DOWN'N'DIRTY WOODSCRAFT

[@GodBearOutoors]

Nice, I can really see the multitude of possibilities with this idea. Thank you for sharing Blackie. 👍👍

[@boomshanka8743]

Please write that book sir, I would certainly buy a copy!

[@beachcomber52]

Thanks for showing this Blackie. This will certainly become one of my favorite projects around camp.

[@radscientist]

Made one just to try it out. It's surprisingly comfortable when used as a seat. Definitely a valuable addition to anyone's woodsy knowledge and a great camp project to help smooth it. Thanks for sharing!

safe journeys

[@jacqueline7118]

Awesome project! Would love to see the lazy back chair constructed! Thanks for sharing this idea, it will be very useful at my bushcraft camp!

[@johnfrisbee8955]

I'm just getting into woodscraft. I really enjoy your videos. They are very knowledgeable. Your training is outstanding they are very clear. Thanks for the information.

[@bombproofbushcraft]

I think the professor made one of those on Gilligans island for a raft.LOL That is an awesome tip, I also see a way to make a bridge over a small ditch (scale it up). I can see making a sturdy longer term type of shelter using this technique (walls, roof, lean to). You really got me thinking with this video. Fantastic!!!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thats it..you can make doors/ wall /floors /traps/tables/ect..its the one""knot"" that serves all the uses

[@frankieviljoen]

Excellent idea. Will have to try this. Bed, door, hatch . . . wow

[@mclewisadventures3851]

Love it Blackie! Great campcraft idea! I'll be exploring the possibilities with this one! Lol

[@donnance1480]

Thanks, Blackie for the reminder...I remember that from about 50 years ago...LOL! My age is hanging out now :) Live long and prosper, my friend!

[@davidleasure9138]

Awesome, first for time ever seeing this made. Like you said endless possibilities. Thanks for sharing

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Ozarkwonderer]

This is a really cool set up and very versatile like you said. Im thinking raised bed would be an awsome application for this

[@JoeOutdoors]

Talk about jogging the grey cells! It was 50+ years ago when I last used this idea. It still makes sense! My buddies thought I was nuts until they got to sit on the one I made, backside off the ground and dry. Didn't hear as much from Mom about the clothes being dirty either! Thank You for the jog and sharing!

[@billvance2573]

Blackie, another creative idea that sets your channel apart from the others. Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidKralikOutdoors]

Great stuff, Blackie. You've just taught an old dog a new trick that he'll be passing on to some pups. ATB David

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yes sir..floors /rafts/tables/.walls..beds..once you see how it works you will fill in a lot of blanks

[@olalabamahillbilly9677]

Great information Blackie ! I’ll be putting this in my book of bushcraft ideals! The possibilities is endless!

[@stevedarnall8556]

Awesome information for many applications, thank you for sharing Blackie !

[@FERALDOG4]

It also can be a deadfall trap: attach a heavy rock to its top- five times heavier than the targeted animal and with nine or ten more of ‘em baited a ways outside of camp you should have no trouble passively hunting while you’re taking care of other tasks, or, hunting with a throwstick, etc.. great video as always brother thank you!

[@luisvera7993]

Love it, great keep them coming.

[@earljames453]

Nice one .I'll be adding this one to my kit.

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing , great idea !

[@281covfefe5]

Down n Dirty AWESOMENESS 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@DenverLoveless]

Now that's some good stuff right there. Thank you !

[@tayloralbrecht8362]

Really love your videos. Great information and explanation. What shirt is that you wear?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i wear several if you mean in not this but other videos i wear often a german moleskin shirt dark green with a small german flag on sleeve..in this video i am wearing a field shirt i bought yrs ago at cabelas i think

[@danielpack7972]

Very cool project! Couldn’t you do the same thing with one longer piece of bank line with an overhand knot on the bite end for the thumb size loop and another overhand loop toward the two loose ends to create the tie tie section?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

that could work..once you get the idea of how this works you will find a million ways to use it...safe journeys

[@richardrocha702]

simple + amazing = OUTSTANDING information

[@southerncharmer3474]

Awesome tip for many uses. Thanks to you and Marc for stimulating this video. It can be a game changer. 👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad you found it useful

[@TACHILL]

Great project! Size is only what your imagination can come up with. Could do 3 or even 4 based on length to make it that much stronger

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

exactly..just size it to the need ..and reenforce as needed

[@garyprice9015]

Very good info thank u blackie

[@winfieldjohnson125]

That is a cool technique....Gonna have to try that.....

[@BobSprGa]

When using this technique for longer (6 ft or more - like a raised bed or table) items, do you suggest adding a third cross piece?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

you can it depends on how heavy you are and how green and flex able the oles are..but you add as you need for the given job..thanks for the comment safe journeys

[@dannypalmer8916]

great project really glad I subscribed

[@tayloralbrecht8362]

What is the best way to judge how long of a piece of bank line for the size you desire? Example is if you want to make a bigger platform.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it depends on size of the wood your using..i will often measure the given final size i want then ad 1/3..when in doubt simply lay the sticks and go ahead and wrap the cord..leave like 3 inches or so at the end to tie with..hope this helps ya safe journeys

[@bentley1960]

Make the middle stick longer and you have a quick ore for your boat

[@neiljohnston3407]

hmm, I wouldn't bother cutting a separate piece for the ties, just leave enough past the 2nd overhand knot for the ties & add the overhand knot fray stoppers to the end.

[@johnruckman2320]

Where's some cheap places to buy bank line or buy at or near wholesale?

[@bryanrichardson9683]

That's wicked cool

[@TBOR101]

On a larger scale, I've seen Boyscouts build rafts with a similar technique.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep it does make for a quick raft if ya got the longs already cut

[@NotSoDumb]

Thank you.

[@williammccaslin8527]

Another good vid bro

[@hiramhaji7813]

Great video

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks!

[@John-wu3ii]

Purty handy.

[@bushlifeaholick790]

Heck YEAH!!

[@phyllismulkey3778]

awesome

[@HBC258]

Cool

[@jeffhenderson402]

Why do you say it should be green wood?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

stronger and flex instead of break..it can be dry as well but green is usually better

[@robbevington1754]

smart
