How to make Natural Cordage from Tree Roots | TAOutdoors

When out in the forest or woods, it is surprising how much natural cordage is available to you. The woods I spend a lot of time in are coniferous woods full of black pine trees (Pinus Nigra, which have shallow roots that are easily accessible with a little digging. To make the roots useable as cordage you can strip the coating off them and split the root to make it more supple and pliable. You can also add water to the root to help make knots tighter and make it easier to work with. Hope you enjoy the video – Mike.
