Sir let me just say it is nice to have somebody that actually thinks well if somebody is going to Google how to make a net They most likely will not own a net weaving tool thank you for making this video

[@vans.8435]

Good use of #72 bank line. Thanks for another good, informative video. Sounded like you were under a waterfall.

[@corwinchristensen260]

This method is particularly useful when using handmade cordage as you start with several shorter lengths rather than one long one.

[@kantill]

The one thing I would add is for the lengths of rope for going down you really need about three times of what you think you need. So if you want a net that's 2 foot in width you'll want about six feet of rope hanging after the larkshead knot. Due too all the knots you'll tie.

[@Undedproduction]

kantill Good tip!

[@fergusrb]

Maybe in the future you could show how to finish the net with the bottom piece of paracord. What kind of knot do you finish on the bottom with? Bruce from the city of Orange in Orange County California

[@jeffgrumley8230]

Bruce Ferguson I'm not an expert this is just a guess...maybe run a second ridge line along the bottom starting with the same process working toward the middle and do maybe a square knot or the slippery knot, that lashes 2 pieces of cordage. By doing that I would think it would be easier to add as much length as needed. I am not entirely sure if this is practiced as I said but it makes sense to me

[@scottlippert2988]

So simple even a Non-Bushcrafter, such as myself, can do it.

[@jeffreymchoul]

..great rainy day in camp project. I will definitely be introducing this to our Boy Scouts on our next rainy day in camp. Sort of like it was on this past Saturday...

[@blackhatbushcraft]

I've done these types several times and can always remember how. The net needle gives me a hard time..just need more practice I guess. Good demo Dan.

[@MichaelEatonolympus1112]

best tutorial i have seen about net making

[@QuesttogetontheAloneShow-qq3cz]

Great video. Thanks for sharing this fast and easy way of doing it. Playing catch up on all your videos.

[@GrindThisGame]

Great demonstration.

[@campsiteministries]

Rainy days can be a good resource to give you the time to work on projects like this.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Very excellent demo, my friend. You are right about the rain, it is what it is. No worries, just adds to the ambiance and realism of what you teach.

[@yeshuaisthewaythetruthandt515]

Thanku. Sound of rain is therapeutic

[@LGSkywalker82]

Next rainy day for sure! Thanks Dan

[@ricky1925]

The sound of the rain was a great way to net the video together.

[@user-gu6mb5et8k]

thank u 4 this the other net making vids r so much more complex this so much better

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Thx Dan! I can make a few for my shed... hang em up on the ceiling to store lightweight items!

[@DougPalumbo]

Excellent demonstration! Best and easiest I’ve seen on net making!

[@stetson_newsie2600]

This is SO much easier than I expected. I have a bunch of twine I've got no use for, so I figured I'd learn a thing or two. Thanks for the instruction!

[@peterarguello7799]

Well done, easy to remember!

[@joetaylor2932]

The tips and tricks keep coming! Thanks Dan

[@warrenohuyran5401]

Again this was really good and this is somthing else I can try and its somthing new I just learned and it seems easy. This was very informative and I really enjoyed this video Dan, this is somthing I am going to practice and make, awesome video and educational as always. Take care till next video buddy.

[@mariomartin2739]

I seldom comment, but I havta say that was a great video. Thank you

[@mittenstatebushcraft6381]

Awesome! Super simple way to make a gill net. Thanks, Dan.

[@BackGardenBushcraft]

Lots of cordage

[@stephenfeeney2966]

Great vid dan

[@Ftlogames]

Loved the rain sound!

[@jeffsmith6441]

Looks easy enough. Thank you for showing us. Keep the tips coming!

[@TwoWheelWanderer650]

Great video! I like the quickness of it without tools.

[@annelawrence9127]

This makes me so happy, really

[@williammccaslin8527]

I grew up in FLA, An we use to have ALOT of net makers there, luckily I got to see how this was done as a kid in the 60's, but they always used the net needle for speed an that's how they made their living. I was under the impression that you had to use a net needle, now I know you don't, will add this to my bag of tricks, loved the simplicity of it, very easy way of making a net

[@Unknown39485]

Excellent. Extremely useful (not only fur bushcraft/survival) and very clear

[@shawnhuston8335]

Awesome! I think I found my next project! Thanks 🙏

[@cuivre2004]

Wow- easier than I thought it would be! Great video!

