Use an old fishing reel to pull the string instead of your hands

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

..the fishing spool is a great idea, or a kite string spool... anything other than slicing one's hands to ribbons too! 😂

[@TripAMD]

That was my first thought. Not a spinning reel tho. They twist the line going on the spool. Itd probably have to be a big bait caster or a deep sea reel. But ud still have to manually transfer it to another spool of some kind.

One tip! Put the beginning of the string around an empty bottle with a piece of tape. Then use your drill to rotate the bottle so it automatically pulls the string and spins the string around the bottle!

[@RaleighPierce]

he already has an automatic spool string winder, shown at the beginning of his broom ad

[@dwaynerobertson383]

Wow. My condolences. I just saw this video and subscribed; started scrolling through the comments and...my sincere condolences. I hope this comment is useful - when lashing branches together with this material, you can shrink wrap it with heat to constrict the branches together, real tight. The integrity it gives to the joining/overlapping framework of branches of your shelter is extremely strong. Substitute this for paracord (or string), and heat it. It will shrink tight, no complicated knots to deal with, contour forming. Done. Two pieces become one; two branches married together. Pretty much permanent integrity. I hope this is helpful.

[@bigviper64]

Holy COW!...What a great idea, I’m gonna make a whole bunch of this stuff!

[@rohman2]

For both rope making and other potential applications, it seems like it would be really handy to join lengths of the string together. I wonder if a heat weld could be done to fuse them end-to-end similar to the way a band saw blade is welded. If the weld were smooth, even more applications might take advantage of this string plastic. Thanks for the idea and instruction.
