Thank you for sharing these skills with us, outdoors enthousiasts. This video is very (very) good and one of the best I know of. I definitely want to see your video idea of a bow drill kit sunk in water and still make a fire out of it. Again, thank you man.
I cant thank you enough. this was the most useful video I have seen yet on hot to make rope. & it one of the best how to's a common man can do something. I really appreciate this & you for it. thank you, keep up the good work
i imagine well in the past a community making natural cordage from hemp. They are processing a whole lot of it, and the final stage of burning of the stragglers was done in a small room over a small fire. The worker gets a little goofy after the room fills with smoke. Best job ever.
Great video, thanks. I love making cordage, I use thin paper tape at work and turn it into pieces of strong cordage, I find making cordage very relaxing although I think some of my coworkers think I'm a little crazy they still seem impressed that you can make rope out of something so thin and weak.
Bravo! Definitely the best natural cordage videos on you tube. Carefully explained with enough detail without being boring. Love your posts dude, please keep em coming :-)
Great job. The over-the-shoulder look makes it a lot easier to grasp the idea. Watch all your videos, I think they are some of the most informative out there...you big "beast!" Lol
That video you suggested would be awesome. Maybe gathering bowdrill materials in the rain? Or wet in some way. And your bow drill material preferences. Thanks Joshua.
This is an excellent video i can't wait to try it! I have yucca plants in my yard and am trying to learn how to make use of them. I want to learn how to make simple trellises and garden structures just with the materials grown in the garden. If I master making cordage, I'll be able to make plant supports without spending any money- just some pruned branches and yucca leaves.
Thank you for your videos, I have now made cordage from the yucca plant and a deer bone fiber comb. Extremely useful information. Looking forward to the soaked bow and drill fire start video. Thanks again.
by far and away the best cordage making video I've seen on the net. very informative filling in the "why" rather than just the "how to" which I think is always very helpful in understanding what you're trying to accomplish. Thanks for sharing again man, your channel kicks a lot of ass. cool mug by the way
"I'm a monster." LOL! I'm glad you did this video. I had watched your "squirrel snare/stinging nettle cordage" video here: How to make a simple squirrel snare from stinging nettle but, the different camera angles & better video quality with this video, make it worth watching.
This is absolutely brilliant! I have always wondered how to make cordage out of natural resources found in any forest. Do you have a video on how to make cordage from tree bark?
Good to see you Joshua, great video. Looking forward to your spring videos, hoping for a roundup of your favorite ohio edible's........ whats your thoughts on gurilla gardening in wooded areas? Once again thank you for your time and knowledge. =)
Thank you for your Videos. I am a Mother of 10 children and I love to teach them things that will Actually help them in a real world. May I ask where you learned your skills?
6'5"? That makes me respect your abo days that much more bud. It takes a serious number of calories to keep a dude that size rocking, particularly when he's out in the elements. Amazing stuff.
Had pretty good success with making cordage from milkweed. Wondering how exactly to process willow to make cordage. Or any bark for that matter. Seems like i can never pull off long enough strands.
Joshua, your work speaks for itself! Awesome Brother! Thank you for posting. Be sure and visit Josh's FaceBook page and read where he stayed in the wilderness for a YEAR with nothing but what he made, it's quite a nice story.
if i was in a survival situation i would do this during the night time near my campfire. it would go dark at like 6-8pm and rise at 6-7am , to that's 12 hours , we only need 8 to sleep and i can stay a few hours doing cordage and other things i gathered near my camp. also you get really bored with no electricity so thi is good for taking a some of your time and it also comes very useful
Thank you. I just happen to have a bunch of yucca in my back yard that I have been protecting cuz everybody wants to get rid of it. Ha! Now I can say, "Look what we can do with this." . Listen to Momma!
Could this be done with hide cut into strips as well? I have heard of making a bowstring out of squirrel raw hide by spiral cutting the hide and I was wondering if this would be the way to turn the hide strip into cordage.
julie henderson it will over time just like any other rope if you are using plant material...of course animal fibers last much longer but a plant fiber rope will last for years
After you make, say, 1 foot of this, could you make a second foot, and use the same method to create 1 foot of cord that is twice the thickness? Also, roughly how many pounds can this hold?
I'm curious, does it have to be away for the first time then towards you for the second or could you do towards you for the first and away for the second?
Thank you for sharing these skills with us, outdoors enthousiasts.

