I’m amazed how many videos you have... I must mention... you definitely have a gift for teaching... you are so good at explaining everything and showing as a follow through... when you’ve done those special knots, everything looks so clean and neat and purposeful...
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, in the era of the LCE, our tie-downs were very similar except for the end going to the Utility belt had to consist of a square knot with two half hitches. I have been retired for several years and miss the Airborne and Ranger communities so much. Watching some of your videos brings back a lot of memories. I even broke out my emergency spool of 550 to tie knots along with the video. Both of my kids could tie a bowline when they were around eight years old. Now they are 18 and 21 and have drastically more important things on their minds.
Glad to see that you lastly loosened the cap and let the now chemically infused water drip over the neck of the canteen. To neglect to do this could mean you still ingest contaminants that are one the neck of the canteen. I know you realize this and have properly treated your water, but I suspect viewers who are not veterans may not understand what you were doing. Thanks for all the great videos you have been producing.
I was searching for a "bottle sling" this is the best simple method, Why does everyone else have to make a half hour video production out of this?🤠🤠🤠fastest bowline tie down I've ever seen? Thanks.
nothing in this world eases my mind than a good old fashioned Barney style breakdown. learned all this shit in the marines but awesome break down none the less.
I used something similar on vacation, except I used a Canadian jam knot on the canteen end. Stays tight, but is easy to loosen when needed. I liked your wrapping around the neck Technique to keep from looking like an octopus.
I put a bight in the rope, then I hold the working end in the same fingers I use to twist that first loop (or crossing turn). That way, in one motion, the "rabbit" is already out of the hole. I'll use this tie-down on my gear, thanks, Andrew. Great content
Awesome new way to tie the rabbit came out of the hole and etc. Thanks for showing. I'm with you on the OCD side too and like the way you are disciplined
Love the video it was easy quick and simple from a pro the ties knots of hours...lol as a privious comemmeter mentioned you a very good teacher, some of have watched videos where you have exlpained what you have done and what you do as much as you can, and know why your get the big money honey....:) This old lady loves your videos and you....alwasy a fan...take of yourself while you do your day job....
dummy cords. Ah yes, I remember them well. Saved me from losing a 2 Qt. off my ruck. I dummy-corded my NODs also after almost leaving a pair on an HLZ at SAPPER School.
Good tip. I guess you could use the jam knot for the canteen attachment and not have to worry about it slipping/loosening but that's an extra knot to fuss with. What chest rig are you running there? Nate
The rig is the TAPS system (tactical assault panel) issued with plate carriers and IOTVs as standard issue. It’s nice as a simple cheat rig for basic gear carry in a permissive environment. A go to for all ruck marches for sure.
Great tip and well explained. What's your opinion of the old military metal canteens and the new stainless ones? I find them faster to boil water in than a little at a time in a cup
I'm a fan of the canteen cup, probably because I was raised on it. For my every day wilderness kit I'll carry that unless I know I'm going to an area that may require a larger water source carry.
The way I’ve gone about that before, especially since I’ve had to tie down almost everything, end of the line Bowlin around the object and tightened down. Then wrap with tape. Usually objects tied down like that are sensitive items, radios and batteries, gps, etc.
Must be a whole lot of stealing going on if you have to put strings on everything :) I am OCD as well and put strings on my ups and downs to keep me together. Subscribed good info, thx!
Andrew, may I ask a question, please? Do you think making a glue stick part of your survival kit could be a good idea. Obviously you wouldn'to have the glue gun but I feel there _are_ things that could be done with a little piece of glue that _could_ be heated up one way or another.
I may not be Andrew, but, I did spend twenty years in the Airborne and Ranger communities I can not speak for a glue stick as I have never tried to incorporate one into my kit. However, I can tell you two of the things that shooters often carry that many civilians are not usually aware of are a small tube of super glue for sealing small cuts, and tampons for plugging holes. We carried these at the beginning of the war when all that the individual Soldiers had was a field dressing. This was prior to the introduction of the IFAK. Both items could fit in a first-aid dressing pouch. We would also usually put in a large safety pin with a small piece of illume tape on the pouch flap.
Did they ever teach you the French bowline knot in Ranger school, you are a lot younger than I and I don’t know if they were still telling stupid jokes when you went through, but the Army is extremely repetitive so they might have. RLTW!
Never learned the French Bowline while in the course. There were definitely jokes, but I was droning pretty good toward the end so I don't recall most of them! RLTW!
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft I remember being so tired , we started a ruck run and I don’t remember any of it just tripping and falling down 3/4 of the way through it. I think I was asleep the whole time. Worst days and the best days at the same time. The joke was the instructor would start teaching you a new knot, he would have you make three loops two small one larger, and then have you put the larger center loop in your mouth, and start laughing and tell the group he knew we were all cock suckers. Like I said stupid joke, and we were all so intent on learning we didn’t even realize he was messing with us. Take care and thanks for the videos.

