BCUSA Bush Class - 2 strand twist / whipping

Sometimes we need a rope that is a little stronger that a single strand piece of cordage. We may need a piece of thicker cordage for a ridge like for a shelter or to hang food to keep the critters out of it. This lesson will cover making that rope your self with the 2 strand twist. This will also help to lay the ground work for making natural cordage.

Whipping rope or tool handles is a great skill to own. Once you learn how to do it you will be surprised at how many uses you will find for it.

Well done BEAST! I especially like the magnifier . . . a BEAST signature technique for sure ;-)

I use that whipping technique quite a bit . . . even in HAM radio for antennas and securing Anderson Power Pole wires.

Definitely one of those must know skills!

Nice job Beast. Hard to see through the video but the whipping end demo was excellent.

i use cedar or straw grasses which is good enough for shelter building. i have some weird plant in my garden that works great with this for bow drill bow strings and shoe strings.

Magnifying glass at 3:40 for the win! I hadn't seen that trick before, thanks for sharing.