Again, thank you man.
I just wish I could spend a week or more learning from you. this is a very well explaind way to make cordage. thank you.

went directly into my favs. awesome video. thanks

Nice seeing you again Joshua. Video reminds me of good times. Thanks for posting. Jim
Your tutorial was perfect. Anyone could make cordage after viewing this video. Strong performance.
Just plain awesome
Very well explained, thank you so much!!
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
I just love your teaching style.
Great job, as usual!
Awesome video. I like how you just get straight to the point. Very informative. I appreciate it, thanks man.
Thank you for your valuable information. I have learned so much from you.
Earned yourself a new sub with your intuition and humor
Very nice!!!
Great cordage video. Thank you.
Great Video! Your explanations were spot on. Keep up the good work.

ive been trying to figure out how to do this forever! thank you!
Good stuff. Thank you.
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Well done,very informative.
yes sir this is how bowstrings are made from hide as well

Great cordage video!!!
Waiting for the sling video.

the man is a BEAST!!
Thank you for your Videos. I am a Mother of 10 children and I love to teach them things that will Actually help them in a real world. May I ask where you learned your skills?
Nice to see a new video. It's been a wile!
I was waiting to get Rick Rolled again Joshua lol. Glad to see you still in action!
Awesome
6'5"? That makes me respect your abo days that much more bud. It takes a serious number of calories to keep a dude that size rocking, particularly when he's out in the elements. Amazing stuff.
huge fan bro thanks a ton!!!

Loving your vids mate
wow, that shit was really well explained. awesome info
Hey, awesome video. How would you process bamboo, to get the fibers? We have a bunch of it, and I would like to extract the fibers out of it.
it sure can
Thanks :D
im really not sure...retting may work on bamboo but i havent tried it
Joshua, your work speaks for itself! Awesome Brother! Thank you for posting.
Be sure and visit Josh's FaceBook page and read where he stayed in the wilderness for a YEAR with nothing but what he made, it's quite a nice story.
nice I'm having trouble with doubling two start pieces together. they unravel
Fun and informative. +1 sub
your so smart
hey josh thanks for the sub, i have really enjoyed you videos for some time now..you have excellent skills.
..bill
if i was in a survival situation i would do this during the night time near my campfire.

So over time the cordage won't get brittle or rotten and break?
julie henderson it will over time just like any other rope if you are using plant material...of course animal fibers last much longer but a plant fiber rope will last for years
I use elk fat - deer fat ... any type of animal fat . Butter will work as long as it does not contain salt .
No way in hell am I going rock climbing attached to only that...but still very informative and helpful :)
Does the drying out of the cord affect it's strength over time?
Awesome video!!! after you made the first strain was that strong enough for a bow string?
dadawg101 probably not...its much better to use animal fibers for bow strings
After you make, say, 1 foot of this, could you make a second foot, and use the same method to create 1 foot of cord that is twice the thickness? Also, roughly how many pounds can this hold?
Hey Joshua can make the video on how to make the sling out of natural cordage, I'd love to see your take on it...
Peace Anthony ✌️😊
great idea. as soon as I get some free time I'll work on that
Awesome brother I can't wait to see it ✌️😊
What thickness of cordage would be best for a bow string?
May I ask what is that plant? By the way, a very nice video. Thank you.
yokotze118 yucca
can hair be used to make cordage?
I'm curious, does it have to be away for the first time then towards you for the second or could you do towards you for the first and away for the second?
rjwaters3 you can it either way as long as you have tension against itself
Alright thanks I was pretty sure but not certain enough.
Do you have any experience using a Fireplug for fire starting?
So how do u extend the length i couldn't see
6'5", 300lbs? that doesn't sound like a monster, that sounds like a mirror!!! lol.
Gentle giant
Hey guys so basically can you take Yukka plants and Sinew and make a powerful hybrid bowstring?
Lil Peanut#1 thats a really cool idea but no, it is better to just use one or the other. Sinew is amazingly strong as it is.
Okay thanks!
