How to make 2 ply reverse twist cordage


Cordage is an incredibly important resource in a bushcraft setting.  In this video I show you how to make 2 ply reverse twist cordage from lime bast.  But the method is the same if you’re using nettle fibres, brambles or any other fibres.

It’s a method of making cordage that has been developed all the around the world, testament to its effectiveness.

We make 2 ply reverse twist cordage on our IOL Bushcraft Competency Course, as well as our 2 Day Bushcraft Course and 5 Day Bushcraft Course.

You can see lots of photos of participants here as well as on our Facebook page.
