This technique can be used to make natural cordage or to increase the strength of cordage you already have like bankline or twine.

Here's an instructional video

I tried it with some Bahaia grass stems while I was burning the trash. Worked pretty good. Next time I will find better material but this was at hand and worked well. The splices weren't hard to do, I used 4 pieces to make this string. Took about 10 mins to make this much:
