I always pick a video for the fam to learn something over dinner.....at the table. I think I'm gonna get some interest tonight.

love it, have known about her modern beautiful mecates for a while and watching this was great! :)

[@BAA12344]

This is stunning. I would love one!

[@nmelkhunter1]

Very neat. I just watched a video on my cellphone about a tradition that’s 300 ? years old being built on equipment that also very traditional. That’s way neat!

[@lisakuehn6436]

Beautiful.

[@Samtzu]

Absolutely beautiful. I don't ride, but I would love a rope like that... and I'll bet that they are STRONG!!

[@teaInTexas]

I’m definitely going to get one for my mustang!!

[@ritamclaughlin9681]

Beautiful! As a hand spinner, I wonder how you are balancing the twist,especially when you plied all those strands together. Very interesting!

[@justaperson4656]

The plying I get, I was taught to ply the opposite direction than the twist to balance it, but an E-spindle/E-wheel intimidates me so much

[@jjackson-7660]

How long are your strands before you start twisting? There must be a lot of shrinkage as they twist. Absolutely beautiful.

[@collettespeidel]

These are beautiful...where can i get them?

[@carlosmante]

The word Mecate cames from the Mexica or Nahuatl "Mecatl".

I love how they ask you to be respectful in the comments section but the woman in your story is wearing a sweatshirt that says F- - k the president of the USA. Respect?

[@OPB]

I do understand your concern. To clarify, the t-shirt actually said, “Let’s go Brandin’ “, which is a play on the idea you mention but is also a pun specific to what these buckaroos actually do. If you know our show, you'll appreciate that we do our level best to keep OFG free from the mess of politics and polarization. It’s not always an easy task, and we don't make everyone happy. We have to make the calls we think are wisest in each situation, as we did in this one. -Ed Jahn, Executive Producer

You want them to censor Let's go brandin'? 😂 Twitter goober

[@hubriscube]

@@grungerobotnow I mis-read. That's actually hilarious.

Why are people so afraid to just say fuck Joe Biden? It's middle school behavior. If it's some sort of secret code, it fails spectacularly.
