Thank you for documenting some of the skills of your people and how to effectively use the land around you to thrive, they are unfortunately being lost by most of modern society.
Hey Danielle, Its been a long time. Hope all is well. Yes the process is the same for the reeds. I should have a few more videos come out over the weekend. Depends how quick I can get to it all and if the weather holds up.
HI Simon, just revisited this again. Thanks for your advice and encouragement. I've been shredding old denim jeans for my material and is working well giving a tough rope.
Thanks for the information! I am currently using this process to make string from coconut husk. It’s working!!!!! I appreciate the information more than you can imagine!
Thank you this is great to see. In regards to the use of the inner yellow bark compared to the red bark. As the yellow bark would be more damp compared to the red and is thus easier to work with, when the yellow bark dries does this make the rope tighter and stronger? Thank you
Daphne Raven you may also be able to use the red fibres, how ever I have not been very successful with it as the strands of red fibre seem to be shorter in left and fragile. Anything is possible I guess. If I collect some more bark, I’ll be sure to experiment more and let you know
I really love your videos. They have been very helpful for my time spent in the bush. I'm thankful for the knowledge that has been nurtured in this great country and want to keep learning how to respectfully move through the bush.
Geoff Geoff hey mate, I believe but using the one strand and folding it adds strength. When processing the strands of fibre, you could make the strands a lot longer and avoid such small strand of fibre I had in the video.
Omg Simon I really needed this video, I am stuck in the bush and had data and really needed sting so I watched your video and it helped sooooooooooo much, your an absolute legend Simon (don’t be fooled your video didn’t save my life but did help)

Awesome video Simon. Is the twist and fold over on itself process the same with reeds? (Danielle Walker)

Bro! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Great stuff , love learning this stuff! You made it very easy, to understand!
this is really helpful. I'm making aboriginal tools for school as I have relatives from the Wiradjuri tribe in Cowra.
Thank you so much for your teachings! I have always been curious about this
Hi, Simon! Tyvm for this tutorial.
I can't help but wonder : is it possible to use the red fibres if a person were to soak them for a while first?

May I ask what tree I could use its bark to make this?
Stringy bark tree
@@cooperstephen thank you!
Thanks for sharing, this was great
Question. Why fold each bundle in half? Why not use two separate bundles and only need to join half as often?
Geoff Geoff hey mate, I believe but using the one strand and folding it adds strength. When processing the strands of fibre, you could make the strands a lot longer and avoid such small strand of fibre I had in the video.
This is fantastic. Thank you!
