Quick and Easy Blackberry Bramble Basket

- Update: I now have a video available showing how to use large-stemmed blackberry vines! • Himalayan Blackberry B...
If you saw my Tidal Art video • Tidal Art , you know that I'm fascinated with using natural materials to create art. Lately, I've turned in the direction of blackberry vines.
The Pacific Blackberry (Rubus Ursinus) is an ideal plant to work with. It's strong, 5-10 feet long, flexible, easy to prepare, and grows like crazy in the Pacific Northwest. I've been working with it almost nonstop for the past six months, and haven't even put a dent in the local population. This video is an example of what can be done with it. This basket is a utilitarian use, but it can be used for fancier crafts and art as well.
I apologize for the occasionally fuzzy picture. The day was amazingly humid, and the lens kept fogging up. But part of working in nature is taking what you get (it's part of what I love about it).
And thanks to Jon of Jon's Bushcraft for his excellent tutorial on using blackberries (brambles to those on the other side of the pond) as a basketmaking material www.bushcraft.ridgeonnet.com/b... . His website is a treasure trove of bushcraft ideas and instructions.
Love me a man who forgets a bag but remembers his tools for basket weaving. Always be prepared
Oh, I had my bag. Didn't you see the backpack I had on while riding my unicycle? I just didn't want to squish the berries.
@@PacoWarabi you've ruined my beautiful fantasy
@@SelaciousCrumb Ruining beautiful fantasies - isn't that what love is all about?
@@PacoWarabi I love your spirit
@@PacoWarabi hear, hear. Sadly, you are correct. However, making a basket can help with a broken heart.
videos like these are just convincing me more and more to run away into the woods and become a forest goblin
Some days, I dream of that too.
Amen.
Let me know when you're ready to go...I can be your forest friend too. Different huts but fireside buddies? BTW...I make a mean stone soup!!
Gobble goblin
This is exactly what UA-cam exists for. Thank you.
I got recommended a pine needle basket weaving tutorial and now yt recommends me this lol
Not gonna complain though these are pretty cool
Even if you never actually make a basket, watching someone else do it can be very relaxing. I'm the Bob Ross of basketry!
If you really want to go deep, I have a 45-minute basket making video (link in the description), made from Scotch broom leaves. You have been warned . . .
hehe I’ll definitely watch it these are really quite relaxing, and it’s making me want to try it myself!
Same! lol
same
Dude sameeee
dang, 9 years later and youtube finally recommanded something interesting!
I spent a year in Girl Scouts to learn stuff like this, and never did. Learned more in this video than my entire scouting career….before getting kicked out for losing my cookie orders sheet
You had to be in Boy Scouts for this kind of thing. I begged to be in BS when I was little. I didn't get why girls could only be in GS where you got to learn baking & cooking & knitting & sewing... Blech. I was the neighbourhood tomboy, no question.
i love that i saw this ages ago and yet youtube decided to show it to everyone again at the same time lol
I love when old niche videos suddenly get millions of views for no apparent reason. Warms my heart.
Funny enough I might actually use this because I have a big patch of wild blackberries in my backyard that's in need of some thinning.
Huckleberries, because the basket is tiny!
I was homeschooled, we did this sort of thing for credits. We learned how to make them out of grass, reads, vines and thin wood strips that we steamed or boiled to weave.
You wrote "leaned", but probably meant to write, "learned". There is an "R" sound in "learn". The word "learn" almost rhymes with "stir", "whir", "lure", "burr", "her", "fur" et cetra
Samwise do you have heatstroke? Learn certainty does not rhyme with stir! 😂😂😂 not any other your other crazy words. What is an et cetra!!! Do you know what etcetera means....🤔 😂😂😂Aluminium.....
@@samuelmuldoon4839 Oh my god I missed typing an R! Oh shit I must be stupid! Yes yes type out a whole bunch of shit that doesn’t even apply to a typo of a single letter and I believe you meant “etc.” which stands for “etcetera: a number of other things or persons unspecified.” Mine was a typo. Yours just makes you look stupid. It’s even funnier that you were trying to be smart thinking you were making me look stupid.
@@teddyapproved unfortunately samuel has a sad life and he lives for these moments to get his kicks. haha!
@@MoeSlislack 😂
I think it is an excellent video for these reasons 1) Voice is soothing. You only say the words and instructions that are needed. Not too much, not too little 2) Instructions consistent with what you are demonstrating 3) No annoying or loud music in background that obliterate your verbal instructions 4) Sometimes less is more. Simple, clear and practical. Good Job.
