Great video on the application of rope rigging and knot use. This is something different that I have not seen in other videos besides the same old ridgeline, how to fly a tarp, and tying to a steak. This type of instruction is more direct and full filling in the use and application of rope rigging and knot use. More rope rigging videos would be most appreciated.

You are the most understandable whens it comes to knot!! I personally love it. Keep up the awesome work!!

Awesome AF Video.... Bowline: I have used 1000's of times around trees and myself - learned to tie it around myself with one hand for rescue (never have needed rescue so far). Tautline Hitch: 10000's of times putting up tents. Prusik knot: 10000's of times for tarp ridge lines and other uses including climbing up steep slopes "just like that" you showed.. Fisherman's Knot: too many times to count. Truckers hitch: every time I use my trailer to haul something. I started learning knots at age 4 because my Dad took me to Boy Scouts as he was the Scout Master and didn't have a sitter. I learned knots in Boy Scouts and used them in Boy Scouts and the rest of my life! They are an essential life skill!!! This video and your other videos teaching knots and their practical use are some of the most important videos you have ever done - EVERYONE needs the life skill of knowing how to tie some basic knots and they are fascinating for young kids to learn, practice, and use!!!!

I love your new way of teaching. Keep it real. That's awesome.

Whoo-hoo for a great video, Corporal!!! You always do a GREAT job!!! It is always a delight to see the things you bring!!! Have the best Sunday…don’t work too hard…and you probably need a delicious steak dinner to keep up your strength!!! Keep on rockin’!!! 🏕🪵🤗👏🏼

Love the real world aplications

Enjoy all your videos. Thanks for keeping it clean for my grandchildren.

Nice demo of the use of the knots, and those skillets look sweet! Can’t wait to see the finished product!

A show in prevention of ticks would be good also

Thanks for the video as always!

Keeping my brain active with new solutions! Thank you and blessed wishes on the shop projects ;)

Love it!!! Many people overlook implementing the knots they spent time using and I agree with your earlier knots videos about knowing a few knots very well that you use regularly instead of knowing tons of knots that you never use

Really great instruction! I like the way you’re never in a hurry and never take our prior knowledge for granted. Well done!

The highways are FULL of ladders and shit that someone who didn't know how to tie a proper knot lost. It's MORE than a bushcrafty skill, knots are a pretty essential skill that has been lost recently.

Great video. Always fall back to the knots!

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Not having an overnighter this week is perfectly ok. You work hard and we will still be here!

Thanks for the video! As always ... Useful information! Have a great week! See you midweek!

Weird… I was thinking yesterday about digging up an old knot video of yours and this drops… Recon spidey senses still working!

Excellent video. Unlike some other instructors, that show things way too fast to grasp the idea, you have slowly explained it in a way that cannot be misconstrued and I thank you for that. Now I know what a Prussic knot is and how to apply it for different applications. Agree on tying the rope to self...if you did slip, could prevent a long fall off a tall cliff. Once saw someone use two of those Prussic knots as ascenders on a rope, one you could rest your foot/ weight in and rest if tired.

Again, great info Shawn, Thank You 😇👍👍👍

Man, I love your rope vids. Far easier to follow than knot apps on my phone.

Another option that just dawned on me is for a safety catch is to make a slightly longer prussic loop and tying the bowline through it around your chest as always great content Shawn keep up the good work

I’m an Air Assault graduate. Knots are essential in that training not only for repelling but sling loading as well.

Knots have always been my weakness... thanks for everything you do to keep us all better informed, motivated, educated! ❤ Semper Fi

You descending while giving yourself slack part was dope. Pure genius

I liked your idea of dragging the rope with you using the bowline. But I think you could improve it by tying a 2nd loop, say 1 or 2 arms length from you, through the prussik loop. Thus, in case you did slip, the rope end would catch you, as it would put tension on the prussik. The prussik is a very strong safety knot. I hope the brief description made sense...

Everyone is happy about your sons graduation, congratulations!

Good information in this video. Easy to understand and where to apply

Just like that! another informative video!

As awlays thanks for all your efforts ! Directiong your past couple videos have gone, i believe are in the correct direction. Knowing a knot is one thing knowing how and where to use them next level.. Thanks for the training , Corporal Kelly!

Thanks again Corp. I love your no BS style

Have used pretty much the same setup for years. Works like a champ. Great video, again

The over nighters can wait . It's always nice to learn skills to sink in so when it comes to an emergency we are not out in the field think ok how do we tie that knot or how do we do this to survive. Thank you again for all the skills that you are sharing

Totally agree with you. Skills are all, but only as long as you know what to do with them. It's knots are the best example. You might just know 4 or 5, but if you know how to use them, it's all you need. KISS philosophy at it's best. Thks for sharing the knowledge!

A great video, very useful.

Sometimes life gets in the way of what we intend to do, or want to do, and we just need to flow with it. It's kinda like "The best plans turn to shit upon first contact with the enemy". So don't worry about not being able to get overnight video done. Of course, some people are just looking for something to complain about. Keep moving forward!

Outstanding!!

More free tools for the toolbox. You're awesome Corporal!

Another good video with great information!

Great video. I just received my camp companion father's day special. I am loving it.

The prusik is a facinating knot imho. Multiple usages but the example shown here is most basic yet most useful, simple, quick, and so effective. In this application I like to call it "the knot you can take with you." 👍👍

As a climber i say:Well done!

