How to make Natural Cordage from Tree Roots | TAOutdoors
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 окт 2016
- When out in the forest or woods, it is surprising how much natural cordage is available to you. The woods I spend a lot of time in are coniferous woods full of black pine trees (Pinus Nigra, which have shallow roots that are easily accessible with a little digging. To make the roots useable as cordage you can strip the coating off them and split the root to make it more supple and pliable. You can also add water to the root to help make knots tighter and make it easier to work with. Hope you enjoy the video - Mike.

Really awesome video, every moment showing something skilled and useful, No wasted time, just down to business. I liked the silence with on screen tips , btw
I have nothing but pine on my property. And am not able to leave my property (for a while) to gather other resources. I will be doing this tomorrow as my new project for sure. I've been making and using a bowdrill set for a while now but I use paracord. I want to use natural cordage but wasn't sure how to make pine roots supple enough to manipulate. Thank you so much for this video. You've got another subscriber sir!!!
Using natural cordage while bowing parallel to the ground will result in the cord rubbing on itself and snapping eventually. If you tilt the tip of the bow toward the ground or sky (either way you're comfortable with) the cordage will spiral up and down the spindle in a serpentine motion instead of rubbing on itself.
Well done. That split stick root stripper was new to me. I usually just use two sticks I hold together.
Always check for poison ivy before pulling up roots. Its hard to use cordage if your hands are covered with blisters.
Great to know. Thanks for the post
Well done!
great video as always
Great video!
Thank's .
Great video btw!
Nice one bro. atb
Watching this because WWIII bout to start.
How do you tie it off and the end to keep it from unraveling?
I love your hatchet. I have the Husqvarna carving axe
Thank you, didn't know they did a carving axe. I can't seem to find my axe online anywhere at the moment, can I ask where you got yours?
TA Outdoors You can find mine and one similar to yours by going to Baileysonline .com and looking up "Husqvarna axe". Mine is called the carpenter axe on there.
Awesome, educational and easy to comprehend video! Thank you! What type of knife did you use? Thanks again!
I know this is an old comment, but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents. It looks like a "Boar" knife from The Bushcraft Store there in the UK if I was to guess.
Does doing this kill the tree?
Hey man, can you tie it to something and spin it with a stick instead of by hand?
Would this kind of string be good for a primitive survival bow ? Or would it be prone to snap?
Really good video. Just pure Information! Did you actualy not talk in this one on purpose?
Thi J yeh, thought I talked quite enough in the camp update videos, wanted to try one without talking, hopefully people enjoy it
I certainly enjoyed it and I hope you will keep that sort of videos coming from time to time!
👍✌🥃
Can you make bow string for hunting from this?
will this kill the tree
Some things are easier to understand when they are explained as they are viewed. The method of splitting the root and keeping both sides close to the same size is one example. Speaking instead of pointing is more engaging. .
What kind of knife is that? I want one lol
How much weight can it bear?
does it not hurt the tree when you take away the roots?
If you limit it to no more than around 4 per well grown tree it should be fine.
It's a tree
Where your jumper from it's nice and warm please
As in the grey fleece? It's a Low Alpine one and I actually got it in a charity shop!
How much does this hurt the tree?
none at all if u only take 1 or 2 ,but if anymore is takin it can harm the tree
Intro??
Awesome channel!!! I've been watching your fishing channel for quite a while. I'm glad I found this one. I am also a bushcrafter. I've just started a channel. You should check it out if you get a chance. I would appreciate your feed back
subscribed as well
DazDeluxe thank you!! I really appreciate it
thanks for the knowledge but i would prefer if you talked
Good to know! If you are not going to speak at all during the video at least put some music in! Where was Jack's??? He's a great little dog!
It is a cord, according to the dictionary. Why does everyone call it cordage? do they also call it ropage?
I believe it's an infinite modification, one cord is a cord, cords is plural, cordage refers to all possible cords?
You looked up cord in the dictionary and landed on one meaning. If you had looked up cordage you would have discovered it shares the same definition. It's not unusual to have two words sharing the same meaning even if it's only contextual. You asked why everyone calls it cordage. The reason is because the product everyone refers to as cordage is cordage. The definition of cordage is largely agreed upon by the speakers who want to refer to strands of fiber twisted together and cordage is the prevalent term in use. To call the finished product "qwerty" is nonsensical but if the majority of speakers used qwerty to refer to a cord made by twisting plant fibers then qwerty gains a meaning it didn't have before and the use of qwerty becomes legitimate. No one says ropage because it is not a word.
Corddage- ropes and cords collectively. From the Old French word cordage, from the Old French corde which is a string or small rope composed of several strands twisted or woven together: a bowstring, hangman's rope. This from the Latin word for strings of a musical instrument, "chorda" which comes from the greek "khorda" which means cord.
@@bozzskaggs112 Thanks for your discussion on etymology. Did you think I didn't look it up? Definition of cordage
1: ropes or cords
especially : the ropes in the rigging of a ship which implies MULTIPLES and DIFFERENT kinds. Cordage is a plurality. There is no need to make it more complicated. The simplest word is the best. One cord, and an inventory of cordage. If you like to speak in multiples and justify it as common usage, knock yourself out. My mommy doesn't hang the wash on a clotheslineage, she hangs it on a clothesline. Note it is clothes that is the plural, and the line is singular. Do you have a spool of stringage? Or just s spool of string?
@@earthman4222 Well, based on the question as you stated with no mention of the definition of cordage I made an assumption. NOTE: I should add a statement to my RUclips signature as a warning that "the poster of this comment is OCD over and is a carrier of correct grammatical, proper punctuational and clear and impossibly clear unambiguous communication. He is not a sufferer but a carrier. All others suffer." (And that statement probably broke grammar rules and I'm not even sure what it means). OCD and too much 'rona enforced downtime is to blame for responding ad nauseam.
@@bozzskaggs112 non sequitur. I am gonna tie some stringage to my finger to remind me of what you said.
