How to make cordage from an empty 2 liter bottle

Man... I guess I really am that stupid.
I guess it's one of those things I just have to see in action. Thanks for the effort BB! Some of us I guess just really are that slow.

What Creek does is cool because he uses what is available to him in the woods, a knife, a saw and a sapling.

But he should have creditted Nyeznik Schmuckfacerroff, who did it a year ago on u-tube. (Sorry dude, but I don't read Russian ).
Also credit ole Nyeznik for adding English subtitles and showing some uses. He also shows the value of a heat gun to make strong lashings. SJ...check out this guy's axe!

His jig he made out of a sapling stump and his knife is cool, sure, but what struck me was just the idea of cutting a plastic bottle into strips of "cordage" to use like twine or string. I never thought of using strips of plastic for tying stuff.

I agree, and you can get really long pieces of cordage to work with.
You get a good look at how long a strand you can get with Nyeznik's green bottle.

How do these people come up with this stuff

Probably some folks in poor countries. I spent several years in the Phillipines, and those guys could make due with anything!
