Simple braid method but that is all you need unless it is to hold your body weight. The thing to consider when making rope is that the longer it is the easier it is to break due to the stress. Use good materials for climbing rope. Thank you for posting the video and there are plants you can use in all parts of the country.
Something that it seems like you might have left out (and I may be wrong, as I've not worked with 3 strand cording) but wouldn't you have to twist in the opposite direction to keep your new rope bound to itself when you combine 3 smaller ropes? I know with 2 strand cording, it's the tension created by the fiber's desire to backspin that holds it together, and when joining two smaller cords into a larger, you have to reverse the direction of your twisting or it unravels your previously made cord.

The quickest way to answer this question is for you to take three (thin) strips of rope and perform the technique shown. You'll find all the strands grip to each other effectively.
The technique is an ancient one used since the dawn of rope's first use. It's quite remarkable.
