Long thin fibers
El Destructo:
I have used Yucca Fibers....you take a leaf off the Yucca...bend the Tip over and over till it breaks....then pull it towards the bottom of the Leaf....and you get a Needle...with a piece of Yucca Thread...the Locals here used to use it to sew Buckskins and rawhide..... I have had good luck with it for Hafting and Sewing and even used it to serve a String for a Bow once....this stuff is really tough
grantmac:
Nettle works awesome. Just cut it now and let it dry really good. Then you brush the stingers off and peel the fibers away from the pith. Makes really great binding and cordage.
Cheers,
Grant

El Destructo, Yucca is a awesome plant i once made a bow string outa yucca , also fishing line, the stalks are good for friction fire. This is for you DTiller, you can even make sope from the roots... BearGrass is one of my favorite plants.

recurve shooter:
try palmeto leaves. i think it would rot eventually though. :-\ good survival cordage anyway. :)
