Oh crap was I telling lies about it not growing in the southern hemisphere? Great, I guess us silly poms brought it with us on a boat with some foxes and rabbits and possibly a couple of toads😂. Thanks for watching Arielle.
Hello Andy, I was going to mention the pith. I always think about what I am going to say and then forget half of it😂. Thanks for watching mate. Hope you have a fantastic weekend.
The white stuff will be back. Like I didn't have enough work already 😂. Patience is a virtue I don't have so much of. Did you notice that I only made about 6inches of cordage😂. I have been teaching the guides how to make cordage which is where the idea for the video came from. I do have patience really, just not much Time😂. Thanks for watching Dan
Very nice I've been collecting grasses the ones that resist molding is the ones I will be using this winter to make things There's a very thin grass I really like it it's very strong too and the cows don't like it probably like eating thin wire or something 😂 Much love xoxox thanks
There was a grass I used to use in Spain, Carix if I remember rightly, at least that's what it was called in Catalan, I think it's actually the Latin name. We don't get too much grass round here. I do like pine roots too, not just for cordage but also for making little baskets. I use willow for the shape and fill with roots. Thank you very much for watching.
Fireweed grows all over where I live; I've never thought about making it into cordage. Good to know though, so thanks for sharing. Take care and Cheers!
Thank you, yes it's all over the place in the north, expecially around farms and towns. Really quite a useful plant, expecially up here where we don't get much between lichens and trees😂. Thanks for watching bud.
Para algunas cosas ya no necesitas cuchillo; tu trabajo y el entorno, te ha dotado de garras. Un abrazo, amigo. 👌🏼 Vaya, parece que en este canal sí me dejan editar. Es un placer ver tus vídeos. Te escribo en español porque sé que te gusta. 😉
Gracias amigo, siempre va bien practicar el Español un poco. Hoy el otro canal ha llegado a mil suscrptores. Puedo practicar con mucha gente😂. Gracias por el apoyo amigo Un abrazo fuerte desdel norte
To be honest if you have many plants to choose from the fireweed is probably not the best choice. I image yuca would be really good. I have used agave (in the same cowboy film desert box as yuca in my head😂). Agave is great if a bit messy. Thanks for watching Joe
Fireweed is quite handy, good tinder, makes cordage and edible. One of the nice things about learning the uses of plants is a lot of the well known ones grow in lots of different countries. For example I bet you get Yarrow. They are mostly agricultural weeds that follow humans around, even this far north at least around human habitation and disturbed ground. Thanks for watching John. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Nettle fibers are easier to work wih I seem to remember. Not much in the way of nettles up here though. Always interesting to work with different materials.
I am sure there are many childhood memories of this plant. There is a lovely Finnish song about it, it's called something like hobo"s rose. Guy gets drunk for a while and comes back to his wife with a bunch of these. She isn't impressed 😂. Thanks for watching mate.
@@KuukkeliBushcraft I’ll look it up. Never thought much of these plants but your video brought back memories. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to more vids
Good skills to know and use. Is the twisting technique in making plant cordage the same as the one the Saami use to twist up strips of tanned reindeer skin to make the leather cord for rope & Leauku dangler sheaths cordage? Could you film on how to make leather cordage if not the same as plant cordage? The old township road past my childhood home farm, is now called Fireweed Lane. I can never remember seeing a fireweed plant near that road. We do have beautiful large patches of it in my part of Alaska. Honey bees make a wonderful clear honey from the fireweed nectar contained in the blossoms.
I did actually do this with rawhide on my Saami needle case video and yes this is (I believe at least) the same technique used for making the belt loops on many traditional Saami knives although the more mass produced ones have the more normal puukko style with one strip of twisted leather. We also hae a Lemming alley here where I have never seen a lemming😂 place names can be interesting here. My favourite is Palojoki, wild fire river (could never work out how that got it's name😂. I should do some leather craft videos when it starts to get too dark to film outside. Thanks for watching my friend.
Things often go wrong the first time you try (at least they do for me). At least it tasted good. Thanks for watching the video mate, glad you enjoyed it

Thank you Tim. As always, very enjoyable.
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed the video.
Sweet video Tim !! Thank you 😊
Thank you mate, very nice to hear that you liked the video.
So much interesting information and many uses for fireweed that I never knew. 👍

Nice job mate! One of my favourites! I like the succulent pith in the center! Like fresh cucumber on a hot day! 👍🏻👍🏻😎 best wishes 🍻

Good stuff Tim. Patience is a virtue in the art of cordage making that's for sure. It's good to see that the white stuff never stayed.
The white stuff will be back. Like I didn't have enough work already 😂.

@@KuukkeliBushcraft Hahahaha I did. One of these days I'll have to collect, sit back and give it a go. I'll see your 6 and raise you 6 more. LOL

Very interesting Tim bro !! I've read about this nethod with stinging nettles too !! ..awesome !!.. I hope you have a great week ahead tomorrow !!
I hope you have a great weekend Andy. Takes a while but I get there in the end. Thanks for stopping by buddy.
Interesting Tim! 🤣👍👏👏👏👏 Lapland leading the eay in humble knowlegde and trading 🇫🇮 🤘👏👏👏💯
Thanks Jas mate, we also lead the way in consumption of Koskenkorva vodka. Might be why they say Finland is the happiest country in the world 😂

Very nice bit Tim... I have used yucca, cat tail and other plants for cordage. Didn't know about fire weed, thank you.

Good video, thanks for sharing, God bless !
Glad you liked it mate, thank you very much for stopping by. God bless you too Michael.
Thanks for sharing this. Lots of fireweed where I live. I'd like to learn more about edible plants and wild herbs that grow in my area.

Excellent! I did this with Ray Mears (namedrop!!) using nettles but I'm going to try rosebay next year, gentler on the finders!
Nettle fibers are easier to work wih I seem to remember. Not much in the way of nettles up here though. Always interesting to work with different materials.
When I was 10-11 I used to grab piles of them set them alight all the time. Never knew we could fry the shoots though!

I will rewatch the needle case video again and pay more attention.
tried the syrup , didnt work which i think was due to a lack of pectin ratio, tasted lovely tho lol nice video mate
