>>647641Only time ever was when my turk's head bracelet wore out and started unraveling and i had to cut the rest of it off. I only wore it in the first place to show off that I was a sailor (and because a girl sailor friend made it for me), not as emergency cordage.
Carrying your cordage on your wrist for any other reason than to show off your macrame skill is retarded, because it gets dirty and frays at warp speed. Just stick a buntline coil in your pack.
