Hi John, thanks once again for sharing a good idea. It's one that I can't see a old fogey like me ever using. I am never without a suitable supply of various cordage and if I want to make or put up something to stay I will always use natural cordage that will rot away over time. I will say that I have seen various types of "jig" to do this and the one you show is the most practical and possible if you are in the need to use plastic cordage. Keep up the great work John the pom Ps the wife says that she can't see me playing ( cheeky bugger) trying to do that one. I will now just to prove her wrong ha ha
😄cheers John. I guess that is the difference between bushcraft and survival. In bushcraft we take the 5 C's with us. In Survial we may need to make what we need. Natural cordage is very time consuming to make.

He showed a great view of the jig at 0:18, and then right after you can see where he pokes the knife through both sides to cut at the base of the triangle formed between the gap in the "V" of the cap and the blade. 👌
The gap in the cap determines the width of the cut plastic, poke it through further out toward the edge of the cap on both sides and you will get wider cordage, poke it through both sides closer to the center to get thinner cordage.
I wouldn't trust it during the summer & winter, except perhaps in extreme emergencies for brief periods. When I live, the Mojave Desert, light weight plastic doesn't fare well. By the time the summers over, so are you camping chairs, if you follow me.
I was thinking "did you poke yourself on a previous recording?" from the thumb bandage; then seconds later I saw why he had that on.😅 Everything has a purpose in the bush 👍👍
That lid trick is legendary and highly resourceful ive never seen that done and always wondered how you could get consistant width cordage out of a bottle without a jig of some sort
Should have poked the holes in the cap before folding it so you don't have to cut your thumb and have to put electric tape over the failing Band-aid.... 😂

Never seen it done with the lid. That's super cool. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
That lid trick is slick
He has his thumb taped up with electrical tape.....this guy is my spirit animal
😆 cheers
As an electrician, I condone this message
The bottle cap jig is very ingenious, awesome tip
Glad you like it
Also, if you heat it over a fire it shrinks and tightens up your joints.
I'll try that out, cheers

Couldn’t see the mechanism you created in the cap. Could you post a better view please. Love your content.

wow!
Great 👍
I’ll give it a try
Let me know how you go mate.
Thx bro
Nice video!!!

Holy shit…… this is so convenient
Amazing video! Trash is everywhere, and can be useful.
Yes indeed
Na primeira tentativa a furar a tampa da garrafa fugiu-lhe a faca para o dedo😅
Unrelated injury. I hit it with a hammer
Now thats real recycling
😁
“When I first tried this for the camera, I cut my bloody finger! Good job I had duct tape eh?”
Haha. Unrelated injury. Smacked it with a hammer.

Probably OK for a make shift overnight shelter though. Even paracord will break down in extreme conditions. It is also made of plastics.

Cheers mate. I'd like full credit but I've seen something similar before and just modified it to suit me.
It take so long to build the house like that, and what's the wife going to think?

Or just get a lace maker and keep it in your first aid kit.
Great idea 💡
What is a lace maker
@@richiespinelli5605 used in leather work to make thin straps, or lace
@@OutdoorAcademyAustraliathank you!
Crikey, too right!👍👍👍
wow nc👌
Cheers.
Wow❤
Careful with that knife, looks like your fingernails are trying to tell you something..😕
All unrelated injuries lol.

Yep. You need to be versatile.

I know right
That's not going anywhere! It's only true when you say it out loud
