This is a GREAT tutorial, it shows everything VERY clearly! 😊

I personally love these kind of videos. I think we humans should chase a more simple life, re-learn these basic skills and in general live in harmony with the nature. Present societies full on consumerism, pointless comfort and overexposure to evil media is a recipie for self destruction. Loving your vids and hope to see many, many more. 😘

This is a vey important video. This is a, seemingly, simple way to make cordage of any desired thickness, within reason. This is going in my Survival Video library for repeated access. Great job Chad, bring us all more like this. OH, i discovered, had an epiphany, for making bricks, not quite primitively, Use several large 1 loaf bread pans as forms. They can be placed close to a fire to speed drying. The pans are slightly tapered, top to bottom, allowing a sort of interlocking during the build process. Well, I think it all works that way, it at least looks like it works that way. ;-)

я по доброму завидую этому человеку... как мало надо для счастья !!

Yes, yes, yes. Finally, superthanks. Greetings from Slovakia. 😀🖖👍

❤❤❤❤ WHOLE LOT OF LOVE

This is a pretty important but underrated skill. Cordage is necessary, or at least very helpful, for a long list of things.

Gracias Chad!! Siempre aprendiendo contigo, necesitamos más personas como tú en el mundo 💜

مرحبا تشاد لقد تذكرت شيئا كان يوجد في بيت اهلي القديم مغزل لصنع خيوط الصوف مغزل خشبي مؤلف من عجلة خشبية ومقبض ومسمار للف خيوط الصوف لكن المغزل كان عندنا اما جدتي لم اشاهدها توفت وان بيبطن امي جدتي كانت تنسج سجاد رائع وجميل السجادة عندنا والمغزل والمنجل لحصد القمح❤

Спасибо мистеру Chad Zuber за видео! Вдруг случится апокалипсис то сможем из травы делать одежду и плести верёвки благодаря мистеру Chad Zuber😁👍

rolling the fiber over your thigh is such a good idea that i never thought about

Just incredible! I really enjoyed watching you work. Great skills man

Great tutorial of an important skill. Archeologists have found cordage in caves that still contain a few hairs twisted into the cordage. Pretty good evidence that the old ones used this technique.

Thank You for showing us this simple and fast method! When I saw you and others excessively using cords then cutting them in short lengths without hesitation, I always thought to myself: "Ah, a little bit of cheating with the cordage, eh? :D " But I let it slip because the things you made from them are really useful and beautiful! But seeing you can make cordage so fast, now I believe you really made the nets from scratch and now I appreciate it even more! Thank you again!

I honestly respect the use of armpit sweat when moisture is necessary.

You are great at making anything

Excellent tutorial, well-filmed and explained! The speed technique is one I will now be trying. While the twist and turn slower method is very relaxing for me, usually as I am walking outside, it is slow. This new technique gives me a “need it now” option. Thanks!

Thank you Chad, there's quite a lot of fiber in flax which grows in abundance here. Have a great day.

Incredible, thank you for sharing.

Great new format, Chad! Well done

This always impressed me.

YT decided to show this to me. and liked it very wel. Reminds me of How i was taught when i was younger (like 10 years ago) This is well put together

Great video Chad. Can't wait to try out your recommendations

Nice, simple and clear tutorial with great views and nature sound!

Saudades, voltei também.

One cool thing you can do is make a thick cord out of the cambium of slippery elm. if you get a sore throat, you can chew on the cord. As far as I know I came up with this method of using slippery elm, but the cambium has been used as a tea to soothe sore throats for generations. The reason it works is because the cambium is "mucilaginous" (slimy when wet), and the juices relax your throat and make you feel less irritated, helping to decrease swelling. A decent rule of thumb with medicinal plants is if someone can't explain why it works, it is probably placebo (practically half the edible plants in the world people claim cure headaches and stomachaches).

Awesome. Thank you!

I've been doing it the slow way for so long now. Thanks for the knowledge

Excellent. Due to the current circumstances I am trying to encourage preppers to learn how to make their own threads, cordage and ropes from natural materials as a fall back. This is a very practical guide and incorporates the thigh techniques learned many years ago. Have posted a link to elsewhere (read preppers and freedom) so others can find the info easily. Love the practical items you show as well. Who knows maybe there will be tribes of skilled people out there in the wilderness before too long.

Very useful. Thanks

Mirando tus vídeos estoy aprendiendo Gracias 🤗

Great technique, beautiful cordage. thanks, man.

Small videI believe that certain places with certain recording angles would become incredible scenarios for short videos teaching tricks like this.

Love learning new techniques. Great Video!

Nice tutorial. I really like the way you tell about everything happening on the screen. I very like that format of videos

Great video! Thank you for the effort you put into it and for sharing freely with us! 🙏🏻🤙🏻

Very cool and helpful video! Make more videos like this!

