... Already did, and your Facebook also, too ... though I don't go on FB that much any more ... I am a Vietnam Marine and enjoy your channel better than almost all on here, but there are a couple channels I watch for other reasons than keeping up on the crafts ... Keep up the good work ... OoooRah !! SFMF ...
Pinched or pulled, no b.s. there. I was working on a garage as a rigger for precast concrere and the general form an for the finishers had a picture in his truck that was a "Look at your own risk" type. It was a pic of someone who had their harness to loose between their legs and they had a fall. It ended up popping one testicle out. As for the last guy across, if they aren't already nicknamed the worm, I'd have to call them that. Lol, "worm on a hook"
I am learning so much from this gentleman...you explain it so clearly thank you ...baby steps for now but I am determined! I am an Army brat ..my father was an officer (23 years then retired) and if he was still living he would be proud that I am learning all this! I can’t thank you enough for your service and your help on this channel
DAMN, brings back memories, the slide for Life, MCRD. I made it just before the Marine corps hymn, whenever you heard that you had to snap to attention, no matter where you are or how high. Good ol memories.. thanks for your video. And I was affraid of hights, I still am but that is where I learned how to beat my fears or at least worked through them.
Jeepers, it's been a long time since I have crawled on one of those. Thank you for doing this video. It IS a valuable resource and one heck of a lot of fun to learn and do. Learn, Do and Teach all the way...
This is fabulous! I used to this kind of stuff with my brother when we were in HS. Now I live in a city but your video inspired me to teach these skills to my son. Thanks again.
Hey brother, call me slow but I've just discovered how these videos are organized into sections of skill sets. You have created a large volume of info (searchable at that) regarding simple field skills. This could aid any outdoorsman novice to pro. My nephew's even enjoy this stuff. Thanks for all of the effort you have taken, some people go a whole lifetime and never teach others shit. You did the opposite and not even gray haired yet. Hahaha
Great bridge, great video. We made a bridge like that in the Boy Scouts. Didn't have a fancy Swiss Seat, but we used two smaller ropes as handrails. Still bloody hard to keep your balance The Boy Scout handbook called this a Monkey Bridge. We named ours a Muckey Bridge. The smallest member of our troop was named Mike Muckey. A couple of the bigger fellows picked him up and tossed him as far as they could across the stream with the rope tied around his waist. He then swam and waded to the far side and tied off the main rope to start the bridge. Our scoutmaster wasn't satisfied until we could all cross the bridge without falling off. Scouting was different in those days.
You are so right sir. Scouting WAS different a few decades ago. I was in it in the early 70s and my Scout Master was a great guy. He was also a tank commander in WW2 Europe. A different breed.
Great, thorough video! Thank you for putting this together. Looking forward to setting this up with the kids one of these days. If I may make a few suggestions that could be helpful to folks setting this up: - On the far side anchor, the figure-8 will be significantly easier to untie if it is cinched down all the way before you put tension on it. The correct way to do this is to pull all 4 strands individually i.e. hold one top strand then give each of the bottom strands a solid tug, then repeat holding the other top strand. - When tensioning the line at the near side anchor, you may consider adding a munter hitch or similar on the carabiner as a progress capture. This would ensure you don't lose any tension as you transition from pulling the line taught to making the three-wraps.
Excellent execution of the one rope bridge. I wish there was a small demonstration of what to do if you slip off the top and using your balance leg to upright yourself to being back on top of the rope. Maybe that could be a future lesson.
Thanx 4 showing the commando rope bridge. I am a former Infantry soldier from far back. We were okay, to do those with full packs and our weapons. Feels good to be capable of achieving that. Thanks, friend.🇨🇦
Looks like I'm about 3 years behind the curve, but I wanted to say thanks for the memories. First time I crossed I figured I wasn't coordinated enough to balance on top of a rope so I chose to go underneath. With a really heavy pack on my back - correction - on my shoulders and hanging underneath my back. Big Mistake! To anyone who hasn't done this, it's easier going over the top and don't worry, you will stay balanced. Also, watching you tie the midline butterfly loop reminded me of the Johnny Cash song - the one on the right was on the left and the one in the middle was on the right and the one on the left was in the middle ... Cheers.
I just ran across this video, and your Swiss Seat video. I commented, a couple days ago, on your rant video, that I had just seen, saying that I did NOT believe that you're using stolen valor. This video, and the Swiss Seat video, absolutely PROVES that you aren't using 'stolen valor'!
Thanks for the video. I've been looking for rappelling methods that allow me to retrieve my rope. The one rope bridge with rope retrieval will be a nice skill to add to my bag of tricks, thanks again.
Just catching up. Semper Fi brother.. "slide for life" in Boot camp was my 2nd experience with this bridge..Boy Scouts was the 1st... so glad you demo'd this as most "non" military members dont know. 👍
That's EXACTLY what I wanted to do a while ago, only I didn't know the proper way to do it, I made rope ladders like you showed in a previous video, but hadn't seen this one... so after a few tries the rope I walked on ( it was a long rope that I had running parallel, so you could walk on it and hold on to the rope above your head) now I can do it again PROPERLY
Absolutely excellent video, no one does a video on crossing water on the internet that I have ever seen, I have used Swiss seats before, but I used them with one inch webbing not rope, that was an excellent demonstration on how to cross, you make an excellent teacher, are you sure you weren't a DI !!!
Ooorah Marine! I came across your channel today and love it. Thank you for your service and your channel. The things that you are teaching is stuff I grew up with. But these days no one knows how to survive basic stuff. Love your logo. Turbo
Great video. I remember doing that in basic. Seems like 90% of the guys ended up hanging underneath and crossing and then you had the dummies that dropped in the water. Good times
You can also slide backwards feet first when sliding down from a higher height to a lower anchored spot (building to building). You just "airplane your arms" for balance with one leg down and the opposite foot on the rope and go. We never had a D-Ring or seat when we did it and to be honest looking back it would have been a good idea. Great video.

