Corporals Corner great

[@robroberson4944]

dang fine video. I came home to your video playing. my boys think your the greatest. we got out in the woods and we're making plow point shelters my oldest one was insisting that it be done a specific way because Mr. Corporal did it that way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being clear and easy to understand. most of all thanks for kid friendly content.

[@recall5811]

Thank you for the comment and support. there is nothing like family time in the woods. It is the single best thing that one can give or pass on and it will never be forgotten. Enjoy

[@MrPatrick7777]

Thank you for the very same reasons.

[@mikeadams2339]

I suck at this! Thanks for throwing a easy one!

[@coolman6233]

well said sir, my grandson and i njoy CC videos, hav fun w ur boys

[@USMC0352]

Just showed my Ukrainian troops the Plow point poncho shelter complete with the bowline, truckers hitch and Prussic knot. Good to go

[@tonyguerich9854]

Fantastic oldie popped up today on the feed. Thanks.

[@10mmfan36]

Finally figured out what it is about your instructive videos. Something I strive for at work. When I can work this way, sure makes the days smooth. You do things with an economy of words and movement. Efficiency. Lol, "smoothin it!"

[@fdjd28]

I like these rope, cordage and knot videos. I think of them as living, usable art. Thanks for another good video.

[@baron8107]

fdjd28 That, and climbing rope is just cool.

[@davidhutchison7567]

Really i cant underscore enough, how thankful I am of your time. I appreciate you

[@NWIE76]

Yup. Just sorted 60' of 10mil climbing rope thanks to this vid. Always carried it inside top of my ruck but have it stowed away outside now. Much better. Thank god ya didn't cook on this one, 0025 hrs here now lol! Cheers Brother, Respect Salute and stay safe.

[@mlsknnr]

I appreciate the fact that you use bright colored line for all your demonstrations, I know that it makes the visual for those are here to learn easier to see and follow. I have been told as much by those that I refer to your videos. Another great video, keep up the good work.

There was a piece of rope that was laying in the garage for more than 10 years. After this video I had to go get it, wash it and make the Alpine coil :-)

[@jamesreed6558]

I find your videos on knots easier to follow than most. Thanks for the videos.

[@alexanderweaver4838]

My notebook is filling up after watching a third video of yours. This one is particularly valuable to me as I prefer to use rope for my tarp ridgeline; using 550 for my Prusik knots. Rope comes in handy for rescue efforts plus many other uses. However, I have difficulty getting it back into a neat bundle or carrying form. Most times I just cram it into an empty stuff sack after use. When I get home I use a "rewind board" I made with a 2X4 and pegs. Wow, the end wrap is cool, almost like wrapping a knife handle with 550. Thank you, sir! Semper Fi.

[@marksaint2936]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm dyslexic and have horrible time with rope. This video is the best I've seen from anyone! Now, this would be the best rope video ever if it just had bacon and popcorn.

[@paulmcdonald1968]

Just hit it once again for a refresher. Well done, well explained. A reference for all time.

[@heneryslayzack1271]

you have a great no nonsense approach . every video is great and a learning experience

[@guzman-do]

You deserve likes in all your videos. Very useful survival skills. Thanks for uploading.

[@TeamAnbu65]

Best channel on KZbin, all videos you make are very informative and even the folks that have a hard time learning from videos can easily learn from this in no time.

[@joelvansickle3623]

Thank you for serving our country and thank you for your videos. God bless you brother

[@joeygoins8215]

Awesome job on all your videos. Thank you for your service to our country.

[@erfmfre9692]

Brother you consistently put out some of the best PMIs on the net and I appreciate it. I’m sure that your EAS was a loss to our Corps. Don’t ever change. Semper Fidelis /Jase

[@InspireCreativity2023]

Hi. Just wanted to say that as a entry-level Climber that recently stumbled across your channel, Im loving what you are doing here! You have a great straight-forward way of explaining things that make it easy to understand. Keep making these great videos!

[@vanwhalen3719]

In one way ,thats the same way that my father taught me to wrap a cord from an angle grinder or a similar power tool .I never thought about using that method to keep my rope contained . Now I will ! Thanks for sharing ! Too cool!

[@pappysplace1607]

Thanks as always Corporal. first time seeing this setup. Will be training and putting to good use. Outstanding!

[@Sortafly70]

2020 and I'm still learning tons of useful stuff from this channel. Respect...

