I agree with Outback. If you have dogbane it makes excellent cordage and it works quite easy.
Outback how do you prepare your nettles for eating? I suppose I could go to the cooking section and find a thread there.

BJ, there are lots of fancy recipes but I just pick and wash and steam or wilt them for 5 minutes or so and then a big pad of butter. I really like them with a nice deer chops and a couple of eggs in the morning. My wife sometimes cooks them in oil and a few spices, they all seem to be good. Bob
bjrogg:
Thanks Bob. My main concern was getting rid of the stinging part. If I understand correctly then just letting them wilt down cures that problem. I've avoided the stuff like the plague for the last 50 years. I still remember that feeling from the stinger. at least I think I do.lol

BJ, takes me back to my youth, fishing along the creeks with just a pair shorts an run into a patch of stinging nettles, didn't take long to lather up with some good creek mud to kinda ease the sting, :o I think we kinda got use to them after awhile. ;D Bob
bjrogg:
Yup outback that's the same cure we used.
