Yes I realize this is not 16:9 It was shot for a different platform, if it becomes a problem I can remove it, but being free I would hope folks would not complain but we will see....
Only in America would someone complain about something that is useful and informative and free because it's not in whatever certain format. Thanks for sharing in any format!
1:1 sometimes becomes difficult to frame during editing, if footage was not shot with square aspect ratio in mind. For UA-cam is better to render a 16:9, while rendering a separate 1:1 version for Instagram or whatever. Film it right and it won’t be much of a extra work.
I watched this on my phone so I wouldn't have known that if you didn't say anything about it. I'm gonna start cutting cordage as soon as I get home. Thanks for the great advice.
Brilliant! BTW I had to use my 6’ piece yesterday when my dog got out of the yard and ran to the edge of the property to find my son and and me in the creek. On the way back fashioned a quick leash as we got my the house and I needed the dog to stay close with us
I remember carrying a 7' length of manila when I was in Scouts. It came in handy for many things. It is much easier to have short lines prepared and stored for use than it is to pull out a long hank and have to constantly cut it. Another excellent and informative video. Thanks Dave.
Magnificent! As a Southern Oregon mountain man who has practiced self reliance all my life it has been a real pleasure to be able to learn new stuff that I didn't know I needed to know, lol. Thank you so very much, looking forward to purchasing your books.
Mr. Canterbury I thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and for paying homage to our forefathers who came before us, teaching us their ways that are very much applicable today!! Much Respect, Jon Mill
Dave you are one of the people who inspired me to get into the simple life. I am currently close to getting an RV and living out of it from forest to forest. Obviously taking off to sleep in a tent or lean. Thanks for the years of tips and motivation.
Hey Dave. Despite the screen size, the quality of this video is excellent. The picture is awesome, the sound is perfect (no wind noise or those annoying bugs), the colour is crisp and you got the lighting mastered. Good job Dave! I hope the quality of your future videos are as good.
Awesome it makes alot of sense. Back when I got involved with hammocks, I was introduce to am steel blue, I have been a sucker of the stuff ever since. I have my ridge line, and hanks all in 7/64th line, with titanium adjusters, and stakes , it all packs up nicely in a small plastic baggy. However I always have a 100 feet of paracord at the bottom of the pack, still wear a paracord bracelet as well, which incorporates, bank line and fishing line with hook. Thanks for all you do Brother.
So I watched this yesterday. Thought to myself this is a really good idea. Put one in my pocket and went to work late in the night. Fast forward to later in my shift and I’m getting a resupply for my area. It’s a smaller bundle of 10 or so boxes and some gear. I looked at it. Laid the string down, made a toggle around all the gear and pulled it tight. Acknowledged that the guy was looking at me weird and then walked away with everything in one hand that everyone had been getting in two arms or getting a cart to take away. Totally made my night easier and made me appreciate this video even more. Thank you.
Without getting into all the details I've a dedicated mini fishing chest pack for cordage, lighter, tiny blade and more. With my hand deficit this makes things faster and easier. Stuffs in my off hand pockets is not so good. Also another of the same dedicated chest pack for lighter, compass, light, notes, vicks and much more. They are stored in the back pack and can be worn in any way including fastening to the pack chest harnesses when needed making room for more. Remember for me using pockets is a problem while these little chest packs are so easy making loosing things far less likely.
I for one just want to say thanks for the great idea. I’ll be untangling my paracord pocket content in my Alice trapping pack this weekend for sure. Keep up the great work Dave!!
I started carrying two hanks of 6 foot para cord in my pants pocket daily after watching this a few weeks ago and noticed that the cords would occasionally get tangled up with my flashlight that lives in the same pocket with it and was thinking of a way to keep both without interfering with the other and debated using an elastic tube to hold the cord, but then it dawned on me that we have children that are older now and we have a drawer full of baby socks and I stuffed the two hanks in one sock and now it sits in the sock and the flashlight right next to it and no more tangles. Plus, the baby sock could become a useful item in itself. It could be a filter, a pouch to hold things or to put a rock in to toss over a branch with the cordage, etc.
