The Most Easily Cracking Whip I've Ever Built | Tapered Twist vs Conventional Fall Hitch

Welcome back, friends! In this video, we'll build a 10ft, 3 bellied, 20-plait bullwhip with a tapered twist at the end of the thong. This was the first time that I've made a whip like this. It was a great experience, and I encourage you to give it a try. We'll also discuss the pros & cons of a tapered twist vs. a standard fall hitch.
