This everyday carry (wear actually) paracord bracelet for the urban handyman is equipped with practical tools and supplies for daily tasks, readiness in the city, and when on the move. The attached pry bar serves as multi-tool for prying, adjusting a screw, removing nails, opening a paint can, and more. Further supplies allow for repairing a torn tent, lashing items together, securing cords, etc. The Kevlar Utility Cord (KUC) can be used as a snare to catch small game, as a friction saw, or heavy duty rope. The fire starting toggle and tinder wick provides supplies for striking a fire and sustaining in cold weather city life. The visible yellow "caution" tape can be used to signal or mark an oversized load of lumber extending from your truck bed.
