This is one of the most important primitive survival technologies even more important than a bow drill. After all you can't make a bow drill for fire without cordage

@@MikeyCelestine pal, all you need for a fire is sticks/logs of various sizes obviously, gather some tinder such as horses hoof fungus, coal fungus, birch bark curls or dust(firemakers choice though dust is better) etc. Gather some dry grass, get some flint, quartz, chert, obsidian, agate or Jasper and a rock such as iron pyrite or marcasite. Get a nice ember nest going out of the dry grass, Make a delve in it for the tinder, grab your iron pyrite or marcasite and flint(or variation there upon) and hit the flint with the iron impregnated rock a few times over the nest shaving off flint which then oxidizes mid-air becoming a spark. The tinder will catch, you blow on it softly but not to softly until the nest starts to smoke. Once you see flame, shot it in your pile of kindling and build up the fire as per usual. That is fire made exactly how we did it when we were running around naked hurling spears at deer.

I have a friend who I think is into cottagecore (She mentions it from time to time) and I crochet. So I'm planning to crochet her a sun hat out of grass to help things out. This video helps! Thanks sir!

The splicing technique is actually so clever, I was wondering how to extend the length for so long.

From what I see the only skill dependant aspects on making cordage is keeping both sides even and to prepare the perfect fibres

I watched two previous videos, one had just a guy rambling with his kids, and another one was a guy rambling with his friend. They barely showed what to do, and the videos were really long. This video was straight to the point AND covered adding more length. Thank you!

How can this be so simple, productive, and I have never seen this is my 75 years on the planet? ACES! my friend, Aces for you!

Your dirty hands proof that you earn clean money. Great video as well. I will check this out next time in the woods

Waving a hand from down here in Harrisburg. Excellent cordage instructional. Love ALL your videos Dan! My wife and I camp at Locust Lake from time to time. Stay in the woods!

Straight to thr point, well explained, easy to follow and remember.... if you ever doubt yourself just know that you're 100% doing your part for Humanity. So thank you

Finally a video that shows making cordage slowly and easily!! Thank you!!

Ok now my only problem is WHAT MATERIAL I USE

Might be livin in the woods soon

Somehow you make learning easy. Great tutorial! Thanks Dan

I love your videos because they are pertinent and short. 3-4 minutes is ideal for an ADD person like myself.

Theres a reason your the at the top of the search results, by far the best instruction I've seen on making cordage thanks a lot coalcracker

This is by far, the best instruction I've seen for doing this. Thank you soooo much! :)

Thanks Dan. As a instructor / teacher the cordage making with the splicing techniques was very well demonstration. I just enjoy your videos.

Recently made cordage from a purple tower plant and turned it into a little corsage using this method, for my daughter.. she loved it 🥰🥰

Very nice splice better than adding to just one side this way creates a much smoother transition I'm really enjoying these quick snippets of information works perfect for me

This was so helpful. I made a 1 foot length of plant fiber cordage capable of holding 40lbs without breaking. The technique is great for identifying what material makes for good cordage as well. Thank you for this video.

I've watched 4 vids of this technique and this has been the best explanation and demonstration. Thank you!

your videos always manage to rope me in. thanks, Prof.

Very good explanation on how to wrap it correctly. Thank you no one else has explained it in that kind of detail, which is needed in order to make it work properly.

Your tutorial was the only one that explained it clearly enough for me. Thanks.

I forgot how to do all this and in 4 minutes you just showed me how to make all the cordage I will ever need. Thank you!

Great instructions - thank you. Brisbane Australia 🦘🦘

Thank you sir. I learned what I needed to know. Cordage is so very important and your tecniques are mentally noted. Thank you again as you are greatly appreciated. 👍

Brilliant. Best demo I've seen on cordage making

This is the best and easiest splice method I’ve seen so far. Just made cord from banana skins using this method - it worked really well with the shorter pieces. Thanks!

Excellent. You’ve explained it much better than anyone else has to me. I’m set now thanks.

Excellent demonstration. By far the best video I’ve found on this subject. Thanks for sharing. Now to make a bow drill with natural cordage!

Awesome cordage Coalcracker! Love learning how to do these things. 😍

This was super helpful! I new how to do the twist, but I was really confused on how to add more material, but you cleared that right up.

I've heard of this but never understood exactly how it was done... I do now! Thx Dan!

