I really appreciate your help. refreshing is the best way to learn

[@ulnoohiker8983]

I never get tired of watching knot videos, when you are not using them much, you tend to forget. Thanks for the refresh.

[@ghuber480]

I used to work with Boy Scouts. I insisted they get two merit badges. Wilderness survival and Pioneering. Basically what you teach. My motto with them was “the more you know, the less you have to carry”. Thanks for what you do.

[@eriktaylor5704]

I am a scoutmaster and I insist my scouts earn wilderness survival, pioneering, fishing, and orienteering. They aren’t required for Eagle Scout, but they should be for the very reason of self reliance.

[@mentalneil]

In the UK we have another name for the square knot, we call it a reef knot, and every boy scout carries this knot on the scout membership badge on their uniform

[@jasonhopson7280]

This was "knot" the video we were expecting, but its the video we needed ! Lol. Great lineup, this is getting saved !

[@James-tz4cp]

Great refresher video. Lots of folks can learn from this if they'll only try and practice. My dad was in the navy during WW II and taught most of these to me when I was a lot younger. Done right, these can be a life saver.

[@garybraches9936]

I was a Boy Scout when I was 12. I learned these knots but never owned them. I credit you and your videos for now owning these knots. Your instructional ability is second to none, and watching your videos has ingrained this knowledge into my 66yo brain. And for that, I thank you.

[@Citizen-pg8eu]

If the corner grommet of your tarp fails, a sheet bend works great !

[@gregoryknox4444]

THANKS FOR POSTING WITH EXCELLENT DOCUMENTATION.

[@calgal-vp6rm]

I never get tired of knot instructions. Thx 😊 really like the long close up view of the knot 🪢. Often front and back side. 👍

[@NaomiH.]

Love the new frequency of videos and the content is always useful to know! ❤

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Excellent review of important knots. Thanks!

[@michelep1130]

Corp. You take it a step above! Teaching the knot and an application for it..thank you so much.

[@sethdunlap9868]

I appreciate that you held one end of the rope up when tying the bowline. Brought back Boy Scout memories of, "the rabbit comes out of it's hole. Around the tree..." 👍

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

An ancient skill that sea going men used every day. Examples of this can be found dating back over thousands of years. Today however, you would be lucky to find someone who can tie their shoes properly. Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@sylvainrey916]

I love those skills videos! Now I need to practice out those knots.

[@lieutenant146]

We used to use the bowline to tie a belay for rappelling/rescue. The figure 8 follow through is now the favorite. The bowline is still used for lifting/hauling tools when needed.

[@randymartin5521]

Since I was a kid I've always been a knot guy. Ratchet straps? I keep a few in my pickup but rarely use them, I find rope a lot easier to work with and it's cheaper. Only 4 tie downs in my truck bed, in each corner, with rope, I created a tie down system with loops every 2 +/- feet and threaded through the corner tie down points, all the way around the bed. I've used rope/cord to tie ridge and guy lines, no need for fancy tensioners when a taut line hitch works just fine. Half hitch, slip knot, bowline, alpine butterfly and trucker's hitch are all easy to tie and pretty much take care of any situation. I know others but those are the ones I use most often. I keep a short segment of paracord lying around and when I'm sitting and watching TV or watching KZbin videos, I'll practice different knots just to help with muscle memory.

[@OldManSurvival]

Thank you for showing the sheep bend and the double sheep bend! It’s easy when broken down like that!

[@rabidbadger3855]

I'm such a knot dunce, I'm going to force myself to watch this video over and over (with plenty of cordage on hand) and practice until I get all five of these down. I predict I'll be proficient in about five years.

[@Sirilere]

Nice review! How about doing one of these videos on working with a carabiner? Carabiners aren't just for climbing on rockfaces or repelling out of helicopters. 😁

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

You'd be surprised how many people can't tie a bowland knot. I use it plus the fisherman's knot to tie mule tape together to pull wire thru conduit. Thank you for making this for us. I appreciate it.

[@ezracarson5427]

Awesome presentation and instruction as usual, keep it up !

[@lucyalderman422]

I have a note pad on my phone for reference videos and have placed this one on it for future reference thanks

[@maximomaximo9060]

Imma watch it, save it, share it, bookmark it, watch it again, and forget everything and watch it again.

