Be Smart

I'm not the kind of girl who often has the need for 15 to 20 feet of 550-pound test paracord (I'd rather walk over hot coals than camp again, and don't get me started on extreme sports) but if you're a more rugged type than me, you might be interested in this survival bracelet from Survival Straps.

Not only does it look good as a piece of rugged, rustic jewelry, it can be unwound if you're ever in a sticky situation, and once you've made it back to safety (crossed a river, made it down a mountain, whatever) just send it back for re-winding. Prices start at $20. I'd like to see Tiffany try to match that.
