  • Come along as Lonnie shows how to tie three different but very useful knots. These knots are especially useful to the camper or bushcrafter. Lonnie will demonstrate the Kalmyk Loop, the Farrimond Hitch and the Canadian Jam knot or Arbor knot. Lonnie walks you through tying each one of the knots. Lonnie also goes into a bit of why he likes these knots and how he uses them. See our other video to round out your must know bushcraft or camping knot how-to collection.

    Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
    Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
    I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc

    Lonnie, Knots are "one of my things". I know a lot of them, some more useful than others, but I have never seen any of these three. Good video, thank you for showing these. I will use these!

    I use these knots a lot,
    A lot of knots ,
    Not to be forgot,
    But a knot Not tied right,
    Is not a good Knot.
    At night when it snows and the wind does blow,
    A bad knot will loose and cover you in snow.
    A good knot is a friend and aids restful sleep,
    secure in the knowledge that it won't creep!
    Thanks Lonnie and Connie.

  • @radscientist
    @radscientist 5 років тому +2

    These are great! Thanks for sharing.
    I have the worst luck wrapping up my cordage. Ends up being a ball of knots most of the time. The solution I found was to wrap it in a figure eight before making the outside wraps to bind it together. It pays out smoothly and doesn't knot up on me.

  • @benthere8051
    @benthere8051 5 років тому +1

    Wow, Lonnie. Two of your three knots were new to me which I thought was near impossible as useful knots go. Both of the first pair are easy to tie and undo. I've used the Canadian jam knot for a long time.and find it very useful. Thanks so much.

  • @KurtMcScotsman
    @KurtMcScotsman 5 років тому +3

    I store my cordage almost the exact same way! The only exception is that sometimes I alternate the loops, rather than wind around my hand (this is just to avoid adding twist, as I'm more accustomed to working with cables).
    Wrapping around your hand or elbow is definitely faster though.

  • @stevenrobertson4470
    @stevenrobertson4470 4 роки тому +2

    Most excellent presentation! I've always stopped my ropes the way you showed but would always unwind the wraps around the bundle and then struggle with the tangle, I never realized you could pull it out from the end. I've tried it again and again and it always works. I had to lasso a drowning dog in the Highline Canal near Spanish Fork Utah and had to unwind the wraps, untangle the Paracord, and tie a bowline for a noose. I saved him but had to run along the Canal with three beagles in tow. I wish I would have known this trick before! Also, the Kalmyk loop is amazing, I've been practicing this again and again. I can tie it but don't yet understand it. I love the Canadian Jam Knot which I learned last year and use it all the time now - so handy! And the Ferrimond Hitch works so much better than the taught line hitch. Thanks for a great presentation!

    Farrimond hitch is probably my most used knot when setting up a tarp or tent. I even removed the tensioning toggles from my tent guy lines just to use the Farrimond by preference.
    That jam knot looks like it could become just a popular. Many thanks. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    That Canadian jam knot is as useful as it’s simple, one of the most helpful I’ve seen.
    Lonnie you seriously need to write a book on bushcraft. I don’t know why you share this proven knowledge for free, but I’m so glad you do.
    Bless you both, hope life is being kind.

      These knots here along with the other knot video mentioned and linked to in this video will give you a good strong arsenal of very useful knots that can do just about everything needing done in a camp or bushcraft outing.

  • @Robert31352
    @Robert31352 5 років тому

    Lonnie, over the years of watching and sometimes commenting on your videos, I have come to respect you for many reasons. As I was watching this video, I was thinking how much knowledge you have; however, saying that, I must say that the first two knots are just too complicated for the weekend or armchair bushcrafter. in real life, it doesn't matter if you know as many knots as a seventeenth century sailor, there are really only about five, maybe seven knots anyone in the woods needs to know. The Canadian Jam knot is one of them, in my opinion. I like the uncomplicated way you wrap the cordage also. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

    Good video. I like the Siberian hitch it’s similar to the first one you showed. I like it for tieoffs for quick release

    • @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival
      @Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival  5 років тому

      The Siberian or Evenk knot is tied in a similar fashion as the Kalmyk loop but the Siberian hitch slips to tighten up against whatever it is tied around. The Kalmyk however will stay put where ever it is tied. So tied in a similar way but much different outcome.
