- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- IN THIS LESSON WE WILL TALK ON A FIXED SET OF CORDS MADE TO A GIVEN SIZE AND MADE TO WORK TOGETHER AS A UNIT. EACH PART CAN BE JOINED TO THE OTHERS TO FORM A MUCH LONGER CORD IF THE SITUATION DEMANDS IT. IN THE RECENT PAST I SPOKE OF A QUICK DEPLOY RIDGELINE IN THIS ONE I WILL TALK ON WHY I HAVE CHANGED MY VIEWS ON THAT ITEM.

thanks you for your support please leave a comment if you want me to cover a topic .
Blackie I'm trying to get in touch with u I want to order ur blackbird 2
Talk to us about when you might want to use something as strong as nylon but without the stretch. I've been using 1/2" Mule Tape for my hammock ridge line, but I need to incorporate some of these refinements. Awesome stuff, but quite a bit bulkier than your long line. Do you ever use Dyneema/Kevlar or three strand twisted poly? Seems like the latter is a ready made twist tie... Thanks for what you do for us!
I want to First say thank you for what you do!
For many years I have cut line for what I needed to use it. Watching Dave Canterbury, him referencing your channel, you both have given me, the extra knowledge on cordage to help me understand better to teach young scouts and helpful tips to use out doors. I love knots and courage.
Thank you again for making your videos they are very knowledgeable and helpful for my use as well as in tracking.
The zip ties and the bigger one are great ideas brother
I will never look at paracord the same way again.. thx for all the great ideas
Thanks. Getting started on getting my cordage management system created.
Thank you Blackie for some great information and to help us silver wolf's your information is the best I have struggled with ridge lines and knots and now you have made it very clear easypesy lemon squeeze.thank you once again Blackie 👍.
You are so welcome
Blackie, Great Video and Outstanding Information. Always thinking how to make it better and easier. Thanks Again for sharing Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and Experience and Passing on the Craft.
Glad you enjoyed it
This is the British army way of life. Two lengthy sets of cord which can be attached to any loop, For a basha. Plus a full ridge line for hanging boots and drying
Great video because it addresses the 5 P’s.
Two thoughts: 6 is a magic number in lengths. So 6, 12, 18 and 24 foot lengths should be prevalent which you do by joining the toggle cords.
Second thought is a small monkey’s paw that can be soft shackled as a weight for casting a long line. For a bear bag or attach to the penny mod on a hootch.
Good point!
Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
#libertyrising
Amen
Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 thank you for your time to make these videos, you should make the Blackbird toggles before Dave produces them out of heaven duty plastic, just a thought. Muchly appreciated, thank you.
Sounds great!
Amazing video I'm gonna have to watch it several times to hopefully catch all the great info you shared.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Blackie- Your cord management is very organized and is a good thing. I also have a few different lengths of extra cord on hand. Having the extra toggle lines is a definite must in my opinion and a bag of misc lengths is also very handy to have. Thanks for another video and passing on the knowledge. Be safe out there-
thanks for the visit
Thank you Blackie, great video. This will help me get better organized.
Glad to hear it!
Great system you have there! Thanks! A lot better than my ditty bag full of spaghetti (paracord) that I take camping 😆👍👍
thank you
Thank you that will be very useful for everyday and so beyond!
You're so welcome!
Brilliant, this is a game changer! Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thanks for another very informative video. Great information. I appreciate you brother!
I appreciate that!
Awesome video my friend
That’s an excellent system!
Great video I really appreciate the way you make things simple and easy to understand, could you make a video on making a survival bow and arrow kit
Good stuff. 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
Great ideas Blackie!! It is obvious you put a lot of research and thought into cordage. I also use the different collars with my cordage but need to build twist ties and soft shackles.
thanks for watching
You need some jute twine also .SO many uses. Fire tinder, lashing, etc. Biodegradable. You can just use it and forget it.
yep good stuff
Ok, now to go through my stash of “rope” and just see how long they actually are. More work for me but will be better for it. Thanks Blackie hope you are feeling well again.
good luck with it
because I follow and learn from you. I have a quick deploy ridgeline that has a bowline at both ends and the longline will make it possible to extend my ridgeline.
awesome
Great video my friend keep em commin
Thanks, will do!
I am going to try that twist method on a longer peice of small diameter line to use as a short clothes line. (Like the jungle line greencradt uses)
The way it untwists and then holds looks as if it eould work well for gripping corners of clothing when under tension.
It might become a tangled mess though.
Perhaps i could put small sections of twisted cord in a longer line... so many possibilities
Blackie, this was Great, ty
my pleasure
So awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
I set all my tarps up with dedicated ready made cordage for each tarp and dedicated stakes in the bag with it .. each tarp has its own set up equipment .. for other camp uses utility lines , soft shackles - zip ties ., that all rides in a dedicated cordage bag with additional spare stakes ..
sounds good
I used to rely on paracord as my go-to cordage, but I have slowly started using more and more bankline.
Most of the time, I'm not using the bankline for heavily weighted things because seriously how much strength do you need to set a tarp or Tent.
I wouldn't use paracord as a repelling rope or trust it for a hand hold going down. Paracord is NOT strong enough for that situation. If you feel that you will need rope to get you down, you might want to invest in a climbing rope designed for that situation.
