...or as I like to call it, rope. LOL! Is there a difference?
Could be one of the more important skills to learn.
It's quite easy if you got the right materials though. I made this up in a few hours from gathering to finish.
Mine's a lil rough around the edges because I didn't spend a lot of time to carefully remove all the chaff. Also this stuff has set thru the winter in an old drainage ditch. I'm surprised how easily it was made and how very tough it is.
If I'da removed all the chaff it would look much prettier and have been much easir to twine. I have a few thin spots and a few bulging spots, but it is functional and that's what counts in my book.

I used the leg rolling method shown here http://www.primitiveways.com/cordage_video.html After having done it once, with good clean fibers I could easily crank out a foot a minute or less. It goes real quick and I rolled it on my bare leg using a lil water for friction.
primitive ways dot com has endless good info on abo skills and such. Really good stuff!
