If you are ever near Windsor Ontario. Let me know i will buy you a beer. And treat you to some wild game or fish of your choice. I have moose venison perch walleye Rainbow trout... And a smoker
Appreciate your content
You should go to one shepherd with Brent0331 next year.
Great knots! What kind of jacket are you wearing in this video? Looks sturdy, warm, light, and water resistant. In the PNW, those elements are critical.
i have a male cannibas plant 3ft high and it's dying cuz of the cold and i was wondering if you could make any kind of cordage from it like hemp. I seen your one vid making one out of stinging nettle.
Thanks for that vid btw.
Just out of curiosity have you heard of the bankrobbers hitch? And if so would you use it in a ridge line set up ?
Knots aren’t hard to do. Remembering how to tie a knot you rarely use is the hard part.
Agree. I’m here refreshing my memory before my fall trip for just that reason
If ya can’t member exact .. just get Er done
Cpl kelly I love your knots and how to do them properly.I don't have any ropes to learn how to do your knots and I live in alberta
I keep a piece of paracord on my desk and try to remember to practice the important ones at least a few times a month, but yeah I still get brain farts out in the bush sometimes

I travel for work so I'm staying in a hotel. I couldn't get the curtains to totally close so I made a bushcraft zip tie from a length of paracord using a basic slip knot and was able to secure the curtains. I also made a quick deploy ridgeline and got my truckers hitch down pat.
It really is amazing how often bushcraft applies to real life.
One person with Velcro shoes downvoted. Good stuff and thanks for reminding me, I need to practice
desert trolls and untrained haters. thanks for watching
Great tutorial on bondage er i mean knots haha bondage is knot for everyone.. i love knots and you did a great job of showing some of the really useful ones.
"How did you spend Memorial Day?"
"I learned to tie camp knots with some military guy on UA-cam, using my cats'scratching post as a log and a hairbrush handle as a stick. How about you?"
Instead of a log. Use a case of beer and a beer can as a toggle.
Salute to the Fallen
Ive been trying to learn knots because i want to switch from a tent to a tarp, but i was having such a hard time with it. Found your channel and instantly subscribed, i’ll be practicing knots while i wait for the snow to melt here in the northern rockies. Thanks a lot
Did your last post about why UA-cam didn't circulate your videos get taken down?? I was getting ready to comment and it said the post no longer exists. Idk. I got notified of them I I think. UA-cam is about a joke anymore. I've learned so much from watching you, Dave, and Dan Wowack lately and so have my boys and its be a damn shame to lose channels like yours. If I could just take all your guys classes I would but for now it's all I got! Lol. Worlds goin to shit man.
It's pretty shitty that your skills videos don't tickle the algorithm. That content was what made me a subscriber.
1:01 Bowline
2:02 Square knot

Thanks, Shawn.
(* ;-D Have a pleasant year, fellow humans. BR, CC. *)
@Catalytic Centaur, great timestamp notes!
Thanks homie
For a CV Jar Head you ain’t so bad. I enjoy your videos.
Former Airborne Ranger, twice your age. Good video corporal Kelly.
today i needed a bowline knot and couldnt remember but i remembered watching one of your vids about knots thank you ,brother in arms
spc mills
This is great. It might just be my new go to video when teaching my scouts
This is my favorite, and I think the best and most useful of all of your very useful and educational videos. Playback speed 0.5 is outstanding. I'm going to favorite this video and come back to practice every day until I can make these knots like a pro.
Well Done Corporal!
Teaching knots can be difficult. I have been a Boy Scout volunteer leader for 24 years. So I’ve taught a few. Lol
You do an Outstanding Job of teaching the knots.
Simple and well tested knots. And well explained. Rain falling on a tarp and bacon frying sound similar. No wonder they both sound great.
I’ve been doing overnight solos in my backyard every weekend for a month and I have trouble remembering the knots every time so I am going to watch this over and over until it clicks in my brain. I’m preparing for a river camp out in June so hopefully I will have this down by then. Thank you for your videos 👍🔥🪵
Researching knots I should know I found your tutorials. I ended up spending most of the day tying and retying all these knots. you just got a new subscriber. Thanks and Happy 4th of July!
Gold. No, more valuable than that. Wish I could download this video to my phone to carry with me even off-network. Superior content.
where have you been?
@@recall5811 I'm *always* here to support, but just haven't commented on the last few. I'm incredibly flattered that you noticed.
I've downloaded all your knot vids...never know when I might need 'em offline. Great job!
Just bragged over at Girl In The Woods that you're my go-to guy for bushcraft/survival videos on knot tying. You always make it so very visually clear, you go over it in different ways, and you explain what the uses are. For that, I salute you, Corporal! (Mind you, your other stuff is great, but your knot-tying demos are supreme.)
I really appreciate the way you clearly demonstrated how to tie the knots. This makes learning more enjoyable. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow those knots are interesting and should be practiced to perfection
Thank you for doing this in the rain. So relaxing lol
This is how all instructional videos should be, no annoying music, no over explaining just how you do the knot.
I very much appreciate the fact that not only do you teach the knots, you take the time to show some of its uses. That makes the video outstanding!
Helpful and informative as always. I just might last more than a day out there thanks to these vids.
Jesus Loves you all very much!!!! God Bless everyone!!!!
I appreciate this kind of content! Maybe not the most appealing for UA-cam's algorithm, but incredibly helpful to have a video to help practice running through all of these knots and hitches in one place. Thanks for making it.
Thank you for this...large rope to see and clear explanation of types and uses of the knots...perfect video
Love it boss man 💪 keep it coming!
Excellent demonstration Shawn! I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming!
Do you have a video for newbies that would explain your opinion about cordage, like what kind of cordage you believe is best for each survivor situation, maybe show options, pros and cons of each (for example: Regular 7 strands Paracod, 550 FireCord, Titan Survivor Cord, the different number Bank Lines and its uses, etc.) If it's too much info, maybe you could do a series?
so, i love rope. like, i REALLY love rope. put me in the "fetishist and crafter" categories as opposed to the "bushcraft" category, but here's my thoughts.
i adore mil-spec 550 paracord. i use that on everything. shit takes a beating like you wouldn't believe. i make bullwhips out of them as well. it takes a lot to get it to fail. urban survival, it and duct tape are your best friends. my only con is that i would like it to have more tooth (more able to grip onto itself), but that's personal preference :D
i have titan survivorcord in my get home bag. at some point after taking it out of the package and admiring it, i realized that that was a really dumb idea: let's say i want to stake down my tarp... well, i cut off 6" strands of paracord, aaaand... well that's 6 inches less of fire cord, snare wire, and fishing line i have access to... and there's another 6 inches... and another, and another... i guess i could use the fire cord after i untie the tarp, but why am i starting a fire if i don't have shelter put up? and why do i want to reduce the strength of the cord for the next time i tie the tarp down? and given the fact that there's a wire in it, i couldn't cut it with the knife i had been carrying until recently (granted, that knife sucked, but it's a good thing i found out *now* and not then, right?)- i can cut it now that i have a leatherman. ...now, if the river decides it really likes my pole, and i have to make a hobo reel, sure, i have 100ft of fishing line... meaning i have destroyed the strength of my cordage, and am now hauling 1,000 feet of loose string and wire in my pack (seven 100' strands of core, one 100' sheath, one 100' wire, one 100' fire cord), in addition to the 100ft of fishing line. same problems for the snare wire (if i want the wire, i'm shortening my paracord that i now have to haul around the little pieces for). in theory, it's a really great item... but the moment you realize how it will be used, there is a ton of waste involved. ...and if you pack light and small like me, you can't afford the space for 1000' of cordage because it's now taking up a LOT more room in your pack. ...now, i don't plan on replacing mine with regular paracord, but suffice it to say i have carabiners hanging off all my zippers now in case i DO need it.
Outstanding. In the last week I have suggested your channel to a few youtubers that looked like they could use a little help in this regard.
and they probably didn't give AF, but thanks and thank you for watching
@@recall5811 Well it's they're loss then.
Thanks for taking the time to teach us the basics
I really enjoy watching you tie knots. Your knowledge and your finger dexterity, along with perfect nails and beautiful sun tinged hairy knuckles, offer us viewers a glimpse of perfection. Thank You for your videos and your service to our nation.
1:01 Bowline
2:03 Square Knot
2:43 Fisherman's Knot
3:25 Lark's Head or Cow Hitch
5:20 Prussic Knot
All your demonstration in this video are useful knots
Had to save this one to my favorites for future reference when I brain-fart and forget how to do these.
I feel like when you’re going to need to remember, you won’t have service to reference it.
@@samdeering8070 that's when it's worth the one month membership fee to join UA-cam premium just so you can download all the necessary reference material they have available for future "offline" availability.
@@PIPER1084 never!
1:05 Bowline Hitch-loop at end of cordage that won’t slip or bind
2:03 Square Knot-binding knot to join two lines or make a loop
2:43 Fisherman’s Knot-another binding knot to join two lines or make a loop
3:26 Lark’s Head Knot (Cow Hitch)-attach a piece of cordage to an object
5:22 Prusik Knot-attach a small diameter loop to a larger diameter rope
6:37 Jam Knot (Arbor Knot)-used to compress a load, create a lashing, or tie cordage around an object
7:46 Timber Hitch-used for towing a log, attaching to a tree, or starting a lash
8:25 Marlin Spike Hitch-temporary knot to attach a rod to a rope to form a handle or a rung for a ladder
Thanks Corporal! How I practice and learned these was to cut 1- 1.5 ft of paracord and continuously tie these knots. Kept it in my pocket and during a meeting or watching the kids play, I’d continuously tie these knots until I could do them without looking. Gets that muscle memory solid.
The whole video sounded like sizzling bacon
Just saw this...GREAT video! I never realized that you could turn a marlin spike hitch into a bowline knot! Thank you!
Excellent video and a great refresher. My Dad couldn’t stand what he called ‘a dump lump’ so he taught me every knot he knew. I’d sit in the woods and practice with old rope pieces that smelled like gear oil. That knowledge has served me countless times and the first rule of knot rigging is know the purpose. Thanks for this video!
Lisa Capulet you have a great dad!
Thank you! Waiting for your California survival basic class . I have three ready to attend my niece my Brother and myself. Standing by. Over
I love the versatile marlinespike and the sound of the rain ,better than any background music.
I learned a valuable lesson this weekend during an impromptu camping trip. You can’t just watch these videos and go out and replicate the knots. You need to practice them before needing to use them. Some of my knots showed an extreme lack of skill and practice.
I think I went along with a spare shoelace the first time i watched this video. 😅
@@shorea27 I bought me a roll of paracord and keep some with me so I can practice. I can now do a couple on command without having to go back to the videos
For some reason I had to relearn the bowline three times before my brain accepted it LOL
Practice for sure helps
@@anovaprint I know the feeling
The "Bowline" is an essential knot for anyone who does outdoors a lot. It is the knot used in rescue and with some time and effort can be learned by anyone. If you're a true outdoorsperson, you should learn to tie it one handed. It's been years since I used knots for rigging and for outdoors activities but the fellow who taught me knots insisted I practice until I could do it one handed, then upped that game to include in the dark. At that time there weren't all the fancy recovery gear and if you were stuck on a ledge all your rescue needed to do was have them drop you a line and you tied a Bowline around yourself so they could pull you up thus saving the rescuer from having to risk coming down. Learning to do it one handed (in case of an injury) and in the dark makes it easier. It also makes the knowledge stay with you even in an emergency.
Well said. It does solve 99% of any problems encountered.
Outstanding as usual! Corporal I had a thought. When you were demonstrating the reef knot/square knot I was thinking “yes, that’s for an arm sling in an emergency. It sits flat on body for comfort”
Without getting the lawyers smiling can you please consider a basic first aid video or a first aid kit video. I would hate to get you in trouble for someone blaming a bad accident that got worse for your advice, but I would appreciate seeing the basics from your perspective please.
Best knot video ive ever seen... the thick cordage makes it so much easier to understand.
Thumbs up!!!
Clark
Well thankyou Sir, i need to learn these knots and hitches
I swear its raining in every single one of your videos haha.
Thank you . Very instructional video !!
As climbers say, "If you don't know the knot, tie it a lot.
Repetition is a must. At least for me.
or learn to tie something correctly
You'll know if you tied your knot correctly, if you're on a rope...
Great video. Exactly the kind of things I want to see when you start your online courses.
I just downloaded a couple apps that help with knot learning: Knots 3D, and Animated Knots. They're working very well in tandem with one another. This video gives me an opinion of where to start from someone I respect. Outstanding!
Great video again. I like the timber hitch / marlin combo because it is just an improvised pair of logging claws much lighter too and more flexible .
I've been a leader in the scouts for over 10 years and was a scout a number of years before that. My sons love to tie knots and hitches. Your videos are the BEST instruction I have ever witnessed. You make it so simple to make the knots and best of all a reason WHY the knot would be helpful! You sir are OUTSTANDING!! Always enjoy your videos!
Love your videos.
I'm a builder in England and these knots and lashes are really helpful to a construction worker.
Thanks corporal.
Your a good teacher of knot tying. My Father was the best, he tied knots till the day he died. Did I pay attention to his knots? No, now I kick myself in the butt for not paying attention. Thanks and take care.
Nice demos - If you need a refresher while out in the field, I highly recommend the app for your phone....Knots 3D
Rain sounds like bacon frying... ummmmm bacon.
Thankyou, we are just starting to do some over night adventures and I will practice these in our great outdoors in Australia! I film my travels, so hopefully I can show you where I am using them ( now I am nervous!). Your video was really clear and easy to follow :)
Excellent choices, Shawn. Besides the bowline, the trucker's hitch, and the reef knot, my favorite knot is the constrictor knot.
The constrictor knot is much more useful than the clove hitch and the timber hitch.
But I am here to tell you that a knowledge of knots is one of the best survival tools that you can possess. Anything that can convert a simple rope into a dozen different tools is an invaluable survival skill. I really appreciate the information you provide here and I'm a loyal subscriber.
