How to Make Rope from Recycled Plastic
Recycle every plastic bottle (1-2 liter and 20 oz. bottles work best) and every plastic grocery bag that comes into your household.
Did you know that you can make extremely durable rope with these two items? This strong rope will make a great addition to any bug out bag!
Turning plastic bottles into durable rope can be accomplished using a wooden portable device, which you can make yourself!