[@angeluberto2091]

Thank you for the informative video, a simple yet very effective method for porting thick cordage/rope. The cross chest carry method is most often seen but really liked the Rucksack wrap approach.

[@pplrstrange]

Thank you. In the past I just burned my rope to ash, coffee canned it and glued it back together in the field. This is better. Thanks.

[@MrWmburr7]

Thank you, Corporal, for yet another great tip. Also thank you for your service. Semper Fi.

[@michaeloppenheimer2582]

Thank you I always wanted to learn how to do a Swiss loop, I've used other carrying methods but not the supposed to do and the Swiss loop always impressed me as being a much simpler and easier way of caring rope!!!

[@falatoronto]

There is something relaxing about these videos.

[@troykleinebreil7836]

It's just crazy the... things I learn. Thanks for another lesson.

[@123colinfrost]

Great video, simple, practical and squared away.

[@dalefarver115]

Great video , I do mine by setting with the bottoms of my feet together , but it comes out the same . Thanks for all ways showing other ways of doing things

[@JDK45ACP]

Always good to revisit great videos.

[@nightshade1423]

that's a great vid corp we holiday in Northern Italy sometimes when you cross in to Switzerland you see these Swiss chaps with rope like that.. not the most friendliest.. but better than the french

[@ThePBSamuel]

We are friendly, and we do not carry rope like that.

[@Inuhanyou84]

Thanks! I watched this and learned a more efficient way to carry my cordage.

[@dinkeredwards5187]

One of the best on youtube no doubt hands down👍Even a little heavy metal for back ground music!!

[@shyamlynn243]

Great, thank you!! You've taught me alot of good stuff. I appreciate that very much!

[@stephaniegarfield552]

Great ideas on coiling rope. I never knew.

[@jamespence9469]

Ranger School 101. Had to do something with those 120 ft climbing ropes used for rope bridges in the mountains and florida

[@simplemanduke7128]

Thank you for your time and effort into to making this video. Very informative

[@mattbec]

Still useful in 2022! Glad I found this!

[@ArtDevil85]

Thank you! always wanted to learn that method

[@traveler7249]

Congratulations on the 1M subscribers.

[@Sydneywizard]

I learn something new every time.

[@landengreene4681]

Isn’t this the same method used by the recon Marine on the old recruiting poster?

[@kevinedward1234]

Corporal, great video!!!!

[@AircraftTurnAndBurn]

Nice vid love your uploads

[@jeffhunter4395]

Are you glad the snow finally melted away? Now I can get back up in the woods.Thx's for the rope tip.

[@burstfireno1617]

Like your videos. Have learned a lot. Subbed :)

[@Casper1907]

Hi Corporal :), just a question. ...how do you uncoil that rope when you need it? It seems that ine end of rope is locked with another end so none of them will unravel the rope. ..

[@puffthemagiclepton7534]

When you uncoil the rope you should do it one loop at a time otherwise it will be a tangled mess with this particular coil.

[@asd67lkj]

The way you are tying off the rope looks much like a common whipping? Thanks for showing.

[@johnniemagallanes3141]

Amazing video as always!! What pack are you using?? That’s a good size pack I could keep in my truck

[@jdc31947]

NICE INFORMATIVE VIDEO. WAS WONDERING, WHAT IS THAT ROPE THAT YOU ARE USING, MADE OF? NYLON, POLYESTER, ETC. THANKS

[@MasterK9Trainer]

Cool. Easy to do, but very practical and if we're honest about it, it makes you look like you know what the hell you're doing. And we all want to be that guy :)

[@dlighted8861]

Just to let you know I put together a prussic knot using ear bud wires and a stir stick. First step was an untightened larks head around the stick then two extra turns with the free ends. It worked like a charm. If I can do it with twisty wires then using real cordage should be a breeze.😉

[@austin3115]

hey there, great vids, great content, thanks

[@FailClanLP]

Thank you, great tutorial. 👍

[@shovelhead8]

Another useful instruction to file away. Thank you

[@dawnarmstrong4441]

[@jordanzafiriou6407]

Is it easy to do for the first time I love your videos very useful skills keep the videos rolling in and the like and the subscribes

[@sherriwilson8120]

Thanks for showing that method.

