Like the original cobra stitch paracord survival bracelet tutorial, this video teaches you to make a survival bracelet using 550 pound paracord, and using a cobra stitch, except this bracelet uses two cord colors instead of one. Paracord is an extremely versatile survival tool, and the bracelet easily disassembles into one long piece of cord. The bracelet is held together with secure plastic buckle. You can also use this technique to make dog collars, leashes, gun straps, bag straps, guitar straps, belts, and more!
