Video Transcription

it's mentioned in a survival work on some quarters today now going to move on to the four ply wrap stay tuned okay so for four ply this version of four apply you just go slightly off-center go to like stay here trying to talk kinks now you have to turn the opposite direction that you did when you made this two-ply cordage to begin with okay so I'm just taking to play quarters I've already made bring a kink into it if it's cordage as if it's a beginning threat of cordage shooting now here's the difference whatever way you originally turn this like safety turned it clockwise then you want about your business night night to turn it counterclockwise so I want counterclockwise on this and I need to turn it clockwise okay instead of going over now I'm going to go under so everything is just exactly backwards okay

everything's exactly the opposite okay as you can see I already have some quarters going here that's four ply just I'm just going clockwise all right i'm reaching up got on the other side swapping their positions okay real simple it's like before okay so I'm just pinching it off clockwise okay I reach up grab it my finger I turn it over pinch it again okay pinch it again so by doing that you could rid of warp like orders and set a tube line so I used to body begin with real simple stuff so I'm going to go a little bit more until i get to wanting you to splice which isn't going to be too long okay so now I've got in place where I need to put a splice so now when I splice it I just splice it with a two-ply cordage because this 4 ply is being made up of two two plies right this was a single to play that I doubled back on itself by doing that instead of having a single strand a single braid a single thread on each side I had to because it was originally a two-ply so that means two and two is four this is a 4 ply cordage now so each side is too so now I need to take another two ply piece of cordage that I made and use that as my piece of thread in so again I'm gonna put it right in the middle just like I did before okay I'm going to wrap it around the piece that I want it to work itself into I'm continue business as usual okay so forward right underneath fold the reason why I'm doing the opposite now forward underneath for underneath ok

so now

pull from you then you can see this place hang in there so here's the end of the cordage over here and thus place is back here all right okay this is my 4 ply go into here all right so here's a 2 pie spice already put in we're now this side needs a splice as well so I just mopped up some two-ply cordage real quick so I'm going to lay that right in the middle same as before splice there again you have to turn the opposite direction as when you made your original to fly so this is walk was then I go underneath my other strand that I'm working on I was making to play i was going going counterclockwise i was going over so if you're going to use a piece of cordage turn into thicker cordage you have to make sure you go opposite its twists or else it will just unravel itself as you doing all right so is my four ply cordage sure you can see it's it's pretty beefy stuff i can get my camera and you go focus for you for plies no joke get some power alright thanks for joining me today for this full I natural cordage obviously it has four times the strength as its initial single thread so it's much stronger appreciate your views come to you support seen the next one take care
