    I have been reverse-wrapping some hemp to make cordage, and now I've got a couple feet of it, but have no idea what to do with it now that I have so much. I started w/out really thinking about what I was gonna do w/ it (although it was fun making so much). I was hoping someone here may have a few suggestions.

    cordage is pretty much rope that is hand twisted usually out of hemp, or properly prepared dog'sbane or cat-tails. To make it, you take a peice of whatever you're making it out of and fold it in half. Ten you twist one peice one way, and wrap both peices the other way. If you do this tightly enough you get a strong bit of cordage. It takes quite a while but you can make it whilst doing pretty much anything!

    Get a knife and cut it into several pieces. Soak them in blood and nail them to your neighbors doors.

    First off: I hope you weren't responding to ihavethreeguns. secondly:Wtf!?Where am I gonna get enough blood to do that!? I'm certainly not going to do it to myself, and if someone else is gonna give, i'd rather they gave it to the hospital! Also my neighbors!? I like my neighbors!Also, yeah it is pretty cool stuff. Have any suggestions other than sadistic weird stuff that includes wating blood and/or masocism?
