Northern Territory Australia Where I live is 6 times the size of UK with 250 thousand people. Many of us still hunt with spears live off grid. Traditional baskets, etc. Still use boomerangs to hunt ducks, geese, etc. So, some things I learned from u have a frequent use . Jess!

Excellent tutorial Jess - just to be a nit picker and awkward roughly how much weight would that rope hold? I realize this is probably not something you have experimented with extensively but looking at it it looks like it would be pretty strong. Nearly asked about the cool concertina stool last video and it's back. Thanks for another great video - Merry Xmas (if you celebrate it and if not happy holidays).

Thanks! Happy holidays/xmas to you too! The capacity of the rope seems to depend largely on a combination of how thick it is and how tight it has been braided. However my rucksack weighed about 6lbs and the rope had no problems supporting it. If I can source some versatile weights I’ll do a video and test it! The still is fab, £25-£30 on Amazon! I believe it’s listed as. “Telescopic camping stool”

How would it go in water as in immersed for say several hours.?

[@Jess_Outdoors637]

I haven’t tried submerging it in water before but I imagine it would swell up and tighten the braid. I’ll do some experimenting and find out 🙂
