Something I've never paid attention to before is the beauty and art of knot tying. Some of the designs the knots make are a work of art that's also functional.
You made me realize explaining the knot is almost as important as execution. learned during high angle training that dressing the knot is important for showing a court i can tie but your ability to explain what was done is second to none. Thanks!
I have watched a lot of videos of people showing you how to tie various knots; you are actually teaching us how to tie these knots, and I would say, very effectively. Thank you!
You never stop creating great videos, teaching people how to enjoy the out of doors it's a wonderful thing, but they're also learning survival skills, once again thank you so much for your great videos God bless and have a wonderful day !!!
It takes a lot to earn my subscription. I have watched a lot of your videos and this one was the one to tip the scale. You have a great teaching style. Low key and humble without a bunch of needless chatter. Thank you for taking the time to make a channel that is a great asset to the RUclips community.
Excellent Sir. Well done. If I may, another great use for the Alpine Butterfly loop is to use it to quickly isolate a damaged section of your rope. Just make the damaged rope part of the loop, dress and tighten normally. You now have the damaged part of the rope isolated in the loop and your rope is back to normal use and strength.
*@Rod Idlewild* I think that’s a great idea, though I’m pretty sure the rope would be weaker than full strength because of the knot. If you see people doing hydraulic stress tests of rope they tend to break at specific locations within the various knots because of how the knot applies increasingly severe stress on particular spots as they tighten under load. I’m definitely not knocking your idea, I think it’s great! Though I don’t think it’s full strength, it’s reduced to whatever the break strength of the knot is, which I think for the alpine butterfly is something like 75% of the rope strength. The channel alanleeknots has some knot tests published. Cheers!
I love the knots you showed us and have saved the video to practice with later on and eventually put into use in the field. It would have been great if the Air Force had taught all of us how to use rope to do that, but they didn't and I am now retired and have the time, and material and want to use it for camping out. The knowledge you are giving us is so valuable and helpful in many situations and I thank you so much for sharing it.
Never have tied the Farmer's Loop, but will try this midline loop. Have tied the others, but not since backing off on climbing. Obviously I need to practice these all over again, and your video demonstrations will make that easier. Thanks for the instruction once again.
Just wanted to say your teaching skills are top notch my friend. I've been learning knots for a while and the way you showed it worked for me like no other so thank you bud. Great work. I understood everything perfectly..thx again
Thank you Sir! I've been practicing and improving. Your videos clear, succinct, and provide straightforward instruction for the lesson at hand. One can tell that you have taught before. I built my first lean-to with no practice and it kept my firewood dry in a northern Michigan downpour. I only relied on my memory of the instructional videos you produced and it worked exactly as you described. Keep up the great work! Thanks again
you are my favorite ....no doubt. makes my day lighter and happier. you should get the you tube gold award...heres why. #1 your channel does not project fear. #2 your very easy to follow and learn from solely on your tone of voice and instruction. #3 ya love bacon.....#4 youre easy on the eye.
I love your videos. Your explanations and demonstrations are in-depth, so while your videos may be longer than others, I actually learn the information more quickly and I don't have to stop and rewind the video 5x just so I can see what you're doing. Thank you and keep up the good work!
When I wanna learn something bushcraft/camping I end up on your channel first. Saves me looking for my answer from a 2nd tier teacher. Keep it up, really enjoy expanding my knowledge from novice to experienced as I implement techniques learned here.
Hey Corporal: you inspired me. I think you can make the alpine butterfly even easier by wrapping in the order 1 3 2 to begin with rather than starting with 1 2 3 and moving 3 2. If you just wrap under your thumb on your left hand, then spaced out a little wrap again by the middle of the palm, then for the third wrap go between the two existing wraps. Now pull 3 over 2 and 1, under them and back out to form the loop as usual. I think it’s subjectively easier to learn and teach and also tie. Wrapping in the new order is necessarily faster than fiddling with two cords after doing the old three wraps. I learned to tie from you. Thank you! You are an excellent teacher and I’m in awe of your skills and knowledge! Have a great week!
Just have to say... my wife and I greatly appreciate you putting your time and energy into teaching your survival skills like you do. These skills are priceless. Tonight we're watching your videos on tying knots. Thankyou for your hard work! I personally would love to join you on an episode.
Thank you CC for the instructions. I never knew there was another easier way for a bowline. I learned the rabbit hole tree method. Yours is much easier. Also the Alpine butterfly is very handy as I always tied a bowline for a midline loop to chinch down a load, but always had to use much excess line for the rabbit end to finish the loop. The midline loop is much easier anywhere on the line and fantastic. Ooh Rah!
Your vocal instructions combo with visual tutalage is outstanding, easy to move with you. You have made complex simple and hard easy. Thank you, I like to sub to people such as yourself, you seem assured and confident and I believe you tutor that also, thumbs up👍
What a wonderful, useful and interesting channel you have! Your skills, tips and tricks have allowed me to improve my safety when working with trees! Sincerely wishing the channel good luck and prosperity, new interesting videos!
