    Makes handy cordage. I've heard this called a withee. I have made it mostly from hazel, but also had success with young maple. I have been able to work through stiff parts where an offshoot branch comes out by using a smooth rock or a stick. I'll put the piece I'm working on a platform of flat wood or stone and gently tap the bark to break it loose from the inner fibers. This should be a common topic on bushcraft and survival channels, but nobody talks about it. Thanks for sharing it, Felix!

    I have never seen a video of yours that was a waste of time... it's all very useful, and necessary for good purpose! This one addresses a very serious need for bushcrafters, and the information is both simple, yet very valuable. There are many bushcrafting channels that I subscribe to, but yours has LONG been (and continues to be!) my topmost favourite! Thank you for this! 🙂👍

    Outstanding!!!! So many bushcrafters use paracord but few show how to use natural cordage. Buy the way TA Outdoors mentioned you in one of his videos. This is the third bushcrafter that has mentioned you. You are ver popular around the bushcraft and survival community. Thank you teacher. Respect from Florida US 🌴

    Thanks for the technique Felix, I always loved making handmade ropes but I just couldn't get the materials I needed from the tree twigs because they would just split when I try to bend them. This little trick is perfect for extracting the fiber out of them for more complex ropes. Thanks a bunch!
