How strong is a paracord bracelet?

[Monky]

Is there a pony sticker on that bag?

I knew about the strength rating, but don't really have a realistic way to test it. Also, the cord feels like it has got a bit of stretch to it. I figured some photos ought to be a good example of strength. I got those rings at Ace Hardware for under a dollar each by the way. I couldn't find any welded D-rings like I wanted, so those round welded rings were all I had. Those rings are way too large because I was going to make a belt like I made for the wife's waist strap on her BOB. After thinking about how much cord that would take, I thought I'd just try the simple bracelet method and see how well it worked. I'm pretty happy with the result.

If you give me the piece you want to test, I can break it for you on a mechanical load frame and give you the exact breaking load and the amount of overall stretch. Of course you wont have your bracelet anymore but you'll know to the 0.01 lb and 0.001 in what it would have held had you needed it

That's a cool offer Bogie. As long as it holds the bag, that's all I really need. Staglefty makes and sells paracord bracelets though, and he may be interested to know something like that.

Maybe its just me, but it looks like your are getting awfully friendly with that bag.

It is a disturbing photo isn't it?

Looks like the paracord is holding up fine, but you must have really been taking a beating to try and pull guard on the bag.

I would be happy to donate a bracelet to this test if you can give me the results and or video it or take photos.

Let me know.

Oops, I meant Spleify. Always get those screen names confused.
