[@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard]

Released this because tomorrow's video has a snippit of this in :)

[@jctoad]

thanks for showing us the ropes Elise. You've probably heard that one like a million times

[@MarcusWolfWanders]

To see such a tradition carry on for so long until cameras/television were invented is rather astounding. I had known about some of the methods used to make rope, but as an American had never heard of this cave or anything like it. I'm enjoying all of the tidbits that I'm picking up from watching your videos Elise, greetings from Michigan!

[@MrGreatplum]

This was fascinating and you are so good at explaining and being a tour guide 👍🏻

[@yangto996]

So interesting to hear the story of the ropemakers, but also see you explain everything directly to others!! You are such a natural guide and great at sharing knowledge in an engaging way

Enjoyable presentation, I think you enjoyed this job :) Bertie, going to have to look the fellow up some. I do like hemp rope. Good, strong, resilient and long lasting and not near as expensive now as when we legalized it a decade+ back. Flax rope, never used it before :O Sisal is just unpleasantly coarse but cats enjoy it. Anyway :) a very good demonstration of rope making. As my parents aged, they took trips, one was to a ship yard museum in I believe Virginia USA. If I recall their discussion on the experience the rope walk was over 1000 feet long, and they would make miles of rope at a time. Those big ships took a lot of rope to rig :) Today's machines are marvels of engineering compared to the historic making but the principles still remain.

Very interesting and quite a different product from some of the ropes produced today.

[@jonathan_60503]

Very interesting

[@promiscuous5761]

Thank you.

[@MisterQuacker]

Now I wanna make rope, I live in Oregon. Plenty of "flax" here haha! Party Hearty! *waves*

[@Alan_Hans__]

That's cool and I guess that's how you knew some of the back story about this cave when you showed the video a while back. How long ago was this and how long were you a tour guide there?

[@BethKjos]

First I've heard of the Marrison loop, and I was briefly a knots geek. If they didn't mix with townsfolk, perhaps that's part of why? Then again, it also looks like it only works on traditionally-made rope -- not some mere segment of line.

I hope this doesn't come across crude but she has to be the sexiest woman ever to me. I saw her in super cold water with Tom Scott, She's very pretty and she's passionate about history. I couldn't ask for more.