Thanks! I've seen enough instructional videos that break one of those rules, so I try to make the kind of video I'd like to see. With more jumping. And unicycles.
Love how he jumps in like a badass, then talks like a sweetheart. That is just gorgeous, imo.
Who needs a bag when you can weave a basket? If I get stranded on an island, I want this guy as my survival kit😁
I adore this video. Not just for the educational content, but for the 'vibe' this person has. As a child I was in a program where, just about every week, we'd do something in nature (learning to use a bow, carving, building fires, fishing, hiking, foraging, etc..) Besides that, being in the 2010s, "random" was cute. I think the intro & outro segments of this video captures that well. Thank you, Paco, for this nostalgia and education. I hope you're doing well wherever you are.
“It won’t win any beauty contest.”
I think it’s lovely and useful. It’s just perfect.
This is such a wholesome video. Love to see people (especially men) just having hobbies and enjoying nature and acknowledging the simple pleasure of making your own woven basket to pick wild blackberries in the forest. So awesome 😊
I have no idea why youtube decided to recommend this to me, but I'm sure glad it did. The vibes are immaculate, the basket is Lovely, and you've mixed fun into an informative video seamlessly.
Thanks! I don't know why this video gets recommended either (or why people choose to click on it), but I'm glad you watched.
What an awesome video! I am 65 years old. My entire life I have wanted to know how baskets are made. In 14 minutes, now I know. Thank you!
I love how this dude is still active six years later, responding to all the people that correct him
It's a hobby . . .
I literally didn't even notice that this video was that old until I read your comment lol. When you watch these videos you assume they are something new lol. I'm asking questions like he made it last week lol. Good observation
@@averyroseshow1015 When it comes to blackberry vines, six years doesn't really make that much difference. My camera is better and I have less hair, but the technique still works.
I still respond because I get notifications on my phone when someone comments. Gives me the chance to talk to random strangers without having to look for them. Works great during the shutdown (even though the video is timeless, this will be a dated reference)!
The disarming goofiness is awesome and I'm definitely gonna make a blackberry vine basket on my next camping trip, now.
Clicked to watch a basket being made. Was met by a hoptoad of a man on a unicycle and knew I was in a good place. 😂
I bet they taste at least three times better being brought home in that basket🤘
Wow i never thought I'd ever find basket weaving so entertaining.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Appreciate you!
A video from 2013 randomly showed up in recommendation... then I found comments from just hours ago. Really random. Beautiful basket tho
Even more random is the creator of the video responding within a few hours of you posting.
@@PacoWarabi pacoo
@@SuperPhoneDialer Yes, that's me.
@@PacoWarabi Haha thats so true
Welcome to the world of random UA-cam recommendations!
suddenly youtube is recommending me survival skill videos and i feel like considering we're in the middle of a pandemic this is trying to tell me something
Think of this more of an Arts and Crafts video. They're just trying to help you relax!
Mortal beings not moral ,darn typos lol
@@jasonblanton7185 your previous comment was deleted for spreading COVID and other conspiracy misinformation. This is off topic and unwelcome on my channel.
@@PacoWarabi so much respect
7 year old video
UA-cam: ah yes aged to perfection
Like a fine glass of milk.
@@PacoWarabi XD ewwww, it might just be chees at that point
@@passion5235 if only it were cheese.
I like how you add little flourishes of silly to your chill and informative videos.
That's the only way I know how to do it. After 10+ years on UA-cam, I still feel self-conscious in front of the camera, so if I make a fool of myself on purpose, I don't need to worry about making a fool of myself on accident.
My wifes uncle was blind and he made this with only feeling he passed away in his sleep and we still have some of his beutiful handy work he made serving trayes etc.
Me scrolling through UA-cam videos and seeing weaving a basket with blackberry brambles:
Ooooo, yes please!
This was delightful and easy to follow. Can't wait to try it! 🙂
I'm watching this so if one day I get stuck in forest with my friends I can impress everyone with my basket making skills
This is great! Thanks for making this vid! I am so fed up with all the damn berry vines in my yard and now I have a use for them, lol. The little bastards better be afraid, its basket time.
"The little bastards better be afraid, its basket time!"
I would pay money to see an action/horror movie that worked that in that line of dialog!
