Survival Paracord Bracelet – Tactical Emergency Gear Kit with SOS LED Light, 550 Grade, Adjustable, Multitools, Fire Starter,…

I bought these for my fiance and myself. We have been doing a lot of off trail hiking and it was a concern of mine that neither of us had compasses.

I know its kind of silly but rather than buy a couple of real compasses, I figured I’d get something like this that does provide some other potentially useful features instead.

That said the Whistle, fire starter, light, and 10 feet of usable para-cord seemed like a great addition. The other features such as the multi-tool seemed like a complete gimmick and proved to be so in the long run.

These arrived and I was somewhat excited to slap them on the pack (we never planned to wear these). When I pulled the first one out for inspection I was glad to find that everything was pretty much exactly what I expected. Cheap, somewhat useful, and a potential big help out in the wilderness in a survival situation.

I then pulled the second one and and sat them next to each other to see how true the compasses were. The picture is above, you be the judge. Now I have lived in this house for a while and I know without a doubt which direction is north. Let me tell you, not only are these not facing north they aren’t even wrong together.

This was a big disappointment, but for the price the fire starter and para-cord are worth keeping around.

Now comes the twist ending:
I was thinking that maybe the multi-tool that sits directly under the compass and is made of some cheap STEEL might be a factor. I removed the multi-tool from both and to my amazement both compasses spun to true immediately.

To sum it up, my complaints were in a way voided. However, its a poor design that was not fully thought through. The good news is the multi-tool is a useless tiny little piece of metal. Trash it and you will have working compass and a few other features to boot.

Great product. It comes with a compass, sharp blade, expandable woven bracelet, small light and much more.

Bought these for my kids for when we go camping and hunting. I was really hoping they were going to be good. Unfortunately, one had a dead battery for the light and its whistle isn’t working as well as the other one. Other than that, they work for the most part. The fire striker is hard to use because the tool to strike it is very dull. In an emergency, I’d be worried about getting a fire going. I have other bracelets I have purchased that cost a bit more, had less, and worked better. Will skip on buying anymore from here.

Update: After further inspection, one of the compasses is facing the wrong way, the light is scratched up, and the whistle doesn’t really function. I even took the tools out to see if the compass had interference. Extremely disappointing!

Update 2: I contacted the company about my issues and they were quick to reply and send me two more bracelets. While I appreciate the quick customer service, one of the compasses didn’t work until I removed all the tools. I gave two stars for quick customer service and the fact they sent 2 bracelets.

Cute but they smell so bad I can’t wear them. I waited all day for them to get here! So disappointed. ☹️ Update: I let them set out overnight and the smell faded completely!😄👍
