Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" you are the best I will definitely keep this in mind next time I go to the Beach, but one question will this work with other fibers?
This is how fiber is spun! You can make a stronger rope by spinning a long yarn using a huge batch of husks. The grafts won't be quite as strong as a single long yarn. And then continue in the manner you described, plying two long yarns together.
The coconut husk also makes great kindling, the shell can be used as a bowl or cup, and the liquid inside restores electrolytes... That's why coconuts are known as the "tree of life"
Cindafella I meant that he should showcase his skills on a deserted island, like a mini vlog thing which is entirely different from what he does in his channel but why not give it a try? he could become the descendent of the grylls XD
So just survive on an island as long as possible with a bunch of batteries and a camera, but have a way to signal for help? We wouldn't want the king of random to die.
All of your videos are so awesome, whenever I get the notification (even if I'm another video) I come straight to watch it. I love you work, so keep it up.
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" you should do some videos on primitive technology that would be great.... been subscribed since the beginning love your videos
@Jeebus Dominguez: there is a youtube channel exactly called "primitve technology" where he does exactly that. he builds huts and stoneaxes and stuff from scratch. And by sccratch i literally mean from stick and stones!
After seeing this, I made a rope approx' 1.5 meter long. T'was much stronger than I anticipated! I want to thank him for for teaching us such a useful skil. Rest in peace..
took some serous work to make it, but i made one about 2 1/2 feet long and i put my 5 year old brother on it and he is about 40 pounds (i think) and it held him up and that was only with one double twist
I am in Hawaii at the moment but i live in Portland Oregon, it is a family vacation. You are the first major youtuber that has ever responded to one of my comments too :P you made my day even better
Hey Grant Thompson! I just wanted to say thank you! You entertain your Community with every single video! And what you are entertaining with isn't just to upload any videos and get more subscribers, no, it's very interesting and seems to be very much and hard work. So, greeting and much thanks from Germany, my friend! :D P.S.: Could you please make a video about making a tesla coil? Would be nice! Thanks and Bye Bye! ;)
It's called a two strand twist and I use it to style my hair. you twist the two strands clockwise then wrap them around each other counter-clockwise. They can't unwind because they have tension in two rotations. They use that method for rug tassles too.If you were to sit and brace the center with your foot or your toe, you could use both hands to twist and use your arm motion to wrap at the same time.
3 strand is the most stable. 2 strand as you made is ok but can get uneven under load and isn't as strong(strands spiral more), 4 strand requires a core to wrap around but is stronger and less springy(strands spiral less).
I agree.. I've always wanted to live primitively and use my wits to survive. It's definitely not strange.. but i find it satisfying to be out in nature, living minute to minute and thinking about my next task at hand than to sit around at a desk all day.
Thanks for the information. In India, coconuts and coconuts trees are used to make varieties of products. One of them is called coir rope. Other uses are coir board, fillers in sofa and bed.
where is this video taken place because the beach looks mighty fine and the water is very clear. I might think about going there for a vacation trip one day
That's actually really practical! Say you need to climb a tree with a bunch of branches, but you can't reach the first one, however you can get your piece of rope over it and hold onto the other side. Do that near the trunk and use the extra support to walk up it, and you're in the tree! I'm just spewing ideas ignore me ;w;
MoistGoat actually most of its actually quite simple just get a branch about 11/2 inches thick to 2 inches (to ensure structural strength) i would guess use his rope making method or if you have any thin string (i used nylon string for my bow very strong) and then the only problem i would have is making the arrorws but you could probably do that with very thin branches with a shard of rock secured on it with said rope...as for the fletching you could probably use a small leaf or leaves or use the strands from the coconut as for adequate aerodynamics if you cant find any birds to use their feathers
thanks so much! next time I ever see a coconut with its husk I will definitely spend a while making some rope! its gonna be hard to find coconuts in the husk though...
Hey, Grant! Would this work using a drop spindle, or are the fibers too coarse? A drop spindle is super easy to make with 1/4" dowel rod and a 2" wooden wheel from Hobby Lobby.
You should do the thing where you make the rope stronger after you made on long strand of the normal rope, that way the seams aren't as weak, otherwise it's pretty much pointless to reinforce the rope.
Hey man these r awesone vids, I'm memorizing all the beach survival ones, but can we see a few more explosions? Stuff like forges, water to explosive gas machines and arc reactors?
I'm lost on a island and this video just saved my life.

