how to open a paracord bracelet (knife not recommended)

[naturegirl]

Here's a video for those of us who do not know how to open these things. I thought it would be quick to cut it with my pocket knife and 5 stitches later to my thumb I know this wasn't a good idea. I wanted quick and there is nothing quick about it according to the video. Yes I am accident prone, but I'm sure I'm probably not the only one whose done this. Dang it's hard to type with a numb thumb...lol

sorry about your thumb!

 

Ouch!

 

I'm not familiar with those........are they a survival tool?

Maybe a person needs to take a few tokes from their bong first? I think ya should just put it in your pack or buy some cheap twine, its very light. As seen on tv or net can suck. Happy healing.

He's cute! If I was..... Well I'm not!! Just keep a length of cord and mechanics wire with you. Not as fashionable but way easier to use.
