    Precisely why I always watch Blackie for his tried & true woodcraft tips. I've been in a sleeping bag a 1/3 of my life, & thought I had it all together camping/survival/ sustainability. Blackie always puts me back into realities..I have so much to learn..thanks Blackie..

    I think that I am gonna have to watch this video a couple of more times (actually several) to get those quick and “easy” knots. Always had trouble remembering all those knots learned in training and their applications. I can tie them, just have to think about it. Thanks for these five “easy” secret tips! - Tennessee Smoky

    Wise words. You learn something from everyone! The new generation wouldn’t be so hyper sensitive if they subscribed to that. Learning from someone does not have to mean that you agree. Be enough of an adult to handle differences.

    Blackie, this video was outstanding! First of all, the paracord donut was amazing, and secondly, the improved quick deploy ridge line is ingenious. Also, your adjustable multi-function lanyard idea was slicker than snot on a door knob! I'm always trying to figure out how to hang my pack on a tree, and you've solved that one with the adjustable lanyard. You are the Beast of Bushcraft! Very well done.

    Black or, this is the first video of yours that I have watched...and I am very impressed with you already! The Soft Hackle idea is GENIUS! Will be making some of those tomorrow.
    When you showed number 5, I started to laugh! Here's why. I used to be a Civil War Reenactor with an Artillery unit based in Ohio. Did it for over ten years. For our tent flies, we would use wooden adjustable tensioners that we made. Last year, I had made my first quick deploy ridge line with two Prussic loops for my tarp. I liked the idea of having the guide lines already attached to the tarp corners and having the stakes attached as well. Not wanting to take the time to make four wooden adjustable tensioners, I got the idea to do what you did. Tied on a Prussic loop on each guide line, then drilled a hole through a wooden stake near the top. Passed the lone through the stake, then tied it to the Prussic loop, giving me a complete system ready to deploy. If I broke a stake, no big deal, I could just make another one. It works great! I have already watched ten more of your videos tonight. Keep up the good work!!! (Sorry about being long winded...just like to be thorough. 😁)

    Awesome review and explanation. The complete Bushcraft reviews their is always something different to share and to share is knowledge and one should never deny himself an education. Especially if it one day it may become to having to use something in an emergency or survival situation. Using cordage alone is invaluable to know for everyday purposes. Even if it's just to latch a board from a supply store to you vehicle. Love the review as always and keep up the excellent Bushcraft lessons.

    for that soft shackle, instead of using the rubber piece, you can tie a slip knot on the opposite end of the loop from the knot. Open up the slip knot and pass the knot through and then cinch it down.

    @jurgenstoll2394 3 года назад

    Your #5 is a really nice application of an adjustable loop knot and a loop knot.
    The combination of a prussik knot and a bowline knot is a little bit overcomplicated. There's already a knot doing the same and with the advantage, that it's quite easy to untie.
    The knot is called the tent-line or taut-line hitch (german: Topsegelschotstek): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taut-line_hitch and it's used for adjusting the sheet rope on a sailing boat.
