Here is the two strand twist method for making cordage. Learn it now so if you ever have to make your own you will know this part. I'm using jute twine for now, once it cools down some I will take you step by step into gathering, drying, soaking, then separating the fibers from the plant. Then finish it by making cordage, hope you try it.......ot

one of my fave materials to make light cordage from is nettles, they are easy to prepare (no soaking) easy to make and pretty darn strong too

I am wondering about trying this with some of the baling twine that I have rolled up from taking off the big round bales. Its a plastic twine and VERY long strands (50+' each)...maybe doing this would make it a bit stronger, and would work for in the garden, fruit trees and berry canes being tied up and so on. Maybe even have it on hand for a camping cloths line or making a creek net!! Thanks for the vid!!

I took some twine I found and gave it a shot it was very easy to do and it came out pretty good. we are using it to keep a gate closed or open depending on what we are doing. my coworkers say thank you for showing us how to do it.