As always extremely valuble information!!! Wish i was in a quarter of the shape you are in! You are a great teacher! Thank you!
We played at doing this as a child. This was a memory reminder with more professional moves.
Thanks for the class. NC
You inform and explain so well on bushcraft and survival
Great to see this demonstrated by an obvious expert. Thank you! I'll practice the new knots I saw here.

This channel is true survival, not 4x4/weekend camping!
Brilliantly explained in detail.
Outstanding videos Corporal

Thanks for all of the effort you have taken, some people go a whole lifetime and never teach others shit. You did the opposite and not even gray haired yet. Hahaha
Everybody that's watching I told you guys corporals Corner the best RUclips channel around
We are very fortunate to have men like this in our arsenal. Thank you!
I've got one testicle that really hates this bridge. The other isn't a fan either.
Man up move them to one side easier, been there done that, good luck
You've never experienced pain til you get one caught lol
Hahaha..this is real shit.
Cross over on the underside.
Hurts like hell when you get one caught.
This video deserves more than a like! Outstanding! Once again, awesome. I've learned so much from you.
Thank you! Sir.
Interesting video...ty.

If it ain't raining it ain't training
We ain’t training
Great stuff
It was so much fun doing this in high school jrotc

I haven't seen this demonstration in a long time and this is a perfect execution.

Brings back memories of the obstacle course on PI.

Awesome video and very well detailed. Had got curious about this technique and of all the videos on here yours was the most detailed.
Awesome job! Thanks for the vid!
Great job. This reminds me in 92 in the jungle warefare station down here on the Amazon, Brazil. But at that time no carabiner!
This looks so fun!
Excellent. Thank YOU!
wow. I had never thought of doing something like this. it looks fun.
Excellent info 👌 great video thanks man
Great tips, thanks, I liked!
You must live in the pacific north west with all of this rain all the time.
Well now I just want to go set one of these up just for fun and it’d be a good workout
Great video. I remember doing that in basic. Seems like 90% of the guys ended up hanging underneath and crossing and then you had the dummies that dropped in the water. Good times
