Mors talks about how to harvest willow bark, process it to use in the making of 2 and 3 strand cordage. Never before seen footage from July 2000. www.karamat.com #MorsKochanski #KaramatWildernessWays

Real wilderness survival techniques video. Most ‘survival’ instruction vids ridiculously assumes you have saws, hunting knives, paracord, tarp and at least a flint and steel....but that is really just survivalist camping fun. Real survival is washing up on a beach with nothing more than the clothes you had on when the boat sank. The three hardest skills you must master are making fire with just your surroundings, making a cutting tool from stone...and making cord to bind items together. Everything stems from those three skills.

This is a spring summer job. In late autumn winter it won't peel like a jacket. It needs whacked and is very difficult to get off. It still cords up well but takes loads of small bits. It's been awhile since I made willow cord in winter time and I made a bow drill cord today 3 double play strands braided. God bless mors wherever he is now.

@1nkw3ll7 жыл бұрын
sirstratocaster yes. folding the additions off-center so one part trails on one side of the twist, and the other side trails along the other portion of the twist. or instead you can simply add the whole piece to one side or the other

@Roarmeister2--Hope you get this. The willow he is talking about he called Bebbs Willow. If I am correct the scientific name is Salix bebbiana. It has another common name which is beaked willow. It occurs from Alaska to Newfoundland across the Great Lakes Area, St. Lawrence Sea Way Area and Boreal Forest.

I liked it, too. I just wish there was some video on how to discover suitable materials rather than having a nice stand of historically primo cordage stock conveniently nearby. How likely is it I will ever be lost in lower Canada the last 2 weeks in May?
@TheGuitarClint8 жыл бұрын
+Chrmngblly It lasts until august that way. All spring and summer. Must have misheard him is all ;) If you watch and observe the properties the bark has you can compare other tree barks in your area and try and find something with similar properties. Cheers
@x3tlacx38 жыл бұрын
Are you able to make cordage out of any type of tree or only specific ones? Also, does peeling the bark like that kill/ruin the tree (only asking because I want to practice but I don't want to destroy all the trees in my yard)
@Willgtl8 жыл бұрын
+Taylor LaCorte Not all tree bark makes good cordage, but a few trees that you probably have access to would be elm, juniper (What is sometimes mistakenly called cedar), willow, hickory, poplar and maple. As far as not killing any trees, don't take too much bark. Really what you're looking to avoid is girdling the tree, which is removing an entire ring of bark. Girdling stops nutrient flow to the rest of the tree above the girdled point, as well as preventing food from getting to the roots. Any bark removed will hurt the tree (Think of if I removed a chunk of your skin), but as long as the circumference of removed bark is 1/4 or less the circumference of the tree, and the tree is healthy, it'll be fine. Of course there is also the possibility of rot and infections, but a well-established tree that's healthy should be fine. The amount he removed from that tree will likely end up killing the tree, but if you keep it small, the trees will do fine. Your best bet if you don't want to kill any trees is to take bark from branches. Just note that if you take too much, there is the possibility that everything beyond that point will die, which can be dangerous if you take it from a large limb, as that limb could eventually break off.
@x3tlacx38 жыл бұрын
+willgtl... Thank you for replying, your answer will be really helpful... I ended up being able to grab a couple of small slivers from a variety of different trees before the snobby ass neighbors in my "luxury" apartment complex came out yelling about the landscaping, and nature, and blah blah blah. I practiced on the pieces I grabbed tho. I had some trouble at first but once i got the hang of it some of the slivers made some really great cordage, others fell apart immediately. I don't know the names of the trees the good slivers came from but I know what they look like, so when it's safe, and none of the douches are looking, I have been sneaking little slivers here and there and just practicing a bit. I'm getting pretty good at it too, if I do say so myself 😊

andcarp93 it doesnt kill the tree. the tree will heal and on a fast growing tree like willows it wont take more that about 1 year to scab up and another year or 2 depending on the seasonal weather to heal itself. IF he was to "ring" the tree, then yes it would die. best practise is to use the entire tree if you ring it. whether you use it for a lean-to or what have you.

who cares that it harms the tree lol, probably half your house furniture made out of wood, the paper that you are writing on comes from wood. where do you think wood comes from ? they chop them massively. there is no way the community of bushcrafters who try to practice some skills make more damage to the forests than loggers do.

Who the hell cares about technical name. Make it easy for people and not more complicated then it is. If you enjoy the fancy terms that's great but most couldn't careless. Bebbs willow works for me.
