Economy of motion. In times of leisure, it saves time. In hard times, it saves stress.

[@57WillysCJ]

Well choreographed, like a Jackie Chan scene. This type of thinking is good for every job. You aren't running around looking for tools. I even do it with my tent. If I haven't used it in 6 or 7 months which is not unusual here, I set it up a couple of times before heading out. I do it for fishing as well, take what I need and if in my canoe then set it where I can lay hand to it. Heck I even do it if I stay at a motel. Lost a really good pair of shoes by not lining everything up to go. I should add if you need hot beverages in the morning make up a thermos the night before.

Great information. I admit, I've done lots of "walking".

[@figtreeprophecy]

My tune that plays in my head during camp breakdown is System of a Down...Toxicity ( disorder, disorder, disorder .) ..lol only half joking! 😅 I totally get it..military precision is key to survival in many circumstances, good choreography is also a fun way to do the do! ( i refrain from calling it a job😂)

[@hiramhaji7813]

[@woodrowbrimm2805]

Simple and Common Sense yet most people don't think about it right away.

[@seansampson9587]

Good stuff blackie. You're quite the dancer. I guess we call this one "dancing with the woods"

[@BradW.]

Dances with Silver Wolves

[@oldminer5387]

Good method Blackie, thank you. I think this will help me not to forget something like a tent stake.

[@tomritter493]

[@earlshaner4441]

Excellent demonstration of efficiency!

[@DavidPyro]

These advanced lessons are fantastic. I think most of your viewers are past the beginner stage, and looking for more content like this. I hope you have 100 Advnaced Woodscraft Lessons, cause Im soaking them up like a sponge.

[@kennethwilson8633]

Choreography only works if you practice a lot…more than 20 yrs militarily service has shown me that…morning coffee drinkers can make it at night and put it in a thermos to drink on the go don’t know how many times I had to bleach out my canteen but it works too…Have fun stay safe.

[@haroldmiller6853]

Great vid thank you for sharing your knowledge of camp craft.

[@chadsharp1303]

Good Job, Blackie

[@Wojtek7060]

Blackie, is there any chance for another Grey Ghost video? Stealth series was great. But it was more about camping

[@rossrossier935]

Thanx Blackie great video 👍!

[@michaelnasser8697]

This is totally off topic, but it came to me while watching this so I thought I’d throw it out there. Could you not use a large bed sheet soaked in water as your “tarp” in hot weather for evaporative cooling? As long as it doesn’t rain, of course, lol. I remember reading at some point how our grandparents and great grandparents would hang a wet bedsheet in an open outside door and another window or door on the opposite side of the house. The wind/draft would then blow the cool air through the house. I haven’t personally tried it, but may be worth considering during how weather, if you had a breeze. Just a thought.

[@kylewilkinson6975]

I like you over explaining things for us that don't get it all in one quick tutorial. Watched Dave C. Do his king of the ridgeline and got stuck with the two half hitches and how to set it up for quick release. I replayed half dozen times. But once i got it, good to go. You get a bit long winded but i dont get lost with your instructions. Thanks. You've helped go from roughing it to smoothing it for this Silverwolf.

[@duckrivermama66]

Wow. So cool. So organized. 👁👁

[@dannyfoxworth3113]

Thank you so much for sharing your exp with us Blackie! Im a vet so I have to go with the old faithful alice pack, but I have fully adopted the Blackie Thomas camp management system. I got in all my one wind stuff last week and have it set up and packed accordingly. Now when I go to the next gathering I can look like I know what Im doing even though I dont! 😂 i hope you are feeling better brother give us an update as soon as you can.

[@GodBearOutoors]

Good to have this in the ole toolbox 👍👍

[@jeffrichards5106]

That's the way to do it Blackie. Thanks for the video! 👍

[@SonofChurchill]

Blackie Thanks for shearing your knowledge

[@paylaw6012]

Thank you Blackie, for your knowledge and the unselfish way in which you share it with all of us. Bless you !

[@bushnut8305]

For pete"s sake man! Don't just do something, stand there!

[@itllkeal]

Thanks Blackie

[@Old-man-of-the-forrest]

Very good young man. I do like the way you are doing things in order not having any wasted motion. Everything in its place in order of when you need it out.

[@richbecker3810]

Great video blackie

[@GordonCodyDixon6591]

Thanks for showing that. I'll definitely be using it.

[@frogmorepipester7490]

Dance Moves. I dig it. There is rythum

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

😊that real nice Blackie, thanks and take care.

[@frogmorepipester7490]

I’m a gigging musician. Hell yeah!

[@hagman1077]

Hey Blackie- Good points here and thanks for sharing. Its good to have a plan and good to get in the habit of setting up and tearing down in some sort of fashion. Thanks again for the video. Be safe out there-

[@ahayseed654]

Yep. Repetition is how dogs learn so quickly. I'm almost that good. ;-)

[@georgethomas4483]

I'm 76 years old been doing rodyvues for over 60 years never seen a time when I or any of my buddies were in such a hurry we worried about if it took an extra 20 minutes to set up - setting up camp is half the fun - take time to enjoy the day my good man slow down and enjoy life don't be in a hurry

[@geico1975]

For the majority of the time no doubt, but I bet all of us wishes for a speedy setup or takedown when a rain storm is chasing us:) HA!

[@MoonShadow74]

@@geico1975 Thats exactly what Blackie said in so many words.

[@ahayseed654]

You get a little older, you'll understand better what economy of movement means at the end of the day. It's not about a slow relaxing setup, it's about not retracing your steps six times. Kind of like making sure your gear is all secure before that trek up the hill. Don't want to retrace those steps four times. Or even one. Makes for a hard day, with an extra ache or two to show for it.

[@mr.miniaturesmodels8465]

13:15 Blackie! What happened to your poor hat strap??

[@mattflannery4448]
