It is easy to find the compass, the whistle, the emergency knife and the fire starter. The
fire starter has a black coating on it, you need to scrape that off before it will spark, The
YouTube video that explained that part. As soon as I got that coating scraped off it
sparked like a champ!!! So the clips that connect both ends have goodies in he middle,
one side has the small emergency knife and the other side has the fire starter in it. You
just use both of those for a spark.

The compass and whistle are built into the clips as well, so it's all right there on your
wrist. One thing to keep in mind though is the fire starter may cause magnetic
interference with the compass because of it's iron content. Simply unclip the ends and
then use the compass.
The rest of the bracelet is paracord, enough to make a trap, a shelter and some fishing
line if need be. Honestly you'll probably never need all of the paracord but it's nice to
have it in excess in the event you need to make an emergency stretcher or maybe a
sled to drag equipment or gathering fire wood and so on.
