Thanks

[@knyazhefilms2154]

I’ve seen many videos after yours and came back to tell you that yours are top quality. Thank you.

[@kenbreetz]

Why aren't there more views on this video? This is survival video gold! I have been using the truckers hitch instead of ratchet straps for years to secure loads on trailers, to run a ridgeline for a tarp over my Jon boat, and it has been a valuable tool. The jam knots are good for squeezing shoes together to pack tighter in my luggage, to hold tightly rolled cloths together and on and on. Every have to carry a water bottle in a park or while hiking with no place to store it? Use a jam knot just under the cap and a bowline at the end to carry it. These knots are useful in everyday life. Once you know them, you'd be surprised how they many uses you will find.

[@RoRockerB]

You know a teacher is good when the student can feel like they could do it confidently. The simplicity along with variation shown for multiple applications with a handful of knots, lashes and flaps is incredible! I think this is a must for ALL to learn, young and old! Thank you sir! I'm going to teach and share this to my soon to be 3 year old daughter! Who'll have an outstanding practical and useful knowledge when she's a lil older! This is a most awesome KZbin channel!!

[@Jerichoom]

This channel and video series on knots and lashes should be the goto for any outdoor enthusiast. It's a crime that it has not had over a million views at this point! Many thanks Sir for making these and others, it's really easy to follow and the philosophy of knowing a handful of knots and how they come together to cover 99% of use cases is a great principle. I salute you.

[@1loquaciouslass3]

Thanks, Sean! Using this for my son's homeschool... you're the best teacher around for important tasks. Thanks again!

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

Outstanding! For all experienced campers, or new campers, learning these knots will greatly improve your ability to survive and thrive in a camping environment.

[@michaeloneal7982]

I've been teaching knots for 60 years give or take. Most don't come close to the way you explain each knot. I have not seen you tie a single knot incorrectly. Spot on. Love the way you usually show more than one way to tie each knot. Clifford W. Ashley would approve. Outstanding, Semper Fi Brother.

[@recall5811]

It’s the OCD, lol. Thanks for watching

[@fakecubed]

You're accurate, thorough, but you don't waste our time. I especially appreciate real world use examples.

[@dianabenobo]

60 years! You sure don't look that old! Knots in thyme and permetherin have been good to you!

[@paulmcdonald1968]

It looks like it's been a while since anyone commented here... But let me say, these lessons are timeless. Review them. Outstanding job!

[@paulbarrett3361]

Thanks Shawn on this knot video, I used a fishermans knot as a boiling at work to connect two air hoses together. Learning your way has toughy me how to tie the bouline properly. After Thirty years underground you've taught how to tie a boiling properly. Thanks for your skills, you are a teacher not an instructor. a teacher makes sure you learn the skill, an instructor instructs how to learn but not always learning what he is teaching. Thanks so very much for your teaching because I actually learned these knots with your teaching skills. I pray that you always are successful in all of what you do. Your student Paul Barrett.

[@ramblersnook]

Hello Shawn, I've seen several of your videos on the channel and I want to say thank you so much for putting them all together. I am from India and do go on Himalayan exploration trails in Indian Himalayas. Your videos have helped and inspired me significantly and reduced hiccups on the trails largely, especially set up a quick shelter until tents are pitched using the bowline with quick release and truckers hitch. Collating firewood for campfire using timber hitch, hanging backpacks on a tree using merlin spike hitch, the list goes on. So Thank you for taking the efforts to put everything together in a channel. May you hit many more subscribers who also are benefited from your knowledge. Best, Girish

[@KahlestEnoch]

Thanks for the lessons in knots and lashes, I never had the opportunity to learn this stuff as a kid so I really appreciate these videos.

[@jonas6386]

The taut-line hitch at 4:40 is very neat! There have been many situations in the past where a knot with this kind of property would have been useful for me, thanks for showing! One of my favourite knots is the "constrictor knot" which is very similar to the clove hitch and, just like the clove hitch, can be tied in two different ways. Once tightened, it will remain very tight (as the name suggests) and it is harder to undo than the clove hitch. However, if one end is folded to create a loop, it can be combined with a quick release mechanism to make it easy to undo. I like to use it for holding things together temporarily, closing bags tightly and to attach a line to a tarp that has no eyelets and I cannot find smooth stone to create a tying point.

