  • i saw someone break it up with a rock just go from the base to the tip its alot faster but i havent tryed it my self so i dont know

  • Thanks Paul. great Vid as usual.

  • how to make longer cordage?

  • Will the cordage stay plyable for weeks months or years?

  • Some damn good videos you want some more ti[ps check mine out I know zombies

  • What other kinds of plants can we use for cordage? I live in Tennessee. We have lots of different plants here, but I'm not really up on what each plant looks like, nor how to tell what they are. I like the way you simplify the technique of wrapping, making cordage without tools! This is one thing I have hunted! Most vids, you have to have a knife to do everything! What if you DON'T have ANY tools available to you! How do you make survival tools? You have to have cordage to hold stuff together.

  • It is so awesome to see someone else using this method. I teach wilderness survival to youth and one day I sat by the fire with a pile of grass to figure out how to make it into rope using these rope-making methods. After perfecting, I now teach to my students this life saving knowledge.

    It's crazy how closely related our methods are. Do you teach wilderness survival as well? You are a fantastic instructor and I'd recommend doing so if you don't already.

  • Very good instruction. Thanks! I am amazed at the strength of DogBane fibers.

  • thanks for explaining how to splice. How do you tie them off at the ends though ?
