Seven Of My Favorite Camp Knots

[@o0WildTurkey0o]

I subscribed back when you made an outdoor shower, my wife and I still use the shower and are getting ready for another season of the outdoors with our 15 month old son.. who will be learning as I have from you. Thank you for your videos.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hey Lonnie...doing some research, watching videos by my favourite bushcrafter... discovered that these are the same knots I use most often...thank you

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Lonnie: Thanks Brings back memories of the late 1940s in Cubs (66th Toronto) The reef knot & the bowline, the rabbit goes up the hole around the tree & back down the hole. Thoroughly enjoy your series Brian nearing 76

[@TuckerSP2011]

Thanks for the unhurried presentation Lonnie, you can learn from a video like yours, you are not a show off, you're a true teacher.

[@DamianBloodstone]

Thanks for showing us the knots. I truly enjoy these videos you make. I'm soon going to have to go back to where you started and look at them all from that time forward. I knew these but had forgotten them. I don't believe I've used them since I was in my teens.

[@Dutch_Prepper]

I'm sick in bed with a terrible cold/flu... But luckily there's a new F.N.B.A.S. video to enjoy! Under the blankets with my laptop :o) Thanks Lonnie !

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Dutch Prepper Hey brother, hurry up and get well. Hope your recovery is rapid and complete

[@UDoIt2]

You remind me so much of Bob Ross and his demeanor and confidence while teaching others. This is a great video for the boy scouts.

[@kennixon6354]

thanks Lonnie now I can make my own tents with all the rope tricks you showed me just as strong as a House 2

[@joybickerstaff194]

Thank you Lonnie for doing these knots slow enough and with a good visual for me to learn exactly how to do them

[@daltonvickers7977]

You're knot foolin' around. Those are great knots to know and use. Thanks again for another great video

[@tompanetti75]

Thanks for the refresher Lonnie. Always a pleasure watching your talents. Hope you and yours, are mighty fine, and cozy. Take care of yourself. Later man. Tom

[@tallcedars2310]

Really enjoying this video. I need repetition and am able to watch your instruction and practice every few days. For years I have taken courses that use knots but without repetition, they are soon forgotten, lol. Have already used one knot and didn't have to think twice about how to tie it, thanks Lonnie.

[@bobbyharper8710]

Excellent knot selection, Lonnie. When setting out river fishlines I sometimes tie that Siberian Hitch 50 or more times a day. Even use it tying up the boat at the landing.

[@COMB0RICO]

I never thought to use fisherman's knot for necklace. Good stuff! Thanks from Texas.

[@cwerthen]

Thank you for sharing these and for going slow enough to follow. Always enjoy watching your videos. I'm practicing these this evening.

[@kravenmoorehead676]

Excellent! Always learn somethin' new with you! Thank you!

[@BCMountainMan67]

awesome video, Lonnie. seems the subject is never covered enough until we need the knowledge. keep them coming my friend! Mike

[@vanpat52]

it's always useful to see personal ways of makin knots. thanks Lonnie Regards from Belgium

[@jjjvclub]

Excellent knots to know!

[@Hylanda11800]

Hi Lonnie, this is like having our own personal bushcraft coach available 24/7, good knots and a good video thanks for sharing, take care because we care Duncan & Rebecca

[@nativeamericanwander]

Thank you for your videos I always enjoy them. I have learned quiet a lot. You all have the kind of videos everybody looks foward to. They are enjoyable and educational.Thank you. Look foward to the next one.

[@marycampbell2041]

I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks

[@Hoonozit]

Thank you sir for the lessons. Presently I use just a couple of knots in my life to tie anything that needs tying. I paused and practiced a couple more. The older I get the less I like using my teeth to loosen my knots. Thanks man. Oh and you may have noticed I'm pecking my keyboard more these days responding to the things I learn on youtube, thanks for your part in that as well.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Hoonozit Glad to see you commenting. :o)

[@MrNIKOLA1975]

Привет Лонни! Спасибо огромное за видео ! Я часто пользуюсь сибирским узлом . Очень практичный и удобный !!! Удачи!!!

