The more I watch you guys the better I become. The better I become, the more enjoyable camping gets. I've always loved it since I was a kid. Thanks for all you do.
Good info... Especially the marlinspike hitch being used for stakes. I've been doing that for a while now and it's so much easier and faster than the adjustable hitches and bowlines I used for stakes in the past. I would have saved a lot of time messing around with tying, untying, and adjusting knots if I'd been using a marlinspike hitch on stakes for the first 40-odd years of my life. I'm going to have to make use of that clove-hitched larks head and the piling hitch. I can think of several instances where those knots could really come in handy. By the way, good work with the camera, Dave. There have been some videos where you blocked the view of your knots with your fingers or arms, but this video gave an unobstructed view of everything you tied. Well done. 👍👍
Thanks for the tips and reminders. I found this is what Sailors used centuries ago, each had a rope belt, which could be joined like this to make extended cables as needed. I began teaching my Scouts this some time ago, with paracord too. The Marlin Spike hitch for our tent pegs (slips as you call them) is a brilliant idea too, so thanks.
Nuttin' like a variety of good toggles when camping. I've also started using heat shrink tubing to dress the ends of lines I've made up to keep things from snagging too. The imagination is a wonderful thing. Camping hardware from Amazon is making life simple too.
After seeing your emphasis on toggles in recent videos, I've started keeping a couple prepped in my bag and using them for shelter/tent setup, and it makes setup and break-down of camp much more efficient. Thank you for sharing this knowledge!
Love learning these things! Love the outdoors but do not get out as much in my later years. But I do use these techniques and information when I am out and about.
I'm known as the toggle guy :) I use them for everything. Once you learn a few tricks they can be incorporating in tons of different ways and scenarios and are so handy.
Honestly man your videos are fantastic and super easy to follow. Definitely look up to you like a hero, one day the knowledge I've learned from you may very well save me. Thank you David.
Grab a piece of cordage about foot or so long... Practice a hitch until it is learned, then add another to the list..cool thing is, make that piece of cordage an EDC item, you can practice anytime.
All but the timber hitch which is no ideal for small diameter are self tightening or require the tying of a knot. The idea other than the clove is ease of removal and no knots
That 2nd knot looks like a bull hitch (the larks head also being known as a cow hitch) .... basically the larks head with a twist put in the bight and then the ends fed through the bight ? Like that piling hitch.
I'm real slow David I wish you and Blackie would slow down on showing the nights at y'all are making it would help me out a lot you know I'm just Old Farm Boy down here in Texas by Louisiana
Great video, Sir ! Question: Is that "Lark's head" knot/hitch also known as a "girth hitch" ? Also, that "pilot hitch", should we put a twist in it after going behind the lines, but before placing it back on the toggle ? Would that make it a stronger knot/hitch ? Thank you for your content. Keep up the great work !!!

Dave sure has come a long way! He’s easily to be remembered later down the road as a Nessmuck or Kephart. 👍👍🇺🇸😁
Im a sucker for these kind of videos, thanks Dave. They help so much. I will be saving this one to find easy.
Over the years you have shown so much thanks Dave.

Knot making is a perishable skill! Must be constantly practiced! It’s good to have alternatives! There are good knot making apps!
Toggles make everything easier! Im trying to learn more knots, the more the better. Love your videos man and love what you're doing. 🤟

Old dual survival fan here. Man that show fell off without you. Love what you bring to the table.
Dave, thank you for all you do.
You are a staple in this space.
Very much appreciate your leadership.
Locking larks head knot is awesome
Tier 1 of WoodCraft
Excellent instruction and visuals. The pauses and repeats in addition to the instruction were perfect. Thank you
When it comes to stuff like this, I'm usually all thumbs. You, on the other hand, make it seem easy. Thanks, Dave.
Great knot reminder. Without the reminder, I forget what I used to know. Thanks Dave.
Probabely the best survival instructor ,thank you sir.
Quick, fast video with info we can easily apply, making our outdoor time all the more enjoyable. Thank you!
Excellent information in an excellent video. Well done Dave, keep up the great work

Thanks, Dave! I'm up for the quick and easy knots.