Awesome video once again! Thank you for everything that you do! I finally got the opportunity to purchase your cup and bottle set! Talk about outstanding!❤

As a Navy brat to a 23 year Chief, I grew up reading the knotwork in the Blue Nacket's Manuals.....barely remember most of it, thru lack of use...but I can still rig a block and tackle, and make a sapling tripod for an engine hoist....😊

Cool video! Really like the lighting and closeup of the knots. I have been learning some new knots for tarp hanging, hammocks, all sorts of camping/deck stuff and really appreciate your videos! Put in an order for the cups, they look awesome-can't wait to see how the skillets turn out!

You have your ega no worries. Thank you for your service.

Great video, Corporal!!! What's even better is I finally was in time to purchase your cup and bottle set!!! 😅👍🤟

Very well done. Time and patience

Great video, the over nighters are cool but this was/is way more useful.

Yay Me....I just ordered the nesting cups.... Finally

And my sundays is complet mr sir 😊

Thanks for the great information Corp!

Another awesome video I love the build videos but these are just as important cause if you a shelter but don’t know how to survive or move around the wilderness then the shelter is a nice place to wait and hope 😁👍

Good job on video.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

Outstanding video Corporal ❤️🙏

You mentioned about the rope not intended to catch you if you fall. You could still make it work that way by tying the bowline around yourself and through the Prusik loop. I’ve ascended complete suspension with 1 Prisik on my harness and the second as a foot step like you used as a hand pull.

My left arm doesn't look like that little arm, but it's definitely about as strong 😂 haha I've learned to live with it after the accident hahaha hilarious video love the show! And my son is watching with me again woop!

We actually had to do this scenario in real life when my buddy is sleeping bag came out of his strapping on the bottom outside of his pack with his bedroll and we were on a narrow Goat Trail and it rolled down over a steep embankment and the only way to get back up or down was using a rope not as fancy as your setup but same idea

Thanks! I needed to know those!

Good thing the rope wasn’t in the pack! Nice job common sense approach to bushcraft safety. You do a well thought out presentation.

Awesome video thanks for the great video love ya Corporal

James Bond used his shoelaces tied into prusik loops to climb the rope in For Your Eyes Only. Yes, I've seen it way too many times.

Thx very much Sir👍🏾🙏🏾

Excellent Video

When you said “Time for another mid-week video”, I was thinking “Damn, how did I miss one!?” 😅

Great info video Corporal, always wondered about using rope to go down and get up a hill, thanks for that 👍😁🤙🤙🤙

Really good information. Thanks

Thanks for the good info!

This is fantastic. Wish I had you doing my training all those years ago XD

Great video brother. Thanks. 🫡

Really helpful thank you.

What about tying the end of the bowline that's around you into the prusik to help ascend?

another great one

I'd like to try using the end of the rope as the handle. But when I've had to do it, I've tied it before I thot of trying it and already tied the dead end around my waist. I'm not sure if you said it in this vid but this can be doubled and used to hoist things too: ie your 'Predator trap' video. Great vid! Junkyard Fox sent thanks out to you, I'm sure you already got it but figured I'd pass itnon too!

Another killer video as always

"Outstanding" good things to know

Funny? We have a Duke - they have a Dook. We have Prusik - they have a Proosik

In the Army, we learned something called the Body Rappel. I think you wrapped the rope across your chest, before going around your butt, and your strong hand would be the brake....dont remember exactly. We also went on Adventure Training from the Armed Forces Recreation Center in Garmisch. They taught us to make a harness, 3 ropes/knots and 3 caribiners, forgot the method, cannot find it online. We hiked to Meiler Hutte, did some rappeling and rock climbing in that area.

Great video.

great info

As always, love the content 👊🏻

It takes what it takes

Great video

I believe knots need to be review to keep them in tool box.

It's ok, Corporal, it must be hard to do an overnighter in the woods when your PO keeps checking your ankle monitor GPS. LOL We'll keep watching you and you always put out great stuff no matter what.

Interesting stuff

Why not use a square knot to make the prusik?

Great video. Amazon usually not send mostly items to Europe... (i think)

Good stuff....

good stuff

Out-fuckin-standing 🇺🇲💪🇮🇪

I would think tying the end to yourself would get snagged on your way up😮

Another great video. You keep teaching I keep learning. Question. How does the Prussik hold up when it gets wet?

👍👍🇺🇸 good stuff

Отлично,спасибо!

Shawn, I'd like to recommend another channel to you called "Field Days." Matt (Field?) is not a military guy or survival guy, he's a crazy Aussie fishing adventure dude. His videos aren't really about survival techniques, he just uses them all the time. He goes out on the W. Australia coast with a fishing rod, a few lures, a knife, and usually minimal water, food and gear for three days at a time. He also has a nice rig and a few toys, so some of the adventures are to the middle of no place, or on the ocean. Some of your videos feel like classroom lessons, and sometimes the camp outs seem more like field demonstrations. That is awesome if you are lookin' for 'just the facts jack' how to info. He is out there building a shelter on a beach, or getting the truck unstuck, or catching real food and cooking it just as part of the adventure. The dude eats! I'd pair you two to reboot Dual Survival in a second. You are different dudes, but bro's at heart. He is my other Sunday morning usual but his channel is on a break right now, they had a little one, but there are a ton of vid's to catch up on. You seem to be looking for a way to update your over-nighters, and I think you could find some inspiration in what Matt gets up to. One of the things about knowing survival skills, and being prepared, is that you tend to end up being good at avoiding situations where you need them in the first place. Matt's channel is a good reminder to go out and find everyday adventures to survive, and have some fun doing it. I also think you two could make the colab of the year video, if you were to take your wife to Australia for 'vacation.' Just sayin'...

👍

The Bowline is strong knot for sure. I prefer a figure 8. Easier to tie. Can't get it backwards.