This is freaking awesome…thank you for sharing!

most authentic KZfaq channel ive seen

Glad to hear that my dogbane cordage rate of 6 m/hr is the same as yours. I’ve made hundreds of meters for a Great Basin style rabbit net. Leg roll is definitely faster than finger spin, but these two methods have their uses: Leg roll for fast production of ordinary cordage, but finger spin for more demanding cordage like bow strings and fishing line. Good video.

Very cool!

thanks for the detailed explanation of the whole process. this is a very helpful video

Hey Chad, i just want to share this quick comment. I love your content and your style. Ive watched you since your snake island series. Thank you so much for making this amazing content and giving us something quality to watch.😍

Ótimo vídeo

That is awesome, brother Chad.

Well played, sir. I like it!

Skil yang sangat luar biasa segala cara bisa di lakukan👍👍👍

Ciekawa lekcja. Pozdrawiam👋

Great step by step instruction with good photos of the process.. New subscriber.

Love this vid Tarzan I learn so much from this keep up the amazing work :)

thank's for your amazing tricks...🧐👍

Great video

I did it! Thanks bro.

how you splice in new fibres is different from what I was taught and your method seems stronger

videos that have to be saved for the 'day after' when internet and electricity are gone

Hi chad! Maybe do a strength test as earlier suggested of the baseline being the same thickness or gauge rope from the different flora or trees and then compare pulling something. Maybe using wet ropes as the test and like dragging a boulder or something to see when it breaks for example. Have a great day. Love from Australia! Regards Andrew.

Blessed Love ❤️‍🔥

Neat, Godspeed!

More useful content. Love this channel. ❤

Hiya i ❤ your vids

oh cool!

i made 12” in 20min - but im looking forward to trying your suggestions’ exceptional work and i appreciate you sharing

Making cordage is probably a good way to overcome some of the boredom if it's too dark to do any foraging and you're stuck at camp.

Nice too meet you again😊

Cordage is king, nettles, hemp, and willow is what I got in my area, it's good stuff ♡♡♡

ive said it before, but your videos are SO MUCH more engaging with narration: i can focus more on what youre doing instead of reading the explanations

You have taught us so much about useful plants and materials that nature provides. I wish yucca grew around here vin WV.

That was really helpful. I’ve seen this done but I’ve never made it myself. Could you do a video showing how you get the yucca or other material ready to work with? Do woody plants work better? Thanks so much🤗❤️🐝

Interesting

Wow👍👍👍👍

Nature provides us with everything we need. Even the computer you use today is delivered from resources crafted out of our lovely Earth and that to me is something more than magic.

Very cool. The closest I've come to doing something like this is twining two gut strings to make a bass string for my medieval lyre. Bravo and subscribed. Thanks from an instrument maker in Vienna, Scott

Trabaja la cuerda muy rapido 😮 genial! Siempre me preguntaba "¿como hace tanta cuerda?" Me dan ganas de hacer el intento

Saludos amigo Chad Haces ver fácil hacer cuerdas me gusta como formó la cesto para jalar cosas El paisaje muy lindo 😊 Pura vida cuídate

Nice

Thank you, mister Chad. I will definetly try to make as much cordage as i can. It might be a little hard, since i live in different climate zone, however i will try with some things. Probably i will try with lilac bark. Fresh bark is really moist, so it would be easier. It may be quite fiberous plant, maybe i will ask my mother to borrow few leaves of yucca, if not, longer pieces of grass will do the trick. It probably won't be as strong as yucca cordage, but it will help with learning.

YA PUSE MI LIKE 658💪💪APOYANDO TU FANTÁSTICO TRABAJO Y TEMÁTICA🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 CHAD.

Heavenly out there.

Eres una máquina nene 👍

Chad youre Amazing and Handsome Primitive man

I often make rope out of nettles. you can make rope out of it and you can eat it too. has a lot of proteins. greets from germany

great video, commenting to support

Fish hook cactus spine, a bit of heat and bending if required, and I’d call that a great fishing kit!!!! I make strings doing twisting, but I use my hands only, not like you showed, I’ll have to try it that way!!! 😊

Oh yeah

you is fantastic

Félicitations pour votre travail 👍 Du Cambodge

hi sir, it takes patience and full precision to make a rope from natural materials like that and you succeeded wow amazing 👍😁

Yes. Great. 😀🖖👍

Nice instructional video. I got to get myself some pants like that or shave one leg. I'm still making cordage with the reverse twist in the hands and yeah it takes so long.

here in the North East, milkweed is a great plant for cordage

خیلی وقت است که منتظر ویدئوی شما هستم 🌹❤🙏

Aahhhh, thank you :-) Woohooo!

I wonder when will you do a spear fishing?

❤

I made cordage out of the yucca from my forest. It works but it doesn’t separate in fine fibers like your variety. It comes off in strips

👍👍👍

Наверное такая медитация, когда делаешь эту верёвку

Завжди цікаво якви створюєте матеріали для проєктів.Дякую за кожне відео

Áché Uma thank you for you work

Very good tip. Just twisting it with your fingers takes a long time and is probably much more tiring than this. I'm going to try this method.