It took a few attempts, but I got it, and will be teaching this to a nine-year-old. Thank you for the gift.

He gave a very Army instruction on that knot.

Man, where was that Arby’s hat when I was in the Boy Scouts? I’m still chasing that darn rabbit 50 years later. 👍
Solid content, devil’s in the details. Keep them coming.
I’ve watched this video again and do like the way you attach a canteen or two using the bowline. Thanks
Great channel. Love all the practical field knowledge. Keep them coming!
William Pribble Thank you very much!
Love your videos, I'm still way behind in watching them. For a clean and secure bowline, look up the Bowline with Yosemite finish. You might like it!
Excellent Demonstration. Great Breakdown. Thank you.
Nice tie-down! Lots of other potential applications...Tnx!
Tie your Ranger down, yeah, tie your Ranger down, give me all your knots tonight!
Great tip to know. I'll just place this in my basket of Rabbit tricks. Enjoy your channel. Thank you.

Great idea and video bud thank you and keep them coming !!!!
Knot bad! Nice work!
Thanks in RTLI been trying to fiqure this out
Great tip thanks
When I was in basic, we had a CamelBak, as our third canteen.
Post 06?? Camel back is nice. However, not best choice in real world..
Good stuff. Thanks!
Outstanding sir !
Drive on with more videos
Great info! Thx! 👍
Full auto with words bro. Excellent. As usual.
Great information! Earned my sub for the bowlin instruction alone!
I appreciate that, thank you! I’ll work hard to keep earning that sub.
I second what Scott said. For some reason, I’ve had trouble with that knot; you’ve made it simple. Thank you.
Been there and Done that. Good Job.
dummy cords. Ah yes, I remember them well. Saved me from losing a 2 Qt. off my ruck. I dummy-corded my NODs also after almost leaving a pair on an HLZ at SAPPER School.
Very nice tip.
Thanks.
Back in 1982 you got one canteen!
Yep!
Good one, Andrew.
Off topic, amazing look watch bro. What kind/ brand is it?
Always Wanted One of Those !
Great instruction
Love it!!!!
Again great video. Thank you.
Thanks

just found a new way to teach the bowline to my cubscouts. tired of them chasing the rabbit through the wrong hole.

@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft cool. Thanks for replying so promptly.
Oh the memories...
Just to clarify, I am not a Ranger, just normal paratrooper and light infantry dude.

LEARNED AS A RAKKASAN from a FORMER COMBAT VET DEVIL DOG TEAM LEADER and was squared away for RIP not too long after
SUA SPONTE
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
Do you have a video of your belt load out
Thanks for the info!
Great and useful tip👍, but no way was that Bowline method EASIER than the traditional, or maybe I'm just a dunce. 🤷♂️. 😁
I felt that same way!!!
ONLY IT'S ONE HANDED, YOU CAN DO IT IN THE DARK AND MOVE ON. BUT YES ITS MESSY AT FIRST.
Andrew what about items that don't have a tie down point ? Flat items etc...
The way I’ve gone about that before, especially since I’ve had to tie down almost everything, end of the line Bowlin around the object and tightened down. Then wrap with tape. Usually objects tied down like that are sensitive items, radios and batteries, gps, etc.

Awesome ! Ya got a video on that lighter and chapstik set up ? 👍🏻🇺🇸💯

Hi that is called a tag end and running part
Damn, this was outstanding !!! And the damn shirt is just about in yo face as well !!! Guy Speight
Good video. I couldn’t see your right shoulder that completely
Is that a flag on it?
Tie up and ranger on... 😎
"Off to never never Land" HAHHAHHAHHA
What LCE is that
Hell yeah
I guess I missed this video when you first started your channel. I’m late to the party.
Yeah, you’ll notice how the editing develops and improved tech over time.

did learn the one handed bowline for you know when you have to high speed low drag operate LMFAO ... RLTW
A knot is never finished until you say "And that's not going anywere" ;)
👍👍🇺🇸
Very good; K.I.S.S.
Too easy!
Thank you for going slow on how too tie the knock.
Comment
A dummy cord
It's pronounced bowlin not bow line. Take it from an old swabbie. I know the spelling is weird, but trust me I'm correct.
I've heard it both ways. I'd never heard bowlin until RUclips. Regional maybe?
Figure folks watching the vid who know the acronyms are likely to already know the knots…. Excellent instruction otherwise thanks!
Спасибо!
