Do you give classes either as a group setting or on an individual basis?

Can you do a video how to use a rope without cutting it to secure a plywood 2x4 ... On your car roof rack? Thanks!

Something I've never paid attention to before is the beauty and art of knot tying. Some of the designs the knots make are a work of art that's also functional.

[@chrisbenoit7539]

You made me realize explaining the knot is almost as important as execution. learned during high angle training that dressing the knot is important for showing a court i can tie but your ability to explain what was done is second to none. Thanks!

[@mtoner100]

I have watched a lot of videos of people showing you how to tie various knots; you are actually teaching us how to tie these knots, and I would say, very effectively. Thank you!

[@blacksheep6821]

Love these knot videos. The size and color of the cordage is perfect for clear visual understanding. Thank you!

[@Stepapajon2]

It takes a lot to earn my subscription. I have watched a lot of your videos and this one was the one to tip the scale. You have a great teaching style. Low key and humble without a bunch of needless chatter. Thank you for taking the time to make a channel that is a great asset to the KZbin community.

[@michaeloppenheimer2582]

You never stop creating great videos, teaching people how to enjoy the out of doors it's a wonderful thing, but they're also learning survival skills, once again thank you so much for your great videos God bless and have a wonderful day !!!

[@kinady283]

Just wanted to say your teaching skills are top notch my friend. I've been learning knots for a while and the way you showed it worked for me like no other so thank you bud. Great work. I understood everything perfectly..thx again

[@itzkatsawayo]

I loved the last knot you showed - farmers knot, it is exactly what I was looking for! Easy to make and for my need really useful!

[@rodidlewild2330]

Excellent Sir. Well done. If I may, another great use for the Alpine Butterfly loop is to use it to quickly isolate a damaged section of your rope. Just make the damaged rope part of the loop, dress and tighten normally. You now have the damaged part of the rope isolated in the loop and your rope is back to normal use and strength.

[@BobWidlefish]

*@Rod Idlewild* I think that’s a great idea, though I’m pretty sure the rope would be weaker than full strength because of the knot. If you see people doing hydraulic stress tests of rope they tend to break at specific locations within the various knots because of how the knot applies increasingly severe stress on particular spots as they tighten under load. I’m definitely not knocking your idea, I think it’s great! Though I don’t think it’s full strength, it’s reduced to whatever the break strength of the knot is, which I think for the alpine butterfly is something like 75% of the rope strength. The channel alanleeknots has some knot tests published. Cheers!

[@tylercheney784]

Why wouldn’t you just cut out the damaged rope and re tie like a normal person?

[@godngunclinger]

that WAS outstanding, that was the first time i've seen to tie a bowline like that QUICK AND SIMPLE..watching again..

[@semco72057]

I love the knots you showed us and have saved the video to practice with later on and eventually put into use in the field. It would have been great if the Air Force had taught all of us how to use rope to do that, but they didn't and I am now retired and have the time, and material and want to use it for camping out. The knowledge you are giving us is so valuable and helpful in many situations and I thank you so much for sharing it.

[@cmcer1995]

Never have tied the Farmer's Loop, but will try this midline loop. Have tied the others, but not since backing off on climbing. Obviously I need to practice these all over again, and your video demonstrations will make that easier. Thanks for the instruction once again.

[@shulmani]

The best channel to learn all the practical outdoor stuff. Simple, to the point and a host with an amazing attitude. Thank you. 🙏

[@sopwath4016]

Thank you for taking the time to make your video in a way that clearly shows how to tie the knots correctly.

[@MrTalisman80]

Thank you Sir! I've been practicing and improving. Your videos clear, succinct, and provide straightforward instruction for the lesson at hand. One can tell that you have taught before. I built my first lean-to with no practice and it kept my firewood dry in a northern Michigan downpour. I only relied on my memory of the instructional videos you produced and it worked exactly as you described. Keep up the great work! Thanks again

[@shanecolon4727]

When I wanna learn something bushcraft/camping I end up on your channel first. Saves me looking for my answer from a 2nd tier teacher. Keep it up, really enjoy expanding my knowledge from novice to experienced as I implement techniques learned here.

