Combine the ever-craftiness of MacGyver with the brute ruggedness of Rambo and what d’ya get? The target demographic (we speculate) for “Survival Straps”.

Or perhaps they actually offer more everyday practicality? Decide for yourself.

Survival Straps are hand-made of military-spec paracord (paracord: Think ‘parachute’ and/or ‘paratrooper’ and, well, you get the idea) material and come in too-many-to-count color combos.  They’re also offered in several styles, including: Survival Bracelet, Survival Belt (with military-grade buckle and “double-D” rings for more flexibility in tightening/loosing than with conventional belt loops), and Survival key fobs and lanyards.

And, according to the manufacturer, if you break it (i.e. have one of those ‘MacGyver moments’) they’ll replace it less shipping costs, given your hand-written/typed version of the events that transpired and photographic evidence of said MacGyver moment.

Whether you’re an admirer of jewelry, coins, or a little bit of both, these custom coin rings are perfect for you. Made by a stay-at-home dad in Columbus, Indiana, each and every ring is a unique work of art.

You can choose from a wide variety of coins, years, and styles. In fact, you can even send in your own rare or special coin and he will artfully craft a unique ring from your precious possession.

There are lots of materials we have made into fashion choices. Cotton, leather, silk, wool. Heck, we even use silver, gold, titanium, and steel in jewelry making. But of all the materials in the world, concrete definitely would have been voted “Least Likely to be Made a Fashion Statement.”

Until now.

Beat Poet has created a way or people to wear concrete that doesn’t involve getting on the bad side of the mob. These rings are made by casting cement onto stainless steel bands. They come in eight styles and two colors (black and natural gray) but with time, the rings will become personalized due to the concrete wearing away and changing colors.

For a truly personal ring, give these a go.
