Corporal, I'm a 67 yr old (VN ERA vet, never in country, European duty due to MOS, i.e Pershing Missile related). Of all your vids I've watched, this one has got to be listed as my #1 favorite. Teaching a youth, assuming your son, is one of the greatest things I have seen you do. Trust me, at my age I know what I'm talking about, the memory you and your son will have of days like the one creating this vid will bring a smile on your faces in the years to come. Cherish them. One other thing, maybe you could let the young man join you in more of your teaching vids. Would be great for all of us to watch and learn from you as you pass down your knowledge not only to RUclipsrs but your off spring as well. I say it that way because you may have a girl as well. Keep up the outstanding work your doing.
Good show Dad. The only thing I would add to both rope bridge and knot videos is the fact that the butterfly knot puts far less stress on the rope than other knots, making it the best knot for mid-line connections.
Cool to see a father & son together having fun in nature...lil man was having as much if not more fun than his dad....awesome job guys keep up the great work...
Man I love your channel! Thanks for doing what you do! I have a small tract of timber in east Texas and you’ve given me a ton of ideas for me and young boys to do out there. Thanks!
Your son is incredibly lucky to have a father that does things like this with him. Some father's are violent drunks, others are just emotionally detached and couldn't care less about spending time with their sons or teaching them anything.
Another top notch video!! Your son is lucky to have you for his dad! I can only imagine the wealth of information he will learn over the years from your experiences! As you say, Outstanding!! Good to go!
I appreciate the close ups of the knot work, its been awhile since I had to do this stuff and I cant remember alot of the knot names and techniques. Thanks again
Me at 252.2 pounds at 6 foot, being a firefighter, watching corporals corner do some rope bridges, sees his son doing it. What my girlfriend hears: "DAMN IT THIS KID IS MORE BAD ASS THAN I AM"
Hey, boss, can you show us how to get across in the first place if you can't swim across? Like if you're trying to get from one roof top to another and there's contaminated flood water, or something. Can you use a crossbow or grappling hook or something?
As always, done with perfection! Thanks for the safety hints and advice! Thanks so much, Sir! And best regards to your kid - I was lucky enough to share time and stuff with my father: those were amongst the best times and gifts of my life. And finally, that's what life is all about... Thanks a lot and best from Germany to you and your beloved ones, Tom
Hello. I was wondering what type of carabiners can be used for this. Aluminum? Steel? ABS plastic? Or will any material do as long as it's the right size?
Corporals Corner Hi Cpl I just found it 😊. It's in another video, "crossing the one rope bridge with gear." The close up of the carabiner there was big and clear. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks again for the awesome videos.
You wouldn't want to leave ropes exposed like this for a long period of time, the UV light damage will eventually break them down. For a more permanent solution, I'd go with steel cable. You'd want to be careful not to damage the bark and would probably need to redo the anchors occasionally to avoid damaging the tree long term.
The only thing more metal than jamming to metal while training rigging over water in the woods with your son on Corporals Corner would be grilling some steaks and... Nevermind. That's about as metal as it gets. Rock on!
I saw someone fall off a two-rope bridge, so I came to RUclips to learn how to do it properly, and this was the first video I came across. I must say, you remind me of Steven Seagal.
May you explain us why you choose alpine butterfly loop over the usual truckers hitch loop ? More leverage ? Not breaking the rope ? I would like to know more about why this or that knot, and the mindset behind :) Thanks !
that is very easy to say!! Say to one person that he/she must cross a very wild river or when that water is freezing cold!! Have you thought about that? Even when it is not possible to cross it whit a boat. What if the distance is more than 50yards or when you are alone? What to do when there is no anchor point at the other site? No trees only rocks or open field? Suppose you are whit 10person, the first must swim, 8 people can across whit that bridge but the last person not because he must stay for loosen everything and then? Also, swimming? I also see that you are pulling at that rope, I suppose that you never can have it stretched strong enough, so why don't you use a snatch block?
I know this video came out a long time ago but I'd never gone back to see it since it was from before I started watching the channel. Very imformative. I learned a couple of new knots. I now know where the scene from the start of all your videos comes from so glad this showed up in my queue today!
I was taught a different way of tying the alpine butterfly, by making a ccw loop and twisting it twice ccw and taking the bite under and through the centre of the twist. Thoughts?
Mike Moore I tried learning it that way frm another YT channel and I had to do it multiple times to get it right and remember it, but then forgot after a couple of weeks. Seriously, I watched this video once, sat on a couch with a meter of paracord and got it right the first time and every time since then. This channel is weird, like it makes you remember stuff. I think that's because it goes right into application and then reinforced with repetition on every other video.
Jee Whizz Corporal I thaught u somehow managed to "clone" yourself! Then I realized the young man must be family as he's got your look's, right down to the "shade's"! Plenty of time on our hands here so keep coming across these golden oldie's from u. Outstanding video as usual. Stay Safe, keep that lil dude safe and of course Salute and Respect ♥
Love your channel corporal, I’m a new subscriber brought in from your solo over night vids and reviews but enjoy your entire catalog. Just to echo off everyone else comments this has to be my favorite video. My father brought me out camping at a young age and I have many, many cherished memories with him in the outdoors. Seeing you with your son spending quality time in nature, having fun is an amazing thing, reminded me of my childhood with my dad. I wish you happy Father’s Day and thank you for your hard work on your videos.
Great video. Can you comment on the use of gloves/no-gloves for postman rope bridge crossing? IMO would prefer training both ways in controlled environment.
I know it's an old video, but these experiences shape the lives of young people. No matter what paths they find themselves on along the way...these times help them find their way to the core character that can guide them.
Nice to see the young man being so confident,he has a great teacher.You are very good at explaining and makes any task look very easy.Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us
One of the best teachers on You Tube by a mile. Explain things clearly plus love that you pause for a while on a knot, etc so we can take in how it should look. Makes we want to go out and do these things when lockdown ends.