[@barrymccociner4105]

I love your videos. Your explanations and demonstrations are in-depth, so while your videos may be longer than others, I actually learn the information more quickly and I don't have to stop and rewind the video 5x just so I can see what you're doing. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@marcosandrepereiradasilva2075]

bom muito bom!!!

[@jamesconnor2278]

By far, the very BEST Instructional Videos on KZbin! Oustanding! Thanks!

[@stevenwbaker56]

Have to say I love your videos. I've always loved the outdoors, bushcraft skills. Keep on with the videos and I'll keep watching ! Thanks !

[@williamokrasinski9840]

Thank you CC for the instructions. I never knew there was another easier way for a bowline. I learned the rabbit hole tree method. Yours is much easier. Also the Alpine butterfly is very handy as I always tied a bowline for a midline loop to chinch down a load, but always had to use much excess line for the rabbit end to finish the loop. The midline loop is much easier anywhere on the line and fantastic. Ooh Rah!

[@BobWidlefish]

Hey Corporal: you inspired me. I think you can make the alpine butterfly even easier by wrapping in the order 1 3 2 to begin with rather than starting with 1 2 3 and moving 3 2. If you just wrap under your thumb on your left hand, then spaced out a little wrap again by the middle of the palm, then for the third wrap go between the two existing wraps. Now pull 3 over 2 and 1, under them and back out to form the loop as usual. I think it’s subjectively easier to learn and teach and also tie. Wrapping in the new order is necessarily faster than fiddling with two cords after doing the old three wraps. I learned to tie from you. Thank you! You are an excellent teacher and I’m in awe of your skills and knowledge! Have a great week!

[@carmencolon5647]

You are an artist when it comes to survival skills, bushcraft skills and camping skills. The best of the best👍👏

[@h4tt3n]

Really good no-bullshit video that teaches you exactly what the title says. Very clear, simple with good showing and in-context demonstrations.

[@alexmelnua]

What a wonderful, useful and interesting channel you have! Your skills, tips and tricks have allowed me to improve my safety when working with trees! Sincerely wishing the channel good luck and prosperity, new interesting videos!

[@hanadazoubi1460]

thanks for your show and sure its a good helpful knots in many situations in our life and with macrame working especially plant hanging

[@kirneyc.thibodeaux649]

This is very useful information. This is a great video. Bowline is one of the most useful knots to use in a lot of applications. Hope you made it ok with your flooding situation. I feel for you. I know what it is. Thanks Semper Fi. Charles

[@marktrinkle2131]

Just have to say... my wife and I greatly appreciate you putting your time and energy into teaching your survival skills like you do. These skills are priceless. Tonight we're watching your videos on tying knots. Thankyou for your hard work! I personally would love to join you on an episode.

[@imthoisc4475]

best bowline instruction I've seen. No mentions of rabbits, trees, or holes....

[@Stevej2013]

That was awesome AF Corp. Thank you, Sir. Your knots are great!

[@HobbitHomes263]

When I was guiding and packing supplies for the USFS I'd use the mid-line loop on my "high-line. When ot was time to set up camp a long 1/2 inch rope was stretched about 6 feet off the ground between trees. The high-line is tied up using the same knots you use for a tarp ridgeline. bowlin on one end and Dutchman (trucker's hitch( on the other. The mid-line loops one per mule can still get pulled pretty tight it they pull back while tied up. The high line helps keep the lead rope high so the animal can't get a leg over it To keep the loop from getting too tight I cut a chunk of half inch sapling and slip it under the loop before dressing the knot down. When I got ready to pack out in the morning, I could just pull that toggle and the knot came out slick as ya please. Thanks for what you do Corporal! Carry on ;)

[@morehumorehu4861]

Your vocal instructions combo with visual tutalage is outstanding, easy to move with you. You have made complex simple and hard easy. Thank you, I like to sub to people such as yourself, you seem assured and confident and I believe you tutor that also, thumbs up👍

[@djmj12714]

And _no_ annoying heavy metal "music" during the intro... OOH-rah!

[@ManfromMN]

This is the kind of video you watch a couple times a year as a refresher so you don't forget how to do it.

[@MuskratJim]

Great stuff Shaun. I appreciate your use of thick bright cordage for your demonstrations and the close-ups of each knot at the end of each demonstration. Well done, sir!

