Handy Use for Zip Ties

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks for all of the support and encouragement that you've so graciously extended over the years my friends... it is truly appreciated! May the New Year bring you all the best! :)

[@jeepersdelight]

IntenseAngler I've used a number of your tricks over the past few years! Huge gap! Keep posting on! Happy trails!

[@UserFormelyKnownAs_hjkh]

So glad to see you back! We've missed you round here buddy! You seriously need a regular TV show. I hope that whatever kept you away is all free and clear for you and that you can get some peace and spend some more time showing us more tricks!

[@ookiemand]

Hi John, I got a tip for you: - cut two 12"pieces of race bicycle inner tire. - loop each piece in between the strap and foam of you backpack strap at sternum height. - close each loop with a tight zip tie placed at 1" from the end of the two ends, so you can hold and stretch the loop easily. Now you have 2 rubber loops on your chest to put a two bottles in. Because you now carry your water in front this compensates the backpack's weight and improves balance. Taking a sip of water, or filling it up is quick, likewise is checking your supply. Enjoy!

[@tedbrogan1262]

I like the concept. I never thought to color code them, but I'm definitely doing that now. Thanks for sharing another video. Glad to see you're still around. I miss your videos.

[@toml.8210]

The zipper pull is fine, but you still must take off the gloves to get the zipper ends engaged.

[@IntenseAngler]

Yeah, it can certainly be a bit tricky to engage the zippers on some winter jackets for sure.

[@MsAcreage]

A great reminder of a simple fix with the use of zip ties for all of us. Thanks!

[@stilcrazychris]

When you coming back for good. You was the 1st channel that got me wanting to be out in the woods more often & using more homemade gear then buying that expensive stuff in the store. Showed me I could make it. Well I'm still using that Dr. Pepper can to this day. Please come back with weekly videos. Thanks Chris from Missouri

[@donaldgarmon7368]

Welcome Back John! We have missed you and Kado! Please send some more new material, all of your hiking, fishing, camping videos were great! We Miss Them So Much!

[@guyperry8888]

Welcome back John. Wonderful tip. I keep YT for new video and started rewatching all the old ones. Again glad you are back. 😀👍

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much Guy... can't tell you how much I appreciate that my friend! :)

[@BackpackBushcraft]

Cool idea. the color coordination is a great use for this. Especially when telling someone what pouch it’s in. Thanks again for another great tip.

[@truck57us]

Excellent tips. If it hasn't already been mentioned, releasable/reusable zip ties in all sorts of sizes are great also.

[@louisehiker9246]

Your videos and great tips are always appreciated. Thanks John.

[@IntenseAngler]

My pleasure Louise. Really glad to hear that you enjoy them :)

[@nickosborne1982]

[@alejandroa5453]

Seeing you back here is most comforting. Thanks + Regards

[@uptrail7169]

Somehow I missed this video! I always keep one zip tie in my pack for if needed. Good Tip!👍😀

[@OdegardOnline]

Welcome back, John! We've missed you.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Jeff!

[@pnyarrow]

Glad to see you back. Great Tip; especially the colour coding!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks my friend. Really glad to hear that you found it useful!

[@That_broke_biker]

Glad to have you back john

[@MeetMeOutside]

Really great to see you brother ! I think you can see there are a lot of folks that care about you man ! Nice tip with the zip ties ! Take care my friend . Peace

[@Woodenarrows]

Great tip John. I've been using 3/32" tactical cord loops for added zipper pulls BUT... they don't hang open for easy use with gloves like the zip ties would. I'm going to need those gloves too this month so... I'm going to the garage and get my bag of zip ties. Thanks my friend, good to see you again...

[@outbackwack368]

Great to see you back, John! Hope all is well and that you and your family have an excellent 2018 and beyond!

[@amandaggogo]

I use this method on my pack, helps me to unzip stuff quickly, without having to fumble around with the tiny zipper pulls it comes with. I like this idea for coats as well!

[@SebastianCliment]

Good to see you back! Look forward to more cool tips.

[@evanhathaway7764]

Glad to see that you're back at it ! Keep them coming!

[@JepsOutdoorAdventures]

Very good video my friend! I love the tips! I wish I could make this type of video more easily. Good job, Jep.

Very helpful trick John... Thanks for sharing... I live in Southern California and we don't get much of a winter, next week we are supposed to get a little rain. It's funny to watch the news here "Storm Watch" hahaha... Take care.

[@Cushionoutdoors]

John your back 😁 I have been wondering if you were gone for good glad your back and your videos are awesome

[@lakesidepaul3950]

Thanks John. Happry New Year to you!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you Paul. Happy New Year to you too!

[@rhino5419]

Welcome back. It was a long wait. HAPPY NEW YEAR! The cut ends of the zip ties are usually sharp and can cut bags and jackets, a simple remedy is to round them of by melting with a lighter.