When I was guiding and packing supplies for the USFS I'd use the mid-line loop on my "high-line. When ot was time to set up camp a long 1/2 inch rope was stretched about 6 feet off the ground between trees. The high-line is tied up using the same knots you use for a tarp ridgeline. bowlin on one end and Dutchman (trucker's hitch( on the other. The mid-line loops one per mule can still get pulled pretty tight it they pull back while tied up. The high line helps keep the lead rope high so the animal can't get a leg over it To keep the loop from getting too tight I cut a chunk of half inch sapling and slip it under the loop before dressing the knot down. When I got ready to pack out in the morning, I could just pull that toggle and the knot came out slick as ya please. Thanks for what you do Corporal! Carry on ;)
Great stuff Shaun. I appreciate your use of thick bright cordage for your demonstrations and the close-ups of each knot at the end of each demonstration. Well done, sir!
For some reason the bowline is a hard one for me to remember. It never clicks. Ive managed to get by with a figure 8 on a bite, a clove hitch and my prussics. However the alpine seemed a lot more difficult in the fire academy. Ive practiced it several times in real world scenarios and it was this video that made it “click”. Thank you Sir!
Great video. I think a video on the creation of a "loop ladder" incorporating the different mid-line loops and anchors in this video would be a pretty cool watch.
This is very useful information. This is a great video. Bowline is one of the most useful knots to use in a lot of applications. Hope you made it ok with your flooding situation. I feel for you. I know what it is. Thanks Semper Fi. Charles
You do a fantastic job of demonstrating how to tie all the various knots and explaining their uses. Still yet you would find yourself reaching for the popcorn while laughing at me as, I watch your videos TRYING to duplicate the knots. 🤣
Shawn you would have made a good squid, lol. What sets you apart I think is the alternate ways you tie some knots. Cool stuff. Glad I found this one too. Keep kicking brother.
Good video! Added this to my favorites. I like the way this goes beyond the knot itself, and shows it used as an anchor point on the tree. Thanks, Sir. Think I will subscribe, too, like the no nonsense! Just practiced the Alpine Butterfly midline loop! It is a thing of beauty! You are one of the best teachers for knots!
Great bowline method, I have been teaching that method for 43 years, learned from a British rockclimber teaching a climbing gym class at UMASS Amherst 1973, Alaska commercial fisherman will not tie a bowline that method, I know, I was one for 10 years, they still tie old school. "Rabbit running around trees, into holes, etc, ha, ha." I got no time for Rabbits
Yesterday had my first rapel and climbing session by myself in the wilderness and guess what, all I used I had learned it from your videos, I even used the swiss chair as I didn't have a harness lol. Love your videos man, greetings from Andalusia, Spain!
that's great, please keep in mind that this video wasn't about rappelling. It was about knots and emergency rope bridges. Please seek professional advice on future rappels. Thanks for watching
I know knots well enough but was surprised by that first one. Easily done and undone. Well done.🤗😁🤗 The only knot I am having trouble with is the easy finishing knot.🤗😶🤗 I was taught just to marry the cordage together with turns and a half hitch. It works but your overhand knot is neater and even more secure. That is good cordage. It doesn't deform in the knot. Your weird configurations are weirding out my mind. Too much all at once. Time to put you on pause for a while.🤗 I love the rain especially the sound of it. If not soaking wet I can function in it just fine.
Well explained, thanks. I am really interested in knowing what knots are best for what jobs. I always use a bowline for everything but my climbing friends don’t approve and use the double figure of eight. I can’t see the problem with a bowline. It would be interesting in knowing the in’s and out’s of each knot. Would you consider a video explaining navigation in bad weather not using gps. Regards from a scout leader from England.
Great video, I really like your instructions, very easy to follow , thanks ! Have you ever made a video about ropes, cords etc. and the differences between ? I couldn't find one on your channel , and it'd be great to see one done your style . Just a suggestion .
As soon as I saw that olive drab Marine hoodie, I thought "this shit is legit!" Thanks for sharing, I am going to watch more of your easy to follow videos later! And thank you for serving our country!
Question: how much do these two midline loops affect your rope strength? I believe the method for your 1st there is the lightening bowline, cuz its fast. Certainly clear concise presentation, thankyou.
The loss of strength involved in tying one kind of midline loop vs another is basically irrelevant. Whatever the safety factor for your rope is, once you put in a knot, derate it 50%. But I wouldn't feel comfortable relying on any rope small enough that I even have to think about that stuff. The exception to the above is using amsteel/spectra/dyneema (UHMWPE). Just don't knot those at all.
A few things to mention. You could also use an inline figure eight which is tied in the direction it will be use but is always parallel with the line. In Rescue, we don't like putting the tension on a knot when it come with anchors. We like to use Tensionless Hitches, Wrap 3 Pull 2, or a basket hitch,
I really enjoyed your cordage rope and kots video. yeah I know it's about 2 years old but it really is a good one to go back and review. I hope you get you 250 soon. Thanks for all the videos, sorry I do not respond to everyone, but they're all good. I like how you tie The knot's and explain a major retiring them. Gingdah
Have you tried a Yosemite finish on your running bowline, I think it makes a cleaner finish and keeps the double overhand out of the way of the running line. Takes a couple seconds longer. Like your videos, concise and well framed on the knots.