Good techniques. Thanks!
One to remember. Thanks for sharing Dave. 👍

Great illustration and video.
Nice to see you again Mr Canterbury. Enjoyed the video.
Always enjoy learning something new that is always a camping issue
Thanks Dave, those are the best examples I have seen. Was very easy to follow. Alan Rice.
I really enjoy these videos like this. Very informative and to the point.
You should make another book of knots commonly used for bushcraft style stuff.
Gotta love easy & simple! Got enough things to do without dealing with stupid tightened knots in paracord! Awesome as always Dave!
Wow so simple yet so effective been watching coprals corner learning knots your both fantastic teachers thank you for your time and videos 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Dave. I like no knot knots. Marlin Spike hitch.... I learned the rule, easy to remember, tension line goes on the knot, not the toggle. :-)
Thanks for the tipsand tricks, I enjoy your videos.
I can’t learn enough about knots 👍👍 Thanks Mr. Dave
I'm known as the toggle guy :) I use them for everything. Once you learn a few tricks they can be incorporating in tons of different ways and scenarios and are so handy.
Great tips Dave, thanks and take care.
Honestly man your videos are fantastic and super easy to follow. Definitely look up to you like a hero, one day the knowledge I've learned from you may very well save me. Thank you David.
You should do another book with just knots commonly used for bushcraft style stuff
Thank you for those knots, I just started learning some real rope work and these will definitely go into my arsenal.
Thank you Dave
Thats a pretty cool way to join two lines. Thanks
Learning something new yet again. Good stuff. Thanks.
Outstanding! Thank you. 👍🏻

Thanks for video, always something to learn, something new
Definitely one for the toolbox, thank you sir!
Nicely demonstrated as always sir 👍🏽👍🏽👌🏽😎
Thanks Dave
Love your videos I learn so much
If I can just remember how to tie it later down the road. Thanks for the video.
Practice untill you can do it with your eyes closed.
Grab a piece of cordage about foot or so long... Practice a hitch until it is learned, then add another to the list..cool thing is, make that piece of cordage an EDC item, you can practice anytime.
Great info as always Dave. Thanks.
Awesome video and thank you for making it ❤️👍
Nice thanks man
Good reminder video
Excellent information,sir. Thanks for sharing.
All your videos are awesome
Excellent lesson!
DC, you could use a constrictor knot, or Canadian Jam Knot, or timber hitch, JMO, Well done....ATB
All but the timber hitch which is no ideal for small diameter are self tightening or require the tying of a knot. The idea other than the clove is ease of removal and no knots
Super vidéo. Great tricks.
Great video, thanks Dave
More Toggles! Thanks for the video.
Just seen the link for this on Facebook and had to run over and be blessed by your toggle knowledge🤠🤙
Good stuff as always sir thank you spreading the knowledge!!
Awesome video, thanks.
Have you considered using a button knot in place of the stop knot, this means you don’t need a toggle at all.
great tips, ty
Great video!
Needed that thanks.
A good video. Thanks.
Thank you.
Thanks for the tips
Starting at 1:45, isn’t that a Bull Hitch? If so, cool way to tie it!
Thank-you!

Hi dave
Good stuff 🤠
Great video, Sir !
Question: Is that "Lark's head" knot/hitch also known as a "girth hitch" ?
Also, that "pilot hitch", should we put a twist in it after going behind the lines, but before placing it back on the toggle ?
Would that make it a stronger knot/hitch ?
Thank you for your content.
Keep up the great work !!!
Girth Hitch on a larger object, Larkshead on a small one, You dont need to twist the lines on a Piling Hitch it is self locking like a constrictor
@@DavidCanterbury, Thank you, Sir.
Good Stuff!
Love from India
Спасибо огромное дружище
Hey Dave !!
I missed your cocking videos !!!)))
I swear, I bet Dav probably knows how to crochet two.
Knots !
Heck yeah👍
😃
👍😃✌️
Dave, marlin is pronounced as it's spelled. Mar lin not mar line.
I respectfully disagree, look up the word Marline which is the original use for the Marline spike, its not a fish its a tool for picking Marline
Outstanding AF. Easy to follow, like it loads!
Thank you.
