something that I found to work (if you're wearing the right shoes) is to to step on the nettle so that the bridge of your shoe is on the nettle and then pull the nettle through, I found it worked for me and took most of the leaves off. If you can make any sense of what i've just said, i would be impressed.

You can remove the stings with bare hands without being stung it just needs bravery and experience but keep dockens to hand.
I'm getting the hang of it now, I've made a small strip of cord, but you guys are much better
Well done chief, once you've made 10 metres you should be an expert.
I fell through a greenhouse roof once and landed in a forest of nettles
Hey guys
I’ve got to say I am most impressed with the cordage, never used the stuff before but it looks pretty good, What’s the braking strain like ? Would it be ok on a bow do you think? Any primitive archers on here?
Great work.
