While I have no doubt that you could probably pull off a good bit of emergency rapelling on the 15 to 20 feet of 550 pound test military issue paracord that each Survival Strap comes with, in all reality you probably won’t. However, as you can see from the picture, they do manage a pretty good outdoorsy look as a watch strap.

They probably aren’t for most people, but if you have an avid outdoor fanatic who owns a big-ass diving watch in your life, if you pal around with federal income tax avoiding, gun collecting survivalist types, or someone who just likes to look the part, then it could make a good gift.

Prices start from $20 and vary according to size. [Survival Straps via Technogad, Oh Gizmo]