[@elisadelaurenti2516]

Thank You very much for this video. I need to practice these. I've just been "tying things up" without understanding how to use the knots I've been tying. Knowing about different ropes and cords would be helpful, too. I used boating rope to secure my belongings on my suv cargo rack and everything loosened up on me on a 70mph mountain highway. Boating rope is for boating. Not securing things.

[@stephenbradley801]

Shawn, I appreciate your levelheaded to the point non-convoluted way to teach thank you

[@mikeremski2102]

Knots. Simple things but the right one is priceless. My experience has been master a few knots instead of "knowing a lot". These five, priceless. Thanks

[@gimponatrip425]

Thank you for this great video very educational we need more videos like this

[@johnjentzer1863]

Finally, the Arbor Knot.

[@davidwilliams1383]

AKA the butchers knot as well?

[@twospooked]

I sooooo appreciate the time you take in making your knot videos. Always a good angle and close enough to actually see what you’re doing without your hand or fingers ever getting in the way. Simply the best out there!

[@edwardknudsen4806]

Can't go wrong keeping it simple. Great vid.

[@recall5811]

most will glaze over and refuse to watch

[@stevewood9477]

Great knot information in this one. Well don sir.

[@bsd9230]

🎉🎉been waiting for this important information on important knots. My Dad was an expert knot guy learned as a kid and in military. I forgot or never learned them. Bless you sir! Your fingers are golden.🎉🎉

[@rockyrossini4419]

thanks for this video. great job A.F.

[@Ah022]

Now these are the vids I love. I know you can only do this stuff so much before it ends up being the same shit over and over but it’s very entertaining for me. You’re a good teacher especially when it comes to knots. Your stuff always clicks for me when others don’t.

[@vinniysavoy1085]

Just the knots I’ve been looking for.

[@ArcanusLibero]

Thanks for the lesson. You got Carpenters thumb. You need to soak it incider.

[@mikelaney3026]

Just fantastic young man! I took the tiniest new drill bit and build a small small hole in my thumbnail and let the blood out of it, it kept the thumbnail from falling off God bless you and yours and God bless the USA

[@ClintonWallace-i3y]

Shawn, this video was KNOT only AmAzInG but AWESOME AF!!!

[@hogkillerjp]

great instructions, looking forward to trying all of these ideas, thanks..

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Love, love, love this! Thanks

[@georgegutierrez7115]

Thank you, sir! Love this video. Great tips and recommendations on how to actually use the knots. Bravo, sir!

[@TheDarkelvenangel]

Excellent to the point video. I have your older video bookmarked for knots now this one is going right with it. Great resource thank you.

[@davidlanders2671]

I really like your idea of not just tying, but using the knots. I also like and use a clove hitch, easy to tie and has many uses.

[@thx5001]

I could watch you tie knots all day. Now I use Tarp shelter building to teach knots to Scouts - e.g. your Free-Standing Wedge Shelter worked out nicely.

[@davidwatsonii9469]

GOOD KNOTS TO KNOW, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CHANNEL

[@shadowlord5574]

Always something interesting to learn 👍👍👍👍👍

[@SniperTrader7733]

Best video yet. 5 in 1. It is saved in my watchlist

[@glennkirchens7970]

Thanx!! You did good

[@chcagr]

Thank you Shawn. I know those knots, but the application info was useful.

[@mattchaffin1133]

Thank you for the lesson.

[@stevemilcoffmilcoff4655]

Good vidio I liked that you showed practical applications of the knotts

[@darrenkeaton]

Love these vids... keepem comin brother

[@phyllisclark3896]

Thanks Corporal. Love the knot videos ❤️❤️❤️🫡

[@BreakingBranches78]

You've been getting these out every day! That's awesome! That red and blue one, it's funny I learned it for knitting.

[@johnmeloche6569]

Thanks for the video it ties in stuff from previous videos

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

The second way you tie the bowline knot is the way I most commonly always tie a bowline at the end of a rope I've used them for emergency belts along with the same kind of idea behind the Ridgeline system tie a bowline at the end run it through then tie the slip like you're doing a Ridgeline

[@ndvancouveroutdoors5093]

I sat watching this video and other reference videos to get the arbor and bowline knots down. I had the reef knot down since childhood and was using it to attach cordage together instead of a fishermans knot. I had been using the fisherman's knot for creating Prusiks for my Ridgeline. The Bowline practice also improved my Ridgeline since I was using an unknown knot. I have started using the arbor knot now in my room like a zip tie and once tight have been able to tie the ends together like shoelaces to keep electrical cords off the ground. I have a fire ant infestation in the walls of my room coming from the piping system and need to keep all the cords off the ground. It's like living outside in a building. If it gets worse I may need to evacuate. Thanks for helping me get the arbor and bowline knots as well as other knots. I haven't got the fifth one yet. I wasn't using the reef knot right either and may move to the fisherman's knot on my fragmented Ridgeline.

