    This is an often over looked skill and it allows you to keep your emergency cordage for more critical tasks. As an aside, your wonder hound Daks has got the perfect dogs life, it would seem, he gets to go to the woods with his best friend, dig up whatever interests him, roll in the dirt, swim in the pond and shake that water off onto his buddy. Life is good.

    1:16 i did that once. grabbed a handful and tried to pull it out and sliced up my hand. the worst part of it is that when someone asks why your hand is all bandaged you have to say "yeah i got cut pulling grass out of the vegetables."

  • @BullRonin

    I've seen this subject covered many times. I understand the concept, but have always been lost on the connecting new pieces part. This is the first vid, where everything in the cordage making process makes sense. AWESOME!

  • @onegreenev

    Hey Lilly, das war echt nen super Videos. Soviel Infos auf einmal. Alles super erklärt und auch direkt in der Praxis gezeigt. Als du meintest, das man die Wurzeln auch für einen Bowdrill nutzen kann, dachte ich erst "jaja als ob das klappen würde" und 2 Sekunden später belehrst du mich eines besseren :D sehr geil. Mach weiter so, ich freu mich immer wenn es wieder etwas neues auf deinem Kanal gibt :).

    My favorite cordage material is dogbane. I collected it in the fall, make cordage with it in the winter, and use it for projects during the summer. This winter I am going to make a net to cover my blueberry bushes from birds with the cordage I make.

    Ok , getting serious ... The nettle fibre is the strongest natural fibre ...the bowmans in the past , were making bow string from netthe fibre , because is verry strong and (verry important ) it is not stretchy !!!!
    Great video about natural fibres Lilly !!! Congrats !!!

    Sinew from deer makes great cording. Natural, durable, and if you wrap it around something when it's still wet it will shrink tight.

  • @TheAussieGunBunny
    @TheAussieGunBunny 8 років тому

    on a side note: this cordage being made is wet cordage, which will shrink as it dries. this is great for building structures as it will tighten and will only be removable by cutting.

  • @mdouble100
    @mdouble100 8 років тому +1

    Excellent video, very clear instruction. Here in Canada spruce root is used as a traditional lashing material in building the famous birch bark canoes. It is first steamed to make it more flexible. As it dries it shrinks and so tightens each joint.

  • @ainolcrystal6182
    @ainolcrystal6182 3 роки тому

    Since this is over 6yrs old video, am pretty sure you've come across other willow cordage making vids, where fibers are boiled with wood-ash, and oh boy do that make a difference with the strength of cordage made after. So this is meant as reference to newer viewers, wishing to learn cordage making themselves, its fun. I came here to see how stinging nettles are prepared before twisty turny ;)

    My favorite knot is the Figure 8 (ABOK # 570, p 95.) and the Figure 8 loop. There is a lot of variations which is great for someone who only ties rope a couple times a year. There are plenty of better knots but I don’t use them enough to remember them.

    Great video! We were waiting our turn to use bows and arrows with the Cub Scouts and they were playing in a field of wild grass. I passed the time teaching them how to make cordage with it. I didn't have the technique down but I like your method of twisting one strand then the other. Awesome! Thanks!

    @TheTiDman 8 років тому

    Nice info. For making a shelter or other survival related stuff this could be essential knowledge. While you twist the material into cordage it is also possible to braid it, like in a 3-strand braid. I have used this method to make slings (as in the stone-throwing weapon) from grass and bark. Also, long ago I learned from my grandmother how to make cordage from twisting long thin saplings.

    You can make the willow bark cordage stronger by simmering the fibers in water mixed with ashes form your fire, then drying it in the sun before you twist it into cordage.

  • @FGDDD7
    @FGDDD7 8 років тому

    With the stinging nettle cord, it's best to hang it out to dry before making the cord as it will shrink a lot after drying, which will loosen a cord if it was made immediately after picking, even if you didn't soak it.
