JamWayne - No Problems (Official Video)

[@normajeanhedlund7429]

Thank you for the step-by-step instructions. ❤

[@Jaden48108]

You're the only instructor I know that shows in detail what you're doing and NOT blocking that detail with your fingers when tying knots. It's amazing to me how many people on YT don't critique their own videos. Details matter. Anyway, kudos for that.

[@ARAW-__-]

I need to take note of that ! 🫡

[@user-vm6te8hw1x]

Cause he's pro

[@Wordsmyth8]

I agree.

[@gene_retire]

I agree

[@seangeahlen9837]

Coalcracker and Dave canterfeild are other good pages. Them and corprals corner are my personal favorite channels for bushcraft

[@hikingmando]

Simplicity like this in a tarp setup is great! 100% don't get the other channels' fascination with over-complicating this process. Thanks for keeping it real!

[@redboatmedia1428]

I like it when Corp takes us back to the old school topics like the earlier videos!

[@J1I9M7M4Y]

Don´t we just love when simplicity gets the job done?!

[@rickcreel3657]

proud of your son graduating love the ridge line

[@mikechambers2493]

Great explanation and visuals of how to tie an improvised truckers hitch for those of us who are knot challenged. Thanks.

[@Hector-vx5yc]

Nicely done brother corporal Kelly!! You’re never on porch playing the quarterback!! You are always hands on!! No BS!!! Keep bringing it brother!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏿

[@guadalupeskitchen3734]

The no BS ridgeline. Thank you Sir!

[@stevehildreth1934]

Thanks for all your videos. I enjoy them tremendously! I'm a 68 year old boyscout. I use a variation of your trucker's hitch all the time. And I use toggles extensively! I do enjoy camping and camping comfortably... and on the cheap! Thanks, again!

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

Great video! After your last ridgeline video I made one like that. Then made another like this, the wsy I've been doing for years. I now have both. I like the fancy one for longer term and unhurried setups, but for quick 'emergency' setups this is so much simpler.

[@jonathanbennison9220]

9:57 100 The number of projects you have completed with that handful of knots, hitches, and loops. Is simply outstanding.

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Awesome! This harkens back to a much earlier video of yours I also enjoyed learning from. I still appreciate your time and effort making this for us. Thank you.

[@reubencdebaca2408]

That was an awesome quick and concise midweek video with excellent content, thanks.

[@impermanenthuman8427]

I got a couple of hobby vise, and a couple pieces of dowling attached each end of my desk indoors with a length of paracord to make it easy to regularly drill my knots, works for me and maintains my memory of them

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

KISS...Keep It Simple Stupid! That was drilled into me back in 1979, during basic training, and remains with me all my life. This method you just showed, most certainly does "Keep It Simple Stupid". No need to make a simple job complicated or time consuming. Great video, Cheers from Winnipeg.

[@celticphox]

Thanks, Corp! Good info for when I set the hammock up in the yard. Outstanding!

[@jeffrichards5106]

Thanks, Corporal! outstanding AF!

[@joshuabomar6974]

Keeping your ridgeline & your toggles connected to the tarp or rolled inside during transport will help ensure you always have them ready to deploy. Half inch pvc tubing cut into small sections with a hole for a small lanyard loop will keep toggles together with a light duty caribeaner. Thanks Corporal. OAF.

[@gregoryknox4444]

Excellent instructional video. Thanks for showing the closeup of the knot.

[@jaywilliams3099]

Outstanding video, simple and to the point.

Finally a simple method that gets the job done! Thank you Corporal Kelly

[@christinatravis6686]

Knots aren't easy. Thank you ❤

[@tkskagen]

At my current age of 49yo (50yo in late August), I wish there was Boy Scouts for "seasoned individuals" here in Western Washington State... Oh the adventures that I had from 1986-1992 before I aged out!

[@eventsotherthingswithchris9019]

Hi! I too am a late August birthday guy but a wee bit older. I'll be 59 ( YIKES!! PUT ON THE BRAKES!) this year & am in Western Massachusetts

[@marcschultz5869]

Always enjoy your outstanding informative videos

[@HoosierRallyMaster]

A grommet is just a hole waiting to become a rip. This toggle method treats the fabric with the respect it deserves.

[@markschumacher2788]

Cant get much more basic than this. Good video, especially for the beginner

[@RovingBiologist]

Thank you Corporal

[@robertjeffery3237]

Just like that, another simple bushcraft hack!

[@johno1057]

Always an educational video. Thank you!