The Bob Ross of basket making...
Use happy little vines . . .
I've just grown a real appreciation for wicker baskets. And while I'm at it... all handmade items, ever.
I'm not sure how this came up in my feed, but I'm so happy that it did. I've learned a new skill today!
Correction, my young grasshopper - you haven't learned the skill until you've made your first basket.
Every video should start with a jump in! I want to see it everywhere - news casters jumping into their desks, sit com actors jumping into their scenes - I want it everywhere!
I would love it if that became a fad!
Good to see an informative video on how to make items that could be useful when SHTF situations. When your lost in the wilderness and a store run is not an option.
This man's a legend... he's still replying to comments after seven years...🙏🙏🙏
Does try make me a legend? Or just lonely?
I love that you are still responding to comments 7 years later. Hope you all the best!
Thanks! I get less than 10 comments a day, so it's manageable. I'd rather talk to people on here than other forms of social media.
Word. 😂😅same dude. Bigtime.
Thank you for this VERY simple and informative tutorial. I also must commend you on the beautiful and gentle way you have handled critics and out and out trolls. It makes me wish I knew you in person. You''d have a very calming effect on me and teach me to not be so hot headed at times.
Thank you! I sometimes do give sarcastic replies to my trolls, but mostly because it's fun to troll them back. For the most part, though, legitimate disagreements are a good opportunity for learning on both sides. I work with international students in my offline life, so there is plenty of difference of beliefs. I feel like it's what makes life interesting!
Sometimes my recommended videos turn out to be really good. This was one of them!
The algorithm gods work in mysterious ways, but I'm glad they bring people like you to my channel.
@@PacoWarabi Thank you, I subbed!
Two things I loved about your video:
1. The comprehensive, straightforward and helpful tutorial on how to make a basket
2. The way you say "Like so..."
I think it's a beautiful basket! Beats plastic every day of the week!
Majestic Elf man sharing his Elvish wisdom.
this is probably one of the best videos on youtube....nice guy, forest, an actual good tutorial...life is great
this is probably one of the best comments on youtube....nice person, positive comment, actually good spelling...thanks!
Ah yes 6 years ago, such great timing.
Really cool video by the way. I usually don't fully watch videos similar to these but you were really informative and funny too which made me finish the whole vid!
Wow a lot of comments are pretty recent
Guess we all just suddenly thought "i wanna learn to weave"
Something like that. I had that video saved some time ago, but thought... Hey, I need to look that up and finally watch the rest of it. Poof- there it was in my recommendations. Seriously. Amazing, huh?
Now, a guy who knows how to weave a basket is truly a gem!
You have no idea how well that works in bars -- "Excuse me, I know how to weave a basket!"
Great clip, idea & energy.I have a blackberry bush at the bottom of my garden here in UK 🇬🇧 . You’ve given me a great idea to make miniature pots out out of the vine for seedlings. Then instead of disturbing the roots, I can pop the basket straight into the ground or another plant pot, of which would biodegrade down & act as a slow releasing fertiliser. Voila 😘👌🏾👌🏾
Great recycling & reuse of nature, & less use on plastics.
Cheers Paco.
I love that idea! Although if the blackberry bush has larger stems and larger vines, you might want to try the technique I show in my other bramble video (link in the description). I would love to see someone try this and report how it works!
PacoWarabi oh wow. Yes I will have a look at that clip, & also check the thicknesses to choose one of your techniques are best suited.
Cheers Paco, n keep up the good works & vibes. 😘
@@mbrown2776 Thanks! I really want to see the end results of the experiment!
The unicycle, the calm attitude, the little basket...this whole thing made my day loads better. UA-cams recommendation are either way off or incredible, this one was definitely one of the great ones. Thanks for adding some laid back nature crafting to my day dude.
Aww, thanks! I can't really take much credit. I made this over seven years ago -- it was the UA-cam gods that decided now was the time it needed to come into your life.
Green honeysuckle vines work real well too, and the end product is beautiful, as well as useful.
I've spent my entire life outdoors, and I've never seen anything like this. Great video, great lesson. I cannot wait to try it.
Glad you liked it! Just wait for my next basketry video. Even more opportunities . . .
Holy crap! You've never been indoors! Unbelievable!
I spend part of my life indoors, part of it outdoors, like most people. Your life fascinates me!
It's 1:30AM but goddammit I need to know how to make a basket out of blackberry brambles!
