Yucca Plant Cordage

[Matt In Oklahoma]

I am going to demonstrate how to make cordage from Yucca Plant. This is not a rope to climb outta the Grand Canyon LOL, it

So i guess the million dollar question to everyone without acess is what would you use that is indiginous to your area?
I'd like to see some thoughts, you know, cause occasionally i have to travel and might not be round here

I wonder if you could do this with KUDZO?

Well lets see you can use the other sheath of nettle once the pith has been broken out, also the dogebane. I have made braided cord with the inner bark of cedar. A very good book is Cedar by Hilary Stewart, it expains everything you would want to know about how to use the Cedar tree. I have used Rattan when I was in the Philippines. I have aslo used rawhide strips. If you can get fine fiber pieces you can make them into cordage. I usually like to do a 2 strand twist first, and then twist those together if I need something larger in diameter.
I'm seeing the need for a video camera.
