Binder Twine

It is just like duct tape cant do without it. I fix fences with it if it is broken by the moose or deer. Quick fix and it is always in my pocket. Here I keep getting reminded it is NOW bailer Twine.

Stockwhip crackers

I use baling twine to make stockwhip crackers, in replacement of horsehair or cotton. They last much longer than other alternatives.

hay elevator

The hay company got to my barn without a belt to run the conveyor and motor to get my hay in the loft. The guys were going to head down to the local auto parts store to get one that might fit. I braided 3 strands of twine together and made a belt. A few adjustments and 5 tons of hay got put in the loft!

Baler Twine

As a child I had to spend hours doing this, but was so proud. Plait, always keeping 3 lengths different so you can keep adding more. Then keep going!!! Finally you can sew together whirls, loops whatever takes your fancy; and at the end you will have a hard wearing door mat that will last years :)

DEER-DOG LEADS.

I have used binder-twin to lead and restrain deer-dogs when makeing a "deer-drive. you can hold the dogs back and run with them up the mountain untill you get 'winded', usually you can hear your own heart pounding in your ears by this time. Then you simply take your hunting knive and cut the 'binder-twine and let the dogs run after the deer, while you wait to get a shot at the deer.