[@user-fu9vj9ix3g]

Another benefit of using toggles is that the pressure exerted on grommets is very little. Those cheap poly tarps always lose their grommets when you tie THRU the grommet, rather than spread the stress to both sides using a toggle that spans the hole.

[@robertosantinni9656]

FINALLY, a ridge line even I (70yrs) can remember. Thank you sir.

[@Jman531]

I like how you simplified this into an easy setup. Most that do this over think everything.

[@kvonzwild8979]

Simple, easy, taught in a clear and concise manner. Gotta like that.

[@CTuna-uo3pq]

Tthanks for the knowledge Corporal Kelly. My kid loves watching you build. Outstanding as always.

[@user-ex5yk4xj4c]

People arent afraid of knots cpl they are afraid of having to exert the effort to learn them. Its a common disorder of the day called laziness.

[@markh5889]

But we should watch out for "nots".

[@shauncarr1957]

I disagree not everybody is in the woods everyweekend we have jobs grandkids other hobbies we learn the knots but then dont use them and when you dont use it you lose it. I have 3 knots i use all the rest are forgorten

[@user-ex5yk4xj4c]

@@shauncarr1957 Well thats kind of the whole point sir. Cpl's previous ridgeline system was already designed to be as simple and reliable as possible. When set up the way he showed, most of the knot tying was already done for you and all you had to remember was the Marlin Spike hitch for securing to the tree and then the trucker hitch for tensioning, both of which are still on this iteration of the system sir. Perhaps in your case the laziness comment does not apply, but sir I camp maybe 2 times a year where I use this system. Beyond those 2 times a year I dont practice them or think about them and I remember how to do it every time it comes out of my shelter system bag. It doesnt get any simpler than the original system he showed, without sacrificing a bit of reliability. Ill admit that the system he shows in this video though, lends itself to faster and easier teardown which would be important in an emergency. But lets be real here, Cpl teaches us these skills as part of a simplified SERE course. Knots are a miniscule and insignificant responsibility compared to policing your gear, light and noise discipline, etc. All of these little things he teaches add up to the big skills that protect your life and the lives of those in your stewardship. Its all important, no corner should be cut. Making excuses to avoid the discipline to memorize the smaller techniques will culminate in all of the important things being wrong when you are counting on them and it's too late to fix it.

[@davidtarbassian1490]

This is where one can expand their knowledge and experience quickly and efficiently. Forever forward.

[@scottouellette1126]

Ive never ever left 1 comment on you tube and don't plan to after this. But the way you just demonstrated and eloquently said to everyone out there "Really... How bout we keep it simple stupid" just made me smile!

[@Buffenmeyer]

Brilliant idea with those double toggles. Praying God’s blessings upon you for sharing your knowledge with others.

[@JustaFanBoy]

It's knot complicated!

[@no-sadnomad8370]

I’ve been subscribed for a while; I’ve seen almost every video you’ve put out there; I’ve learned lots and tried to teach coworkers other neat tidbits and tricks. I’ve given away expedient ridge lines I’ve made from your instructions to people as gifts or as a thing to put in emergency kits. I’ve used your ridge line setup in every situation, from setting up camping shelters to preventing people from getting heat stroke at community events when shelter is unavailable. From Plash Palatka’s to the venerable GI poncho. Thank you for the advice and knowledge you share with us.

[@brendanmcsherry3143]

[@doubled3983]

Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video. Love how You are using that "Ghetto Overhand knot" instead of the bowline You use to push. Hard to believe your sons all grown up. Thanks for all You do! God Bless!

[@Mortvent]

It's one of the things I learned early one. My instructor taught us to use simple knots first. Where you can set up a basic shelter with only overhand knots and shoestring knots. It was the Keep It Simple Stupid way of doing it, that anyone can do. And from there we learned more advanced stuff.

[@epluribusunum5405]

Really appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. The details an explanations are very on point. Thank you

[@danpost4755]

Love it! I do have a pre-made Ridgeline from one of your earlier videos, but I appreciate the simplicity of this one.

[@gimponatrip425]

Great video on keeping it simple I've always believed in the kiss method you are a great inspiration a wealth of knowledge keep up the great work

[@bradcox4748]

Firefighter hear. We learned multiple knots in fire school. I quickly learned that a figure 8 knot will do just about anything you want. Loop in the end. Loop around an object. Loop in the middle. Tie two ropes together. Still use other knots for technical rescue. But the figure 8 is a great general use knot. Also easy to tie in the dark and with gloves on.