[@shadow0966]

I cannot thank you enough for all your videos , I have learnt so much ! 👍👍👍

[@rogerdrake5374]

THANKS SEAN.....WISH I HAD KNOWN THESE SKILLS A LONG LONG TIME AGO. MIGHT HAVE MADE SOME OF MY TIMES A LOT EASIER . YOU ARE AN EXCELLANT TEACHER . THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ! AWESOME !

[@johnfurlong6239]

Thank you for the great instruction. Even if I already use these knots daily at work, sure is nice to get refresher courses from someone who teaches with precision fluidity. You're a beast, corporal.

[@juanitagreenspan5412]

Thanks so much. The 2 videos really helped cement the ideas of ways to use the knots, etc.

[@casualpreparedness2347]

I have actually tied several of these knots just by figuring them out but didn't know the official name of them. Thanks again for your time and this information.

[@KWhiteCET]

Thanks. Great tool for teaching my son who is working on lashings for his BSA First Class rank. Can't wait to get outside and build something with him.

[@TarqPick]

Great array of knots and hitches. You chose well. You've done really well in this video to show absolute beginners the five or six most important knots, and you included how they might be used so that they have something to practice with. You did really well, Corporal Kelly.

[@scvgyn]

Now we want parts 3 and 4. thanks a lot.

[@scarletNbloom]

Thanks so much for the great videos and being an excellent teacher. I used the timber hitch and marlin spike hitch just today to drag a nice big dead standing hickory out of the woods. It worked so well that my cardio gave out before my muscles did (usually the opposite) and I had to sit down and experience exercise induced nausea for the first time since highschool. LoL. Will wait longer after breakfast next time before going wood hunting.

[@robertlundquist5450]

Thanks. More ideas of what knots/hitches to teach my grandsons. Keep teaching.

[@per_sev]

I like that you actually show practical field use of these hitches, lashes, and knots, and that you demonstrate how to make them in the field, instead of in some sterile environment, without any context of what they're good for. Both videos were great.

[@terryqueen3233]

Thank you so much for the refresher course I needed that. Have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!

[@symmetrytanner5156]

I have seen these knots tied many times but could never follow the steps. For some reason each step is clear in your videos. Thank you so much! I'm not hopeless!!

[@andrewplaysoutside]

Hey there Cpl. Kelly. Thanks for showing more than 1 way to achieve the result (and thanks for going slow!). Sometimes I can't wrap my brain around the first method, and it's good to have another option. Time to go practice, practice, practice!

[@dalefarver115]

I have been doing knots and lashings for over 45 years and that was a great lession .

[@mikewolff2432]

Corporal you rock... Best knot making instruction I saw... especially for the outdoors.

[@recall5811]

Thank you,please share my videos and channel with others so that we can continue channel growth, and thanks for watching

[@Smootus]

Great instructions and easy to understand and use! I learned all these knots with hemp rope so no burning. However we had an old scoutmaster that would tack a finishing nail through the rope into the wood of the lash. He was so serious about tight frapping that he would scare some of the younger boys. We built a 22 foot tall signal tower out of poles and ropes. It lasted a couple of years before the ropes rotted. Well done video and excellent information. Thanks for posting this video!

[@glynnellis5050]

Thank you Corporal...

[@strangebird64]

Mr. Kelly! I have been watching your very informative videos for a few weeks now. Non-stop! You are awesome. An excellent instructor. I'd like to know more about your Pathfinder School. You are the man!

[@thedoorguycharlie]

Thank you Kelly. I've learned so much from you. Your dexterity is amazing.

[@louisroy9348]

Hello Corporal, I'm really learning and enjoying your knot and lashing videos. I'm stuck home on the couch all week with a bad ankle and have been binge watching your channel. Shine on

[@lolllllll]

You deserve twice the subs you have man, seriously. You have such valuable content and helpful information with a fantastic yet simplistic way of explaining things. Thank you for all you do bro, this information is literally life saving

[@Vares65]

Outstanding video! I've been watching your videos for about a week now and I've learned more from them than all the books I've read over the years. You have a gift for teaching that makes your demonstrations clear and concise, which makes the things I've read sudden clear and easy to understand. Thanks for all your work making these excellent videos, they are much appreciated. I figure you'll get a laugh out of the fact that a coworker asked me yesterday why I've started saying things were "good to go!"

[@larryn8]

Thank you for using close up views so we can understand the knots easily.