I always carry 2 five foot lengths of paracord for practicing knot tying and for uses I never saw coming. This week at work I was filling a tank with water and i did not want to hold the nozzle trigger for 10 minutes so I tied a poachers knot in my cordage and tied down the trigger. This morning I had to carry some lumber so I tied each end of the stack (again, using a poachers knot) which made the lumber easy to carry on my shoulder. I understand these are not bushcraft applications, but they are applying bushcraft skills to everyday life.
What a GREAT informative video. I never even thought of doing that. I almost feel stupid that something so simple was not even in my thoughts. You are awesome Dave! I thought you were great from DAY ONE of Dual Survival!!!👍👍👍
I always carried 100 ft of Paracord, divided into four 25ft tightly wrapped, manageable bundles. One is my rapid deploy ridgeline I keep with my shelter system, one I keep on a carabiner on my waist in case I need quick access to more cordage, and the other two I throw in the bottom of my ruck. Additionally I carry a roll of #36 bankline.
I just used my pocket emergency utility cord tonight to make a leash to get a lost little senior dog that we found on our walk back home to his senior owner. Well, the cord and a little beef stick enticement to catch the little bugger! He had been gone about 5 hours, and it was dusk when we found him. They were both very happy he was back home.
Thank you for your video Dave. Great teaching! Trying to piece together my kit and had that question in the back of my mind. Now I have a starting point! Looking forward the other videos that you talked about!
It does make sense to have a few six foot pieces of paracord ready for use , one for hanging a pack, one for a cooking tripod and another to hang a light .
Thanks Dave... great tutorial video. Managing all the cordage is always an issue. I've got my main ridge-line with para cord at 30 feet. Spot on! I usually am carrying 6-8 hanks of 10 ft paracord with bowline loops. And then I do the same with my 12 and 36 lb bankline. I like my 36 bankline twisted, and my 12 lb bankline also twisted. There are a lot of times when 12 lb bankline becomes useful. The unraveled threads from twisted 12 lb bank line can make some great lighter fishing line for smaller fish. I'm sorry... but I'm not going to take my para cord apart to make fishing line... try to do that for just 20 feet of line... what a chore, to start with, and, oh my... what to do with the remaining 20 feet of 6 more strands! I love bank line more than paracord at many times.
BIG AL from Mi. , That and using the larger 750 paracord, too. It works GREAT, but not as fishing line. Real fishing line (4-20 lb. test, limp or tough) beats all the wanna be's.
A great setup that just makes me go, "Why didn't I think if that?". No longer need to carry that 100 feet reel of paracord around. Thanks for another good one.
Thanks for the work you and all the other's at the path finders and all the rest i watch thank you all for the adventure's you go out and show us what we can do. I don't video tape myself I'm very bashful but i like to thank everyone that showes us how and what we can do. From Gregory Hare.
Dave! Pure genius. Never looked at cordage like that. Especially useful since I carry some fire start cordage. Now only one or two need to be specialized and sacrificial. Like they say a fresh pair of eyes.......
That's what I need to do because I think about how much cordage I need so having a cordage management that's perfect thank you Dave for the good ideas keep them coming bro
For too long in my closet was a one-hundred-foot roll of 750 paracord. Your video provided me the impetus putting it to work. By the way, many folks seem to choose 550 over 750. My choice is 750 as it is 5 mm diameter vs 550 4 mm, 750 provides full 750 pounds of break strength. Thus, using toggles this system seems much better than many tie down line straps, such as the ProGrip 8' x 1/4" XRT Rope Lock Tie Down and the like I used on the SUV and stuff.
for longer pieces, and even alongside the cut pieces you carry, I like to put 550, and even lighter cordage like the 325 and 275 lb in doughnuts. in a very small space and with no tangling at all I can carry 250' of 550, or 100-500' of 275. I learned how to make the doughnuts while I was in the service. the "emergency/survival" bracelets are not really a good way to carry cordage you might need to use, but the doughnuts are quick deploy, and tangle free. I did a video last year on how to make them. it IS time consuming to make one, but saves time and space when you really need the cord most.
