    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.

    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.

    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.😉

    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
      @puffthemagiclepton7534 3 роки тому +1

      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.

    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.🤗

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

    • @ISLANDOUTDOORS1
      @ISLANDOUTDOORS1 7 років тому +1

      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
      @rangerman375 7 років тому +4

      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...
