@gaming with hard core senpai gamer Yeah, you don't but it will save quite a bit of time. So Yeah right back at ya there "Pathfinder" ... If you don't get the reference to Cooper, you don't know as much as you think you do.
Historically speaking, ninja tools and weapons were originally made by modifying common farm implements (like rope spinners). So, using spinners as tonfa is a very ninja thing to do.
@@jeanblack3070 was wheat a big thing in japan and asian lol? i thought it was mostly rice and wheat was a european thing. wasnt wheat introduced very late into asia?
Dan, this is one Hell of a trick, I was taught 50+ yrs ago to make rope by hand, with no tools an have been doing it that way, but now I've got 3 legs of mule line about 150' ft each an was dreading making this rope, but not now, you just made my life easy.
Awesome explanation! I'm actually excited to try this. I've always wanted to try because I make knives and wrap handles with paracord. For some knives I want to have a rustic look, I think that I could use hemp string and make decent rope that would look and perform very well for this purpose! Thank you kindly!
Avocado Austin - I don't know exactly what you want me to tell you. There are different kinds of badges. There are merit badges, rank badges, and event badges. Merit badges are earned by learning a specific new skill. They're not really designed to be cool but to represent a scouts achievement. Rank badges are earned by completing all of the requirements to move on to the next rank. Those are also just designed to represent accomplishment. Event badges on the other can be pretty cool. Those are supposed to be cool and in fact many scouts collect them and trade them with others. I hope that I answered your question. If not, let me know.
William McCaslin this is a great skill and technique, I meant it in the way that kids would probably enjoy doing this! Well myself too but I am a kid at heart
"Spin S; ply Z". There's a lot of tools and techniques in fiber crafting (spinning, knitting, crocheting, weaving, etc.) that are useful for outdoorsmen. For example, after making cordage, you can put it in a hank easily with a niddy-noddy.
@@American-Plague Yes. A hank is like what an extension cord or rope looks like when you buy it, as opposed to a ball. A niddy-noddy is a stick with cross bars on the ends that you can use to make a hank of a long run of yarn or cordage by hand easily. It's a way to scale up the kind of action of wrapping a cord around your hand and elbow. (You'd do better to look up a picture than for me to try to describe it in words so you could make one.)
That’s awesome. I remember when you used a nail to attach the two sticks together. This way all you need is a knife and cordage. I’ll be trying this because I want to see how much rope I can get using 525 feet of a roll of sisal twine.
BoB’s Woodland Adventures get some fiends to help, that wears out your forearm fast. I went through Dans course last year and he showed us how to do this. We stared with about 15 yards of cord, it is a lot of work but very rewarding.
Shawn Crawford Yes. It does look like a workout for your forearms. I’m thinking of making some kind of spinner system that would be self spin like some sort of counter weight wheel.
Nicely done! I will be making three of those, one each for my grandchildren the next time we are afield. I will have three little ones making some rope for Popop! (Child labor laws be damned...😂) I actually can’t wait to use that nifty tool myself. I’m never going to make rope by rolling it on my leg again!
This was a great video! I’ve only ever seen people make rope with one of those rope spinners, never a bushcraft style spinner. I’ve been looking for something like this. Thanks!
That’s an awesome simple way to make rope. Great idea and tutorial. My kids are going to love this. Thank you for sharing this and creating a great video.
We used to make rope in a similar fashion as big scouts. By adding a toggle, we'd make our short lengths as a belt. We used " Binders twine", who h is a bit heavier.
I was impressed not merely by your obvious skill but by the reality check at the end viz the absence of the survival "stuck on a cliff edge with only a ball of twine..." nonsense. Doing it because it promotes understanding and because it is fun - outstanding!
You never know when you might get stuck out there find yourself needing rope when all you have is a spool of string bingo now you can make you're own rope great video thanks a bunch 🙏❤
At home and wanted to try. Make shift one: Tree/axe= weight bar set up vertically, spinner = socket wrench, v-notch = pencil taped to socket wrench. I held the socket instead of the handle. It seems to work well. I am running into trouble finding the right amount to spin. First was over spun and knotty, the second a bit too lose. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am having a great time.
Oh Wow.. This is something that is needed for the zombie apocalypse. . Or, shtf. .. Now,, this may be too much... But , it would be interesting to find out how strong a rope would be , starting from scratch. Harvesting nettle, making twine, and making rope from that. Tie from a limb, and add weight untill it breaks.. Sounds like a project for your students. .. Thanks for sharing your videos, and keep up the good work.
If you haven't already, could you do a video about how to tell if a plant can be used for cordage? Like what traits you look for. Also have you ever used cottonwood fluff to make yarn?
I really like the design you used on your spinner. It may take a little longer to assemble than using the nail but it looks like it will stay together better.
