Coconut Cordage Madness

So I made some cordage last night out of the fibres off a coconut husk. Yeah, I know, coconuts aren't exactly native to Ontario, but you gotta play the cards you're dealt. I kind of rushed through it but it turned out OK in the end.

There are a lot of good videos available on cordage making. I used a method I learned in the book Ultimate guide to wilderness living by John and Geri McPherson. I'd like to add something from there that doesn't really come out in the videos I've seen. If you're dealing with shorter fibres, fold it over in a 2:1 ratio (so 2/3 of the bundle to the left and 1/3 to the right) and proceed as usual. When the short side starts to run out, substitute in the next bundle and continue. This allows you to make cordage that is as long as you want, regardless of the length of your fibres.
