    I love rigging! My wife and her friends make fun of me for always being prepared. We were out at a meal and the subject of grappling hooks came up, and her friend said "I bet Steve has a grappling hook in his truck". I told her that wasn't right. When we were driving home my wife told me she was sure I would have had one in there. I said "a grappling hook" is singular..... I have three different sizes in there 🤣

    This was a cool episode. Thanks! I have a heavy duty duffle bag fiiled with every kind of rope, from string to tow rope and lots of fun hardware to go with it. My sister and I could rig up a camp to keep 15 people dry and out of the wind. Even rigged a canvas cover for keeping a cooking fire dry. What a blast! Brought bac some great memories.😊

    We are on a cruise this week so this rigging video is perfectly timed. Everywhere I look on this ship there is some sort of neat rigging. I enjoy the "how not to" channel, Ryan does an excellent job breaking all the forces at play when rigging for climbers. Great stuff. Cheers

    I snagged one of those Craftsman cutters for five bucks at our flea market today. They are nice. I used to volunteer on a couple of mountain rescue outfits back when I was a paramedic, and we--obviously--used lots of carabiners, pulleys and other rigging. Even though I had been a climber, I learned a ton about rigging during those years. Good show. Wayne out West

    Great minds think alike. I have always loved ropes, shackles, rigging, etc. I even had a small sailboat for a while where I replaced all of the lines. But, you know what they say about boats: The two best days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. Thanks!

    Thanks John, I was. very fortunate to have a great rope and knot work teacher in my Dad, from his time in the Merchant Navy, and this set me up well for the Scouts. I particularly enjoyed tying lashings and remember a project constructing an A frame and using pulleys and blocks to raise heavy weights - ancient technology !
    I'm not so familiar with the climbing equipment but now think I really need one of those Grappling hooks - memories of the commando assault in the Guns of Navarone ! 😉

    I took Pioneering Merit Badge to the extreme and was an Army Combat Engineer. We played with some ropes but mostly with wire ropes. I use my tractor and a wire rope to pull down trees. Still got my Army carbanger from 50 years ago but don't remember how to tie a swiss seat. Another good video. Good Luck, Rick

    Well you brought back memories of working in a bucket truck. I had the body harness with a Lanyard. I had to hook myself to the bucket with the lanyard. I actually enjoyed working in the air. Mine only went to 40’. For an old man it was enough. My coworkers called me MacGyver because I had tools , flashlight, wrist magnet in my pockets besides my tool belt. I did not like going back and forth to get tools or material. Thanks for the memories of working!

    I highly recommend everyone stop buy a store that sells rigging equipment and browse around. A lot of those places are open to the general public and they really don't mind you just looking around. Seeing the stuff in person is a totally different experience as opposed to just looking at it online.

    John, rigging is another point of connection for you and I (scouts, ham radio [KB1LOY], woodworking, and now RIGGING!). I am a rigging expert. I planned and successfully executed more than 10,000 Critical Lifts in my career in the heavy construction contracting business. Great show, spot on descriptions, and hands on display of many useful rigging devices. Always so enthusiastic!

  • @stephenparker1428
    @stephenparker1428 10 месяцев назад +2

    Like you, I've always enjoyed ropes and associated rigging. When I joined the AFD in Austin, Texas in 1977 the first thing they issued everybody was a five foot piece of rope that we carried with us constantly so when we had any down time we could(better be) practice our knots and rigging. Long time retired now, but I still practice my knots to this day. I need to get that army rigging manual...instead of the grappling hook.

  • @cheekymonkey444
    @cheekymonkey444 10 месяцев назад +2

    I agree. I have had several cutting tools like that for a long time. They are excellent for squaring a cut on vinyl, silicone, latex, and rubber tubing. Especially garden hose and automotive heater hoses.
    A friend of mine and his wife had a horse farm. One particular horse didn't like having his halter clipped to a walking lead. He would twist around and snap the spring clip. I suggested he get a carabiner. That solved the problem of broken hardware. And after awhile that horse learned he wasn't going to break the clip and accepted the lead.

    Hi John , my days of roping and sheeting are done now. But you never forget how to do a dolly knot. A long time ago, I worked for Clogwyn Climbing Gear in Deiniolen when a guy called Denny Morehouse owned it. It’s a small world isn’t it, I enjoyed that film.

    I leaned knots like you first from my father, scouts, work. It's amazing how much we use knots in everyday life.
    My first exposure to a grappling hook was in the 1960s from my GI Joes and the movie The Longest Day, climbing the cliffs.
    Good video👍🏻

  • @57WillysCJ
    @57WillysCJ 10 месяцев назад +1

    Good selection of gear. I do need to get a safety set for working on the roof. I am just not as sure footed as I use to be. When I has young we used little in putting a roof on. Maybe one roof scaffold at the bottom. This roof is steep enough to not need snow removal. That means to steep to climb. I do admire the new rigging for vehicle winches as well. Don't forget the Pueblo gpo or more easily known as the government book store. Their Ebook section has just about everything produced by the military. Speaking of military rigging the movies showing airplane rigging failing has got to be the goofiest thing out there.

    You missed your calling, you really should’ve been a Bomb Technician! I did that work for quite a few years and it was the best job I ever had. We spent a lot of time driving and working on robots, building things, and using a lot of tools, all of which I know you would have enjoyed. Regarding today’s video, sometimes rigging was a useful tool to move things from a distance. You can use your imagination about what a bomb technician might need to move. Useful for that purpose are breakaway pulleys, very helpful if you needed to move something out of a bedroom and navigate doorways, hallways, and other obstacles. I actually stumbled across your channel years ago researching lubricants for our robots. Loved the first video I saw, and have been a dedicated viewer ever since. Keep up the great work and thank you for all you do.

    My grandfather started truck driving before ratchet straps. He could perfectly secure loads with ropes. Sometimes using just one rope for a whole bed of hay bails (the small square ones) . It would not come off! I only came around way after the ratchets straps so he could never teach me. All the knowledge lost..

    John, Always awesome 'guy' content. Love it. Never miss. I'm in the Rust Belt - western PA. Old industrial region - lots of farm, industrial, mining, railroad, forestry history/artifacts/tools/'steam' shows, etc. Awesome for people like 'us' - ScoutCrafter addicts! Last week I tried to 'look away!' on the r'deer screwdrivers - really - I tried! They're being delivered tomorrow!!! I know I'm off-topic for this video, but bear with me. The things that got me were the awesome metal parts and those handles - the whole freakin' thing - the square shafts on the slotteds - the striking caps - - the hex profile at the handle-end of the shafts - everything - just like you, it worked on my brain! But here's a thought: ong ong obust ools, imited is the manufacturer of those screwdrivers. What if they made handles in various colors: emerald green, cobalt blue, clear, smoke gray, deep purple, orange - vivid acrylic/acetate handles (the acetate breakdown problem seems to be history, right?)? Hazard fraught has eight or nine colors of tool boxes! We all love those old green SK driver handles. C'mon man! I bet they'd sell like hotcakes. So, do you have any pull with HKRTL? We need those candy colored handles!!

    • @ScoutCrafter
      @ScoutCrafter  10 месяцев назад

      The screwdrivers are a bit more orange than the video shows. I really like the color and have used them a couple times already as the blade sizes are really well suited for different tasks. I hope you like them. 😃👍

You might be safe but try telling that to your brain. Plus what old guy wants to be rescued by some 20 year old co-ed in front of his wife? That harness and carabiner becomes your best friend.