[@joedaddy7925]

Another great vid! I can see this coming in handy. thanks Mr. Lonnie

[@dcsliving6722]

My knots are THE WORST! thanks for this video, I'll probably continue to refer to this video until I know them all by heart.

[@NorwegianWoods]

Thank you for reminding me I need to work on my knots.. :) - Martin

[@louisbecke2348]

Another good video from an excellent teacher.

[@ondrejsvec9729]

Great video, thank you! Greetings from Czech republic.

[@briancrabb4336]

Hey Lonnie, Just wanted to say thanks about the video you did on the 5 gallon steel bucket wood burning stove. I ended up building two because I liked the first one so much. Thanks a bunch. I appreciate all your work that goes into your video's. Your a wealth of information. Thanks again Brian

[@JayHelfrich]

Where were you able to get the steel buckets from?

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Brian Crabb That is awesome Brian. Glad you liked the stove construction instructions and that they have served you well.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Far North Bushcraft And Survival My steel buckets were ones I have had here around the house for many many years. I know you can buy empty 1 gallon steel buckets from a paint store. Perhaps you can do the same with the 5 gallon.

[@briancrabb4336]

+Jay Helfrich I got mine from work. If you call any oil service company they will probebly have one or two for you.

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Great knots video Lonnie, you have a way with explaining things that is easy to understand, cheers craig

[@8626John]

Nice, simple instructions. Thanks!

[@scottroberts7875]

[@virginiacopeland108]

A couple of new ones for me! Thanks, Clark

[@StyNorth]

All my favorite knots there Lonnie! Great video! Take care my friend :-)

[@bryanr.3241]

I wish some other you tubers would use that microphone Lonnie. That's why your videos are so professionally done , very classy my friend.

[@jimlahey8919]

Use these quite a bit when fishing, be it lobster , crab, cod etc. Such a good thing to know, and easy to learn for the most part. Something everyone should be informed about, sometime throughout a persons life they will of needed to use a knot of some type. Thank you for the video and keep them coming 👍👍👍

[@SurvivalLilly]

interesting knots, thanks for showing

[@shouldibehere]

+Survival Lilly Small world, Lilly. Im one of your subs. :)

[@daveagar5594]

really?

[@Waldhandwerk]

Cool Lonnie! Always good to know. Have a great Day my friend, Sepp

[@frankyeyna9500]

Thanks for the great shows and extra Knowledge !

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Hey Lonnie, I have been a long time subscriber. I finally had to comment. You are the first person to show a bowline in a way I can actually see and understand. Also great variety of other knots. Thanks so much for your guys efforts making these videos for us to educate ourselves with. Your simple, common sense approach is very much appreciated. Hope all is well up there, stay warm!

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Brandon Jenkis Glad the video helped.

[@davidossinger8183]

Couple of new ones there for me! Thanks.

[@sosteve9113]

I have several books on knots, and I use it maybe only five your last knot we use it when we are kids to make bracelets thanks for showing your kind of knots atb steve

[@bushygirlcharlie1883]

Hi there Lonnie sure love that flute music!

[@MegaXcal]

Thanks Lonnie... I started using the fishermans knot and love it for hanging around neck. Thank you very much for your video! DavidC

[@Christiantodd1]

Damn. lol.

[@saraskold9631]

Thanks for sharing the knots one I did not know will be practicing them all again

[@walterpalmer2749]

The Siberian Hitch is the predominant hitch for tying your haltered horses to a hitch rail. If your horse spooks or freaks out, you've a near immediate release.

[@MrNIKOLA1975]

Hi Lonnie ! Good day! Salute from the lumberjacks in Lapland ! Thank you for your video ! Very useful ! Good luck to you!

[@Appleblade]

Didn't know the Siberian Hitch .. great knot! Thanks!

[@Biglandtrapper]

Another informative video my friend, always well explained.........

[@CodyHoard253]

Great video! I am trying to get better with my knots so I will be back to reference this video.

