How To: Turn Grass Into Rope

YouTube Poster

All rope is made basically the same way. If you find yourself in a survival situation you can resort to using natural fibers such as grass to create rope through this ancient method.

“Note that for best results, each of the two tails of the rope should be twisted an equal number of turns as they’re wound. That will ensure that the two coils wind around one another tightly and in a double helix pattern. If one side is twisted less than the other it will tend to stay straight, while the more twisted side coils around it like a spring. When I first started winding the rope in the video you can see I didn’t do a very good job twisting both strands evenly for the first few inches, and one side was coiled more than the other. Try to avoid that, as it will be a weak point.”
