Atomic Bear Paracord Bracelet (2 Pack) - Adjustable - Fire Starter - Loud Whistle - Perfect for Hiking, Camping, Fishing and Hunting - Black & Black+Orange

This thing is amazing - it has everything and the quality is great. I kept one for me and gave one to a young friend who is learning how to use a compass. Thankfully, I haven't needed the dental floss component, but you never know! This is how I imagine it: It's a dark and stormy night and we get woken by an earthquake. Not just any earthquake, but the one that we in the SF Bay Area have been fearing- the BIG ONE. Buildings have collapsed, bridges too, so things aren't reliable and urban areas are dangerous. There's nowhere to go but my friend's cabin in the woods where he has stashed supplies. I grab my "bug out bag" intended for just this purpose, and make my way out the door. The bug out bag has a tarp, a big water bottle, the tactical pen that this seller also sells (waterproof!), this bracelet, water, MREs, a sleeping bag, extra socks, and this bracelet strapped to the outside. I hope I never need to use the bracelet for this purpose but I'm glad I have it to be prepared! It also makes a great gift (especially to kids learning orienteering! Who cares if it might be a little big for little kids, they can still strap it on to their backpack and they will think it's way cool!) All in all, this was a great purchase. Thanks to Atomic Bear!

Great value for invaluable equipment

Good product so far.

*Edit* the company has reached out to me and helped me with my issue, great communication! I got these for my kids for Christmas in preparation for our yearly camping trip. They sounded so cool with the compas, fire starter, and whistle. Both if them broke within an hour if them opening them up. The buckle must be a cheap plastic as that's where they both broke. The compass has to be held just right for it to float freely on the needle. I definetly don't recommend this product

The individual elements are actually useable. Where it falls apart is when it's all put together. The whistle, paracord, compass, and ferrorod firestarter all work. The ferrorod can be difficult to strike due to its position between the plastic buckle arms. But the compass only works if you detach the bracelet. For some reason, the design of this positioned a very magnetically sensitive instrument right next to a highly magnetizable element (the steel striker). That means over time, whether it sits in one spot too long, or if used often as a firestarter, the striker will magnetize over time and completely render the compass useless. This design flaw exists on practically every survival bracelet out there. If you decide to get these, ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DETACH THE BUCKLE BEFORE NAVIGATING.

This is a nice set to have - well made and good value!

Perfect gift for outdoorsy friends

Bought this for my dad who enjoys hiking. Recently he’s had some accidents while hiking, like falling off the trail or taking a wrong turn and getting lost. These bracelets are lightweight, the quality is sturdy and has a whistle and compass on it. This is a great multi tool that you can wear and won’t weigh your pack down.

Good quality and useful

Excelente me sirvió mucho felicidades

Good bracelet. The compass is accurate and the fire starter works. Its also handy how the bracelet can be ripped open in an emergency to get access to some pretty tough paracord. Whistle is pretty good, you need to give a good amount of air to it for it to be really loud.

Originali e simpatici, ideali come accessorio personale o come regalo. Non ho provato a sciogliere il cinturino per paura di non saperlo riavvolgere bene, inoltre nonostante tanti tentativi e modalità diverse, non siamo riusciti ad accendere una fiamma.