Why wouldn’t you just cut out the damaged rope and re tie like a normal person?
The best channel to learn all the practical outdoor stuff. Simple, to the point and a host with an amazing attitude.
Thank you. 🙏

This is the kind of video you watch a couple times a year as a refresher so you don't forget how to do it.
I loved the last knot you showed - farmers knot, it is exactly what I was looking for! Easy to make and for my need really useful!
that WAS outstanding, that was the first time i've seen to tie a bowline like that QUICK AND SIMPLE..watching again..
Thank you for taking the time to make your video in a way that clearly shows how to tie the knots correctly.

The rain sound puts me to sleep. Reminds me of the rain sound on my football helmet as I sat the bench all high school. LOL
thanks for your show and sure its a good helpful knots in many situations in our life and with macrame working especially plant hanging
Your vocal instructions combo with visual tutalage is outstanding, easy to move with you. You have made complex simple and hard easy. Thank you, I like to sub to people such as yourself, you seem assured and confident and I believe you tutor that also, thumbs up👍

He probably doesn’t like being called “sir” considering he’s hanging his hat on being an E4 in the Marines twenty years ago.
That was awesome AF Corp. Thank you, Sir. Your knots are great!
For some reason the bowline is a hard one for me to remember. It never clicks. Ive managed to get by with a figure 8 on a bite, a clove hitch and my prussics. However the alpine seemed a lot more difficult in the fire academy. Ive practiced it several times in real world scenarios and it was this video that made it “click”. Thank you Sir!
Thanks a ton for keeping me up to date on these important woods skills!
Knot sorcery! I could not look away. Great video, Corporal.
I wish someone taught me this when I was a young man. Now I know! Thanks
Great video. I think a video on the creation of a "loop ladder" incorporating the different mid-line loops and anchors in this video would be a pretty cool watch.

have not seen an alpine butterfly in a while. outstanding
:) I also use 8mm static line for practice on my garden tree. I still have allot to learn. Thanks for this. You are a saviour! THUMB UP!
Finally someone who is showing the easiest way to tie knots and clearly top job and greetings from Australia! 😊just subbed
You do a fantastic job of demonstrating how to tie all the various knots and explaining their uses. Still yet you would find yourself reaching for the popcorn while laughing at me as, I watch your videos TRYING to duplicate the knots. 🤣
Excellent video . Extremely informative . A massive help
i love how its raining at the same time, makes it feel more "survival"
Yeah man, sitting inside watching someone else tie knots while it's raining in the video is survival at its most primal.
Another well done video sir. Those are great knots for anyone's arsenal.
Have never seen that method of tying the Alpine butterfly loop, thanks!
Way better than the other knot videos I've been watching. Thank You.
Brother, you have a knack for concise explanation. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks
thankyou so much for sharing this important but often overlooked information. knowledge is a very valueable tool !
Great demo of a rapid bowline knot.
Thank you so.much for using bright color rope.
Great content I’ve watched for years
Love the sound of the rain
Shawn you would have made a good squid, lol. What sets you apart I think is the alternate ways you tie some knots. Cool stuff. Glad I found this one too. Keep kicking brother.

