The coconut husk also makes great kindling, the shell can be used as a bowl or cup, and the liquid inside restores electrolytes... That's why coconuts are known as the "tree of life"

[@ga3872]

Shivnay Kumar i always watch his videos they're so cool

[@739redrose]

That is really cool. How much coconut husk did you use to make that length of rope? Was that all from only one nut or did you use multiple husks.

[@TheKingofRandom]

+739redrose Good question. It was from 3 husks. But I didn't use all the fibers in all the husks either. Just the stuff that was easier to get out.

[@jeebusdominguez8021]

Grant Thompson - "The King of Random" you should do some videos on primitive technology that would be great.... been subscribed since the beginning love your videos

[@matthewanthony2126]

I think he said 4-5

[@Antiork]

@Jeebus Dominguez: there is a youtube channel exactly called "primitve technology" where he does exactly that. he builds huts and stoneaxes and stuff from scratch. And by sccratch i literally mean from stick and stones!

[@739redrose]

There is a KZbin channel called "Primitive Technology" that I think you may like, if you are not a subscriber already. :)

[@purplecleo]

This is how fiber is spun! You can make a stronger rope by spinning a long yarn using a huge batch of husks. The grafts won't be quite as strong as a single long yarn. And then continue in the manner you described, plying two long yarns together.

[@jan_kx2984]

Hey Grant Thompson! I just wanted to say thank you! You entertain your Community with every single video! And what you are entertaining with isn't just to upload any videos and get more subscribers, no, it's very interesting and seems to be very much and hard work. So, greeting and much thanks from Germany, my friend! :D P.S.: Could you please make a video about making a tesla coil? Would be nice! Thanks and Bye Bye! ;)

took some serous work to make it, but i made one about 2 1/2 feet long and i put my 5 year old brother on it and he is about 40 pounds (i think) and it held him up and that was only with one double twist

When you give up on survival, this would be a nice way out.

[@MuixEmXee]

Grant i have been following your posts for quite some time and every time you do not fail to surprise with your content... these recent ones you are doing on your vacation are really the best, and what makes it great is that i am from the Maldives, strands of islands located in the Indian Ocean, and the tricks you've shown with the coconut are exactly how people used to use these resources. You made the rope making process so simpler than our traditional way, how you broke the coconut out of its husk that was quite interesting since we did it a very different way which requires or kinda wastes energy compared to how you let the gravity so all the work. Some day it would be awesome if you and your family could visit Maldives for vacation. I personally would be really interested help in anyways possible. Cheers

3 strand is the most stable. 2 strand as you made is ok but can get uneven under load and isn't as strong(strands spiral more), 4 strand requires a core to wrap around but is stronger and less springy(strands spiral less).

[@Metqa]

It's called a two strand twist and I use it to style my hair. you twist the two strands clockwise then wrap them around each other counter-clockwise. They can't unwind because they have tension in two rotations. They use that method for rug tassles too.If you were to sit and brace the center with your foot or your toe, you could use both hands to twist and use your arm motion to wrap at the same time.

[@SatyaSanathani]

MoistGoat go to primitive survivor

[@alexgetsactive1203]

MoistGoat actually most of its actually quite simple just get a branch about 11/2 inches thick to 2 inches (to ensure structural strength) i would guess use his rope making method or if you have any thin string (i used nylon string for my bow very strong) and then the only problem i would have is making the arrorws but you could probably do that with very thin branches with a shard of rock secured on it with said rope...as for the fletching you could probably use a small leaf or leaves or use the strands from the coconut as for adequate aerodynamics if you cant find any birds to use their feathers