[@IntenseAngler]

Appreciate that my friend. Happy New Year to you as well! Couldn't agree more about making sure those ends are taken care of so as not to potentially damage gear. Thank you for taking the time to add that in :)

[@rhino5419]

No problem, you have helped me many times.

[@EthanDavis.w]

Glad to have you back John! You, your videos, and your tips have been missed. How's Kado?

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you Ethan... really appreciate that my friend! Ol' Kado's doing well... in fact just may be seeing him in a video here soon :)

[@stephenhill6003]

I replaced the ring locks on my frame backpack with doubled up zip ties and saved quite a bit of weight. I always carry a couple of spares, but so far I've never needed them.

[@TimmyBobinson]

Hi John. From the UK. 😊

[@IntenseAngler]

Hey buddy! Great hearing from ya over there across the pond :)

[@michaelvogel4953]

Welcome back! Happy New Year!!

[@sosteve9113]

Happy New Year, Greetings from Belgium Steve

[@SushiKing123NorskGaming]

Awsome video! Great to see you again.

[@grizzlytaco3447]

Thats a Great idea John! Its been awhile, i hope all is good with You and your Family! Take care my Friend!

[@dylanbaker4160]

Woooow! Welcome back! Just made my day

[@IntenseAngler]

Haha.. right on! Thanks Dylan!

[@RyanFaeScotland]

Did you just in essence tie a zip tie to a zip? My bet for the next video: zipping a zip tie to a tie! Great to see you back btw!

[@RavenBlaze]

Cool idea!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Jennifer! :)

[@TheSouthwestBackpacker]

Happy New Year Brother!

[@IntenseAngler]

Happy New Year to you too my Brother! Hope all's been well down your way Matt :)

[@bjhagues]

Happy New Year! And, I'll keep the echo resounding: welcome, friend! Great idea for the pull tabs that color code pockets. I fear the zip tie might be a snag peril and super scratchy, not just on the cut end. (Yeah, I'm the sort that cut tags out of my clothes lol) Seems like a great use for the cheap, colorful "paracord" You've got me thinking, for sure.

[@FISHINGCHIPPEWALAKE]

Glad your back

[@DeLewrh]

did you just come back after 7 months without explanation or am I missing out on some social media info

[@DeLewrh]

oh and great video obviously!

[@timmc.9478]

2 video ago he explanation where he was, Its called "Channel Update".

[@DeLewrh]

TOOL MAN yeah I for some reason totally missed that, my mistake, thanks

[@KowboyUSA]

Have a great 2018, John!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks my Brother! Hope 2018 brings you nothing but the best man!

[@rawdeal271]

Happy New Year John. Good to see another video again!!

[@IntenseAngler]

[@CheekysKitchen]

Welcome back John, we’ve missed you man. Keep ‘me coming, good tip, even if we’re all wearing bikinis down here in Australia at the moment.😎☀️

[@IntenseAngler]

Hey thank you very much for that man... really appreciate it! Bikini weather sure does sound good to me about now by the way ;) haha.

[@CrankyBubushka]

Great idea!!

[@kramrentip7528]

Welcome back!

[@knighthawk25u]

Good to see you my friend. It’s been awhile

[@paulespinoza7172]

HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jaredj631]

I almost forgot about your channel completely.

[@smsgtbulldog]

Just remember to knock down the sharp corners where you made your cut. You don’t want to have your new pull snagging on everything. Those edges are sometimes quite the little stickers!

[@hikewithmike4673]

great to see a new video from you....you channel was one of the first ones i subbed to wehn I joined youtube!......looking forward to more videos!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank Mike... can't tell you how awesome that is to hear brother!

[@thaddeusmikolajczyk9055]

Good idea thanks for sharing.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much.

[@phyllismulkey3778]

great tip

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you very much :)

[@shcmoly]

Good to see you Brother!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks my Brother! Hope the New Year is off to a great start for ya! :)

[@44ten]

If you're careful with your BIC Lighter, you can melt the rough edge on most zip ties. I always get scratched on the rough cutoff if I don't.

[@artineogda]

Wow. Amazing... White Zip Ties works too?

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you. Yeah, any color will work. Hope that helps...

[@artineogda]

IntenseAngler Thats great. Thanks ;)

[@ratherbfishing455]

Great idea! However, I'm afraid that I might get caught on something with a loop :(

[@tonyeden8381]

Nice tip........good to see ya 👍👍👍

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Tony! Good to be seen btw ;)

[@aidangonnelly]

use para cord?

[@chef_nick3022]

I use paracord knots on my school bag and bugout bag. I swear you can do just about anything if you have enough ductape, zipties, and 550 paracord.

[@drumavenger83]

Great to see ya uploading again! Hope you have a great 2018! ... and maybe we will get another video or three! Lol
