Natural Fiber for Rope/ Cordage

Recommended Posts

Not a huge suggestion here, but just one that I thought would be fitting for dayZ survivalists, and also very useful. Making natural rope/ cordage is pretty simple. Any strong fibrous tree bark, stems, roots, vines etc. will do the job. There are different techniques to make it strong and all you really want (but not need) is a knife.

I think currently we can make rope from animal guts but not chickens? I forget.  Anyways it would be cool if we could make rope for bows, traps, fishing poles etc from trees or bushes by searching the ground in forest areas with a knife (or similar) in hand, then crafting the fiber when found. That way, no animals would be harmed in the making of dayZ.

 

Edit: Also, if we can make rope from animal guts, maybe we should also be able to make rope from human guts...

I'm not sure if we would see a sling within the game.  The main thing of the video was to show off how cordage could be made from natural fibers.

Yeah, forget the slings. We need flamethrowers :D

I agree it would be great to have a couple of ways to make an improvised rope.

ooooh flamethrowers would be a cool idea...or some way we could flush out people from buildings without running in YOLO. Though i guess when the fix the throwing mechanic and flashbangs things might get a bit more interesting.
