Why do they make it when it's wet because it goes weird when it dries

Thanks for sharing. Good to know this kind of stuff. A little different than other videos of the same information and I suppose better in away than the others I've seen. I might go out and try to make a bow, string and arrows just to see if I can make them

I liked everything about this, but in particular I liked the use of the word "woodcraft" at the end. In this country we have woods and woodcraft is what we can practice.

Finally a fellow British survivalist!

You can also soak them in water, like a stream or pond, overnight or for a few hours to neutralize the stinging stuff.

Great explanation, thanks. Kids should have part of their education in the woods, put it in the National Curriculum!

Grinstopher that’s fascinating thank you for sharing – I had heard something about this before but not in such detail xx

My Grandad used to grasp nettles and strip them like that, then laugh when I tried to do it and stung myself !

Thank you. Brilliant.

It's called Forest School and it's slowly being incorporated into the National Curriculum, especially at Primary and some secondary levels.
