Meet Joe!

Joe is Maxine's son.

While home on break from West Point Joe's brother taught him how to do the survival bracelets.
Joe has practiced and come up with different styles and items to make with the cobra braid.  He finally feels ready to sell his items, so he has become a part of the shop.

This is his newest idea. The paracord is braided around a metal headband and he's added a brass button from an Army uniform to this one. 

This first one was in the Etsy shop for about 5 minutes before it sold. There are more on the way, as well as bracelets, key chains and anything else Joe can think of to make with the paracord.

So did you ever wonder why they are called survival bracelets? Basically because the paracord used to make them is the mil spec 550 cord and can be unbraided to be used for any number of things in a survival situation. Snare - to catch food. Tourniquet or to tie a splint. To make shelter.   You get the idea. The great thing is that you have this fabulous accessory to wear comfortably until you might need it. :)
