The listing, Survival Necklace - Trail Buddy© has ended.
I created this for the equestrian people who love to go trail riding. I thought this would be a good way to carry a rope without hanging a rope from the saddle.
The survival necklace is made with Paracord 550, which is parachute cord.
I used pink and purple paracord to create this necklace. There is also 3 purple jingle bells attached. The soft jingling of the bells help keep the horse calm and focused during a trail ride.
This one is made with approximately 56' of paracord and after braiding, it's 56" long. I attach a side-release buckle that is 5/8" wide and an alligator clip that is used to clip to the horse's mane so the necklace will not slide down the horse's neck when it lowers it's head.
In case of an emergency, such as a piece of tack breaking, a log pulled out of the trail or mending something, the Trail Buddy© can be unbraided and used in an emergency. There are many uses for the paracord 550. It is able to pull up to 550 lbs.
That was the reason I thought it would be useful for trail rides on either horse back or ATVs.
