The 50' Rope - how to make it yourself

[Admin Pete]

Growing up on the farm, we made home-made rope, baling twine was the preferred starting material when it was available, but most any kind of twine will work. We made ours in both 50' and 100' lengths. We usually made a three strand rope using baling twine, although I remember once when we used three three strand ropes to combine into one nine strand rope.

Great post, PD. I too have made my own rope and it has been at least 40 years since I last made some. It is a fun thing to do, especially with kids.

Oh how cool, I would love to see that done!

My players would be in bad shape if they did not carry plenty of rope with them.
