Bill’s Survivor Bracelets are hand-made para-cord bracelets of a wide variety of colors and styles. Made by an Army Veteran, these bracelets are useful in a variety of situations, from an emergency need for rope to set up shelter to supporting your favorite sports team to a reminder that we are not alone.

While on active duty as an Army Chaplain, I learned of the many uses of 550 Chord. I had used it in a wide variety of times and places; from tying down tarps in California deserts to securing my Gerber multi-tool while flying in helicopters in Iraq, while hiking in the German Alps and as a clothes line during three months at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Having lived in coastal Georgia, the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and near Salt Lake City, I became interested in Emergency Preparedness and I learned about many items including, para-cord bracelets. As I did more research, I realized I could make these bracelets.
I also learned of another use for Bill’s Survivor Bracelets. I work as a Suicide Prevention Program Manager for the Army Reserve. I teach Suicide Prevention classes and encounter many folks who are survivors of suicide attempts or are family members of someone who has died by Suicide.

Bill’s Survivor Bracelets are made as a reminder that each person is not alone. We have strength in us to survive whatever situation we find
ourselves in and we are NOT alone.

If you or someone you know is at risk for suicide please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Veterans (or family members) can reach the Veteran’s Crisis Line by calling 1800-273-8255 (Press 1).
