For anyone wondering how to finish the cordage so it won't unwind, just tie a simple knot at the end once you're finished

Thank you

Amazing, finally!! a video showing the technique, and how to add more to it. Thank you. Thank-you so much for this. You have taught me a skill I can now hold onto for life! :) I practiced it and it worked! I can now build hammocks, bind shelters, make hats, weave bags and baskets, make snares and traps and even clothing!

I really like how you've shown how to extend the length of your cordage. That part of the technique is often omitted from informational videos like this so I really appreciate you showing it quite clearly. Great Video

I have seen this technique probably 10 times up to now but I had never got it right in my mind! It' s the first time that I really feel I understood it properly! Thank you so much!!!

Dude your tutorial is soooooo much clearer than others on this topic. What if it's in winter and no resilient barks?

K, so you can use bark pieces like him and melt snow on your hand and then moisten it with the melted snow. Rub it until it's like he says in the video.

That was the simplest and BEST explanation I have ever seen about how to do this. Thanks!!! I can't wait to try it.

Watched the video once , got me some cordage material , and weaved me a nice strong foot of cordage (not to mention I am a beginner) excellent explaining also very straight forward ...thanks for this great instructional video . thumbs up from me 👍

Love your videos and gave it a thumbs up, but you didn't explain how to go about getting the fibers from bark. Great video. Thanks for sharing

This is great! finally someone shows how to do addition to the length of the cordage! cheers!

I'm new to your channel so I'm going back and checking out a lot of your older videos. I gotta say that is the best cordage video I've seen. Great camera work and very easy to follow. Thanks!

Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen teaching this, great work! 🤟

I've seen several videos on cordage. I finally feel like i understand how to do it now. Thanks!

Really nice. Something you don't get to se very often, and well-taught!

I have been confused over this for a long time, but you make it very clear.

Absolutely brilliant just needed to learn for some crafts I’m doing, this was quick and easy and I couldn’t believe I could do it in literally minutes. Thankyou.

Solid vid brother! You kept it simple and that's one of the basic rules of survival. Excellent job. Keep 'em coming!

The best tutorial that I've seen so far

Thank you so much! You explained this so well. Adding water is important to make the bark workable.

When I searched this subject, this video here is exactly what did and should be the first! Excellent video!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you!

Thanks for the instructions. Can't wait to try this.

This is the best cordage making video I've found so far. Great job!

totally agree! thin enough to make a fishing net, and hammock, as well as sash for other jobs and necessities

Very nice, I practiced with woollen yarn and got a pretty strong cordage out of that too! Im impressed! Thanks for easy tutorial :)

Awesome job!! Simple. Straight forward! A+

thank you so much. finally a video that doesn't have the persons hands in the way. NOW I know how it's done. Again thank you.

Thank you man. Great video. And yes. I check many other videos and they always left out the important information of making attachments to the cordage.

Fascinating! Very clear instructions.

2:21 dude right when I heard that fly one landed on my neck...dafuq

Me and my two brothers are making a base in the middle of the woods and we really wanted to make everything from the resources we had on hand and this is a big help to making our base

Outstanding job! Thanks so much!

best explained vid ive seen, now i finally understand. in 10 minutes i took a 2m weak piece of jute twine and turned it into a 1m really really strong piece of rope i cant break! which is great, because we cant get bank line in the uk, and jute twine is only about 2.50 for 100m!

you gotta get the fibers by cutting out the bark and then dry it out or find dead leaves to make the rope,as the starch would be gone

Great info. just shared this video to my FB page "Campers United". Learn, Share, Teach!!

First splice I have seen that makes any sense. The object is to make longer cordage when splicing and the other vids just make the rope twice as large and very little longer. I use the braiding method when I do it but same splice. Good video guy.

Thank you for these videos, I really do appreciate them. I feel that many people overlook and belittle simple tips and skills such as this. I love your videos brother, very well done and extremely descriptive. Keep it up.