Well said Brother, I agree whole heartedly with u. Thanks for your service too Brother. Salute and Respect. ♥
Young firefighter to older military veteran, thank you for your service, but now it's my turn to serve YOU!
Thank you for your Service Sir! Greatest Generation!
Just bought a house with that span of trees in the backyard....showed this to my son....will be learning this together. Thanks!
So cool
Oh! Wow. I just happened on this particular video and it's wonderful to see how the ending credits that I've seen for a few years now; came to be!!❤
Gotta get your son wearing a bandana like dad. Thanks for sharing. Never too young to learn life’s skills.
It's cool you brought your son.
He's the rock star not me, thanks for watching
+Corporals Corner hi
+Corporals Corner cen you do a nuther more vid
+Corporals Corner duse your son won't to join the marine
It's cool your brought your Slave-i mean son to help you with bushcraft hehe
Cool!!!! Thanks, for demonstrating this simple, but useful knowledge!!!
Good show Dad. The only thing I would add to both rope bridge and knot videos is the fact that the butterfly knot puts far less stress on the rope than other knots, making it the best knot for mid-line connections.
this remains one of the most informative, nuts-and-bolts channels on YT. Well done. PS - great kid!!
Thank you, spread the word about my channel so It can grow
A future Marine in the making...nothing wrong with early training. Pretty cool. Semper Fi.
I really enjoy your videos and instruction. I have learned all my knots from you. Keep up the great work.
More to come, thanks for watching and for the support
Little dude is medium dude now.
Outstanding AF!
06/30/2022 Second watchingh. Good to see you working with a boy. He needs training and one on one male time. Very good. Don
great job by your young assistant
Thanks
Cool to see a father & son together having fun in nature...lil man was having as much if not more fun than his dad....awesome job guys keep up the great work...
Outstanding Corporal!. I Got-Dam guarantee their aint no single moms out there teaching their sons that. Carry on.
Buck Fifty what does that mean? Women’ can do these things. And if you were a father you would teach your daughter, because she not worth the effort?
Buck Fifty Obama never had a Father to teach him anything. Corporal is awesome! Boys need Fathers.
Wrong!
Absolutely right!
If I were your mother I'd teach you not to be sexist.
great videp.that's a very lucky young boy,learning survival so early in life, and from an expert father.
hi john this is Erika from school I like your youtube chanel
He says thank you and he will see you at school
@@recall5811
Aww, that was awesome.
Well, I stuck around young man. Glad I did. Thanks. Another video for my grandson.
Man I love your channel! Thanks for doing what you do! I have a small tract of timber in east Texas and you’ve given me a ton of ideas for me and young boys to do out there. Thanks!
Absolutely awesome 😎
very cool when a father and son team.thank you for the lesson
Thank you for sharing your passion
Your son is incredibly lucky to have a father that does things like this with him. Some father's are violent drunks, others are just emotionally detached and couldn't care less about spending time with their sons or teaching them anything.
Awesome series! Great to see a young man "learning the ropes"! Carry on.
Another top notch video!! Your son is lucky to have you for his dad! I can only imagine the wealth of information he will learn over the years from your experiences! As you say, Outstanding!! Good to go!
Glad your son will learn something for his future! And not turn him into a liberal punk like tv does to every child this day and age... so thank you
Very cool video
Always love videos when a parent includes their kid.
this is awesome....its my learning for the day, thank you very much, another skill in my box of knowledge
Great kid you've got there, Corporal. You come up with some unique projects.
I appreciate the close ups of the knot work, its been awhile since I had to do this stuff and I cant remember alot of the knot names and techniques. Thanks again

