@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Historically speaking, ninja tools and weapons were originally made by modifying common farm implements (like rope spinners).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.
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!
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?
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
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.
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.
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!
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 🙏❤
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.
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!
"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.)
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.
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.
Have you experienced any issues with accidentally taking off like an airplane? Would it make sense to weave some kind of bushcraft parachute before attempting this?
Wouldn't you spin opposite the way the jute was originally spun? If the jute was spun clock wise then yes you'd spin counter then reverse it again when you triple it up. But if the twist is counter on the jute then you should start out clockwise. Then counter when you triple it up. I'll put that to the test at home. I have plenty of straight sticks to make a spinner or two. I also have plenty of jute twine to try.
Hey there friend :-) I have a question how would you attach other length together to make a longer rope? And can you show us the process you used two lash off the ends?
Look up “whipping rope”. Several versions, but the simple ones are best! Easy to do after the first botched attempt! FYI dental floss makes great whipping material, and small waxed cord is also good. Hobby Lobby has it in the leather craft area.
"How to make rope"
"First, you're gonna need a bit of rope." AHHHHH
Technically it's twine xD
@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.
Tf I just needs young tree bark(green) ,beat the hell out of it and peel it piece by piece and twisting it by my thumb and index finger!
I was going to say that haha
You can make it by hand
10 pm: ok last video
3 am: R O P E M A K I N G
You are creating hopeness for ropeless people, thank u man.

Up with rope. Down with dope!

And nunchucks were from threshing wheat

Rice flail
sai were used to plant rice!
Historically speaking ninjas didn't exist.
Super cool idea!!
Thanks, Dan! This is great! We're camping in a few weeks and this is definitely on the To Do list for the kids!

Literally have never seen such a dope rope making tutorial. That’s some fine rope.
Watched the video then went out and tried it. Turned out not too shabby. Thanks for the lesson Dan.
made one this afternoon after watching vid.
very impressed with results of rope.
underrated channel with great content

To make rope, you must be a ninja first.....then you can make it 😂😂😂....bravo dude.from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I'm a boy scout and I thought this technique was very cool, simple, and genius. I will definitely try this out some time.
Are the badges cool?

I really like that knife. Thick knives are awesome!
Bushcraft fidget spinners!!!!
I can see that they will make your life easier, but like your take on this, made me laugh.
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
@@jukothrow me to, an old kid at heart, lol. Read my comment above
LOL! fidget spinner, that’s exactly what it will become around the camp fire after you show your kids how to do this.
It's not 2017 anymore
Best tutorial I've seen in ages.
I was thinking of something similar last week but your idea is better than mine!

Very cool trick. Blade work, knot work, rope fabrication, ingenuity. Keep on keepin on.
Awesome! I'm going to try this today! Thanks Dan!
TODAY? Tell us how it went
Thank you Dan. This really helps.
Never seen anyone do that before. Pretty friggin cool man! Thanks

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!
I love that this is happening in PA
Huh, I had no idea that the Mayan Spinner would be a bushcraft tool. That is cool.
Neat tip, never seen this before will have to remember and give it a go. Keep the faith.
"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.

This was a lot of fun to watch. Looking forward to trying it out
Great video 👍
Great video
AND THE BEST INTRO OF THE YEAR GOES TOOOOOOO... COALCRACKER BUSHCRAFT
So glad I stopped and watched that. Thank you dan.
Look into Navajo plying it's used in wool yarn spinning. Would work perfectly for longer rope
I learned something today
Mission accomplished
This is really cool! Thanks Dan!
Very nice rope jig and demo. Thanks for sharing.
Good info.
cool stuff
Veery cool idea thank you for sharing that!!!!!
SIMPLY OUTSTANDING VIDEO.
“ I’m a bushcraft ninja” this is the greatest line in TH-cam
Nice, I have not seen a tool like that used.
Wow thats very cool...thanks for sharing...stay safe
Don't cold crack yourself with your tonfas you are hilarious keep up the videos
I appreciate it.❤❤❤
👍👍👍
Pretty impressive, Survivor-man-Dan.
Awesome video !!!!!!!!!
Thanks Dan !!!!
This would work well making cordage from natural materials in the bush. Wilson would love it!
Very niece video mate.
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.
Excellent video
It's 09:25 am, I have to be at work by 10 but I'm here watching a rope-making video. Why Coalcracker Bushcraft? Why?
*Nice work* Thanks.
Great video. Cant wait to try this out. I'd like to make some with hemp
Would you be able to just use three separate pieces instead of tripling up the rope to be able to maintain length?
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.
Loved it... Seriously
Really cool! I always enjoy the videos, even if I already know how to do the project it's still fun to watch.
A great tool for someone that braids cordage of hardwood bark.
Amazing 💡
So, when you have spun the rope in both ways you cut off the ends to get the finish product?
I feel like any kind of binding or cordage in wilderness is that one thing that can push you farther than anything else in a survival situation
That's really cool! I learned something new today. Thank you!
Pretty handy to know. That stick really speeds up the process. Thanks.
This is an incredible video. Thanks
straight to my mental toolbox
Thanks for sharing 👍
I hope in the next video you will show how to splice rope together.
Unfortunately not but I will get that up sometime soon !
Solid video. Great content for the community
3:32 This won't hurt the tree
The tree: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
This is the type of shit why i love TH-cam.
So cool!
Absolutely cool, thanks.
How do you determine the quality of the material you want to use for making rope? Are there certain things you look for?
thanks Dan
That knife is perfect looking😍
If I use the same principle in this video but modify the device, could I make a lasso rope?
Have you experienced any issues with accidentally taking off like an airplane? Would it make sense to weave some kind of bushcraft parachute before attempting this?
Interesting! I'd like to see the first step though, which is making the initial piece of twine.
Wouldn't you spin opposite the way the jute was originally spun? If the jute was spun clock wise then yes you'd spin counter then reverse it again when you triple it up. But if the twist is counter on the jute then you should start out clockwise. Then counter when you triple it up. I'll put that to the test at home. I have plenty of straight sticks to make a spinner or two. I also have plenty of jute twine to try.
Good wrist work! ;)

Hey there friend :-) I have a question how would you attach other length together to make a longer rope? And can you show us the process you used two lash off the ends?
Look up “whipping rope”. Several versions, but the simple ones are best! Easy to do after the first botched attempt! FYI dental floss makes great whipping material, and small waxed cord is also good. Hobby Lobby has it in the leather craft area.
You da man Dan
Super Video top Job thanks
Making one of these in the weekend!
Poplar will be easy to split
Hey! Something easy and fun I can *actually* try 😀😀
