Most of us have those bad to the bone survival
bracelets. Some of us make them
ourselves, others buy them from the hundreds of companies that make them. If you google “survival bracelet” you will
come back with over 2.8 million hits.
Needless to say finding one is not a hard task. I have reviewed a few companies and they all
provided top notch craftsmanship, great customer service and were Veteran
owned. Recently I found a new one that
really stood out to me. Superesse Straps.
Located in North Carolina, this Husband and Wife duo are the
heartbeat of their tiny company. They
buy small batches of supplies and take their time making each item to
order. They stand out to me because of
the variety of items they offer.
Suppresse Straps are Everyday Wear paracord bracelets
equipped with quick deploy EDC & Tactical tools and outfitted with an
internal supply core filled with emergency survival supplies.
One of my
favorites is the patch kits. Each patch
has a hand cut opening into the Velcro backing. The opening allows you to slide
small Survival/Tactical supplies inside the morale patch. They can provide items
to fit in the patch or outfit with your own supplies. Their offerings of items really cover any
environment and are too numerous to list here.
Burn proof camp rags, anklets, key fobs, lanyards, reflective drop kits, tactical tissues, and watch and paracord band kits round out some of their offerings. They also do custom work so if you have an idea give them a call.
Hand weaved and stitched in North Carolina, Wes personally picks, packages and ships each and every order while Diana is the seamstress and weaving master. Wes has a U.S. Army background form the Airborne world, he developed a relationship with para cord, or 550 cord as most of us know it, throughout his career. He made survival bracelets for everyone on his team and then had the idea of stashing other items in them. Fire starters, fishing gear, lights, whistles, handcuff keys, can openers, and a slew of other items that can be weaved into the products. They offer over a dozen different colors of cordage and even have a “Firecord” offering that makes getting a fire going easier.
No one knows when you will be thrown into a situation where you find yourself separated from your pack or gear. Having one of their kits is more than just some paracord to string a tarp or tie some wood together. With the Superesse Straps you can make a fire, signal, purify water, AND string up a shelter. I am surprised he hasn’t figured out how to weave in a cell phone.
So head on over to their website and check out all the cool stuff these great folks can make you. Remember this is a VERY small business, every order helps these folks stay in business. Support small, Vet owned businesses and especially companies that source USA made materials!