[@jamesbaker9383]

Simple and to the point. WELL DONE !

[@RoamingRoadJunkie]

Thank you for all you teach. Can’t wait to take a class. Congrats to your son. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@loug4626]

Perfect. Something I can teach and show your video to the grandkids this summer, simple , clean and well presented by you again. That left thumb looks like it was on the receiving end of your hardcore hammer !

[@3870TheDad]

KISS principle in effect. Thanks !!

[@wickeddubz]

Thx to corporal’s vids and tutorials i’m using ropes much more efficiently. I also watch other people’s vids about effective application of knots. And most of them are super simple and easy to use. For summer i only need hammock, 10m rope with few Prusik loops on it, sleeping bag - and my lazy camp is ready:). Occasional stakes or extra stands are made from sticks and branches of fallen trees.

[@markohautamaki]

I compeletly agree with you, basic camping is like 3-(maybe max 5) different knots and you can setup tent, tarp and hammock with a few simple knots.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

Rock climbing is like this. There are knots for every situation, most of the time, you won't need them, but when you do...

[@joshwalton3805]

Thanks for another great tutorial, Corporal! Semper Fi, Marine

[@richardkoontz5938]

I admire your patience. You could teach a kindergarten class. 🤣🤣

[@raleighthomas3079]

He does, in a way. Some need it real simple. He gets the point across very simply and clearly. If you can’t learn from Shawn, you need to stay indoors or accompanied.

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Good video. If you can't do a truckers hitch. Then do a kleat tie to the toggle. Like a boat line to the dock. God bless. From Glenn CATT. In Massachusetts.

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Another Outstanding A.F video my friend

[@heidih2887]

I love these direct and to the point, simple yet SO effective educational videos! I appreciate these especially because they can be applied to a number of recreational activities where many folks may not think they NEED any shelter or other emergency items or skills... fishing, picnics, mushroom/antler shed hunters, boaters/rafters, and so on. Thanks!

[@rammhansen37]

I have made several “rapid deploy ridgelines.” It’s fun to put together as an at-home bushcraft. I may not always have my pre built equipment so I am completely onboard with the Corporal’s method. It’s easy to remember and to teach others. The main key here is to practice, practice, practice!! Muscle memory and repetition.

[@thomasvosburg6926]

"Outstanding " good video, no wasted time getting it up in a hurry

[@tracygallaway36]

Yes!! For someone like me, who was never a Boy Scout, and have a hundred hours of youtube watching the good Corporal here (and others) about outdoor craft, for every hour I've spent in the field---. This is just Gold. even I can manage to remember this simple technique. Thanks again Shawn!!

[@chrislutz7557]

This might be one of your most useful topics. Thanks!

[@kenrogman8916]

[@jefftenk5528]

Do you're awesome I started watching your channel about 7 years ago when you first started out you were clean cut and wearing a du-rag you've totally coming to your own you remind me of a foreman I used to work for who is the coolest dude I've ever worked for I just want to say much love much respect and happy D-Day brother I appreciate you and thank you for your service❤🤘🇺🇸

[@tahoemike5828]

Knots cost nothing, and weigh less. Get a three or four foot piece of cord, and learn a few. A Bowline, a Clove hitch, an Alpine butterfly, an overhand and a square knot will get you started. There are specialty knots for climbing, sailing, sewing, and fishing, and some other uses if you need them, but these basics will take you a long way. These are easily combined to make things like the Truckers hitch, the Arbor knot, and the famous Prussik, but just learn the basic component knots first. There are tons of how-to videos on here, and you can just practice while you are watching TV, on the phone, or hangin' out. These can save your life. Don't practice till you can do them, practice until you can't do them wrong; blindfolded, in the dark, when it's raining or snowing and so cold your fingers are numb. As Sean said, it's muscle memory. My fingers know how, even when my brain is in shut down mode. Humans have thumbs for a reason. Along with using fire, using cordage and knots is one of the things that separate us from the apes. Shelter first then fire, and knots are usually a big part of shelter. Hint: Most knots, if properly tied in the first place, should be just as easy to untie.

[@LHWinfo]

Comment mainly for support… that’s exactly how I do it. The only addition I make is a toggle in the loop at the end of the improvised trucker loop, to prevent my boot from errantly pulling it out.

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Looks like an excellent approach to tarp use. Straight up presentation as always. You are a good instructor.

[@billryland6199]

This method is much simpler than others I have seen. I need to practice it in the back yard.