Easy peasy. Good to go.

[@fredflintstone6163]

Thanks I've done. This many times a stick makes a substitute for gage

[@edfaringer8671]

[@linklesstennessee2078]

Good info Dan

[@ericfisher7220]

[@DSMetal14]

[@EddyGurge]

[@ijursic]

Useful

[@kevinschmith9379]

Thank you that’s good to know

[@HumanPrism]

Gracias 🙏

[@EJRhees]

Great!

[@danielm9062]

Cool thank you for the vid I'm going to try this and the rain just remember the earth need to drink too an American Indian friend told me that when I started having a fit when it rained on a barbecue we were having all the best. Dan in ohio

[@the_orange_shepherd6938]

Great video dan. I dong know how to use the net needles. Will you do a video on that?

[@Q-BinTom]

Great demo, thanks for sharing. What size bank line are you using?

[@pennyghost]

#72 for the win.

[@dmwgreywolf1123]

Awesome! Never even considered making a net before because I just figured "how the hell?" and stopped there. This video could have been named "Net making for dummies" because it doesn't get any more well explained and shown than right here. "Easy as pie" will be what I think next time making a net comes up. Thanks!

[@blackwillowbushcraft5632]

Funny I did this last night actually you can check it out on my pages if you want!! Used net needles and mesh gauges before but this method seems easier to me! Awesome video as always brother thank you for all that you do I have learned a lot from you!!

[@johndunn868]

#72 bank line right? Should make a hammock

[@robvegart]

To make a large enough net for gill netting it would take approximately 10-12 hours, 3-4 days with a shuttle and gauge, and about 4000 to 5000 feet of line or cordage. The right size mesh will give you 4ft in height and 25 to 30 ft in width.

[@bltoth1955]

Good to know.

[@NS-pf2zc]

This is awesome. I'm really loving your channel! I couldn't help it...I started thinking of a hammock. The rain sounds comforting, in my opinion. Question, do you have any good resources for rope/cordage in bulk at reasonable prices? We have a bunch of 550 from our time with the military, but other rope would seem like a good thing to have on hand as well.

[@dannyh9010]

Nice tutorial. Your videos are very clear and informative. Wearing a rain-jacket under a tarp... Must be raining pretty hard. : - P

[@GetUrPhil]

This is the easiest way to make a net and without a shuttle, that i've seen.

[@Morbius907]

How do you finish off the last row?

[@sambulate]

I imagine you can use fishing line instead. But is it a good idea to use fishing line for a gill net, or is it better to use something with a larger diameter, or does it matter?

[@edgoad7129]

I want to make a live catch net for a snare. What do I do with the horizontal piece of para cord? I want to make it so the net pulls symetrically so there's no slack anywhere around the perimeter.

[@47kcr]

Hey Dan, I brought Dan V some cookies on our last class. Can I get a free hat that? Next year I’ll bring you all some jerky. P. S. I think your first shirt should be Dan V with a blow gun dart in his neck saying “you got to be kidding me!”

[@cww922]

How do you finish the bottom?

[@tamijoiskewl]

Do you need to weigh the bottom down of hanging out

[@TheScoundrel70]

Cool! Coalcracker bushcraft macromay bikinis! Watch for them in the online store. I just hope Dan gets a manikin or model rather than modeling them himself. No offense intended Dan, you are still golden!

[@kantill]

Done this before, makes a quick net

[@michaelferry6880]

👍

[@jurgenrinsberghe5146]

what material would they have used to make such nets in the1800's? and would they have used it to fish?

[@StarLight-yk6es]

Give a man a fish ,he'll eat for a day, teach him how to make a net and he can feed a village! :)

[@bradpage8967]

The rain is really distracting.

[@greenspaceexplorer4576]

I did a video like this a month ago. My net was a first attempt though, and it didn't turn out nearly as nice as yours. I need lots more practice. I think net-making is like any other skill - it takes practice.

[@recall5811]

The hillbilly net is blasphemy, lol.

[@aholycrusader2681]

Who else didn’t what to buy the netting for a ghillie

[@user-dx4pm3nb3g]

Hahaha
