Bushcraft Bootcamp: Yucca Cordage Demo
Sunday, Jul 6, 2025 12 PM to 2 PM
Hard Labor Creek State Park - Rutledge, GA
Before you could get fishing line and nylon rope from the store, people had to make their own cordage from natural materials found in the woods. One of the materials used was yucca leaves. By the porch of the Park Office, a ranger will be doing a demonstration on how to make natural rope from yucca. You'll learn, it's not as easy as it looks! $5 parking. 706-557-3001.
