Making Bramble Cordage & 2-Ply Reverse Twist.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- In this video we run through the process of the 2-ply reverse twist, and then using the same method make a length of Bramble cordage. Brambles are easily found throughout the UK and make a very strong cordage that is simple to produce and has a wide variety of uses from shelter building, fishing lines and other primitive projects. Thanks for watching...…...

Nicely done Mark this comes very handy so very useful thanks !!
Hi Robert, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Great demo Mark. Made it alot more simpler than I thought it would be. I'm a jute twine man, but making my own is another skill I need to practice. Thanks for sharing mate, take care.
Hi Andy, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Always a pleasure to hear from you. Yeah you should give it ago. Its always nice trying and learning new skills. You can't fault jute though.... I use it for a lot of things :) Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark! Great instruction on how to make natural cordage. I never thought of brambles, but they seem to be great for that purpose. I will give it a try next time. Have a nice weekend brother and take care! André
Hi Andre, I hope you are keeping well brother :) I often stick to nettles for a quick cordage, but brambles are very strong and still simple to produce the cordage. They recon that the best time to harvest them is when they are in flower. I couldn't wait that long lol. Have a great weekend Andrea. Always a pleasure hearing from you, all the best, Mark :)
Very good Mark, as a professional gardener instead of getting angry with brambles which in some cases growing in hedges and 15ft or higher I can smile and make use of them, natural cordage every where in over grown gardens. Cheers and thanks
Thanks Adam :) I know what you mean about brambles. As a professional gardener they must be a right pain for you. I have seen some growing in hedges. I even saw one climbing around a tree, and hanging from the branches what looked like grape vines were blackberries. The cordage is great stuff and could even be used around the garden for tying plants up. Have a great weekend Adam, all the best, Mark :)
Fantastic subject and a great demonstration. Just got back after a few days in Maastricht seeing my lad. Managed to do some great walks but no sleep-outs. Great to catch up and also the channel growth is looking healthy; well deserved 👏👏👏👏. Cheers Sel
Good morning Sel :) I hope you are keeping well mate. Sounds like you had a nice time in Maastricht. It's a place I have heard of, but never visited. Holland is a nice country. I have a couple of friends who went to university over there and used to visit quite regularly. Always a pleasure to hear from you Sel, have a great week mate, all the best, Mark :)
Great skill to have and more awesome if can teach everyone to practice themselves. You're a great person Mark.
Hi Joel, I hope you are having a great weekend Brother :) Thank you for the kind words Joel, it means a lot coming from someone like yourself. Take care, all the best, Mark :)

Good day mark. Thx for the info a very useful skill to know. Always good to see you Bud..
Hi Victor, I hope you are keeping well bud :) Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave the great comment :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark ;)
Great video Mark. I did not know about bramble cordage. Thanks
Very cool process
Hi Rich, I hope you are keeping well my friend :) Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Thanks mark. I’m growing a patch of nettles in my garden to use for making cordage later this year. Can also be used ( after some serious processing) to weave with; a bit like hemp.
Hi Darryl, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment mate :) Great minds think alike!! I have left a small patch this year for making cordage. I have never tried weaving with it. But that's another craft I would love to try :) I was also looking at flax as well. That looks very interesting for producing cordage. Have a great week Darryl, all the best, Mark :)
Another great video mark. Always great to see you out and about. All the best mate.
Dave
Good evening Dave, I hope you had a nice weekend mate :) It's been a busy one here.30 kids, fishing for two days. All novices..... two days of undoing tangles and been called sir lol. I needed a brew when I got in :) I sent you an email back Dave. I haven't had time to check mine yet. I'm old fashioned and do them on my computer. It would drive me mad if my phone kept pinging all day lol. If you have replied back. I will sort you that Chaga out for you :) Speak soon mate. all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 hi mate I haven't replied or I'm not sure if I have think I'm losing the plot lol. Il go in search of it now
@@MrRealdealdd Hi Dave, LOL yeah you replied back mate :) I said I was going to send the Chaga next week after the Bank holiday. You sent me your address, so I have got that sorted :) Have a great weekend mate and enjoy the extra day. I'm working :(
Hi Mark hope your keeping well mate great video thanks
Hi Shaun, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate :) Thanks for the kind words..... its always a pleasure to hear from you, All the best, Mark :)
Brilliant demo Mark, I'm gonna order some jute twine and give it a crack. Thanks Mark, take care 👍😃
Thanks Mike :) I hope you are keeping well mate. Jute is great for all sorts of things. I always have a spool for making lanyards and tying fixed shelters. Plus it keeps you well practiced for making your own cordage. Have a great weekend Mike, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Thanks Mark, you too, have a great weekend, take care ☺️ 👍
Nice one Mark great process to do when chill in camp, and skill worth learning well explained matey 👍
Hi Trev, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Many thank for watching...… I am just running through the comments and I want to sit and watch your new video. I didn't get time this morning :) Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Great job Mark, was great to find your film when I got in today as I was making nettle cordage this morning 🙂. I usually go for the nettles as it's a little quicker but I think the Bramble cordage is pretty tough. I've caught a lot of fish on nettle cordage, bloomin good stuff and like you say a lot easier to process than Willow etc. I've had some good results with Willow though. Great day to be out there pottering and practicing skills in the forest and a great tip to practice with other materials. Cheers Mark, have a fantastic weekend and hope you're not grafting too hard 🙂👍. Not long until your bushcraft meet now
Hi Rick, I hope you have had a nice day mate :) Just got in myself..... another one closer to retirement lol. I will doing a bit more with nettles when they are a tad taller. I could do with harvesting some for the autumn, when it is harder to get the materials. Yeah working at the weekend again mate!!! Got another kids day on. So a day of not being listened too, and spending it undoing tangles lol. Yeah next weekend is the bushcraft show. Looking forward to it. I tend to stock up for the year, so its a bit of a blow out for me. I fancy a couple of carving tools and they have loads of vintage tool stalls there, so I will check them out :) Have a great weekend Rick, all the best, Mark :)
Quality vid Mark it has to be my favourite time of year also with the woods bursting into life, I must get out in the woods myself soon, very interesting subject and something i have never tried. regards Matt 👍
Hi Matt, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate, and the arm better now :) Yeah, Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons. I prefer to fish at these times as well. Summer is always too bloody hot. Even when it's in the teens lol. Always a pleasure to hear from you Matt :) Take care, all the best, Mark.
