Scott Smith : Eternal Outdoors

Picture
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor by training who has moved my family from the Chicago area to Northern Michigan. I am working on building a practice.
My wife and I have are homeschooling our children.  The Lord has blessed us with 4 beautiful children and because I desire to have more time at home, I have join my wife in the hand crafted product world rather than take a job with a local agency.
I have been climbing, hiking, fishing, paddling, diving...just about anything I can do outdoors since I was old enough to make the choice to do so. I also began hunting and fly fishing two years ago and started making paracord 'survival' items to replace the gear I wasn't satisfied with. Everything I make is designed to be used, ruggedly, but is also designed to look great. I incorporate as much uncut paracord as possible into each item I create in case the unforeseen should happen and you need to unravel it to survive. I make standard and custom gear to suit many needs. If you don't see what you like or what you need, simply contact me and I will do my best to create it for you.

Fly Fishing Survival Lanyard Red and Black with a spiral Round Pattern
This Fly Fishing Survival Lanyard has approximately 18 feet of the primary color (neck color) and two, 5 foot sections of the accent color. Each lanyard includes a safety clasp so you don't get hung up on snags yourself, 5 #3 swivels along with a removable tippet holder and a black, clip-on retractor which can be place anywhere you like on the lanyard. I use a flat cobra braid for the neck portion of the lanyard so that it lays comfortably on either a bare neck or with thicker clothing. The remainder of the lanyard is made using a round 4 cord braid which allows you to adjust the tippet holder up or down as you prefer and also allows you to add additional gear, such as retractors, to your lanyard. I also include a removable clip on the bottom swivel which allows you to clip the lanyard to your shirt or waders to limit swinging. Despite all of these features this lanyard is very light and easy to wear. This is my unique, one of a kind design I created after looking for a lanyard that didn't look like every other bead and string fishing lanyard I have seen.
