Hi,
Can anyone recommend a book for making twine / rope. I'd really like one that starts from first principles i.e. how to gather / soak the twine (which-elm inner bark, nettles, lime bark, etc.) and then moves on to show the different ways to make twine / rope.
I'd also like any recomendations for a book on knots, nothing too advanced, just the basic ones for setting up tarps, tieing poles together, etc.
Thanks,
Piers
P.S. Just come back from 5 day 'Native paths' course with Backwoods Survival School (Patrick McGlinchey) in Scottland. Excellent course!, knackering, but very good indeed.
