Making Kudzu Cordage for a Bow Drill Bowstring

I like it when video ideas present themselves to me like in my last 3 videos. This morning, I walked right up on all these accessible Kudzu vines and immediately knew that my next video would be about reverse wrapped cordage and a Bow Drill Friction Fire. And, that we'll get to use the Fatwood Bearing Block from yesterday's video again.
  My friend Red Shadow from River Valley Survival and Bushcraft Channel has a great Kudzu Processing Video. I needed to refresh my memory on the process. Although he doesn't make videos anymore, I still encourage you to check him out. He has lots of videos about primitive techniques... basket weaving, on the spot hand drill, making cordage, etc. (LINK Below)
  So, in a nutshell...  I harvest some Kudzu Vine, process it down into strips, reverse wrap it into cordage, brag on my practice bow (Practice Bow Build Video in LINK Below), make a Bow Drill Friction fire with the Kudzu Cordage - Privet set - fatwood bearing block - and a straw tinder bundle.
  Please SUBSCRIBE at the end of the video. Thanks!