Fantastic
Always wanted to try this, now I know how.
Thanks as always for sharing 👍🏻
Hi Michael, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Always a pleasure to hear from you. I meant to do it last year, but it was too late in the year when I tried it. That's the problem with using natural items form the wild. You have to be there at the right time of the year, or you are either too earl or too late. I like nettles for cordage as they need even less processing :) Enjoy the rest of the weekend Michael, all the best, Mark.
Thanks 🙏🏻
Are you planning a nettle one too?
Have you had a kip in the bedroll yet?
Hope your weekend is wonderfilled 👍🏻
I should think so Michael. It is a nice thing to do and I enjoy it, so I will get a video done after the bushcraft show. I'm just waiting for the nettles to grow a bit taller. Yes, I have slept in it a couple of times so far. I had an early start at work, so I kipped over a couple of nights. It is a great piece of kit :) Perfect for this time of the year. Hopefully it will get more uses over the summer too :) My weekend is taken up with free kids fishing sessions. It sounds as fun as it is lol. 8 hours of undoing tangles and unhooking the odd trout lol. Take care Michael, all the very best, Mark.
So glad that you are getting the use out of it.
LOL 😂 my worst nightmare having kids to teach 😱😱😱😱
Thank you brother. I can't seem to respond to specific comments since my reply button has disappeared. For that reason, I'll just respond with a new comment. UA-cam is acting strange on my computer. Anyway, I'm doing well and hope you're also having a blessed weekend brother.
I know what you mean Eric. Mine keeps changing form the old You tube style layout to the new, then back to the old. It has a mind of its own lol. I'm glad you are keeping well :) Take care and have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Another great video brother. Might as well put those pesky bramble bushes to good use.
Hi Eric... I hope you are keeping well brother :) Yeah, brambles can be a right pain. Even so, I would rather turn then into something good, than just burn them and be glad that I got rid of them. The fruit is OK, but it's not worth all trouble they cause. The cordage is more useful to me than the fruit :) Enjoy the rest of your weekend Eric, all the best, Mark :)
Good stuff bro BushmanAOD sent me here, subbed and I will make the time to sift through the archives, you got stuff for me to learn, thats for definite :)
later
Hi Noinch Scruples, many thanks for watching and for the sub. It is vey much appreciated my friend :) BushmanAOD seems like a great guy. I will have to thank him when I next talk to him (well type to him lol). Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Hey buddy , a beautiful day to be outdoors, nice you were able to get out! It's been raining so much here I thought it was me who lived in England lol! 😂
Great demo, well explained and you clearly have some deep bushcraft skills, thanks for sharing it brother!
Take care🍻 Wade
Hi Wade :) I hope you have been keeping well mate. Tell me about it...… it rained non stop when I was off, then went sunny as I went back to work, but just managed to catch the last day before it started raining again today. It's because we had a nice week in April. We will be paying for that all summer now lol. Thanks as always Wade :) Have a great weekend brother.... speak to you soon, all the best, Mark :)
Another useful and great video brother. Brambles and nettles is my favorite natural plant for cordage. Another great plant for me is and the wild rose. I have a demo to my channel. Thumb up and thanks for sharing this video.
Hi brother, I hope you are keeping well :) Always a pleasure hearing from you. I will take a look at the video... we have a plant here called rosehip. I wonder if that is similar? I have often wondered if it could be used. You have got me thinking now lol. Thank you as always for watching and taking the time to comment :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 exactly my friend. Rosehip. We have a lot here in Greece. Is very very strong and for bowdrill. Have nice week brother.
Hi Mark hope your good sorry it's taken ages to watch this but I've been so busy. Great video as always I've not been doing much of the bushcraft things lately but can't wait to get back into it. On the first bit of cordage I was thinking how gutted would you be if you let go then it unwinded but you did explain that it would stay as it was😁👍
Hi Carl, I hope you are well mate and had a nice weekend :) Just finished work and ready for my couple of days off!! Just hope the sun makes an appearance :) I enjoy all your vids Carl, whether it is your bushcraft channel or the Dartmoor explorer. All good stuff to watch and your a top bloke :) Thanks as always for stopping by and it's great to hear from. All the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 thanks Mark that is really appreciated and I hope you have a great few days off and I really do hope we can get together for a camp next year for a bushcraft camp then a Dartmoor camp😁👍
Good stuff bro BushmanAOD sent me here, subbed and I will make the time to sift through the archives, you got stuff for me to learn, thats for definite :)