❤❤❤❤❤ very nice
Shared. Timeless even after years. A great simple tutorial

Well I’ll be... there’s hope for the next generation.
Awesome video nice to see your son in it, he seems like a smart smart man
Awesome job with both the technical instruction, and the parenting!
Thank you
can you do more videos like this
Go to my main page and look under rope bridges. Thanks for watching
Thanks once a gain for a clear and well thought out presentation. ATB. Nigel
Thank you Sir for the continued support
Little Dude looked very comfortable on the bridge. Outstanding!
As always, done with perfection! Thanks for the safety hints and advice! Thanks so much, Sir!

Out-STANDING young man ya got there, corporal. BOO-YAH!
Hello. I was wondering what type of carabiners can be used for this. Aluminum? Steel? ABS plastic? Or will any material do as long as it's the right size?
They are shown in the video. Thanks for watching

Wow! Your boy's growing quick. Outstanding video.
👍👍👍
Awesome video. Looks like a lot of fun. I’m going to show this video to my stepdad so we can add this to our survival book. Thank you
Thank you--great tutorial. Would this work long term or would it kill the tree over time?
You wouldn't want to leave ropes exposed like this for a long period of time, the UV light damage will eventually break them down.
For a more permanent solution, I'd go with steel cable. You'd want to be careful not to damage the bark and would probably need to redo the anchors occasionally to avoid damaging the tree long term.
A chip off the Marine Corps block. Great Vid.

Outstanding. Teaching life skills to leaders of tomorrow is critical to the Republics survive. Well done sir.

Fantastic video that will inspires others to quality team work 😊😊👏👏 little due sure is GREAT!!
Great !! So....that's where the cool ending comes from. And such a nice young man.
IS the alpine butterfly better than a quick marline spike? Like you would do on a truckers hitch.
Outstanding video devil dog. My questions is how can you recover your rope? You may need it for another crossing.
EXCELLENT demonstration. Your son is so lucky to have you.
Not sure I'd trust the gate hinge pins on the carabiners. I might want to add another safety line to a second butterfly, just to be safe.
Excellent, and great help from the little man!
Though not so little now considering this was three years ago.
Anyone ever make a bridge like this but without carbiners, instead using a trucker's hitch on the main lines?
GR8 video! Thank you loved the knots!
I was taught a different way of tying the alpine butterfly, by making a ccw loop and twisting it twice ccw and taking the bite under and through the centre of the twist. Thoughts?
There is always more than one way to do something.

7:55 Lol, that kid and his nod, that cracked me up!
Cool to watch. Simple to understand. Thanks for yet another tool to add to the arsenal.
Thank you corporal. From Japan.
Hey man love your videos can you do a video on a transport tightening system used in us army ranger rope bridging
Very cool. It took your sons weight but what about your weight?.M.
The only thing your not telling the layman is your to use static line for this maybe that will be anther video
Use tree protectors please. Especially on trees with softer bark like redwoods etc.
Static vs Dynamic rope makes a difference FYI
Nice lesson men.
I think this is one my favorites, Sean. Carry on Corporal.
Great stuff, keep posting!
So if you can get to the other side what's the sense of making the bridge?
What kind of rope would you recommend and where can one get it?
Great video. Should have your son help more often 😃
That was indeed good to go
Where in the heck is this corporal? Sean Kelly where are you?
Ahhhh, medium sized dude when he was a little dude. 😁
If there is ditch in the middle then how to go to the other side
Excellent job Corporal. Oorah
Outstanding!
Very cool can’t wait to take my kids out and
Just one question. Shouldn't the carabiner on the top rope be placed in between the two hands rather outside the hand?
I could see making this into a "ready-to-go" kit, so you have a 50' bridge kit or a 100' bridge kit.
Can you provide some more detail about the line used?
Jee Whizz Corporal I thaught u somehow managed to "clone" yourself! Then I realized the young man must be family as he's got your look's, right down to the "shade's"! Plenty of time on our hands here so keep coming across these golden oldie's from u. Outstanding video as usual. Stay Safe, keep that lil dude safe and of course Salute and Respect ♥
Active fathers are the coolest people around.

Finally the corporal gets a private!
you know clones are still illegal right? lol
Ha!
I wanted to see Cpl. Cross (and not get boots wet).
I know it's an old video, but these experiences shape the lives of young people. No matter what paths they find themselves on along the way...these times help them find their way to the core character that can guide them.
Super cute little guy. Not you, corporal.