[@garywheaton7112]

He probably doesn’t like being called “sir” considering he’s hanging his hat on being an E4 in the Marines twenty years ago.

[@OMACMedicFiveZero]

For some reason the bowline is a hard one for me to remember. It never clicks. Ive managed to get by with a figure 8 on a bite, a clove hitch and my prussics. However the alpine seemed a lot more difficult in the fire academy. Ive practiced it several times in real world scenarios and it was this video that made it “click”. Thank you Sir!

[@JeepsterDave]

I really appreciate the clear and concise way you demonstrate and explain these knots.

[@adamortner7172]

Good video! Added this to my favorites. I like the way this goes beyond the knot itself, and shows it used as an anchor point on the tree. Thanks, Sir. Think I will subscribe, too, like the no nonsense! Just practiced the Alpine Butterfly midline loop! It is a thing of beauty! You are one of the best teachers for knots!

[@MrGman6897]

[@timothywalding3142]

Another well done video sir. Those are great knots for anyone's arsenal.

[@philipkellerman9826]

You do a fantastic job of demonstrating how to tie all the various knots and explaining their uses. Still yet you would find yourself reaching for the popcorn while laughing at me as, I watch your videos TRYING to duplicate the knots. 🤣

[@austinlowery8946]

Great video. I think a video on the creation of a "loop ladder" incorporating the different mid-line loops and anchors in this video would be a pretty cool watch.

[@woodsinme]

Shawn you would have made a good squid, lol. What sets you apart I think is the alternate ways you tie some knots. Cool stuff. Glad I found this one too. Keep kicking brother.

[@Wo1fLarsen]

Brother, you have a knack for concise explanation. Greatly appreciated.

have not seen an alpine butterfly in a while. outstanding

[@zalo_sl2065]

Yesterday had my first rapel and climbing session by myself in the wilderness and guess what, all I used I had learned it from your videos, I even used the swiss chair as I didn't have a harness lol. Love your videos man, greetings from Andalusia, Spain!

[@recall5811]

that's great, please keep in mind that this video wasn't about rappelling. It was about knots and emergency rope bridges. Please seek professional advice on future rappels. Thanks for watching

[@cshirle3]

Have never seen that method of tying the Alpine butterfly loop, thanks!

[@lukeschwebke637]

Another awesome tutorial, good camera work! explained and shown perfectly. thanks you sir.

[@bobk2966]

Great bowline method, I have been teaching that method for 43 years, learned from a British rockclimber teaching a climbing gym class at UMASS Amherst 1973, Alaska commercial fisherman will not tie a bowline that method, I know, I was one for 10 years, they still tie old school. "Rabbit running around trees, into holes, etc, ha, ha." I got no time for Rabbits

[@dlighted8861]

I know knots well enough but was surprised by that first one. Easily done and undone. Well done.🤗😁🤗 The only knot I am having trouble with is the easy finishing knot.🤗😶🤗 I was taught just to marry the cordage together with turns and a half hitch. It works but your overhand knot is neater and even more secure. That is good cordage. It doesn't deform in the knot. Your weird configurations are weirding out my mind. Too much all at once. Time to put you on pause for a while.🤗 I love the rain especially the sound of it. If not soaking wet I can function in it just fine.

[@anwarmcsween4090]

[@cloptonhouse]

A few things to mention. You could also use an inline figure eight which is tied in the direction it will be use but is always parallel with the line. In Rescue, we don't like putting the tension on a knot when it come with anchors. We like to use Tensionless Hitches, Wrap 3 Pull 2, or a basket hitch,

[@mike-yp1uk]

Knots training is always good material

[@horsterer77]

Great video, I really like your instructions, very easy to follow , thanks ! Have you ever made a video about ropes, cords etc. and the differences between ? I couldn't find one on your channel , and it'd be great to see one done your style . Just a suggestion .

[@nobodysmith4453]

Well explained, thanks. I am really interested in knowing what knots are best for what jobs. I always use a bowline for everything but my climbing friends don’t approve and use the double figure of eight. I can’t see the problem with a bowline. It would be interesting in knowing the in’s and out’s of each knot. Would you consider a video explaining navigation in bad weather not using gps. Regards from a scout leader from England.