Well, that is a good skill to learn. It takes only a short while to get into a rhythm. You need more stuff than you think to make a decent length of cord.

Very informative.

Then take 2 pieces of cordage and make thicker cordage :D

Thanks for the help this was helpful

Awesome video. I see lots of videos and pictures and videos of guys and gals with really good looking rope-like cordage they've made, but no instructions on how exactly to do it. This one made it very clear. Thanks, I dropped a subscribe for more great knowledge. I wish I had all these varieties of tree/plants in my part of the world, but I am learning which ones I have which can be used for this type of crafting.

I find something very satisfying about long thin natural cordage

Very helpful!

thanks for that , much appreciated

Excellent !

That was awesome, going to try this. Thanks Buddy :D

Awesome! I saw this on something like ehow or ewiki or something but couldn't get a good visual on the twist back towards you. I got a bunch of 550 cord that I'll practice on. Or maybe just normal twin or something just to practice. Here in Florida we have a lot of palm trees that peel off in strips and I can see that being good for this. Strong stuff by itself. I can't imagine how strong it'll be twisted in cordage. Thanks for the video! Sometimes you just need to see it done to get it.

Great tutorial. I have been trying to find more on rope making because I have gotten into it myself with left over baler twine, their is not a lot on the internet other than decorative paracord designs. This is the first I have found that shows how to splice in material. One idea I just thought of from watching the rope making machines. If you hold the rope in your mouth you have two hands to twist both strands with simultaneously. I tried this out on some baler twine and made a foot of cordage in like 10 seconds. Note: you have to let the rope spin, but maintain a puling force and keep the strands apart so they only make a rope when enough twisting force is present to create a smooth product. Not sure how splicing will work with this method.

Good job. Thanks.

Now we need a video on how to prepare cordage materials.

i understand the importance of why one side should be shorter then the other now best analogy off top of my head is its like the difference between 2 people holding hands vs 2 people holding onto each others arms if someone was dangling off the edge of a cliff

Poplar bark is my favorite stuff to use

How do you finish off the cord to keep it from unraveling?

awesome video, some very valuable knowledge there. Any chance you could make a video on selecting cordage making materials, because you showed the strands but not how you got them. thanks from Australia.

@BlackScoutSurvival

Sure

Wonder if you could use this to make a bow or crossbow string?

What do you do at the end of the cordage? Do you tie it or leave it?

can you take two pieces of cordage that you made and combine them to make thicker cordage following the same patern? or will it spoil the rope because of the twisting?

You should do a review on your suunto

Nice job.

BlackScoutSurvival Once you have made the desired length of cordage from natural materials, how long does it last? And, how do you store extra cordage to increase its "shelf life?" Thanks!

hey man good video i made cordage form plastic bags

How do you finish the cordage? Do you just tie a half hitch?

Can you use the cordage you just made to make even thicker cordage by repeating the same process effectively making rope or is there a better way?

@ninjafaceify

5 жыл бұрын

You definitely could do that. That's how rope is made my man. Sorry it's a few years late though

So is it one twist then bring it down? Or two or more twists then down?

I assume this is self explanatory but if you want it thinner (for fishing line or something like that) do you just use thinner strands of whatever material you're using?

Can we also make bow spring from netles?

What do you do at the end of the made cordage?

Good video! Once you compete a piece, how can you make it stronger? Braid? Twist?

@BlackScoutSurvival

10 жыл бұрын

No. Just up your bark thickness when starting.

Can you please explain how to tie of the loose ends so it doesn't unrest itself? Thank you. ☺

what method to use to finish it? Tie the end? sap stick?

I honestly prefer natural cordage. It feels amazing to know that I made that string.

that's so cool but I don't know how to get the bark, is it just small strips of wood u have cut of tree?

could you do this with birch bark?

So I made a pretty long price of rope made up of several separate pieces put together and it held decent tension but when I pulled more pressure it pulled apart at the areas that were pieced together... is there anyway to avoid this?

this is just like making a micro Senegalese twist lol I'm set for the wild then