Great video. It’s something I’ve been wondering about, how much cord to carry while backpacking the AT. Can’t wait for the other videos. Cutting cord up now.
Absolutely awesome concept of cordage management .. as 2 is one one is non .. I'm compelled to have my cut and handed cordage .. but always carry a spare 100 ft new pack .. and a roll of bank line .. in any O.S. situation enough cordage is crucial.. .. I love that 6 ft multi use demo ! And anyone wants to complain about your video format is just being a whine baby.. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us .
Thanks Dave. You ended a mental wrestling match with this video. Been trying to do this myself but just couldn’t finish it. This also helps me think through my use of pre-cut lengths of bank line. Love that stuff for certain applications.
Great vid. I'll rethink how I am managing my own cordage, yhis shed some light. And I thought I was the only one thinking of the Commando Rope. I carry a 6 foot Commando with a toggle and loop it has served well. Being 1/2" rope and the three plys it also gives me other options.
My father always carried about ten 10' hanks of paracord (or more). If you cut cordage in the field was for him a sign you didn't manage your resources effectively - I never remember him doing it once.
Exactly! Lengths with a purpose is how I roll, Great vid! Might I suggest the Zepplin bend (The 69 knot as I like to call it) as an alternative to joining lines with two loops? It’s the safest(loops can rub through each other) non jamming knot to join two lines, the cautious seaman will use this bend to join two anchor rodes. It’s easy to tie, I’ll explain below if anyone wants to know my easy method. Look up some pics first and my memory method will make more sense.
I envy your lifestyle sir.. I prepare and plan for extended outings that have yet to occur... with my luck, I'll probably be free to trek into the wild when a walker will become part of my EDC.. I went out and camped along a creek in Crosby Texas when I was a kid, always unprepared and sleeping in the dirt.. oh well, I'll keep watching yall having fun and learning, maybe my kids will find the opportunity to use what you have taught me.
100 ft. + pieces...lots of pieces...tool heavy also...one is none two is one....bushing it in northern Ontario..thanks dave..keep em comming... Dont forget us canucks..guys up here need schoolin too...
Good Evening Captain Canterbury. Great video Sir, it shows how having certain items prepared and ready to go is a much more efficient approach. Btw how could a few people give a thumbs down? Must be those keyboard commandos who know better and are perpetually negative! Keep on smoothin it Brother💪💪💪
Great video. I like the concept. Only criticism is using 550 cord for a tourniquet. I would avoid that at all costs. It’ll prb work however, it would be extremely difficult for ER personnel to remove and may potentially damage an extremity more.
Remember as I said TEMPORARY until you get the real thing on, the most important thing is to stop blood loss and I am willing to bet 99% of folks dont have an actual CAT within Arms reach everytime they use a knife or axe, so this can be a quick interim measure
good info dave....just a note,when you are presenting do not step back and forth.....hands are ok as they are and i am speaking from 50 years of presenting ,hope it helps
That Commando Rope is known in Australian Army service as a 'Toggle Rope' and is still in service although it is now a type of soft synthetic rope, dyed green and has no toggle, just a loop at either end. Still called a toggle rope... I imagine sliding along a bridge made out of a succession of them would have been pretty uncomfortable for the groin sliding across the toggles. A loop to loop connection is more secure too.If one really wants a toggle it can be pretty easily improvised. It is still carried on the person on every Australian Infantryman.
I actually have a few I also purchased surplus (Or were they left over from my service??) which I keep with my bush gear. I think they are actually 9 feet long though. I am 6'2", and if I stand on an issue toggle rope the ends reach my armpits, ideal length for a skipping rope to keep fit.
Side note: My ridge line has a bowline on the end, because that is how I originally made it. But I have pretty much stopped using the loop in favour of the faster and simpler “Serbian Hitch” tie of the figure eight with quick release. Are there compelling reasons to keep a bowline on my ridge line I should consider when it comes time to replace it? For the shorter cordage, I still find having the bowline loop in place helpful.
