No matter where your travels take you, it is always good to be prepared for the worst.  We aren’t saying that you need to have a full blown first aid kit with you at all times, but making sure you have a couple of small essentials that could come in handy is never a bad idea.  Recently, we were turned on to a company based in Florida called Survival Straps, their bracelets (prices vary) have quickly become one of those small essentials that we are rarely without.

With multiple weave options, and more than 50,000 color combinations, it is virtually impossible not to find a Survival Straps bracelet that fits your look.  Made in the USA out of military spec paracord and featuring stainless steel closures, these bracelets are made to withstand just about anything.  Should you find yourself in sticky situation, your Survival Strap can be unraveled, providing you with anywhere from 15 to 25 feet of cord.  The best part is, if you do have to use the paracord, Survival Straps will send you a new bracelet free of charge if you send in a picture and tell them how you used it.  Over the next few days we will be giving away a few of these bracelets via Twitter, so make sure you are following @BowsandBoats and @SurvivalStraps for your chance to win.
