For anyone wondering how to finish the cordage so it won't unwind, just tie a simple knot at the end once you're finished
Thank you
Thank you
Amazing, finally!! a video showing the technique, and how to add more to it. Thank you. Thank-you so much for this. You have taught me a skill I can now hold onto for life! :) I practiced it and it worked! I can now build hammocks, bind shelters, make hats, weave bags and baskets, make snares and traps and even clothing!
I really like how you've shown how to extend the length of your cordage. That part of the technique is often omitted from informational videos like this so I really appreciate you showing it quite clearly. Great Video
I'm new to your channel so I'm going back and checking out a lot of your older videos. I gotta say that is the best cordage video I've seen. Great camera work and very easy to follow.
Thanks!
I have seen this technique probably 10 times up to now but I had never got it right in my mind! It' s the first time that I really feel I understood it properly! Thank you so much!!!
That was the simplest and BEST explanation I have ever seen about how to do this. Thanks!!! I can't wait to try it.
Watched the video once , got me some cordage material , and weaved me a nice strong foot of cordage (not to mention I am a beginner) excellent explaining also very straight forward ...thanks for this great instructional video . thumbs up from me 👍
Solid vid brother! You kept it simple and that's one of the basic rules of survival. Excellent job. Keep 'em coming!
Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen teaching this, great work! 🤟
I've seen several videos on cordage. I finally feel like i understand how to do it now. Thanks!
This is great! finally someone shows how to do addition to the length of the cordage! cheers!
Dude your tutorial is soooooo much clearer than others on this topic. What if it's in winter and no resilient barks?
ProCelestialEmpire grass works just as well some of the tougher grasses like lomandra work even better
K, so you can use bark pieces like him and melt snow on your hand and then moisten it with the melted snow. Rub it until it's like he says in the video.
Love your videos and gave it a thumbs up, but you didn't explain how to go about getting the fibers from bark. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Or how to tie it off

This is the best cordage making video I've found so far. Great job!
totally agree! thin enough to make a fishing net, and hammock, as well as sash for other jobs and necessities
Absolutely brilliant just needed to learn for some crafts I’m doing, this was quick and easy and I couldn’t believe I could do it in literally minutes. Thankyou.
Really nice. Something you don't get to se very often, and well-taught!
Debatable
I have been confused over this for a long time, but you make it very clear.
Thank you so much! You explained this so well. Adding water is important to make the bark workable.
When I searched this subject, this video here is exactly what did and should be the first! Excellent video!
Thank you man. Great video. And yes. I check many other videos and they always left out the important information of making attachments to the cordage.
Awesome job!! Simple. Straight forward! A+
Thank you for the video.
It's greatly appreciated. I especially like the way you do splices - the best method I've seen.
Best wishes to you and yours.
Me and my two brothers are making a base in the middle of the woods and we really wanted to make everything from the resources we had on hand and this is a big help to making our base
Very nice, I practiced with woollen yarn and got a pretty strong cordage out of that too! Im impressed! Thanks for easy tutorial :)
Thanks for the instructions. Can't wait to try this.
The best tutorial that I've seen so far
Fascinating! Very clear instructions.
Thank you for these videos, I really do appreciate them. I feel that many people overlook and belittle simple tips and skills such as this. I love your videos brother, very well done and extremely descriptive. Keep it up.
Thanks. We appreciate your support and glad your enjoying them!
+BlackScoutSurvival how do you separate the fibers of the inner bark to make cordage?
تنشهشرسخيرسرش
you gotta get the fibers by cutting out the bark and then dry it out or find dead leaves to make the rope,as the starch would be gone
I use my last 30 secs on my phone to right this commrnted
artur play,s game nation dtd write*
:D I was wondering what the second cord is made of.
Same here I'm at 5 percentage! But I needed input! Number 5 is aliveee
Rip
I use my last 30 seconds to rewrite this comment
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Awesome video. I see lots of videos and pictures and videos of guys and gals with really good looking rope-like cordage they've made, but no instructions on how exactly to do it. This one made it very clear. Thanks, I dropped a subscribe for more great knowledge. I wish I had all these varieties of tree/plants in my part of the world, but I am learning which ones I have which can be used for this type of crafting.
thank you so much. finally a video that doesn't have the persons hands in the way. NOW I know how it's done. Again thank you.
Great pleasure for me to be learning something from a Marine, thank you and Merry Christmas.
Thank you. Hope you have a Merry Christmas
very nice video. well done and clear to see & understand!!! thank you!!!
best explained vid ive seen, now i finally understand. in 10 minutes i took a 2m weak piece of jute twine and turned it into a 1m really really strong piece of rope i cant break! which is great, because we cant get bank line in the uk, and jute twine is only about 2.50 for 100m!
Great info. just shared this video to my FB page "Campers United". Learn, Share, Teach!!
Outstanding job! Thanks so much!
Very informative video and a great technique! Learned a lot on this one! Thanks, Marc
Thanks, Marc!
Great job man !
thank you so much for this video I love it! I really like survival tips!
Good vid. Thanks for your continuing educating tutorials!
No problem, thank you
Great demonstration!