Ain't UA-cam grand?
That's right.
Now you know basket weaving.
Such a nugget of forest berry gold.
I feel this comment.
Me: oh look, the plant I'm pretty sure that guy was using in the video
2 hours later me: why is this basket making my skin burn? I'm sure it's fine.
1 day later me: so uh the difference between blackberry bushes and poison ivy turns out to be that BLACK berries grow on only one of them
@@Cyanapanasati I greatly appreciate this! Thanks
You just taught an old man a new trick. Can't wait for summer.
Warning - it can get addicting!
I have to pause the video and comment on how much I’m enjoying this video. Thanks for the info
You're quite welcome!
So interesting that 23K people in the year 2020 would want to know how to make a bramble basket. :) And me as well!
To be fair, they've been watching and commenting on this video for the past seven years. Not all of them have been in 2020.
This man is so precious and cute and I am so pumped to make baskets from the ridiculous amount of blackberry vines that are running a muck on my property.
Thanks! I think I'm precious and cute as well!
Depending on whether they are the thin-stemmed variety or the thicker, more upright type, I have another basketry video that might fit better. Link in the description. Around here, it's the bigger Himalayan Blackberry vines that run amok.
This video lives in my head rent free
I'm sure the video appreciates it. I don't make any money off my videos, so it's nice for the video to have a place to live.
I know what you mean. I would want the knowledge in this video to be a part of the library in my escape vehicle for when civilization blows up
People like you give me hope for this planet!
That intro sure got my attention😂👏👏👏 Thanks for uploading!
Was supposed to be spring cleaning the yard but had the urge to make a basket with all the vines on the ground.. followed this video and it was super easy and fun! Thank you for sharing!
Warning: May cause shirking of yard maintenance. I ended up weaving bindweed instead of pulling it one Saturday. The yard didn't look great, but I still have the woven bindweed hanging on my wall!
I didn't ask for this and I don't think 1.6 million others did either.
But I believe when I say I was not disappointed, no one was.
Thank you UA-cam algorithm for recommending this as of now, 7 year old video.
There's a wall of blackberry brambles that grows next to where I live. During summer the long tendrils that reach out become a tripping/tangling/tearing hazard for when it comes time to harvest berries. They tend not to produce as much as the shorter branches (I believe it's because they're part of the expansion efforts of the plant to claim its territory, so that takes energy away from the more fruit-bearing branches.) Now that there's a use I can actually put them to, I'm more excited to trim them back this year and put them to work carrying the very berries they produce! Thanks for sharing a simple how-to guide.
It seems the UA-cam algorithm is blessing you, 8 years after the video was posted.
Dude, I knocked one of these out with a nice handle. So quick and fun. Gave it to my wife for Easter.
Way to go! Much better present than a bunch of store-bought flowers.
It brings me joy to come back to this video and see newcomers! Seriously, try basketry. There is something so special and fullfiling about having objets made by yourself at home. Using raw elements from nature boosts it up for me ♡
Excelent video, although I've probably said this before!!
I love using natural materials! I've started experimenting with bone, with the goal of eventually making a bone knife. I want to get to the point where I can make a basket where even the tools I use are homemade and comes from natural materials.
very cool. I've never seen a basket be weaved. it's un-be-weave-able. :)
please stop
walking along the trail!?! dude dont waste ur mad unicycle skills!
Candace Glover Sometimes I walk and sometimes I ride. I'm a maverick like that!
Paco you rock! you should do a video just on your unicycle!
I have - Icycling, Icycling II, Battle Creek Falls, and TraPaco. Check my "Just for Fun" playlist on my channel!
This is some of the best, clear, easy to follow instructions for any project/craft I've come across on UA-cam
Wow, thanks! This was also six years ago. Looking back at it, I think of all the ways I could've done it better, so I appreciate your vote of confidence.
That's the 2020 algorithm moment I ❤️ so much.
I could really use some good algorithms right now. I think I've already watched all the fun videos on UA-cam. All of them.
@@PacoWarabi Not possible. ;) There's always museum lectures on dinosaurs, videos of hikes, and of course cat videos.
@@Biophile23 I just want mindless entertainment. Nothing educational. This is NOT a time to improve myself!
@@PacoWarabi I disagree, I'm learning lots of new skills. (hence posting on this video!) :) But still I think there must be an infinite number of funny pet videos. ;)
@@Biophile23 Oh, I get that it's a great time to learn. I've just been stressed out and tired out lately. But once the creation bug hits again, I'll be right back in, watching all the how-to videos, and creating my own.
