    • BB just made a custom stove for my son from a bottle I sent him, and in return I told him I would make him my version of a Survival Bracelet, made from old skool Bozeman Mountain Works Air-Core Pro Dyneema, the 2mm stuff... He said "PIF" as he has one... Sooo, I will, and would like to make one for a newer Hiker... Mine has been part of my EDC since 2005(mine is made with their 1.8mm Dyneema) Let me know if ur interested... Since this cordage has NO stretch, I recommend you measure ur wrist with 2 fingers on top to make sure its long enough... This is what it will look like, but I think I have Green Nite-Ize Paracord, or maybe Purple now...

      I have one of Shellie's and like BB, would feel greedy getting another. However, I'd like to nominate Ewok if she doesn't have one.

      Neither have I. Surely someone needs a bracelet.

      Thanks for the offer Toli, I actually made one last year, but don't wear em, just wanted to try and weave/tie one. I'm going to re-purpose it into a set of 'Ranger Beads" for keeping pace count, been fooling around with a compass, something I've wanted to get back into.

      That's aboot funny... I feel bad BB, the deal was I would make you a bracelet and you would make my son a stove, and now I'm just hangin' :blush:

      Well I should take it then. It would be a reminder of your son. SS made me one at 7.5". It is snug but will wear good I suspect. I like green. Maybe I will design another stove and send it later.

      See what happens when you have a life and can't get on here??? I appreciate the offer even though I found it too late.


      If it is OK with BB, I will make it for you EWOK, I know he already has one... You guys figure it out and let me know...

      The EWOK should get it. But dont think this frees you from receiving another stove. Your son has one, but you don't. I am messing around with a new concept. If I get somewhere, you will get one. If not, you will get one of my current design.

      That would be awesome... I use some form of Alcohol Stove almost every day, and can give you plenty of feedback... Tho, I'm all ways doing it wrong ;)

      That's all SS's doing JJ but thanks for the thanks and a re-thank for the rock sack. Gave it a whirl a few days ago and it worked great. Chances of me getting hung up in the trees just got a lot less.
