Manse, is in my opinion, one of the best teachers of bushcraft in the U.K.
Yeah and Mike MCQ.
Amen brother and also extremely humble too ~Peace~

Like the wood pidgeon howling in the background.
Amen to that, can hear bird song all day ~Peace~
I knew you could make cordage out of pine roots but I didn't know you could make cordage out of ceader roots. Thanks for the video.
Me neither up till recently, appreciate you watching and for your kind words dude ~Peace~
Manse is the real deal! Thanks for sharing this one, Zed.
Amen to that Gordon amen ~Peace~
awesome as usual my friend! We just finished moving to our new home..which includes a Full woodshop for Brayden and I.. so we can create some great things. Kuksa's Are the first scheduled project. Then some fire steel handles etc etc.. We are very excited. Also have a woodland that starts right across the road from us with a stream.. Thanks for the Great video and ttys my friend. Cheers
Congrats on your new move Shawn as the new place sounds awesome esp with the new workshop. Do let me know how you get on with settling in and as always I sincerely appreciate your kind words ~Peace~
Nice technique and seeing the cedar stumps reminded me of when I used to work in a sawmill. I could tell what the wood was just by the smell of it when it was being sawn and when cedar or douglas fir came in it would fill the whole building with an intoxicating smell.
The only thing which rivaled that was when I was burning heather on a grouse moor (before they started using brush cutters to cut the square shapes out). Back in the day you had to patrol the sides of the burn and beat it with a long stick with rubber flap on the end to keep the burn straight and you always went home smelling like burnt honey - it was a shame to have a shower to wash that smell off.
Oh wow didn't realise you worked in a sawmill, must have learnt loads in that environment and handled some beautiful woods. Hope all is well your side of the country dude and that you're enjoying the sun ~Peace~
Very good. Thanks for both your efforts!
You are very kind Curt thank you ~Peace~
Nice laid back tutorial.
Thank you kindly my friend ~Peace~
Great video as always, sir!
Thank you kindly Chris! ~Peace~
Thanks for sharing. Making the "root stripper" was a great idea.
Wasn't it just, was the first time i've heard of one let alone see it in action ~Peace~
u could also get the bark of by rubbing it against a tree
Thanks Zed and Co awesome well Informed bushcraft education. have a great weekend buddy
Thank you bro! ~Peace~
you are a funny chap and a great presenter ,supa dupa subject matter..another cracking vid young Jedi
You the man Scott thank you :) ~Peace~
If you take a short stick , 12" or so , split most of the way. Wrap some cordage around the end ( unsplit part) This is where you hold it. Put the root in it and pull it through. With spruce root I use my thumbnail to finish peeling off the remaining root. Fresh root or soaked in hot water works best for peeling and late spring early summer is best ( for spruce ) . I've never done cedar , gonna give it a try.
Oh nice I appreciate the tip Tim thank you ~Peace~
very well done,he is a great teacher imho
Amen to that Steve, very humble guy too ~Peace~
Just stumbled across this channel from MCQ. Got some awesome long form content, love it!
A sincere pleasure to be connected and I appreciate your kind words too thank you ~Peace~
These videos are awesome Zed. Awesome series
Thank you kindly dude, making natural cordage is something i've wanted try for ages so glad I finally got round to learning it ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors well I'm learning with you Zed, much appreciated!
Thanks Zed. I learned a lot. :)
Thank you bro :) ~Peace~
At first I chuckled at digging stick, then I thought back to all the times I was digging with my hands and would just grab any old stick to help break the ground.
Thanks for watching Don ~Peace~
Tks for sharing your skills Manse 👍☺️. Zed more one excellent vid- always!. Tks for sharing. Crack on 👍
You are very kind Carlos thank you ~Peace~
I'm going to need more free time to try this out!!
lol me and you both, mind you it is one of the more 'easier' ways of making natural cordage compared to other techniques ~Peace~
Great video! :-)
Thank you kindly Michael :) ~Peace~
Nice video again gentlemen, i will try that stripping stick for willow shoots, to strip the green part off the bark. Thanks!
Thank you kindly Vince, indeed it's the first time i've heard of the bark stripping stick let alone see it in use. Let us know how you get on with the Willow shoots dude as i've yet to work with those properly ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors I have huge willow trees at my work that they almost cut down two years ago but left the stump about a meter high and now they are full off big shoots, i had to ask the director for the ok so now im able to use them. I will keep you updated!
excellent friend a great lesson, Now I'm looking for a place to build a shelter camp
Places are difficult to find in this country but one shouldn't stop looking, best of luck in doing so my man ~Peace~
Thank you, Zed,l hope l do to find a place for a shelter
zed you the man. love everything you do. promote yourself a bit more though cos you seem to be a platform for others x
Most definitely dude, guess it's just a confidence thing in my part and so hope to put myself out there more in coming videos. Appreciate your support dude! ~Peace~
great video! one day i hope to be as skilled as you! im still very much a novice bushcrafter! =) Cheers! John..
Me and you both John, always learning and a constant student ~Peace~
You can't beat putting your root into the grove, everything will burn its all a matter of temperature, Manse is very eloquent and erudite, I didn't mean any harm when I mentioned he might be your GP, just my Lancashire sense of humour - ATB
No offence taken at all Frank and appreciate your kind words young sir ~Peace~
Great stuff bro that bloke sure knows plenty. In NZ we hear da bark rather than see da bark. Sorry I could see a play on words regarding cedar bark. Have to amuse ourselves down under somehow, lol. Great vid anyway
Haha I see what you did there ;) ~Peace~
this guy makes R M look like a boy scout. amazing vid zed,
He's slimmer then RM too ;)) ~Peace~
LOL
might be easier to strip if ceedar roots were wet first. I usually put in water to soften the outer part. Easier to strip.
Ah nice I appreciate the heads up! ~Peace~
Does this work with all tree roots or are there specific roots that are best to use? Great video :)
Works well for Spruce and Cedar roots, other roots vary in their quality to be use as cordage ~Peace~
First!
Awesome ;) ~Peace~