Your knowledge of Knotts is unending. Your videos are great and really teach something. I have never watched any of your videos and not taken something out of it and actually used it.
As always great videos of the use of cordage and Knotts
THANK YOU
Great update Blackie
Much appreciated
God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
yes!
Good video, well thought out.
Glad you think so!
Good video Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
Thanks 👍
Cordage is only frustrating when trying to teach people with 2 x left, or 2 x right hands. There are several basic components - Understanding, practice, practice, & practice until most basic knots can be done blindfolded (or in the dark).
My approach is to reclaim everything that I take into a campsite. Yes, some cut pieces of Bank line may not be able to be used in the same way again, but most will be re-usuable for something.
thanks for watching
Frank Bush uploaded a great new take on a jungle knotted with prussic’s ridge line using bank line. Take a look at that one Blackie and see what you think. It just came out about a week ago.
thanks i will look at it
Great video!
Thanks!
Thanks for some great ideas about how to setup and deploy cordage
Any time!
Hello Blackie. I wonder about the topic of using an 'inspirator' (1/4" dia. copper or brass tube, 3" long, with one end flattened to 1:4 ratio slit, with the other, round end slid into a few feet of rubber tubing.) for nursing fires in sopping wet, humid, conditions. Also for blowing small fires up to bring water to boil.
i have a tube that collapse that i will use for that and i have seen tubes like you speak of we would joke and call them Hooka tubes but they can work well
Hey Blackie, I know our loadout is fluid and continuously changing.. I’m curious as to if you’re still carrying the same line loadout using the same pouch today? I’ve been Moto camping lately, as my back doesn’t like to carry the load anymore, and decided to start carrying two pre made ridge lines. One for my hammock tarp and the other is for a clothes and gear line. Unless the chance of rain exceeds 50%. Then i carry a second tarp and fly it for camp comfort before the rain hits.
Awesome content brother! Always enjoy. WhiteOak26
Well thanks a lot! My life is ruined now. Ever since I found out that you actually know how to pronounce carabiner it seems nothing is real. What is up?' what is down? How can anyone be sure? Lol...
I'm just pulling your chain Blackie. Thanks for all that you do to educate us
You're welcome
sweet! new vid 😁
More to come!
Hello! Just wanted to say thanks for such an informative site. I am new to your channel and have enjoyed the episodes I’ve seen so far. I have just one small “ criticism “. If you have one, could you please wear a microphone? Every time you turn and step away from the camera, you are very hard to hear( and I wear earbuds while watching). Other than that, two thumbs up! Keep up the good work!
Cord locks do not lock - just friction tensioning devices. The majority of cordage need not be 550 test pound paracord for supporting items - overkill strength for setting up a tarp, prusik knots and supporting bushcraft/hiking loads. Why not lighter cordage such as Spectra fishing line, 65 to 100 test pound or perhaps 200 test pound Kevlar? Sure, you can't burn the end of Kevlar and Spectra is a bit rigid for handling, but lighter, sufficiently strong cordage equals lighter weight and smaller volume for carrying and general use handling.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow now I have a headache… more lines I’m gonna go back to a wool blanket inside my poncho….
lol thanks for watching
Blackie how you really like that Grayl? Is it worth the money? Do you really dunk it anywhere for water? What if there is a dead carcass near your fill area, that you aren't aware of? I have a hard time imagining they are as good as they claim. But Ive watched enough of your vids now to trust your opinion. Please advise or do vid on Grayl. Thx.
Quick question, how long does bank line last. I have a large spindle of it I picked up years ago. Thank you for another great video. 👍
i have found if it is left out like tied up about 7 month to a yr in my heat the cord will become hard and brittle if your asking about it in a roll unused i am guessing 15 yrs or so
I believe that depends on the actual size of the bankline, feet vs thickness. If you use #90 bankline it will last year's under water and direct sunlight.
You definitely want to use twisted or braided and it has to be Tarred
One question...the twist tie soft shackle obviously increases the strength of the cord but by how much? If I had a long one I believe I secure something heavy in the cargo bay - using it like a rope and not a soft shackle. Have you done any pull tests? Again, thank you as always.
i have not done tests but i can hang my hammock from them no problem and i am 200 pounds
@@BLACKIETHOMAS Thank you, I think I can trust my gear, and not have to worry about a tangled mess of rope. This is a true game changer. Thank you again.
I make toggles from dowel rods from the store
GOOD IDEA
Looks like I need another hundred feet of paracord.
thanks for watching
How can I send you a shot video? It's an idea I have and would like to share
I've decided on 50' ridgeline. You are the worst videographer in the world. 🤣
I just bought braided tarred bankline and 550 cord and it was very expensive (to me). Daaang.
Tx 4 the vids. Very helpful.
safe journeys
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Blackie how come you dont wear a straw hat in the summer? Isnt that one awful hot?
once it gets wet it is cooler at least to me
Blackie, how do you carry that much weight in a haversack? Isn't it heavy?
actually no i dont really notice it
can we still buy the lutz skinning knife from dans shop?
sadly no if it ever goes into production again i will do a video on it
@@BLACKIETHOMAS ok thanks
Calling all Teddy Bears, please complain so blackie can come on here and apologize to your brittle feelings…..
lol
