Rope isn’t always used to tie knots. You can also use it to help with bug repellent. It works well as padding for your laptop in your backpack while you’re going to college. You can also use it as a candlewick or even as a carrier for polishing compound. I did hear a story about it being used for medical treatment after a vehicle accident too.
I love this channel. It makes me realize I don’t own enough rope.
You say that like"enough rope" is a real thing 😂😂😂
This is why my wife hates this channel... 😂
Thank for for your sacrifice and service!
Thank you for your service and your amazing videos
Thank you for your service!
82nd ABN, much respect!
Inspired by your constant ropular (yes it's a word) innovation, this week I rigged up a system in the trunk of my car to stop grocery bags falling over. A line of paracord running fore and aft from a rear headrest to the child seat strap anchor point above the door. A prusik loop attached to that, with a vertical line down attached to a carabiner, tensioned with the "garbage" knot. Attach carabiner to bag handles, apply sufficient tension to suspend the bag a little without taking all the weight, slalom home with abandon 🫡
Love the vids man. So useful. But...where can I get that bag 😊?
It’s a maxpedition malaga
@@First_Class_Amateur thanks! I gonna try and pick one up.
Geniioo!! Me re sirven tus nudos loco, abrazo desde arg!
The fact I love rope as a toy all of my life does not make me a rope expert, but I will never use it as a bug repellant or carry a laptop when I camp.
Second!!
Second!
former ER nurse here... the nasal packing is 1" x 72" petroleum impregnated gauze strip that is packed into the nasal cavity usually for severe uncontrolled nosebleeds.
I had a pen looking object that balloons up with a little finger pump to stop the bleeding. Twice.
I collapsed my nose and sinus cavity in highschool and they used it exactly as described during the reconstructive surgery
I initially assumed you were Navy, mainly because First Class Amateur correlates with First Class Pretty Officer and good rope skills are a sign of a salty dog of a sailor. I've seen comments suggesting you were Army. Now, any and every branch could have a SAW gunner in some capacity. I look forward to more details of your military bio.
glad I stayed till the end! 😂
When I was a teenager, I was in a car wreck. I broke my nose pretty good and the doctor packet my nose with probably three or four feet of gauze and it stayed in there for best of my memory about ten days or so. It gets real nasty looking towards the end of that time. When he pulled it out, my nose felt like you could park a car inside it. It felt cavernous. That was about fifty-five years ago, so yeah, that is a procedure that is used to set a broken nose back straight.
I knew a guy who had a cyst of some kind, and the docs stuffed the cavity with saturated gauze because that was the only to keep the hole clean while it healed from the inside out. If they'd simply stitched it shut, that would have left a void that, I'm told, is a really bad idea.
Inside the pack looks like a great place to put a rope mat. The "thump mats" used on ships are just flattened out knots, and there's no reason to not make one to fit the base of the pack. You could still stuff in some spare rope for practicing....
GRAPPLING HOOK in where?
Was looking to shop, but couldn't find the link.😮
Do you sell that backpack in your shop? If not, what brand is it? 👍
Commenting to know, it's great

Great ideas!! Although, I would recommend margarine, crisco, or vegetable oil as fuel for your lantern since those are bad for you to eat and butter is better. ;-) Bon Appetit! And happy knitting!!
With you on the butter, but margarine is largely made up of water, don't think it'll burn very hard...😊
@@ErickvdK I believe Crisco is very close to margarine and a tub of it will burn for like three days straight as an emergency candle. I’m pretty sure I remember that correctly… 🤷♂️
@@asymmattrical Wish I could try, but in the Netherlands nobody carries the stuff...
@@ErickvdK that is NOT a bad thing… the only thing that stuff is good for is burning - NOT eating! 😂
@@asymmattrical Fran Zappa has more uses for the stuff...🤣
Thanks for your service (& your excellent videos)!
For the lathe trick I’d use a natural cord, one that won’t melt and will hold more polishing compound. Cotton would be great.
SAW Gunners Unite!!!!!
Well, at least the cheap rope has a use.
Thank you for your service!! Love your videos and consider your knot tying instructions to be phenomenal. Intriguing fire ant repellent idea. FYI, just placed my first order from you. Thanks for that too!
Ok, really liked the channel for a while now. Like knots, and your tone is pretty laid back and easy to follow. But airborne combat vet WITH a metal lathe…? Over the top… ! 👍🏿
My dad had a similar surgery but they packed his nose full of gauze. Lots of it. But it takes a fairly potent painkiller to have it removed
Hi FCA, are you the one who has a video about how to make a kind of "retrieval knot" for things that have fallen down ? I saw a video on it some time ago and now I can't find it. In the video the guy uses the knot to get a bicycle that fell down into a drainage canal or something like that
🙏🇨🇦
Totally thought you were prior Navy or Coast Guard. Maybe a former Army Marine.
If you're working on small engines and need to lock up the driveshaft you can jam rope into the cylinder through the sparkplug hole. It's blocks the cylinder from moving upwards so you can then do repairs (eg: changing the sprocket/clutch on a chainsaw) and just like in the nose example just pull it out afterwards.
I've rebuilt many a Stihl saws with using this trick.. They sell a tool to do it, but everyone can find some rope...
Hey video request I have shoe laces that have excess lace, do u have a knot or braid that could make use or make the excess more manageable? Cool thx
Always a great post!! Thanks...
Welcome home brother. Nam-combat vet. '66-68. Army.
What a waste of butter... :( When any used up oil or lard works as well.
Love your channel. I have picked up lots of good info from you. Always enjoy learning new ways to make line work. Thank you for your service!
Thanks!
That bug spray is deadly to plants.
Just and fyi orange oil kills ants.

Wish delivery to the UK wasn't so expensive, I'd love one of your marlin spikes 😢 great video and channel. I've subscribed love everything you do!
Nice
Congratulations on being in the 82 ABN, my dad was in it during WW11 As for me, I was in the 101st and was an Army Ranger. Of course I enjoy your rope videos as well.
Former nasal surgery patient here. That is gauze, and it’s amazing how much they pull out. My head felt completely hollow and empty afterwards. Some say that it is. If I only had a brain, I’d have a snappy retort to that. You’re cool - I like the fire ant perimeter the best. Carry on.
Great ideas. Loved the ant perimeter rope idea. Thanks.
And thank you for risking your like to protect mine.
God bless!
Always like your videos.
I tie stuff up (or down) literally dozens of times a day, so you've helped me out professionally no end, I've also got to enjoy listening to you, and to observe a problem-solving mind in action. Triple treat environment.
11H1P D Co. 2/505th here. Great photo ... wish I'd taken more in my time. I only have one good one from Green Ramp getting loaded up.
Thank you for your service and the very helpful videos. Can’t wait for more!
They used tape to fill drained cysts to prevent any more pus from building up.
Would love your take on common equestrian knots
I'm guessing you've never had a severe nose bleed or a broken nose? Yea, packing the nose is very common.
With rope?
I saw your wife's laundry hamper video and here I am! 😅
The guy in the mirror 😂