[@matejhosner1980]

The moment you stepped to that tree I somehow knew which knot you'll do first. :) I know around 40 knots and use half of them regularly.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

From my younger days as a Boy Scout, I still remember the one-handed bowline (rescue knot) and a few others. I always wish I knew more. Thanks for the vid! Great editing btw, looks like a multi-camera shoot at times.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+EmpyreanLightASMR Yes you are right. It is a multi camera shoot. I just got a second camcorder so that I could show more detail easier when recording by myself (which is most of the time). This is the first video I used it on. However I am disappointed in the focus and color capabilities of the new camcorder. Will have to use it a time or two more to know for sure.

[@Dirtflicker]

Excellent video regarding survival knots there. Thank you sir.

[@tallcedars2310]

Using the fisherman's knot does make for a good lace around the neck. While at a wilderness camp we wore our Mora knives on a single piece of para cord around our neck. Those of us who didn't have collars found after a few days the cord was abrasive to the skin. An instructor then used the fisherman's knot to double up the para cord and the new and improved necklace is quite comfortable actually. Thanks to your video here, I can make necklaces for other items. All the best.

[@zchuss1]

If I am putting a knife or fire steel round my neck I have always used a slipped sheet bend

[@lillylu12]

Thank you for showing these skills

[@bushcraft_guy_]

Great stuff. I'm very glad you share your knowledge.

[@paulanderson388]

Great knots. I have seen some of them before but never knew what they were called. Thanks.

[@worddunlap]

Great knots. Practice is important with knot tying to make sure they can be tied when people need them. I'd be hard pressed to pick my favorites but the bowline and clove hitch get used the most. Well, besides tying shoes....

[@talkinglens1]

Thanks very much. Nice careful presentation.

[@yurinator7274]

Excellent video! Thanks.

[@azza-in_this_day_and_age]

great selection of knots for most tasks! also picked up a fine tip on preventing wind from muffling up the audio! such a champion beard will keep the audio clear in the windiest of weather, should be an essential piece of kit for those in filming =] thank you, to you and yours, for all your work

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Practice makes perfect when it comes to knot tying - some of the useful ones there Lonnie.

[@bobr8410]

Thanks for this, Lonnie... and for all of your inspiring videos.

[@lyndapayne1680]

FYI, I learned to tie a bowline from a slip knot. Made that knot easier to tie and more useful.

[@coydogoutdoors]

great demo of the prusik knot one of my favorites of all the camp knots

[@metalhipscamper1983]

We got it on the first (watch) of the video, I had a Hank of 550 for my son to follow along with you and he did very well

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Metalhipscamper That is awesome watching together and working with your son like that

[@Turnbull62]

The second knot looks like a variation on a truckers hitch I use a lot. Also use the farrimond hitch, a variation on the prussik knot for adjustable tarp guy lines. Sandy from Jacklore knives(akaWiltshire man) does a good demo on that one. Many thanks for all of the great stuff you put out. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I also enjoy using the Farrimond hitch.

[@Taromovies]

Good and useful knots Lonnie, thanks for sharing them and your opinions on it, wish you a great week, Taro

[@gray5627]

Thank you very much!! Great tutorial!

[@tiedemann8225]

Very useful. Thanks for sharing.

[@BjornAndreasBull-Hansen]

So that’s where you keep your microphone! I suspected you had it hidden in that glorious beard!

[@buggymak]

it's always a great moment for me to watch your videos..... very informative.... knowledge is priceless !!!!! thank you.

[@EdwinDueck]

I use about 4 knots, I don't know what the names are, but I can tie rope together and it works for me. Great video, I'll have to watch it again.

[@sosteve9113]

+Edwin Dueck know what you mean hahaha

[@Surago]

really need to start practicing my knots.

[@bugikraxn]

Hi Lonny, useful bunch of knots well presented - thanks. ATB. Franz, bugikraxn

[@jeromerouilleaux6013]

you explain very well how to make knots. all you video are realy great ;

[@garoglen]

Another good one , nice music .

