Dogbane Cordage?????

[abo4ster]

HD, I never tried it as a tinder. I think you are right, it should work - let us know if you try. If I still have a stalk under my truck tool box I will give it a shot too.

Are you going to PWYP? If so, I will hook you up with some cordage stuff I am bringing.

No no PWYP.

I can never go because March thru June is my kidding season and in general what I do during that time is way too labor intensive and complicated to ask anyone else to do.

I can usually only start going on trips after June when they are weaned and all the farmsitter has to do is come in feed and milk the goats.

I pick my dogbane dry, but when I am ready to make cordage I always wet the fibers. They seem to wrap much tighter and lock in place much better. You also get a smoother cordage.

We have a pet goat. She thinks she's a dog though, she hangs out with out two pitt bulls. At first they tried to mess with her, but soon found out about horns. Any tips on keeping her from jumping up on my car? Mac