Can't wait to play one hour one life in real life bro. Literally building an adobe oven in my parents backyard right now. I learned how to make cordage and now baskets. This is more fun than I thought it would be!
There's something really satisfying about creating things with your hands with just basic tools.
I would love to put them in trees and watch birds make nests in them! 😍
You instantly sold me by jumping into frame. That amount of thespianism needs to be appreciated
Thanks! I either get "that's great!' or "that's stupid!" responses to my jumping. Some people just can't stand a grown man making a fool out of himself.
PacoWarabi it's called living and loving life and more people should do it. Everyone should be a big kid!
I'm glad this showed up on my recommendations again. I love everything about this video (clear instructions, pops of hilarity, engaging pace).
Aww, thanks! I didn't know if any of those things would come through. After all, I am giving a basket weaving tutorial; not something that is inherently interesting. Glad it came together the way I hoped it would.
love the yt recommendation. 8 years later 😃
This was a great video. I honestly don't know how I got here, but I love learning about new things especially ones that are fun and have to do with nature and creating things. Thanks for making this video! You have gained a new subscriber.
I've made many pine needle baskets, but I never thought of this! I love it ! Thank you for taking the time to teach us this! I appreciate that!
You're very welcome! If you like pine needle baskets, I also have a video on how to use Scotch broom "needles" using the pine needle technique. I'm sure I do it all wrong, but it's how I figured it out using a common invasive species here in the Pacific Northwest.
Thank you so much for this video. I went home yesterday and now Im kicking myself for not getting runner canes from my blackberry line. They would be a perfect gift for my neighbor. I've wanted to learn basket weaving for decades. Your video is great, wonderful explanation with no superfluous content. Thank you.
I don't get why there are so many dislikes, this video is freaking great. Iconic.
From reading all the comments since I put this up, I can tell the most common complaints. One, I just "happen" to have my tools with me when I'm out in the woods. Two, it would be faster to put the berries in my hat or in the canvas or in my mouth. Three, the berries are salal, not huckleberry. And four, people in the (primarily male) survivalist community find this video, and are threatened by another man jumping around and riding a unicycle and generally having fun. I'm supposed to be serious!
That covers about 90% of the negative comments. Mostly, people are very nice, but any time you put yourself out there, there will always be people who are offended that I didn't make this video to their exact specifications.
PacoWarabi That’s true, you can never make a video that’s to everyone’s liking... just let the haters motivate you!
@@reverie8223 Oh, I do. After reading all the comments complaining about my jumping in my videos, I take perverse pleasure in putting the jumping scenes in my new videos.
Most people are very nice, though, so thank you!
PacoWarabi Haha I love it!! And you’re welcome :)
In New Jersey, there are honey suckle vines. I found it best to put them while they are green in a barrel in a circle. Let them dry. Then, when I want to weave, I fill the barrel with water, let them soak overnight, then pull them out one by one. They become like rubber and make a perfect basket!
Long Island ,NY.....definitely honeysuckle vines ! Will give it a try with grandkids! Summer project ! Love nature crafts!
Great idea!
ok, you got a new sub, 6 seconds in and a unicycle goes through the scene. im sold!
I don't incorporate unicycling into enough of my videos, but I am going to a mountain unicycle gathering this week, so stay tuned . . .
@13:34 lol reminds me of the way phoebe runs in friends . Just so random and chaotic 😂
I’m so impressed that you’re replying to every comment even though UA-cam decided you should be known six YEARS after you published this video. That alone is worth subbing for... although I suspect you may live around the Greater Vancouver area because these are insanely overgrown there, which would make this even more awesome.
I wish I lived in the Greater Vancouver area. I love it up there! I actually live in Oregon, but definitely similar plants.
I enjoy talking to strangers on here. I don't get paid for any of this, but it's just fun to chat with people who appreciate the work I do.
The unicycle at the beginning really set the tone for the rest of the video, thanks for the pro tips! i've never even seen a huckleberry inrl so i'm sure i'll use this new knowledge often
Apparently you still haven't. As many people have informed me throughout the years, those are actually Salal berries, not huckleberries.
@@PacoWarabi as long as its not poisonous a rose by any other name is just as sweet. Tbh I thought Huckleberry was just another name for blueberry till this video
I've learned a lot from people's comments from this video as well. Mostly that I should have put the berries in my hat, but also the difference between Salal and huckleberries.