[@paulwatterson5992]

Depending on the type of rope, a regular bowline can shake loose. Take a look at the Eskimo bowline it's a very elegant knot and more secure.

[@t.w.milburn8264]

'mornin, Lonnie; Alwasy informative watching & Learning from ya. I bought a lil cheat card way back when & still use it 2-day. some come 2 mind easily but still carry it. Thanks 4 another great video. Hello Connie & Ole-Friend Buck. ATB Terry God Bless

[@noblsht]

yes always interesting thanks for the video's

[@bcslife1915]

A pleasure to watch

[@jackstoener]

Very good! Thanks for the info, I am certain I will use it a lot.

[@survivalfuchsbr]

Hey Lonny, great knots !! Thanks, atb Brummer

[@BabakPA]

Thank you for sharing!!

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

Hi Lonnie! Great video Brother! Thanks!

[@dennissmith3201]

That's a great Video Lonnie, thank you very much!! guess I gotta work my knots out hahahahhaha

[@xenoptryx]

Thanks Lonnie.

[@SCHNEKM483BK]

One of the first things you learn in the "Boy Scouts" ,and/or farming.

[@victorcastle1840]

Thanks Lonnie and Connie, you also have the most beautiful intro. scenery . I have not found a vets even close to the one you have , with plenty of pockets ?? A man that has to use a cane, needs plenty of pockets. Pretty well ruins running the woods, but still have to get down by the creek and watch wildlife and build a fire in a nice fall evening. You two stay warm this winter.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

Thanks for the kind words. My vest is the "Deer Hunter" by "Outback Trading Company". www.amazon.com/Outback-Trading-Company-Hunter-Oilskin/dp/B00DYW8ANK

[@victorcastle1840]

Thanks Lonnie. Probably looks a lot better on you than it will me. Sure wish my health was better suited to travel, would love for my wife and I to sit down for coffee at the Fairbanks dinner with you and Connie. But that would be a treat all winter long . Both of you take care and stay warm this winter. Vic PS: I have to ask, have you by chance every ran into Heimo Korth ? I know they spend the summers South, in Ft. Yukon, but still a farther North than Fairbanks.

[@zchuss1]

I also use double dragon knot for the loop at the end of the line it is more secure as a bowline is not secure if it bounced over a period of time unless you seize it off... Hense double dragon is faster more secure and just as easy to untie

[@MossStoneWoodlore]

Great video Lonnie, thanks for sharing :)

[@grandwonder5858]

Up to my neck with knots, that's how frustrated I am! The only solution is to watch Lonnie tying more knots!

[@bahototh]

Thank You!

[@zchuss1]

I have over the last few months and putting varies knots to the test I have come to learn the kalmyk knot is far better for making a loop over the bowline. I also have found using a small stick (fiddlestick) I can join two ropes or make a loop that only requires me to pull the stick out to collapse the knot. If I am making a loop in the centre of a line I use a double dragon knot.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I have practiced with the Kalmyk knot in the past but it is like all knots for me, "use it or loose it" and so I had forgotten about it. However, I do agree with you that it is a knot well worth knowing. Not only is it a useful knot but is also quite easy to tie.

[@zchuss1]

I cannot agree with you more on that comment use it or loose it. I can recall maybe 50 knots that have been ingrained in my memory from my youth but ones I have learnt since come under the very comment you made.

[@zchuss1]

I prefer to use the double dragon knot in the middle of the line or a alpine butterfly... If I am against the clock I use an automatic truckers hitch with a slipped half hitch for security.

[@DkAcidFire]

Educational and interesting as always, thanks for another great video! =)

[@walterpalmer2749]

Only the "Have Knots" watch Lonnie, not the "Have-nots". Confused ? Lonnie makes it simple with the best unhurried (key word) explanations for knots on the web, for me. Thanks Lonnie.

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

+Walter Palmer lol I understood. :o)

[@patlowney2834]

Far North Bushcraft And Survival this brings back some memories of my 25-year commercial fishing career I worked on a shrimp trawler we used what's called a beam trawl net

[@mountainfox6412]
