The Medic a Paracord Survival Bracelet for First Aid.

This first-aid kit is prepped with a fire starter and tinder for fighting off hypothermia, an emergency whistle for signalling help, a bandage, an improvised suture kit, antibacterial treatment, supplies to purify water, and various other items such as duct tape, magnetic needle, safety pin to pair with cordage for a sling or even fashion a tourniquet from paracord and stick. Use the fire striker as a cutting tool. Tie straight sticks around a broken limb to make a splint. Sew up a wound using the internal strands. For thinner thread untwist one of the internal strands. Make a stretcher by running paracord between two long sticks, or fashion a branch drag to move an injured person. Use the duct tape for tick/splinter removal or to protect against blisters or frost bite. All items wrapped inside a bright orange blaze bracelet.

Remember, these are items I decided on. You can pick and choose first aid gear that fits your needs. Here's what I added to mine.

11- $13, Wound Seal- Quick Clotting Occlusive Dressing- Sterile prepackaged topical powder.

First-Aid Applications: Instantly stop bleeding from open wounds.

PACK IN DUCT TAPE: Some items that are hard to manage, not waterproof, or pose a hazard. These type of items should be packed in a small patch of duct tape. This will not only make them easier to insert in the bracelet but will also give you reusable duct tape (use tape that matches your paracord color). Electrical tape also works well for sharp items like a nail or xacto blade.
Cut a 2”x2” piece of duct tape and lay out a few small items on the end and roll it up.

PACK IN A STRAW: Other items can be packed into a plastic straw. Grab pliers, lighter, and poking tool(screw driver). Cut the straw to fit your needs, burn and pinch one end, stuff the item in the straw using the poker(screw driver or tooth pick), burn and pinch the other end.

First you need to know how to make a standard cobra weave bracelet (you can find plenty of instructables on that).

Begin crafting the bracelet by attaching paracord between the two ends of your buckle and starting the cobra weave. The length of cord between the buckles will be called the “core”.

The core is where you will insert the smaller items such as a needle, bandaid, or water purification tablet. TIP: Fit more in your strap by using a core made up of 6 total strands of cord rather than the standard two. This creates a wider base holding more gear. Remember some larger items can be attached to the outside of the bracelet by running a strand of paracord over it or securing with a ranger band.

WEAVING IN YOUR FIRST AID ITEMS: As you weave, insert small first aid items either individually or in your pre-packaged duct tape/straw. 1. Begin a loose weave but don’t tighten it yet. 2. Insert an item by sliding it up under the open weave. 3 Hold the item secure while you tighten and snug down the paracord. 4. Adjust the item as needed to conceal it as you continue to weave over it.
