How to Make Rope or Cordage from Trash

[@permofit]

You do such a good job of explaining things in such a thoughtful way

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you permofit! Sometimes showing how to do it comes a lot easier than trying to tell it.

[@markgupton1313]

I love her

[@SLFYSH]

Agreed. I really appreciate the care you take on the critical make or break points, that seem to be where most people could struggle without realizing what's going wrong. Thank you.

[@rdsimaging]

As soon as i started playing your video my daughter ran to the kitchen and made me pause it and pinky swear to wait on her to use the bathroom to play it! She said, "Don't play it without me! I like that lady!" 😊💞🙏 much love and God bless.... now my kid will be twisting everything in the house 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@kurtsibila9682]

WHAT AN AMAZING VIDEO. THANK U. I SHOWED MY WIFE THIS VIDEO AND YOUR EGG VIDEO. THANK U

[@2MulesHomestead]

Just watched the video and love the variety of topics covered. It occurred to me while watching the twisting and helix pattern of cordage, that our DNA is designed this way. Ingenious method created by God.🙂

[@charitytanel8107]

Oh the stedfast love of the lord never ceases, may we be entwined with him much stronger than cordage through the power of the holy ghost. May he stretch where we would break and let the Lord Jesus lift us and keep us to a heavenly place, forever. Amen.

[@MrJbaker020]

You are like an angel. Thank you for all your hard work and faithfulness. The Lord Jesu bless you and keep you from evil and in the palm of His hand

[@Constitutionalapologist]

Those hay cords are awesome ans so strong. I use them for almost everything, literally. Thank you for the video and God bless:)

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Yes, Joni! They are good for so many things!

[@gingerehrhardt843]

I save all my hay and straw cords too. They are better than duct tape in many situations! I've hauled home many goats in the bed of my pickup by creating either ties around their horns or collars around their necks, so they can stand or lay down, but cant step towards either side of the bed to jump out.

(YOUR GOD’S BEST,) PEOPLE TURN TO JESUS HE COMING SOON BE READY. 🕎

[@midsouthhomestead9180]

Amen

[@JGS819]

Loved this and the solar oven video! God bless

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you, JGS! God bless you too!

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

Wow, thank you, soooo much. When we have so many plastic bags, this is so creative. Thanks again for caring so much, and explain it so well. 🙏👏🌟🌻❤️👍❄️🥰🍁✝️

[@HeKeepsMeSinging]

Thank you so much. I was singing that scripture song a couple of days ago and couldn't remember where the verse was. I forgot to look it up and here you are quoting it. GOD is SO Good!!

[@conniebuchner4715]

I am going to try making cording. Love to all reading!❤️

[@jeffvolk1023]

I really do appreciate you Christa!

[@CombatDoc54]

Loved this video, you are such an amazing soul. Now, I have something to do this Winter, (seriously and in front of the fireplace). I had probably around 300 of these bags as I use 5 or 6 a day when I clean my cat's litter boxes and for use in my bathrooms. I have many from Walmart (of course) and many from Dollar General which are yellow. Two things I thought about using these for was for hanging plants, (which I have many) and also for lines to connect to my crawfish traps. They would be perfect for that or maybe even making fish stringers. In closing, I want to thank you for glorifying His name.

[@midsouthhomestead9180]

I have learned so much from you and are blessed by your words from the GOOD LORD.

[@Frisbinator]

HEY! WHO THUMBS DOWNED THIS WONDERFUL LADY?!

[@teresaroman3348]

This is very helpful, I have seen others do this, but could not follow their instructions...I followed your instructions very easily! Love and hugs.

[@WarwolfManimal]

Love your attitude as well as your knowledge rock on lady

[@iartistdotme]

I would like to do this with the plastic bags to recycle and make a couple of bathroom mats by braiding them or simple crochet. Love how one of the pictures showed brown cords woven with white cords and that is cool also.

[@susandorry6149]

Thank you, I have so many bags and needed something to make with them other than crocheting.