Thanks for the demo !
Awesome video it really works!
well I must say I looked everywhere for video on this except the people didn't explain it well or show good pic u did that
Thank you vey much much appreciated great job
Thanks very much; that was really helpful and well demonstrated.
Thank you
Thanks 🙏 man best black scout
First splice I have seen that makes any sense. The object is to make longer cordage when splicing and the other vids just make the rope twice as large and very little longer. I use the braiding method when I do it but same splice.
Good video guy.
Thanks for being so clear!
Invaluable skill.
simple to follow thanks 👍
Most very useful.....thank you
Very informative.
Thanks for the help this was helpful
Awesome! I saw this on something like ehow or ewiki or something but couldn't get a good visual on the twist back towards you. I got a bunch of 550 cord that I'll practice on. Or maybe just normal twin or something just to practice. Here in Florida we have a lot of palm trees that peel off in strips and I can see that being good for this. Strong stuff by itself. I can't imagine how strong it'll be twisted in cordage. Thanks for the video! Sometimes you just need to see it done to get it.
2:21 dude right when I heard that fly one landed on my neck...dafuq
Very helpful!
That was awesome, going to try this. Thanks Buddy :D
Thanks
Excellent !
thanks for that , much appreciated
I find something very satisfying about long thin natural cordage
Then take 2 pieces of cordage and make thicker cordage :D
I guess thats how the ropes on ships are so strong
Great tutorial. I have been trying to find more on rope making because I have gotten into it myself with left over baler twine, their is not a lot on the internet other than decorative paracord designs. This is the first I have found that shows how to splice in material.
One idea I just thought of from watching the rope making machines. If you hold the rope in your mouth you have two hands to twist both strands with simultaneously. I tried this out on some baler twine and made a foot of cordage in like 10 seconds. Note: you have to let the rope spin, but maintain a puling force and keep the strands apart so they only make a rope when enough twisting force is present to create a smooth product. Not sure how splicing will work with this method.
Good job. Thanks.
Thank you
If you had enough of it, could that cord be woven into a textile-like fabric?
Well, that is a good skill to learn. It takes only a short while to get into a rhythm. You need more stuff than you think to make a decent length of cord.
awesome video, some very valuable knowledge there. Any chance you could make a video on selecting cordage making materials, because you showed the strands but not how you got them. thanks from Australia.
Sure
How do you finish off the cord to keep it from unraveling?
Scott Hansen just a simple knot
Scott Hansen just tie a knot
Aleut hahaha
Lat lol
@SUI LAT at least he had his answer XD
Thats awesome
Thank you 😊
thank you so much
can you take two pieces of cordage that you made and combine them to make thicker cordage following the same patern? or will it spoil the rope because of the twisting?
Thanks!
Wonder if you could use this to make a bow or crossbow string?
So I made a pretty long price of rope made up of several separate pieces put together and it held decent tension but when I pulled more pressure it pulled apart at the areas that were pieced together... is there anyway to avoid this?
Nice job.
That's awesome!
Thank you
BlackScoutSurvival Once you have made the desired length of cordage from natural materials, how long does it last? And, how do you store extra cordage to increase its "shelf life?"
Thanks!
I assume this is self explanatory but if you want it thinner (for fishing line or something like that) do you just use thinner strands of whatever material you're using?
Thank you.
Poplar bark is my favorite stuff to use
Can you use the cordage you just made to make even thicker cordage by repeating the same process effectively making rope or is there a better way?
You definitely could do that. That's how rope is made my man. Sorry it's a few years late though
that's so cool but I don't know how to get the bark, is it just small strips of wood u have cut of tree?
Good video! Once you compete a piece, how can you make it stronger? Braid? Twist?
No. Just up your bark thickness when starting.
Will it strong enough to nade it be the cord of simple survival bow?
Yes actually
i understand the importance of why one side should be shorter then the other now best analogy off top of my head is its like the difference between 2 people holding hands vs 2 people holding onto each others arms if someone was dangling off the edge of a cliff
I made my cordage but is there a way to finish the end of the cord I knotted it
Bushcraft Life splicing
How do you finish the cordage? Do you just tie a half hitch?
What do you do at the end of the cordage? Do you tie it or leave it?
Now we need a video on how to prepare cordage materials.
What do you do at the end of the made cordage?
I honestly prefer natural cordage. It feels amazing to know that I made that string.
Can you please explain how to tie of the loose ends so it doesn't unrest itself? Thank you. ☺
Do you reckon Palm/Coconut tree leaves are a good material for cordage? Just in case one gets stuck in a tropical island.
4 Strength 4 Stam Leather Belt Lv. 18 Not sure about the leaves but maybe the fibrous part of the actual coconut might work as cordage.
How do you keep the very beginning from unraveling?
gig777 I think you tie a knot.
It stays knotted
So is it one twist then bring it down? Or two or more twists then down?
what method to use to finish it? Tie the end? sap stick?
Can we also make bow spring from netles?
I need to know; could you help? Why doesn't the cording get moldy when you twist with wet fibers?????
When u get to you desired length, how u secure it? Do u tie the end?
i made cordage you helped a lot