This plus "Hitches, Lashes and Knots Pt.1 / Pt.2" are perfect viewed (and learned) right after each other! Been watching you for a couple of months now and as soon as you build something I was like "yeah, I can't do that"...and now I'm like "he starts of with a timbers hitch, makes perfect sense, easy peasy" Thank you so much for your videos!
It's been almost a year since I found your channel . The way you demonstrate the skills .. either knots , knife work , cooking , shelter set ups . Has never been anything less than professional. Keep up the great work, thank you for your service to our country. And may I add a illustrated field guide printed on waterproof material produced by you would be an outstanding addition for your viewers .. so many times guide books are poorly illustrated with crude drawings .. a step by step photo illustrated guide book with your clear instruction would be a great aide to have in anyone's pack
Ken Barrett I agree with you 100%!
100% agree
better not tie a noose, or a nascar driver will cry discrimination
Oh fuck off
@@greatpurpleheron ha,ha,ha,ha. good morning. fuck you too
@@greatpurpleheron Lighten up, Francis.
Thanks Corporal.Awesome AF. Been watching this video and your other two videos on knots and lashes! Great Stuff! Learning them all ! Why cause piss poor preparation = piss poor performance! LOL. !
Thanks for this video! I use this for teaching the boys in our Scout troop about knots.
Your instructional videos are always top shelf. And your overnighters are outstanding!
Yay!! An instructional video! Thanx corporal.
This man is a legend and very helpful 🙏 thank u
I was practising while watching the video. I have the square knot down pat. The rest I will work on until I learn the names and how to tie them. Thank you.
I found this very satisfying to watch, the rain in background helps too ahaha! Glad you came across my feed! I've subscribed 👍
I have said before. You have a great teaching ability
Corporal, you are one of the best knot teachers out there brotha!
No The Gray Breaded Green Beret is Better...…………..
@@recall5811 that's a tough call, his instructions are stellar as well.
I love how you show alternate ways to tie some knots! Great tips and reminders that rope is your friend and tool. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
learned these basic knots and a few new swearwords at the same time
Please describe how you make your knots and hitches. This makes it more accessible to those of your subscribers and other viewers who are blind. WWhen I was a child, I learned how to lace and tie my shoes. I was blind then too.
Thanks Corporal, for another great video! I learned most of my knot tying through your channel. They have impressed my friends, and confused and frightened my enemies. Just the way I like it :)
Hey corporal, you've been hanging around too many boatswain's mates on those long amphibious cruises. Next thing you'll be demonstrating is how to properly blow the bosun's pipe. At ease, Marine!
My wife just declared that if I utter the phrase “improvised marlin spike hitch” aloud while putting up the clothesline in the back yard, I have to sleep on the couch. She gets spring fresh sheets, I get trigger-time with bushcraft paracord..... looks like sofa city sweetheart!
LiberalGunNut AKA: Blue state Bob I literally laughed out loud reading your post! Thank you👍😆
Brilliant video thank you so much sir 😀
Amazing instruction.
Truly outstanding. Knots, compass use and your night in the woods video really opened my eyes to a few things.
Thanks!
I find it so cool how universal these knots are, and being able to recognize them when people reference them makes you feel powerful :D
Great video, I always look forward to watching them!
Video idea. I know you have done it a few years ago but it would be cool to see you plot a course to cool camp spot
And over night, beings your in new terrain and season. Just a thought
Outstanding. If you want to learn how to tie knots watch this and practice.
You have the best camera work when it comes to showing how to do a skill.
Thank you for what you do.
Witchcraft!
Now that I have time to watch these videos because of the Coronavirus quarantine, I am encouraged when it is lifted to-get out my camping gear and explore the local woods (minus the local coy wolves present in Nova Scotia, my only deterrent). I have been totally entertained by your videos. Thanks!
Good stuff as always Corporal! Growing up on the water working on boats knots were mandatory. Its raining your training and teaching, more who could ask for Yoda.
Loving your videos! Super informational and love how you always show real application along with the process of how to do so. Big fan!
Please, never use the reef (square) knot to join 2 lines. Ever. See the double sheet bend, and the figure 8 bend, for a start.
Amazing Corporal. I admire this. You don't need nails nor plastic tape to bind things.
You’re 100% correct on this being the easiest most complicated!! It took me a while to even get the names right. I’m definitely KNOT an expert yet but I’ll just keep chuggin along toot toot
I love how this guy does this in the rain ☔️. Gota be a jarhead 😄
I recently came across your channel and absolutely love it. Been binge watching as much as I possibly can. Outstanding AF! Keep up the good work!
Aw, c'mon! I was expecting the Trucker's hitch in there somewhere. Love your vids, and i find the knot vids particularly useful. Gotta bookmark this one for sure! Great job. dcr