[@jamestarpy4422]

Let's get Corporals Corner back at the top of the lists

[@georgelaurie3587]

I've got most of these but I'm still practicing them all I'm working on that truckers hitch i still screw it up when trying to do it quickly but it's coming along nicely thanx for the tips and tricks keep up the good work its outstanding semper fi jarhead

[@squirrelsaga949]

Hey I had a buckle fall off my sling pack. So I grabbed me some paracord and used the bowline knot at the d-ring and a slip knot to hook the buckle up near the d-ring. Works great. Would have never been able to get that done without learning those knots. So thanks again for taking your time to teach the knowledge you have.

[@jonathangivens1633]

Did my first frapping today around ends of eyes I weaved in.liked the looks of it. Then it occoured to me I can frap bright colored cord every 2 ft and use it as an improvised measuring device, as I lift stuff on the roofs(HVAC tech), and need to know various distances for cranes. Thanks so much for what you do, corporal.

[@TACHILL]

So right about muscle memory! I love how thorough you are in what you do an the way you film. Most excellent seriers and video bro!

[@cmargheimable]

That was good to go. You have revolutionized my Ridgeline system

[@vancemccolm6309]

Excellent video... Knots are so useful and can make the difference.

[@paigehawkins1945]

Wish I could show you a vid of me doing an improved clinch knot with only one wrap per side. It’s like the fisherman’s knot/ jam knot but much much faster to tie and to get untied if need be. As long as it has pressure it ain’t going anywhere. I’ve learned a lot from you brotha and my dictionary of knots has grown in volume!!!👍👍👍

[@paigehawkins1945]

Not an improved clinch knot but the cinch knot.

[@1sakguy]

This was a great refresher for an old Boy Scout.

[@arsenemercere8059]

Thanks for this! Also, congrats on the mention on Primitive Technology! Expect your channel to explode.

[@45s262]

I went winter camping for 2 days with my 2 boys and just got back. I used some techniques for tarp shelter and lashes for tripod. I was thinking how much I've learned from your channel though applied in very basic scenarios it still was very helpful. And some nuances only learned through trial and error. It ain't as easy as it looks. But It was a blast . I'd do it all again- especially if meant I could get half my thumb back... My tent leaked with condensation big time- 4 season snugpak cave?? Don't know what that was about. 20 degree and rained whole time....

[@heyphilphil]

I agree you should only really learn by heart the most important knots hitches and bends. I think the top 5 knots...hitches and bends. Is a good idea to learn....because when you learn the top let's say 15 knots you start to learn knot theory and how they are inter related....then you can combine knots for certain situations. Even make existing knots stronger or safer....when you do that your options increase which is good for survival. Just pick a knot keep a small bit or paracord in your pocket and tie the sh** out of that knot till you can do it with your eyes closed....everyone's got time. I learned the top 25 knots by heart in a year by just having a small rope in my pockets where ever I went. And Tyed them when I was at a stop light...in between jobs...or even taking a sh**. Just pick one and tie the f out of it then move on to the next.....was else are you doing when you are taking a sh**...playing with your phone tie some knots stupid!

[@southernwanderer7912]

This is the type of video you bookmark for future reference. Thank you.

[@southernwanderer7912]

I forgot to say future reference for practice as well.

[@augustulrikkeholm6070]

Hey Corporal. Fantastic video, simple and helpful. I was wondering when to use the diagonal lashing and when to use the square lashing, as they seem quite interchangeable and similar /Support from Denmark

[@Dacoyoteman]

Outstanding as always!

[@suzannebeaudry6245]

Thanks for showing us where you use these knots.

[@MachinaOpus]

Thank you for posting this. I'm a recent sub and enjoying going back through your videos. I'm learning a lot. I really liked your roman concrete video. Great variety of information.

[@treadway47025]

Good job on your videos on your channel. Recently added to my channel list. Enjoying the videos.

[@gordonmiller4439]

Nice job with the instruction Corporal K!

[@lucyintheskywithdiamonds4034]

that's pretty cool - i learned something here for real. i like that.... actually learning something. thanks!

[@fattytfrompsd3901]

#1&2 are my go-to pre camping and hiking videos. Always good to have a refresher. Is there a functional/durability difference between the square and diagonal lashing?

[@jeremyvoshage2410]

Great Videos. Do you have a favorite type of cord to use for most your knot videos? A demo of all the different types of cord/rope would be a very educational video. I recently made the mistake of ordering cord that was much to stiff for random everyday use.

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for the information , we are never too old to learn something useful !

[@davem4193]

Outstanding Corporal, thanks!

[@calebspence9552]

Excellent!!

