Perhaps if I put on some thick rimmed glasses.
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.
