@@Bushcraft_Bullshit the 4.0, I went ahead and bundled it with the rain shell that attaches to the hoodie so we will see how that works. Great cordage video, awesome stuff.
Congratulations on the sponsorship. I will check them out. Great inststructional! I had no clue this made good cordage. When looking up "cleavers" to see what it was I was surprised to see it is what we call hitchhikers. I had no clue it made such good cordage. I am also reading that the fruits have caffeine in them and can be used as a stimulant drink. Now I have no reason to hate the shit.
13:27 I use one of those waxed cord wicks, too. Works great for the twig stove and less fire prep. It takes me a few more tries to light it than you though. LOL Great video on how to process and produce cordage. Congrats on Baerskin wanting to get involved as well. Cheers!
Look for slow match. It's another way of processing cordage so it will light easily. Look out for rabbit holes, though! Slow match was the ignition method for matchlocks.
Very good on making laid rope, but what about plaited? Twisting breaks some of the fibers, plaiting doesn't, so you can use weaker fibers to make rope that's as strong as laid rope. Sennit weave is a good search term, it can be round or flat. People braiding their hair are generally using a three strand sennit weave. What about a seven strand round sennit for cordage? BTW, I haven't seen any yters doing plaited rope for survival. Your cleavers would mate to a drop spindle nicely too.
@@mervmartin2112 i braid some times as well, but mostly when i find sturdy bark. I havent tried sennit, i'll have to check it out. Any particular material you use for weawing?
@@Bushcraft_Bullshit Spinning, like on a drop spindle, needs a 2.5 inch (63.5 mm) "staple" (length of fiber). Can be spun by wrapping strands around a stick and twisting (like a propeller). Feed in more as needed. This creates "yarns", which you can plait, weave, or twist into rope. My favorite fiber is the inner bark of Cottonwoods, but anything that gives you a 2.5 inch staple will work If you're not allergic, poison oak bark is a great resource. No one else will steal your cordage ... twice :-D
I like seeing failure, it mean your learning , I enjoy the process more then the result . I like the leg technique better I found the twisting to be tighter, and I found the rubbing the cordage on a tree or a stump kinda fuse the cordage together and seem to even the "twisted tension " ... but I like it i enjoy seeing the process from this angle. cheerz!

@@WayneTheSeine they are very useful, the fruit also has decent protein in them, so they can be eaten and baked into bread

@@AclockworkPurple Thanks, yeah those little wicks are very useful 😁 i use the little pipe they come in, to blow on my fire as well😁
Might I suggest a Sam Adams Oktoberfest ale
@@thetopnacci sounds great🙂😁

@@mervmartin2112 sounds awesome! Is that how you make yours? Would love to see that contraption of you have video of it?
I just had to pause and check if we have Cleavers in the UK as I’ve never heard of them. We do. Carry on Sir
@@beani1608 awesome, they are very useful in the state they are in at the moment 🤝

I'm about to go hack down the neighbor's unwanted nettles to make cordage. It's gotta be 10ft tall