[@fabianleguel2960]

Awesome just like when I was in armed forces ,nice refreshing man!!,😎😎

[@dinkeredwards5187]

Excellent. ..👍 Now im good to go..😉

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Great way for wrapping up cordage

[@dlighted8861]

Did you say break strength of 4200 pounds? 😮 Tow semi trailers much? 😀 Thanks I have always had an issue securing looped cordage. Having rope around my neck would give me the heeby jeebys but that knee method is great. It bugs me to acquire soso cordage but that is all we have around here. If I don't practice that skill right away it won't lodge itself in the dusty attic called my mind.🤗 Do you have video on rewrapping lengths of paracord?

[@voltorpuig]

Hola des de España ,me parecen una pasa tus vídeos, creo que son más claros que e visto y eso que mi nivel de inglés es muy basico

[@Fidget544]

What is the easiest way to un tie that? To utilize it.

[@jwmmitch]

Not that I have rope over 100', but I'm curious what method to use for that?

[@muddog1561]

Good tutorial, thanks.

[@geoffdickey3761]

As much as it is raining in your videos I would think you are filming on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.

[@moskito184]

Great idee. Thank you!! Go on!

[@jamestheeggplant5446]

Can this be done with a power cord?

[@DonnieBigBucks]

Hey man, kind of off topic, but what do you think about your Casio G-Shock? I destroy watches like it's my job, and need something that can take abuse. Thanks for all of these great videos, they are concise and informative. I look forward to watching more! Take care, man!

[@recall5811]

[@edgarrasetentayocho9531]

Muy buen punto👍💪

[@SHADOWMOSESGARAGE919]

Where would such a high break strength cordage be bought sir?

[@ISLANDOUTDOORS1]

Nice video, a usgi caribener would go nicely with that rope.

[@baron8107]

ISLANDOUTDOORS1 The military uses its own Carabiniers?

[@ISLANDOUTDOORS1]

I remember seeing it when I was looking at the old ALICE equipment. They had to have a 100' hank of 3/8" rope and 1 usgi carabiner.

[@baron8107]

ISLANDOUTDOORS1 I don't think they do that anymore. Climbing with a pack like that is much too dangerous.

[@ISLANDOUTDOORS1]

You would have to ask Scowler, he said that. All I know is that at one time they were issued a hank of rope, and climbing rated carabiner. Seems like a good combo to me! :)

[@rangerman375]

2 biners and enough flat webbing to make a swiss seat. Ropes are usually a squad item, 3 200' ropes can solve most issues. You're usually not climbing with the pack, you climb then hoist the packs as one biner is on the top of the ruck frame. Also lets you snap the ruck centerline on the zodiac if you're doing water ops, so a capsize doesn't mean you're having to go ruck fishing...

[@wildcampingthehaggishunter2198]

Was wondering what jacket you have on is it gortex?

[@torjones1701]

Another great how-to video! :) But... what's the benefit of an alpine coil? Why would I want to do this instead of hanking the rope?

[@recall5811]

It is one way of carrying rope on your body, if you want to hank it then go with a butterfly coil

[@chrisaitken4192]

Thanks for the training, appreciate it. Where do you film? It looks gorgeous there.

[@recall5811]

I film in the PNW

[@carlisgrigg6355]

Always wondered how to do that

[@paulfroelich1024]

Were you ever an instructor at Bridgeport?

[@burstfireno1617]

These ropes are also availabe on aliexpress, would you recommend it for rappel, quality? Have you tryied it?

[@thexpanda1]

What is your preferred method for carrying over 100ft of rope? That would be an excellent companion video. As always, thanks for the knowledge, your vids rock!

[@recall5811]

I do not need anything over 100 ft for what I do. Thanks for watching

[@nancykim1714]

Alpine butterfly coil is my go-to for 50m ropes and longer. You can wear the rope backpack style as well with the butterfly.

[@2adamast]

The alternative was back then to wrap around knee and foot, the only moment a shoe could touch a rope.

[@AlexT-md9df]

Thanks for the video, I can't wait to add rope to my pack. What kind of jacket is that? Every time I see your videos you remind me of Marcus Fenix from Gears of War

[@briflemn]

[@jherbranson]

This is a great video. I've been looking for a storage knot for my ropes. One suggestion, you could use an alternating twist gatering each loop of rope in the beginning when you are coiling the main body of rope. This way you can simply throw the rope out when you're ready to use, and it will have zero twists along its length. And Thanks!

[@damacliese8462]

[@casey45289]

It’s not a ruck sack, it’s an assault pack. They’re meant for shorter forays. Search “assault pack” on amazon and you can probably find the same pack for much cheaper than a ruck.

[@johnlord8337]

excellent.

[@johnhutsenpillerjr1785]
