Rescue Belt made on craft day.

Many years ago Kadizzle came up with the idea of making a belt from rope.  The belt could be unraveled and used in an emergency. Kadizzle floated the idea to many outdoor stores.  Many of the stores liked the idea, but Kadizzle never pursued it. 

First Attempt at rescue belt

Now a few different outfits are selling rescue bracelets with about twelve feet of paracord.  Yesterday Kadizzle decided for craft day to make a prototype rescue belt. The rope used for the belt has a breaking strength of 1300 lbs, and the idea is to get sixty feet of rope into the belt.  Since we do a lot of canyoneering, and sometimes dangerous hiking the belt may some day do the job.  Actually doubled you could have thirty feet of small diameter rope that might pull a truck or car out of the ditch.  The picture above shows the prototype that did not work out right.
