Making Rope out of Grass

[@Gunman-br2ut]

I was like.....yea but does it work.......proceeds to exceed my Expectations

Can't do better than that, exceed ones expectations.

@@WoodsboundOutdoors my guy . I did not know I needed to know this. But glad I do now.

[@RealRedRabbit]

The whole time I was wondering "Can it support the weight of a person?" Glad you showed yourself actually climbing with it. Good stuff.

Let’s learn how to tie a noose😊

[@RealRedRabbit]

@@oowo9323 that would be more practically applicable to me, but I already know how to tie one.

[@ForrestMccroy]

It can support a lot more than a person. At that thickness it could probably support at least like 500 lbs.

[@marshallferron]

one tip I'd add is don't start in the middle of your first bundle. you want one side to start out longer than the other so you're not having to add more grass at the same place on the rope. That helps keep the thickness more consistent

[@downwithtrudeau]

Staggered connections would also be way stronger.

[@vickieadams6648]

Agreed 💯

[@jcruz5050]

Looks like it worked just fine to me. Don't fix it if it ain't broke

[@Aslapfromthefuture]

That makes sense

[@iwanttwoscoops]

@@jcruz5050Uh, no. Improvement/feedback is good; don’t take it so personally. It makes a huge difference in max tensile load. Staggering the grass spreads out the weak points, rather than perfectly aligning them for failure. The max strength is determined by the friction forces along the ENDS of grass bundles. Aligning both bundles’ ends will significantly lessen the max load.

[@Rpg39_]

Instant sub for the demonstration at the end. I think we all assumed the rope would be weak. Nice.

[@JizzyPalms]

While camping in the mountains there was a spot a rope was left to get across. This pretty big gap in the rock. Well whoever left it took it when they went back through. I was trapped on the far side. Another guy came up who was also trapped. But he knew how to make a grass rope. We did this and got out. Will never forget the power of grass rope.

I knew it was going to be strong, but when I saw the end, I went, "That's some Tarzan shit!" Completely blew my expectations away.

[@V3ND10L4]

I've seen a similar rope lesson and they suggested not start in the middle but toward one end and that would cause feeding grass in at different points making it stronger. Seems to work. 😊👍🏾

[@fnafplayer6447]

Make a video on it

[@scojo6377]

I've gotta learn how to do this well. That way, I don't have to worry about running out of cordage in the woods, plus I'll be able to be that guy at the party.

[@briansymmes7917]

I’ve seen an old guy in the desert in Rajasthan make a rope like this out of an old plastic feed bag, they cut it into 2 or 3 long strips and keep twisting and weaving it just like your technique. On its own the feed sack was weak as hell but the rope can be used to tether a camel, which is bloody strong.

[@ratsoup1944]

Nice to see it can handle a decent weight (with all due respect 😂) good way to exemplify its strength!

People can go to hell for scandal. CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SECOND EDITION 2284: "Scandal is an attitude or behavior which leads another to do evil. The person who gives scandal becomes his neighbor's tempter. He damages virtue and integrity; he may even draw his brother into spiritual death. Scandal is a grave offense if by deed or omission another is deliberately led into a grave offense". Quotes from the bible: "Thou shall not murder" "God Is Love" "Thou shall not lust" "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" "God said: Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness" "pray without ceasing" "beware false prophets" "do not be decieved" "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of Light" "I AM The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through me." Matthew 18 ► (New International Version) "At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me." “If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!"

Another great thing about tall grass, is that it reduces the heat on the ground below by many degrees. I think there's too many reasons why we shouldn't be forced to make our lawns "pretty," by cutting them.

[@l-_Val_-I]

Ooh nice, great content man! But won't it break once the grass starts to dry?

[@120pcsaprox]

I was wondering the same... Maybe it depends on the kind of grass you use. Ancient ropes were made from hemp, linen, cotton, alfa and so many other fibers that were processed and dried. But some weed become weak when dried.

THE FUN PART IS THAT THE ROPE IS COMPLETELY BIODEGRADABLE!! MAKE IT, USE IT, LEAVE IT BEHIND & IT'LL NOURISH THE EARTH, MORE WILL BE THERE NEXT TIME FOR OTHERS!!!

[@Kofever_productions]

Glad you showed what it could do. Now I wonder if it will still work when it's dried...

[@denimjez]

You should try that with different thicknesses of grass or breaking down the stuff that's there to see if the finer the strands you start with the stronger or weaker your rope. I see twisting it already crushes the cellulose and removes air gaps. I think if you had a finer material you could compress it farther. Just crushing the structure a few times beween rocks or branches might make you able to grab and work with more material per handful. Either the rope would get smaller or you could add more material to make the same sized rope. Would this increase the strength, and if so how much?

Mother nature always wins.

[@Vaniity_Velvet]

Plain grass can work, but it wont be ideal. The rope wont be as strong, will be messier and take way more of it. What you want is either Wild Wheat or Reed Grass. Like what he used in the video. Green Briar Vines are ideal, just trickier to find it and you have to deal with the thorns on them. But, knock them off and you got a decent Rope that may even last longer. Or, keep the Thorns on and wrap the vines around a Fence if you want to try and keep animals like Coyotes out.

[@mo1976ney]

Are you related to the director, by any chance?

[@howeid]

Random. What's the idea behind making the grass in to a rope for burning purposes?

[@charleshill1906]

@@howeid well, I wouldn't think you could directly use it for a reliable heat source as dry grass (hay) would burn up fairly quickly...however... If the cordage was relatively dense you could justify it if you didn't have a reliable source of firewood around your home and an excessive amount of grass to exploit. But I would think that you'd be spending an awful long time making rope, setting it aside to dry and harvesting it in the field. So it'd probably end up being far more labor intensive than cutting, splitting and hauling actual wood. It would be an interesting experiment to see how much grass rope you'd need to get the same effect as a log in terms of heat output and burn duration.
