The Incredible Bushcraft Usefulness Of Cordage With Toggles

[@singingtoad]

Bushcraft Gandalf just referred to Felix Immler as being a 'Wizard'. That's a pretty high compliment from the senior most member of Bushcraft Wizardry...lol

I began this journey, when I met you on KZbin Mr Lonnie. From you, begot Blackie Thomas of Shamans Forge, whom begot Shawn Kelly of Corporal's Corner and Felix Immler. All because of KZbin I can finally tie my shoes. Thank you Mr Lonnie, for you're real life adventures with your partner the lovely Miss Connie. She is dynamite, and can cook!

Lonnie, You ,my brother, have no idea how much I have wanted exactly this video!!! I will go back to this video several times till I get these Knots down!!! Thank the Lord!!! I will now be Able to use these knots & Toggles!!! 😀😁😅

[@Flashahol]

This is the best, most complete, up-to-date and comprehensive toggle video out there at this date. Thank you Lonnie, I learned a few new tricks and re-learned some more. I believe Felix has a PhD in SAKs.

[@Rick1dat]

You may have had this idea or someone may have already said something. So here it is, you write a book on knots just like you have done here and Connie writes one on her cooking. I try keeping all this in mind and even write it down sometimes but then I forget it or put it in the trash. So you'd be helping me and many many other knuckle heads like myself. With a book I can keep in my pack. Thanks too both of you for the enjoyment I have had over the years. Stay safe.

Great show of how to use toggles .there's alot of ppl don't use them . They just don't know how . Say hi to Connie pls

[@davidkenworthy2403]

I have followed Felix Immler for quite a while, his tips on sharpening an Axe or Hatchet using a file and a rag blew my mind when I tried it! His accent is heavey but his English has come along ways from two year ago! He is like a big boy scout! He has a lot of fun making his videos too! I think Slyder28 has a great Idea for a mug, or "Hi I'm Lonnie"

My most used knots. The marlin spike hitch, and the prusic knot, the surgeons loop, and the truckers hitch.

[@markcoffman9522]

The "climbing knot" you referred to is a Marline Spike hitch, very useful as demonstrated. The Klemheist hitch is most commonly used for mountain climbing and can be used to ascend just a hanging rope. Thanks for sharing, bush planes are common over my head too, so no worries there. Be Safe, and please continue to share with us your tips and trips.

Hello Lonnie, I am glad that you like my idea so much. Since I was a child I wanted to go to Canada once. Even wanted to emigrate before. But it didn't work out because of the real estate crisis in the USA. So I went to Switzerland. Thanks to the rope tensioner and felix, a nice subscriber from Canada has invited me to bushcraft in the Rocky Mountains! I'm so happy. I could never have done it alone. Wants to see real life and not hotels. This is how life can go sometimes! I could almost visit you ;-) Greetings Detlef ..

If you do happen to get over to our section of Alaska maybe we could get together. The airports that out of state travelers fly into are quite a distance from where we live. Anchorage is the closest. We only get into Anchorage once or twice a year on average because of the expense of driving there.
