    Woolly Rope Fraying

    So I bought a polyester rope (I think), which has a twisted 7-strand woolly core covered by a hair-like weaving.
    The problem I'm facing with it is that, when cut, the rope frays a lot.

    I tried...

    Buying a Whetstone

    So I'll be buying a whetstone, but I've never bought one before.
    I've been browsing some stores and I noticed that many of them are quite small -- 2.5 cm in width.

    Ah, after a week, it has gone back to its meandering state. I think I should just go ahead and buy some new cords.

    Straightening Mangled Cords

    I got some plastic cord (which I assume is polypropylene) that has been badly stored that when unravelled it tries to bend back to its mangled state.

    I want to practise knots but it's really...

    Thanks for the input.

    I'm sure the wood was dry.
    The firesteel is something I picked up online. It works quite well, though the striker is nonsense -- it is thin and doesn't scrap off a good...

    Feather Stick Problems

    I watched the Natural Bushcraft video for feather sticks and thought it was easy at first.

    Any advise on how to maintain and clean it? Most of the time, if it gets wet, I just drain it and wipe it dry.
    Am I handling it with enough care?

    I live in Malaysia, which is in South East Asia, so I probably doubt that.

    I was wondering if it is possible to navigate and orientate without a map but just a compass. Has anyone tried?

    I've browsed some shops for tarps; some of the tarps seem substandard and others have prices that made me choke.

    If I'm going for a cheap tarp, what should I be looking for?

    I have never tried a jungle hammock before -- it sounds like something I should add to my repertoire.

    Another thing: what do you guys think of those 'quick set-up' or 'automatic folding' tents?

    I broke my compass when I dropped it; it also broke my heart because I'm broke and can't get a new one anytime soon.
