My daughter and I shot this video up on the mountain where I do part of my survival course. I had been there the week before with two guys and we sat out a storm under a rock overhang. While waiting I had used the time to teach them how to make cordage.
My daughter wanted to go up there so I found myself back in the same spot a week later with all the fixin's to make cord so we shot a short how-to. My cordage technique is a little different but it works well with the materials we have on hand.
In this vid I'm using Imbira bark. Imbira is a great survival resource as the saplings are long and straight and the bark is good for lashings or cordage. It is the perfect shelter tree.
