. Just kidding. Personally I don't like to wear "jewelry". To each their own.

👍🏻🇨🇦

Do not do what this guy did to the shifter! Go buy the rubber bushings! Good grief if he knew the damage you could do to your car drive train! And risk the lives of your occupants on a high speed freeway!

Honestly, you're already reaching for reasons if you're telling people one of the 10 reasons you need a paracord bracelet (the 2nd reason) is just in case the linkage from your transmission disconnects. Also, the 1st reason, stopping a door from shutting, is already a silly reason.

No you dont need this.

I’m sure I’m not the first to ask, but will you be my knot guy? You’re just the best!🪢