[@squirrelsaga949]

By the way I love your videos. I have been practicing my knots. Your information is invaluable to me.

[@shawnr771]

Good stuff. Great practical knowledge.

[@joshvicini4148]

Another great one, thanks Cpl!

[@EmanuelsWorkbench]

Could you make a video explaining the various kinds/types of cordage, paracord and rope that you use? What should be packed in your essentials?

[@you12011]

Great work . thanks for detail captures.

[@mavision6525]

Great instructional video.

[@Felipera_]

A good rule of thumb is make your knots look pretty. For aesthetics? No. A neat looking knot is one that does not waste materials by bloating it up, is not lose and therefore holds properly as it should and a good visual balance indicates all pieces are under equal tension, and, finally, a well organized knot is easier to undo when the time comes.

[@kruschpeter3161]

Remek videó. Üdvözlet Magyarországról.

[@45422]

Real good. Appreciate it. Keep on keepin' on.

[@williamkeil8414]

Excellent video as always

[@martinkrenn362]

Thanks Corporal! Very good explanation.√

[@Surefootsurvival]

An easy follow along video. Great video series

[@mariannemerkus4642]

Great video thanks greetings from Holland

[@hessa7933]

Love your videos... especially the recent ones on hitches lashes and knots. I am curious about how you decide what type of rope to use for each job. It looks like the black rope is tarred bank line? If it is could you tell me what gauge and if it's something else could you share what it is?I would love to see a video about what type of rope lends itself to specific applications... type of rope, diameter, etc.Everyone seems to rave about paracord...but it's stretchy and sags under load... unless I'm not tying my knots right?? Would love to hear feedback

[@kelvinporter6663]

Awesome job!

[@nickslyrics3291]

I like tying knots..always have... Cep now... I can do them PROPERLY. 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️😁

[@hondaridgelineenduser5934]

I enjoy the video thank you, rope work isn't my stronghold I hope to get better someday and I practice twice a week

[@gregjohnson9983]

Excellent knot videos. What part of the country are you coming in? I'm getting ready to try some dispersed camping in West Virginia and it looks like similar environment. I like this one cause you give great examples of what each knot/lashing gets used for.

[@marccarpe9750]

Question: if you use a box cut to seat the two pieces together is frapping still needed? I would think it would cause unwanted separation.

[@chiefkirk]

Great info pal. Thanks for sharing.

[@lucyintheskywithdiamonds4034]

that's very very very good! i thumbed it up for sure. thank you!

[@jamesmangan6882]

Another great video.

[@larryharlson3721]

Good information on knots.Thank you.

[@JW-nk5hu]

Super Usefull !!! Take Care.

[@50StichesSteel]

Whats your favorite knot for single rope rappel? Say tying off to a single tree?

[@MARRRRC0P0L0]

Awesome, thank you.

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I have a question. When making these lashings should we use more than three to five wraps and fraps the more we weigh?? ❤️❤️❤️

[@arlenestanton9955]

I love your work, very neat.

[@colemanherefords7321]

Bravo ,bravo corporal nice video thanks for all you do.

[@frankmcleod2503]

Hi. When would you use a diagonal lash over a square, is it when ever angle is not 90. Thanks

[@LeatherNeck-0331]

Nice, good series Corporal enjoyed the close ups. Thanks,Semper Fi brother

[@neemancallender9092]

nice to see knots taught that i learned in Boy Scouts 55 years ago

[@TheBcrug]

Added fun, when you know you got it down ,do them in the dark. It happens out doors every day.

[@charlessaville8418]

Down to earth real world uses thanks

[@AFamilyOutdoors]

Great video!

[@charleschrismon9482]

How do you know which one to use on what application the square lashing or the diagonal lashing?

[@maricaplasmans6061]

Nicely show and explained, but when do you choose for diagonal or square lashing?(critiraibased) My translation to dutch is bugged.

[@recall5811]

They are versatile, however if the logs are perpendicular to each other use the square lash if they are slanted or diagonal us the diagonal lash. Thanks for watching

[@maricaplasmans6061]

Perpendicular had to translate that. But got it. Thanks for the quick response.

[@RoostedFilms]

Thank you sir. One question please, what size bank line is that you are using to lash and make Your prusik knots. Thanks again for all your great info and time.

[@recall5811]

#36. Go to my amazon influencer page on my main YT page. Thanks for watching

[@hanmenglee6807]

Interesting. How did you tie that poncho bed taut ?
