  • LOL! Nice orange with your cammo. ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

  • That hat switches from camo to orange.

    It was hunting season in an area where hunters are definitely in there with guns.

    Can't take chance with that, and the camo is there if I need it.

  • would the cord be strong enough to make a bow drill out of? I'd like to see you film this again in spring under better conditions

  • I'm definitely gonna do it again in the spring.

    And I'll use it for a bow drill.

  • in my opinion, quite possibly your most informative vid. you have a tendency to be unorganized. I understand that youtube is filled with amateur video but thats what editing is for. Its your vids, but try to get better angles or even go through the motions of what your going to do before you film. I personally have no videos(busted up my cam last year) but I took Visual Production classes. Not criticizing, just lend some advice. Nice vid though

see all

    It seem it would be better to work with

    If the cattail was live

    The bulb( i.e the root) like an onion can be eaten

    The top or the fluff can be used as fire starter or as insulation If needed

    The leaves can also be woven in to baskets

    A lot of uses for cattail

    And most work better with live plants

  • @themaddigger

    Go to the NH woods wearing white in the fall :)

  • nice video. thanks for the info. will give it a try.

  • MAN LOOK AROUND there are so many trees to make a rope

  • dont throw the pith away...eat it.

  • Cattail is not very solid actually i already tried it... i was in the summer though.

  • how long is that blade. on your ka bar

  • Looks cold. I have some cattails in my backyard ill have to try this.