He just got the fine fibers separated and glued them on though. Maybe someday we'll see him do the whole process and then he'll have dreads.

The trees are called palm trees it's fruit is a coconut
Wow u can use coconuts as cups and bowls🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You should do a series where you survive on a deserted island XD That'd be amazing as heck

Survivor man does it much better, no camera crew or anything.
sounds like something that deserves to be on youtube red.
I really like his survival hacks a lot more than the other channels, sadly, he won't be able to make them anymore, RIP King
This would actually be really helpful thanks
i found this fascinating, thanks
You're welcome!
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" could you reply to my comments please
At the rate and direction the world is going. Finding myself on a deserted island may be entirely my choice. Thanks for tips Grant!

King of random I dare you to make a video of you stranded on a island for 1 day
i agree
for one day? that would just be relaxing on a beach all day lol, he wouldn't even have to get food or water if it's just a day
lol true
DreTube 24 hours
A WEEK! no too long, hmmmm.... A WEEKEND! (2-3 days or so)
That is some seriously awesome survival stuff. Very cool!
That is really cool. How much coconut husk did you use to make that length of rope? Was that all from only one nut or did you use multiple husks.
+739redrose Good question. It was from 3 husks. But I didn't use all the fibers in all the husks either. Just the stuff that was easier to get out.
Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" you should do some videos on primitive technology that would be great.... been subscribed since the beginning love your videos

No lie, Grant Thompson is probably the coolest father out there
So this is how Captain Jack Sparrow got off the island with a sea turtle.
Thought it was his hair from his back.
3 strand is the most stable. 2 strand as you made is ok but can get uneven under load and isn't as strong(strands spiral more), 4 strand requires a core to wrap around but is stronger and less springy(strands spiral less).
Really helps you imagine how strong and durable synthetic machine-woven ropes can be.
not sure if coconut fiber or donald trump hair
:DDD
HOW DARE YOU COMPARING COCONUT FIBER WITH DONALD TRUMP'S HAIR
THAT'S AN INSULT TO COCONUTS
Either way the strength of that rope is presidential!
Nerdy_Jr.2737 nice one 😂😂😂😂
The strength of that rope is TREMENDOUS, OK?!
Best part: being able to write off portions of your vacation as a business expense!

spose you have a keen eye and would always be thinking " how can I use that"

well not every one learn that
succ
I've lived on hawaii my whole life and this guy goes there for a vacation once and already has more survival skills than i do
you could use those ropes to bind logs together and make a raft to escape the island unless Gilligan messes it up
can you use those fibers for starting fire ?
Definitely: ruclips.net/video/T9bXoOa1qTg/видео.htmlm31s
That was fast...have nice day and cool videos by the way :)
Adeeb Naveen j
Ya
It's easy get a water bottle reflect the sun to the fiber and that's it
Now you should teach us how to make a bow without tools, and utilize the rope made from coconut. And then teach us how to make arrows.
MoistGoat go to primitive survivor
MoistGoat actually most of its actually quite simple just get a branch about 11/2 inches thick to 2 inches (to ensure structural strength) i would guess use his rope making method or if you have any thin string (i used nylon string for my bow very strong) and then the only problem i would have is making the arrorws but you could probably do that with very thin branches with a shard of rock secured on it with said rope...as for the fletching you could probably use a small leaf or leaves or use the strands from the coconut as for adequate aerodynamics if you cant find any birds to use their feathers
and then how to gut a dee- t violent? just me? ok
Legitimate question: about how many coconuts worth of fiber did you need for the final product of 1-1.5 ft of rope?
Seth Yuikora 69
72,3 at least :D
Seth Yuikora Try it yourself
one maybe two
You expect me to say no? Haha
Interesting method of obtaining firewood.
