Taproom Talks: Plant and Tree Cordage

Learn one of the most fundamental skills in wilderness survival: making cordage. Cordage binds all life together and without it our ancestors couldn’t have lash built the tools necessary for survival.

Learn to use different natural materials, from plant fibers to various barks to create supple and strong rope, and the vital ways you’ll need it in survival situations.
