I don't know how many times I heard kids and adults alike say those words in a hushed tone, almost reverently, as they passed the booths selling bracelets made of paracord.
"It's for survival." Oooo, aaaah.
The phrase was uttered like the bracelets were one of Wonder Woman's bullet-deflecting cuffs.
"It's for survival." Oooo, aaaah.
Folks, they're not magic. Everything at the gun show was for survival. The guns, the ammo, the freeze dried food (which, by the way has come a long way and is quite tasty), the paracord. All of it. Yet the only booth that got the reverent whispers..."It's for survival"...the booths with the paracord bracelets.
The thing was, you would think that those people truly thought that they were magic, that just by owning one, you would be able to survive the end of the world. Never mind, food, water, shelter. All you need is one of these handy-dandy paracord bracelets..."It's for survival."
There is no magic to surviving. You survive by being prepared, with the necessary tools. Owning a paracord accessory is a tool for survival. And let me tell you, Mrs Mom makes some pretty darn cool paracord accessories.

Side note: I don't want to be anywhere near that banana hammock if it has to be deployed. It started as a gag-gift and has continued to sell. Crazy.
Any time you have extra rope, or cord, that's lightweight and functional, you're ahead of the game. But it's not magic. You still have to train and prepare for survival.
I bet if we had polled the people who walked by the
Your brain. Your training. Your preparation. That's for survival.