Great video brother Dave I went through Indianapolis recently and I must say I hope you enjoy my $700 thank you again for your knowledge and expertise and thank you again for lighting a fire under my backside me and the kids get out into the woods about twice a a month which sucks I am an over-the-road truck driver I take him out when I can because I know when my 13 year old daughter starts dating her boyfriend will be a moron and yes your knowledge and expertise will come up I will quiz and question young man and I am confident my daughter will know more than him because of you God bless you young man trust in God keep your powder dry God bless my 45 both of them my president and my Colt

Chris White - Film it yourself or quit complaining, you entitled twit!
I'm so glad I finally watched this! I need it for the sake of organizing the cordage in my various kits.
Any day with a David video is a good day.
I feel the same..being a common man..
If a man or woman only knew 10% of what Dave knows they would truly know a lot, never a bad video always something to learn
Brilliant! BTW I had to use my 6’ piece yesterday when my dog got out of the yard and ran to the edge of the property to find my son and and me in the creek. On the way back fashioned a quick leash as we got my the house and I needed the dog to stay close with us
This is one I could never come up with a sensible answer for. Thank you
On my way out to my bag to make sense of that big wad of cordage in there! Thanks, Dave!
I remember carrying a 7' length of manila when I was in Scouts. It came

Genius. Thank you. I've had these questions for about a decade. The modularity concept is very convenient.
Yet again you come out with so much sense concisely, thanks a bunch for sharing knowledge, the only stuff you can give away without having less.
Dave I watch your videos for the awesome content you put out not for beautiful photography ! Thanks Brother keep them coming !!!
Thanks David.... always love your videos.....you never disappoint.
Wow, great stuff. Love this kind of systematic stuff. Allowing freedom of implementation within a conceptual framework. Super valuable education.
Awesome it makes alot of sense. Back when I got involved with hammocks, I was introduce to am steel blue, I have been a sucker of the stuff ever since.

Thank you for the video! It's not a " this is what I do" lecture, but more of a common scenario/ Think for yourself video. Great job.
So I watched this yesterday. Thought to myself this is a really good idea. Put one in my pocket and went to work late in the night.

I really enjoy how you simplify common sense things that I over look all the time. Thanks

Bushcraft Auctioneer- I’m sold!!!
Keep the deals coming...I appreciate the professional informative videos.
Thanks for the work you and all the other's at the path finders and all the rest i watch thank you all for the adventure's you go out and show us what we can do. I don't video tape myself I'm very bashful but i like to thank everyone that showes us how and what we can do. From Gregory Hare.
Thanks Dave! I've been struggling with this. You are the best teacher ever! I wish to shake your hand one day!
Dave! Pure genius. Never looked at cordage like that. Especially useful since I carry some fire start cordage. Now only one or two need to be specialized and sacrificial. Like they say a fresh pair of eyes.......
Another use for one of the cords, that I do, I loosely lash a couple sticks together to make shooting sticks (I have a pic but guess I can’t post it)
Simple yet valuable info Dave. Thanks for another great video
Glad to see you back at making videos Dave! Thanks and I'll be looking forward to those other individual break out videos.
Great thought put into this video"
Thank you for the insight of reality of thing's .
That's what I need to do because I think about how much cordage I need so having a cordage management that's perfect thank you Dave for the good ideas keep them coming bro

very helpful mister
Makes sense to me! Shows why he is the instructor. I might have never thought of that one!
This is one of your best basic vids. I’d be interested in how you setup the individual sets. Especially the ridge line one.
Excellent video thank you very much for your time . It was good seeing you at the gathering as well!
Great video. It’s something I’ve been wondering about, how much cord to carry while backpacking the AT. Can’t wait for the other videos. Cutting cord up now.
Absolutely awesome concept of cordage management .. as 2 is one one is non .. I'm compelled to have my cut and handed cordage .. but always carry a spare 100 ft new pack .. and a roll of bank line .. in any O.S. situation enough cordage is crucial.. .. I love that 6 ft multi use demo ! And anyone wants to complain about your video format is just being a whine baby.. thank you for sharing your knowledge with us .
