Materials Needed to Weave Fishing nets:
Find Suitable Cordage or Net Weaving Material
In a survival situation, you might not have access to pre-made cord or fishing line, but there are natural and improvised options:
- Vines: Look for strong, flexible vines that can be stripped down and twisted together for extra strength.
- Bark strips: From trees like willow or cedar, which are strong and flexible.
- Plant fibers: You can twist plant fibers, such as those from yucca or nettle, to create cordage.
- Plastic bags: If you have access to discarded plastic, cut the bags into long strips and braid them into cords.
Twist and braid your chosen material into strong lengths of cord. The stronger the material, the more effective your net will be.
Set Up Anchor Points for your DIY Fishing Net
- Trees: Tie your cord between two trees to form a taut line.
- Stakes: Drive two stakes into the ground and stretch the line between them.
Make sure your anchor points are far enough apart to match the width of your desired net size.
Find two anchor points to set up the top of your net. These can be:
Create the Topline
The topline is the upper support for your net:
- Tie off the cord: Securely tie one end of your cord to one anchor point and stretch it tightly across to the other anchor point.
- Ensure tension: Make sure the line is taut, as this will keep the net stable while you work.
Weave the First Row
Weave the Following Rows
- Tie the next row: For the second row, tie your cord through the bottom of the first row’s loops. This creates the next layer of mesh.
- Maintain spacing: Use the gauge to keep your mesh even and consistent.
- Continue weaving: Repeat this process, attaching new rows below the previous ones until your net reaches the desired length.
Finish the Bottomline
Add Weights or Floats
For better control and effectiveness in the water, you can add:
- Weights: Tie small stones or heavy objects along the bottomline to help the net sink.
- Floats: Attach pieces of cork, wood, or foam to the topline to keep it afloat in the water.
