Wrap the paracord around your wrist and make a note of where the cord meets

 Hold the ends of the cord together and find the center of the loop. Take the center of the cord and pull it through one end of the buckle(either side of the buckle, it doesn't matter). Now pull the cord ends through the loop until it's tightened up and attached to the buckle

 Take buckle apart and pull the free ends of the cord through the other part of the buckle, sliding it up towards the attached part. You're going to measure the distance between the two buckle ends for the bracelet size for your wrist. Add about 1 inch to your measured wrist length, this will make the finished bracelet a comfortable fit. You're measuring from the end of the female part of the buckle to the flat part of the male end of the buckle(the part with the prongs, they don't count for the measurement because they fit inside the female part of the buckle when the bracelet is closed).

Use the photo above to start the stitch. Take the cord on the left side and place it over the center strands running between the buckle ends. Now take the cord on the right side under the left side cord, under the center strands, and through the loop of the left side cord. Tighten up the cords so the half knot you just formed is next to the buckle.

 Now take the right side cord over the center strands. The left side cord goes under the right side cord, under the center strands and through the loop of the right side cord. Tighten up the cords(not too tight, just until they meet the resistance of the knot) and now you have a completed knot. You will continue doing the alternating the left and right sides as you go. If you don't alternate, you'll quickly see a twisting of the knots, just undo the last knot and alternate it to correct.

Now that you have reached the end trim off the excess. you need to use a heat source such as a lighter to melt the cut end to keep it from fraying

Now go show off your new survival bracelet!!!