I used a headlice comb to process the original leaf into fibres, worked a treat

Your splicing method looks stronger than other methods that I've researched. Other methods but the new piece just on one side. One guy recommended wetting the material to make it easier to work with. You do a nice job giving a good visual and being clear and going at a good pace. Basically a good teacher. Keep em coming.

Nice! I knew the 1st technique but now it's going to be double the speed with the 2nd technique! Thank you!

Short, clear, and concise. Thank you.

Thanks for showing the splicing so clearly! That's the part that's been tripping me up.

I learned this techneque from Ron Wood, RIP. Love to see it

Great demonstration of the technique, you are an excellent teacher, thank you!

Ive never thought of of setting it thats a life saver thanks man

Your awesome! I'm so happy to have learned this ,thanks to your up close ,and easy to follow instructions. THANK YOU.

You explained this so well, cheers

You're an excellent teacher!

I would probably have turned out to be a very different person if I learned how to do this as a kid, extremely useful.

THANK YOU! I wanted more hand close ups for this technique after your video with Townsends. Brilliant.

Sweet splice! Thanks for sharing.

tip: try doing it with the rope standing up (the hand that holds it at the top, and the one that wraps it at the bottom), for me it's faster and more comfortable, and in every video I've seen, people do it horizontally instead of vertically

Excellent demo. I have been teaching this for years and have found the ladies pick this up much faster than the guys do. Possibly because they are used to doing similar things with their hair, not sure, but they really do pick it up quickly!

Thanks, you are a very good teacher Dan. Take care.

Most valuable information I've received in a long time. A lot easier to do than I thought. Thought there'd be a lot more work into

Succinct and incredibly informative even with variety of technique. One of the best informative youtube videos I've ever seen! Bravo! Subscribed.

oh wow, so simple. crazy how materials can be basically transformed into something so sturdy and useful with a little cleverness. I placed my first snares today after watching many videos on it, and am still learning more. cordage can be used in the scissor snare, im hoping to try it out soon!

A very admirable job!

Man this is awesome! Could come in SUPER handy. Thanks for the lesson.

This is so cool! You're a good teacher--thanks for posting. Now I need to go camping to practice this!

Appreciate the schooling on the technique 👍🏻. Probably the best I've seen, now I can create cordage when before from other examples I was stumped bc of speed and poor camera angle. Love all your post's. Good work. Thank you.

Excellent video!! Thanks for the simple and best explanation, stay safe!

Really good description.

This is perfect - I have used this in the past many times when I have run out of rope that I brought with me when camping.

I am really loving your videos. Very logical

Best Tutorial on that topic.

Dan, thank you. In NZ we have flax which yeilds fibres up to 4' long. I cannot wait to try this!

Great demonstration

Excellent video - short and informative! Thank you.

Extremely useful.

Very nicely demonstrated . Much appreciated and all the best .

Thank you!!! Im working in my first splice now very helpful well made vid. THANK YOU!

Very simple stuff thank you

Excellent explanation.

Dan, thanks for explaining and demostrating this. I was in a class taught by a guy in my area and for some reason it was A LOT more difficult the way he was trying to explain the process. As Canterbury says K.I.S.S. is the best way!!

Best examination up close. Thanks friend

Great video, I tend to splice mine a bit different but hey, it still works. I've used this technique to show some how cordage was made and how it can be made out of materials you wouldn't expect to be useful at all. (Such as a few types of dried grass.) It's funny how we tend to take cordage and rope for granted these days.

This is the first time I saw that splice. Usually, I see people feeding it in on one side and I have struggled to do the same. The method you showed appears and should be far easier for me (^-^)

You're intimidating and helpful

Excellent demonstration Mr.Dan most awesome indeed my friend thanks for sharing your knowledge with everyone! Watching from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in Canada! Cheers, Jerbs 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼

This is (imho) an essential skill that everyone who spends time in the wilds should know. I use this technique with jute twine to make lanyards and neck cords. It’s just another way to carry my fire tinder.

I tryed this with inner bark from a popler tree it workd really well

Thanks, it looks so cool and its relaxing

Thank you very much for your videos!

This video saved my life.

Clever approach to spin and ply in one go.

Thank you for the information it was very helpful

That was cool. Looking forward to the next video.

I found your channel making this on Townsends video when you were making this exact project. Thanks for the lesson.

Amazing, thank you. I'll have my kids start practicing this

That is the best explanation thank you !

great clear instruction, thanks!
