Whips of one sort or another have been around for centuries where the predominant material used in their construction was leather. Not so now, before the handling and use of leather left whip making in the domain of those skilled with such materials but the humble nylon Paracord now enables anyone with the will and determination to make their own robust, strong whip at a fraction of the price of a leather one. If you are such a person, then read within these pages and learn how to make one, or all three of the whips covered in this manual.

Using over 130 Black and White photos, you are taken through the basic processes of leather carving, stamping while making a quiver and a belt. Plus the use of rawhide and leather lace for braiding and fid work - includes instructions for two pineapple knots.

You never know what's around the next corner and if I hadn't been inquisitive enough to find out, I wouldn't have experienced many of the sights and sounds beyond my horizon that I've seen while creating this book. Such as the realization of hearing the sound of nothing amongst the giants of Norway, or falling asleep to the singing of Maori in New Zealand nor (especially nice for a truck driver like me) sitting 10,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada's early in the morning drinking my coffee without the sight of a single person or vehicle, although this was the case during most of my wilderness trips. Includes 80 photos of the locations in: Yosemite national park, The Adirondacks, Scottish Highlands, Austria, Norway and New Zealand.
