Primitive Yucca Bullwhip - Does it compare to Indiana Jones' whip? (Season 2, episode 3)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Can this primitively-made yucca leaf bullwhip compare to the whip used by Indiana Jones? Ever since I watched the very first Indiana Jones movie I have always wondered if it is actually possible to use a whip to do what he does in the movie. In this video I make my own primitive version of Indie's whip with yucca leaves to test out the strength of this simple tool.

I was just watching a video about processing natural fibers in a primitive way. And the archeologist was creating a reproduction of a primitive comb to use to separate and align the fibers. It was made by bundling a handful of long thorns (3 or 4 dozen), the longer the better, by binding them together with cordage. It worked well to separate out individual fibers, kinda like combing hair. In fact it would probably ALSO work well for combing your long hair while in your primitive settings. Something you might want to look unto.

Personally, I would have saved the saponin extracted from the yucca leaves in a container with water. That way you have soapy water ready whenever you need it. That is, assuming it can be stored and doesn't degrade or evaporate too quickly.

Very nice primitive style👌
For thicker ropes, my experience has shown that a double woven double strand rope is better than a single woven double strand rope, especially for longevity within knots. As the rope is bent within a knot, the fibers are straight in the direction of the force and so the rope effectively just has the strength of individual fibers, minus the benefits of weaving.
@ChadZuberAdventures

There are several other weaves that would be stronger but they also take a lot longer to weave. Since I wasn't using fully processed fibers I just wanted to test out a quickly twisted style and I was pleasantly surprised.

If you want to crack the whip, try mastering the straight vertical lash first. Also, keep the thinner half completely straight before driving it. The tip should be pointing in the opposite direction of the top of the handle.

Yeah, there are ways to make a better whip. This was to test out the durability of a quick rope. It is stronger than I expected. It's good to know that you can cut 10 leaves and make a very strong 10-foot rope with minimal processing. A stronger rope can be made but would take longer. For survival it's good to know how to make things fast.

The megalith, sheered on four sides and tall, jutting out from leveled ground. Why it was there? Doesn't matter. If you see what he then did, it would be a curiosity. You cannot know what the megalith was from examining the many physical recreations of it strewn across the world through the millenniums.