I love how you have so much physical energy and expressiveness but a soft, calm voice!
It's hard to be too excited when talking about basketry, so I try to spice things up when I can.
For being created in mere minutes...it's the prettiest basket I've ever seen
Thanks! I've done better, but it's hard to make a basket while holding it exactly a certain distance from me to keep it in focus, and keeping it in frame. It doesn't feel natural at all.
Thank you! This is a great tutorial. I’ve made 2 baskets while in quarantine.
Yay! I'm glad I've given you something to do. I almost got out this weekend to make a basket as well.
What vine did you end up using? I'm curious about the vines I can use. I have woods by my but not sure if my vines are woody enough and will disenagrat
The magical heel click made me want to watch more!
I always wanted to know how to make a basket. Thank you.
Well done. I love this. I live in the High plains. We don’t have blackberries, but we do have tall grass! Thank you.
I’ve been binge watching naked and afraid and really wanted to try some primitive crafting. Luckily for me I have blackberry bushes in my back yard!! This should be a fun quarantine project. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Okay so it turns out the blackberry bushes in my back yard were too woody to weave with. But, I did make a basket out of paper ribbon and string using this method and it’s gorgeous!
It won the beauty contest in my heart
Aww thanks! The basket's not bad either.
Cool I've been trying to do this for years by trial and error! You just removed the error part. Thanks!
I was lucky and got to take a basketry class in college. It helps when someone can teach you!
But don't worry - there will still be plenty of error. It's just productive errors now.
We have SO many blackberries on our property in the PNW. This is a wonderful way to use what we're taking out. Reusable grocery baskets, berry collecting baskets, cherry collecting baskets ... Great idea!!! Thanks for posting!
Wonderful video showing clearly how it is done with perfect filming !!! Thank you very much for this superb tutorial !!!
I used to make these at a camp when I was a kid, in the exact format too!
I should retry this out for memories sake
The magical thing about making a basket using techniques you learned as a kid, is it's a form of time travel. It will bring up memories and emotions that you haven't thought about in years.
Go retry it!
Thank you. I plan to do this with birch tomorrow. Bless you and your gentle touch with teaching.
Thank you. This helps a lot. I have a lot of Muscatine vines that need to be cut back. Instead of throwing them away, I am going to try to make baskets.
I didn't have the slightest idea of making a basket but somehow this video popped up in my suggestions and absolutely enjoyed watching it. Gonna try weaving my first basket.. 🤞Love from India
I'm glad this inspired you! Who knows why UA-cam recommended this - maybe they decided that you needed more baskets in your life.
I know a little about European and native American basketry. It would be interesting to see what techniques have been developed in India over thousands of years.
What a fantastic, easy to follow, so well explained, explanation of how to weave a simple basket, ideal for bushcraft foraging purposes over here in the U.K. - thanks so much for your time and effort; I'm using your tutorial approach to deliver a foraging session this Friday with a group of young people, who will be making one each as part of their day. Thanks again
Great! I love the idea of using these techniques to teach the next generation. Traditionally, this would be passed down from master to apprentice or parent to child in a village; in modern times, I learned from a college class, adapted it to the local resources and shared it on UA-cam, and now you will be teaching a new group how to do this. My college teacher would be so proud!
This heartfelt compliment makes me feel good about people
I love how you still reply on this video
I'm kind've avoiding social media right now, so this way I get to interact, but it's about basket weaving and air conditioners instead of the state of the world.
@only destiel Aww, thanks! You make me want to put out another video totally unrelated to anything. But I guess that would require making the video . . .
Do ever just wonder about the first person who looked at a bunch of vines and said "...yeah, I could twist those around into a container"
Several times while watching this video
They could have very easily been inspired by a bird's nest.
Just saw in the comments that you still reply to people even after 6 years, thats so nice of you☆ I will probably try this tomorrow, but I live in Germany and I believe we only have super spiky blackberries here. I'll try it with some willow tree vines, thanks a lot :))
Willow tree vines are far superior to blackberries, in my opinion. I modified willow weaving techniques for blackberry vines, since I don't have a ready supply of willow.
For the super spiky blackberry, check the link in the description for a different technique to use with those.
@@PacoWarabi thank you, I will :)
@@makkachin9614 let me know how it goes!