[@rodneybetts6086]

Thank you for showing us how to do this. I have sen other videos on how to maker this type of cordage but never have I saw how to start this out. You have demonstrated the proper way to start and finish this.

[@SLFYSH]

Much support and encouragement to keep going doing what you do. I appreciate it, and honestly am thinking Proverbs 31 every time I watch one of your videos. That, I can't top.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

I aspire to that and have a ways to go, but thank you so much. God bless you, SLFYSH!

[@shaylow988]

I LOVE this channel! You always offer such unique and useful ideas! Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@bonivermectin4087]

You are honestly so resourceful and creative

[@funniful]

I “braid” my hair this way sometimes. 2 strands: Twist each strand counter-clockwise separately. …(and at the same time…) twist those strands Together clockwise. It makes a Rope. Alternatively: You could twist the two strands clockwise separately, and twist them together counterclockwise. As long as you do the opposite, it doesn’t matter which way you twist.

[@AlexaMGilbert]

You are the best! Who would have thought about making cords until you showed us!

[@steveday4797]

Excellent information, thank you

[@GinxHorne]

Ingenkous snd totally worksble. Thx Christa. God bless you and yours!

[@PiccoloMichelaChannel]

In Italy those plastic bags are banned and very rare since some years now, because they are not compostable. I am amazed that you still have them

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Interesting, PiccoloMichela! Many stores are trying to stop using them, but most still do, especially here during this season of Covid.

[@teddysalad8227]

They might not be compostable but they are biodegradable. In fact, the cordage you’re making with trash bags will deteriorate rather quickly. In months rather than years.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

That is true, Brother Theodore. . .and it is a good thing they do. They are sure great though, in an emergency or for the short-term.

[@biddibee3526]

We can still buy them. They are called T-shirt bags

[@danidunavant6978]

Great useful information! And a way to use all those plastic bags that seem to multiply!!!!!!!!

[@mamanurse1208]

Thank you for your videos- values wisdom! God bless! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@afternoobtea914]

This was very interesting indeed. Going to test it out tomorrow.

[@gingerehrhardt843]

WOW! That is so cool! I have got to try that.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

I am glad, Ginger! I hope you do!

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

That looks like it might be good exercise when you got arthritis in both hands real bad. Or it's going to be very 😣 I never thought of using plastic bags. I remember we used to get the horse grass and make cordage out of that... Thank you for all the good ideas may you be blessed in Jesus name... BBE 🤗🤗❤️❤️

[@JoseGomez-gr3tf]

You are so smart And so handy thank you for !

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you, Jose!

[@ikarus666]

Its a pleasure to see such a wonderful lady. I wish I was more feminine like you. Instead my daughter is joking with me that i behave like a man. Well no wonder lol i was raised by a military officer and he never treated me like a girl. Thank you for the useful advices. I especially liked hard tack video.

[@kathie4837]

Thank you! Another lesson learned 😊

[@meaniebeavers1112]

This is so informative! I have several big boxes of grocery bags i keep in my shed I could do this with. I knew I was saving them for something. I use them for small garbage in bathrooms and bedroom but have many many more than I need.

[@mvblitzyo]

excellent skills and ending with a prayer thanks ! GOD BLESS ,

[@thomasstone3719]

Thank You Crista and Merry Christmas! Psalms 111

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Same to you! Merry Christmas, Thomas!

[@mey-01]

Verdaderamente util. Gracias por la enseñanza, Saludos desde La Barca Jalisco, Crista Arredondo! Dios te bendiga!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Gracias, Salvador!

[@mrjoseph9827]

Wow. I always learn so much.

[@maryellenyork2819]

I had planned to cut bags for crocheting. I think that is another way to create cords.

[@bugoutbubba3912]

Great skill that everyone needs to practice. Nice video. I found a rope maker in the loft of my fathers barn. It is relatively crude but incorporates three strands rather than two. It has a crank but could easily be powered by a drill. Im gonna try to reproduce and improve it. If I'm successful I may make a video. Or better yet, I could mail one to you and you could make the video. Lol, no one would want to watch me make a rope if they could watch you instead.

