You know I had to click on the link in deedeedeegee's name. At work. Good times for everyone!! Scout, I'd like to hear about making nettle cordage on a larger scale than I've done. I've made short lengths, mostly just to teach folks how it's done. I have a bunch of fireweed and nettle and I'm thinking of trying to process it the way they used to process flax into linen (adds a lot more steps, but makes a way softer finished project). Basically, you rot it slightly so that the inner bark falls away from the outer fibers really easily and then you comb the fibers a bunch. wow, that was fun!

I'll do another in a few months instead, giving myself plenty of time to market that shit. It’s my fault for trying to pull it together in 3 weeks.

So good to know you live so close...walking that edge of urbia and sylvatica. And also, fuck everyone in Portland for not signing up for <i>Rewild 101</i>. Wait a second, that might actually get ’em to come. ;) Welcome back officially to Portland, Herr Scout. So good to know you live so close…walking that edge of urbia and sylvatica.