If you can't learn from this Marine you can't be taught. Outstanding.
You make it easier for me and others, excellent job corporal!!

that's great, please keep in mind that this video wasn't about rappelling. It was about knots and emergency rope bridges. Please seek professional advice on future rappels. Thanks for watching
I know knots well enough but was surprised by that first one. Easily done and undone. Well done.🤗😁🤗
The only knot I am having trouble with is the easy finishing knot.🤗😶🤗
I was taught just to marry the cordage together with turns and a half hitch.
It works but your overhand knot is neater and even more secure.
That is good cordage. It doesn't deform in the knot.
Your weird configurations are weirding out my mind.
Too much all at once. Time to put you on pause for a while.🤗
I love the rain especially the sound of it.
If not soaking wet I can function in it just fine.

Navigation is navigation. Watch my land navigation playlist. Thanks for watching
Nicely presented. No fluff.
Thank you for the useful videos, I've subscribed! Now i need to practice those knots.
great job and step by step instructions sir!!! thanks much and blessings!!
This soundtrack is awesome.
Corporal is at it again. Training in the raining.
Loved it... Its definitely one to watch over and over.. Cheers.
Why am I just seeing this now I’ve been watching you for over a year
Great video, I really like your instructions, very easy to follow , thanks !
Have you ever made a video about ropes, cords etc. and the differences between ? I couldn't find one on your channel , and it'd be great to see one done your style .
Just a suggestion .
i messed with the knots in this video for hours too... excellent... i got it! sure do thank you!!! excellent thumbed up!
Awesome video for learning simple knots an loops. Thanks.
As soon as I saw that olive drab Marine hoodie, I thought "this shit is legit!" Thanks for sharing, I am going to watch more of your easy to follow videos later! And thank you for serving our country!
Thank you. Please share my channel with others
Excellent video, thank you sir.
Question: how much do these two midline loops affect your rope strength? I believe the method for your 1st there is the lightening bowline, cuz its fast. Certainly clear concise presentation, thankyou.
The loss of strength involved in tying one kind of midline loop vs another is basically irrelevant. Whatever the safety factor for your rope is, once you put in a knot, derate it 50%. But I wouldn't feel comfortable relying on any rope small enough that I even have to think about that stuff.
The exception to the above is using amsteel/spectra/dyneema (UHMWPE). Just don't knot those at all.
A few things to mention. You could also use an inline figure eight which is tied in the direction it will be use but is always parallel with the line.
In Rescue, we don't like putting the tension on a knot when it come with anchors. We like to use Tensionless Hitches, Wrap 3 Pull 2, or a basket hitch,
I gotta watch this again!
Great job.
Thank you very much,from Thailand
Great tutorial ! Very clear and easy to follow. I love the " OCD" remark for the loose end! :)
Thank you and thanks for watching, Please share my channel with others so that it can grow
Favorite channel on the tube
Knots training is always good material
I really enjoyed your cordage rope and kots video. yeah I know it's about 2 years old but it really is a good one to go back and review. I hope you get you 250 soon. Thanks for all the videos, sorry I do not respond to everyone, but they're all good.
I like how you tie The knot's and explain a major retiring them.

Man of few words....w/a great amount of skills 👍
thanks for your videos! you've taught me a lot
Wow! Your videos are the best one I saw on youtube. Very well explain and easy to follow!I just subscribe!ThanksAlain
Have you tried a Yosemite finish on your running bowline, I think it makes a cleaner finish and keeps the double overhand out of the way of the running line. Takes a couple seconds longer.
Like your videos, concise and well framed on the knots.
Dang, Cpl. Kelly... you are the Bob Ross of knots.
Great video as usual.
In the first 3 minutes- that double overhand knot. If you pass the running end through the X vertically would it then become a clove hitch?
Love you’re videos. Took me awhile to re-find this video. Now I’m subscribed.