Glad to see you back doing videos. This is great info thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dave. You ended a mental wrestling match with this video. Been trying to do this myself but just couldn’t finish it. This also helps me think through my use of pre-cut lengths of bank line. Love that stuff for certain applications.
Great vid. I'll rethink how I am managing my own cordage, yhis shed some light.
And I thought I was the only one thinking of the Commando Rope. I carry a 6 foot Commando with a toggle and loop it has served well. Being 1/2" rope and the three plys it also gives me other options.
My father always carried about ten 10' hanks of paracord (or more). If you cut cordage in the field was for him a sign you didn't manage your resources effectively - I never remember him doing it once.
Great idea and video Dave ! Cheers thumbs up .
I use different colors for different lengths and different tasks
Exactly! Lengths with a purpose is how I roll, Great vid! Might I suggest the Zepplin bend (The 69 knot as I like to call it) as an alternative to joining lines with two loops? It’s the safest(loops can rub through each other) non jamming knot to join two lines, the cautious seaman will use this bend to join two anchor rodes. It’s easy to tie, I’ll explain below if anyone wants to know my easy method. Look up some pics first and my memory method will make more sense.
I envy your lifestyle sir.. I prepare and plan for extended outings that have yet to occur... with my luck, I'll probably be free to trek into the wild when a walker will become part of my EDC.. I went out and camped along a creek in Crosby Texas when I was a kid, always unprepared and sleeping in the dirt.. oh well, I'll keep watching yall having fun and learning, maybe my kids will find the opportunity to use what you have taught me.
David thanks for the video have to try this 👍have a great day
rock solid plan...thanks for posting
I have come close to this system just from natural usage. Making part of an organised, rational system is pretty helpful.
I like where you're going with this, Dave.
hope you are well Dave. Thanks for the content as always
Super valuable advice! Thank you
So simple. Very cool.
So Smart. I am the guy carrying way too much cordage that is always in knots and take a while to get it straight. Thanks!
100 ft. + pieces...lots of pieces...tool heavy also...one is none two is one....bushing it in northern Ontario..thanks dave..keep em comming... Dont forget us canucks..guys up here need schoolin too...
Solid video. Great discussion for the community.
Good Evening Captain Canterbury. Great video Sir, it shows how having certain items prepared and ready to go is a much more efficient approach. Btw how could a few people give a thumbs down? Must be those keyboard commandos who know better and are perpetually negative! Keep on smoothin it Brother💪💪💪
Absolutely love this idea of systems. Great work Dave.
Great content as always thanks for your hard work and sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Very good ideas. Thank you very much
Great video. I like the concept. Only criticism is using 550 cord for a tourniquet. I would avoid that at all costs. It’ll prb work however, it would be extremely difficult for ER personnel to remove and may potentially damage an extremity more.
Remember as I said TEMPORARY until you get the real thing on, the most important thing is to stop blood loss and I am willing to bet 99% of folks dont have an actual CAT within Arms reach everytime they use a knife or axe, so this can be a quick interim measure
No doubt. I’d say that’s a safe bet; not too many carry a CAT.
Dave você sabe muito!!! Parabéns!!!
Very useful info ! Thanks for another great video Dave.

Side note: My ridge line has a bowline on the end, because that is how I originally made it. But I have pretty much stopped using the loop in favour of the faster and simpler “Serbian Hitch” tie of the figure eight with quick release. Are there compelling reasons to keep a bowline on my ridge line I should consider when it comes time to replace it? For the shorter cordage, I still find having the bowline loop in place helpful.
A very practical approach. Thanks for sharing.
Good stuff Dave! Great to see you doing this! God bless

Another great system!
This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing.
Dave, sou grande fã do seu trabalho!!!
Great video. I’ve on many occasions wrestled with 100ft rolls of paracord and am a little embarrassed this idea didn’t already cross my mind.
I've got a 600' spool that I'd be happy to carry.
Great idea
💡
Spot on Dave. Top notch.