[@charitytanel8107]

Go for it b

[@StephanieJoRountree]

Smart!

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Thank you, Stephanie. :)

[@deannastevens1217]

Wonderful.

[@gilbertcammarn874]

Ain't that sumpn. Gotta try this and show grand kids

[@tahanlaoboy]

Good for to make the fire starter for survival skill

[@marthaleone584]

Super interesting Thank you; useful, educational, great. Question; ideas on rapping into rugs to use as quilted winter wall covering

[@MrScottytoohottie]

Very nice, and eduacational video. Thank you, and God bless. :)

[@IsabellaM._]

I will try it. God Bless. 🙂

[@flordilizalatina9376]

Goodmorning too you! You are a such nice person, Is really, i appreciate how you explained those thing's is really good..And i'll been doing the same too! Thank's a lot, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy may god blessed you ..From Europe

[@joybogacki1232]

I like doing a slip knot

[@johnmcginnis5201]

Hmm. I find cutting loops out of the bags quicker. Cut the loops, interlink them, three strands with a rope maker works pretty well.

[@cindyrobertson3798]

I have seen these Matt's in Guam and Phillipines

[@popeye1313]

And I do know you're a God-fearing woman

[@BushImports]

The plastic bags are too stretchy , I tried making a climbing rope out of some and got nearly finished before I decided there is too much stretch for it to work wel, I didn't do it like you did though, I braided it, it was between 1.5 and 2 inches in diameter if I remember right. That is a good way to show how to do it though.

[@69fenderstratdan]

Thanks for the lesson. You are as smart as you are beautiful.

[@HerbalistMax]

Comment to foil ScrewTube's Algorithm!

[@dirtymikeandtheboys7900]

Your videos have shown me a lot. You're like the real life MacGyver but better.

[@hknisley2000]

❤❤❤

[@merryanneadair4451]

If you needed to stop while working on your cord, would a clip type clothespin hold it til you come back to resume your twisting? Also maybe using one to 'hold' your progress as you work, kind of a third hand, as your doorknob would be?

[@theobserver450]

What a great way to recycle plastic bags

[@georgeblair3894]

What is the strength of this compared to paracord? ( 550 cord)

[@lorettaburt908]

These are much more easier to make . They are sometimes used for the homeless to create a mattress type... And out of one bag you can make a continuest line which measures many feet ..... U can crochet mats.. I noticed yours was a weave unlike what u demastrated.. Any way I wasn't intending to comment as you never answer me ... I watch your video of apple cider , I'm sure 50 times and was interested and wanted to know a little more but I didn't respond 🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦🎄🙏🙏♥️

[@PREPSTEADERS]

Loretta, thank you for the comments. Yes, these bags can just be woven into all sorts of things just as they are or cut into strips. I was demonstrating how to make a sturdier cordage or rope that can lift far more than the bag is capable of left as-is. I am so glad you made the Vinegar! I get hundreds of emails and comments every day so there is just no way to reply to everyone. I am really sorry your questions got missed.

[@carpenterbud1414]

Good job! Did you make the carry bag that was shown? If so, brilliant! If we don't see you again before the 25th have a very Merry Christmas! Blessings

[@tomallen6073]

After the first foot or so I would be looking for my cordless drill. That’s allowed right? 🙂

[@TodayinJensSewingRoom]

This twisting technique is really easy if you braid or twist your hair. Same principle applies. And that verse in Lamantations is my favorite - do you know the old worship song? You'll never forget the verse if you know the song.

[@jtjjbannie]

Very interesting idea, but I really gotta wonder how strong it actually is.

[@PREPSTEADERS]

I regret not having shown that, Bud! It is amazingly sturdy. If I test it properly with enough weight to break it, I will let you know the results!

[@jtjjbannie]

@@PREPSTEADERS Thanks!

[@rojannazimmerman6031]

ABC's of Salvation A. Admit you're a sinner "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe Jesus died for your sins. "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23 C. Call upon his name Confess: " If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9-10 😊

[@popeye1313]

Are you single