[@Gryphon_Hawke]

Good refresher.

[@MrDJSkeptik]

I use sheet bends for line hauling, not much else. Their ease of untying is key. Def useful to hitch the corner of a tarp or piece of fabric.

[@peilethan]

well. don't forget. the square not is designed for joining two ropes of the same diameter as well. the fishermans knot however, is just a stronger connection.

[@muskyman1018]

Nice thing about a bowline knot is the relative ease in which you can untie it.

[@scrapperstacker8629]

One of my favorite knots for going around an object is a figure 8 retrace.

[@rossluxurytimepieces]

I love the knot videos. As always great information

[@beerdrinker6452]

Always Outstanding AF.

[@mickwatson2177]

Very informative as usual. I am going to master those and their applications. Cheers mate 👍🐕🤠🇦🇺

[@jimcooksey812]

Thanks for the midweek! See you Sunday!

[@donaldlembo1263]

Fantastic tutorial, Thank You

[@NewHampshireJack]

A-1 instruction, I can envision many wonderful hours with our younguns practicing these knot skills and their application.

[@taurota1554]

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@ddttrrb72]

I still use the taut line hitch. Haven't figured out the little tent tighteners, but the hitch works.

[@barryerdman6285]

I am of the opinion that you are among the best teachers of knot tying. You have incredible poise in front of the camera. Your ability to converse without having to edit ums and ahs … of course maybe I’m wrong and you’re magical at editing. 😅

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Corporal

[@RichardYates-z3b]

Great video. I followed along with my own rope. Takes me back to my Cub and Scout days. Don't forget the Clove Hitch, a highly adaptable knot. My favourite is the Highwayman's Hitch.

[@mrfirstime5750]

Finally showing the best

[@DonnaParrillo-gp6oq]

You can never have enough of these videos The new content is spot on

[@sharonmccomas4173]

Thank you so much for sharing so many things with us.

[@cakiepyunyuru112]

Thank you for the perfect tutorial video as always Corp!

[@sidneezingara1976]

This is timely! Was just thinking that I need to review my knots

[@cyclonasaurusrex1525]

Sitting here staring at the bowline I just learned to tie and thinking, “Now what?” Thank you!!!

[@williammccaslin8527]

I see your still using " BLUE COLLAR NAIL POLISH " , nice shade of black I mite add, LMAO. THX FOR THE VID CORPORAL

[@tg1cent765]

I always love your instruction.

[@terrycheek4097]

Glad to see your thumb is healing

[@sylvainrey916]

Love this knots series, I finally learned how to tie essential bushcraft knots, thanks a lot!

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great video, Corporal. I definitely need to learn those knots. Very helpful. Thank you.

[@davidwright5580]

Another killer video as always

[@JasDhanjal-hz3nl]

Great vid 👍

[@czmg22]

Thanks Corporal 😊

[@deannacalef3513]

Knots are fun. 🎉

[@therulesaredifferent8280]

Great vid

[@trevorday7979]

Still loving your most informative vids CPL. Talk about practical applications, I’ve used the bowline around myself and bushcraft zip tie around hocks of cows struck on track by trains to remove them when we can’t get a vehicle in! Unfortunate life of a train driver in the remote areas of Australia. My colleagues think I’m a guru, but it’s all because of your education and sharing of information. Thanks again CPL for all you do! Real quality for real life applications on top of my bushcraft. 👍🏼🤝 🇦🇺

[@josephwallace1938]

Great information as usual. With all knowledge if you don't use it you'll lose it. So thanks for subject of this midweek video. Catch you Sunday

[@smittymoo]

great video. Keep up the great work.

[@vincentc6919]

We teach the EDGE method in Scouts…your Educate was good, your “Demonstrate” was 50% …your “Guide” was 50% and unless we were there we couldn’t “Enable” or watch the person do it…

[@YotaguyJosh]

Thank you ✌️
