I've made a couple of those survival bracelets (without the clips), and they're fun little projects. Before school started, I was working on monkey fists, but now I'm just to busy.

OP Tolly Junk Yard Dog Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 1,532 TEXAS!	Quote Tolly, I have apparently "seen" the glow-white cord without giving it much attention. It never really occured to me about the potential values. I will need to look into that more for some of my fixed bladed lanyards and fobs. If you have anything made up with the glow cord mixed braid, Please post some pics. I would love to see how a glow cord mix might look more natural or white (???). ---------- . Hey KG, I couldn't find any pics of my projects that I have done using the reflective cord, but I did find out that you can once again get actual mil-spec 550 with the reflective tracer in a few different colors here http://www.1sks.com/store/550.html . You can get either black or neon orange in small quantities but to get any other colors you have to buy a 1000ft roll.
