Paracord bracelet with fire starter
Wearable bracelet that unravels into 8–12 feet of strong cordage, with integrated ferro rod fire starter, striker, and sometimes compass/whistle. Keeps emergency gear on your wrist instead of taking pocket space.

- 2Ferro rod at least 2 inches long (tiny ones wear out fast)

- 4Quick-release buckle so you can deploy it in seconds
Skip
- Fashion versions with thin decorative cord that won't hold weight
- Compasses so small they're useless for actual navigation
