How to make a rope yourself

Irreplaceable and very useful attribute for survival is the rope. It is difficult to list all areas of application for their huge number. It is necessary to know how to make the rope yourself. In this section, we will talk about how to make a rope yourself from improvised means of plant origin. We won't list all the types of plants suitable for the manufacture of Verve, and will focus on the most simple and common - nettle. Moreover, the manufacturing technology is practically no different.

So, the first thing we are looking for bushes of nettles that is not located in the open countryside. Burnt out in the sun vegetation is not desirable for us. Finding a suitable thicket to secure the open parts of your hands from burns begin to collect. Pull out together with the roots of the longest specimens. The next step is to clean the stems from the leaves and cut them along the entire length with a knife. For future strings we will need only"the skin." Therefore, remove it, or rather, then choose the internal fibers.

Resulting skin nettle need to stretch something like a roller. Preparing in this way the stems go to the dryer. Hang nettles in the shade(no full sun), for a day, allowing it to dry naturally. After drying, gather the fiber into a beam with a thickness approximately equal to the thickness of the rope that you need to make. Divide the beam into three parts and fix one end of each part. Now start to weave alternately overlapping parts with each other. Exactly like a pigtail. Do this under tension, leaving lax areas. 15-20 cm up to the end, begin to weave new beams connecting them with already received thus creating wholeness. Making the rope is not in a hurry to turn in a coil, and give yourself some time to rest up. For a more durable rope, repeat the braiding, only now instead of beams use three woven rope. Strengthening promazyvaya part braids wax. That's the answer to the question: how to make a rope received.
