Chelsea Cheff provides safety element for host of uses while living her dream in Montana – SOS Gear

The impetus for launching SOS Gear http://sosgearmt.com/ came when Chelsea’s husband Corey wanted to buy a paracord survival bracelet. He figured having the strong, thin rope always with him would be handy if his chainsaw cord ever broke. Then his uncle fell 40 feet out of a tree, emphasizing that preparedness for an emergency is always a good idea.

"People want to stay in Montana, and given that there aren’t that many large corporations here, people try to figure out a way to stay," Kregg Aytes, dean of the Jake Jabs College of Business and Entrepreneurship at MSU in Bozeman

"To be able to do what we love — hunting and running my own business — you make time," she said.

From bracelets Chelsea has expanded SOS Gear to include bow and rifle slings, belts, lanyards, key chains, game drags and bird carriers. She even braids handles for insulated tumblers.
