How to Get a Needle and Thread in the Wild
If you have torn clothes or a bad gash in desert, this article is for you.
[edit] Steps
- Find an agave cactus.
- Find where the top spike ends and the green begins
- Bite this part of the cactus while pulling back with your neck.
- Once you hear a snap, keep pulling until all of the string is out.
- If the point is too sharp/large/wide, you can grind it down on a file or a rock
[edit] Tips
- If you already have a needle, you can cut off the agave leaf, and smash it between two rocks, then take the fiber and wash all the gunk off of it.
