I watch a lot of different Bushcraft videos from different instructors. I think you are a very good instructor and thank you for sharing your skills.
I love the 'climbing up' tip! Always climb up to your anchor point. That is a great way to remember! Especially since this knot also goes by the name Ladder Knot. If you do it the wrong way it's the Lose Your Sh-stuff Knot.
I'd love to see you coming down the trail someday. I'll make the coffee.
Thanks you make learning new knots easy thanks.
Simple effective and to the point
Always enjoy the tips and tricks you share
That is the same method I use and find the same knot very useful in hanging lanterns or other gear inside my tent as well. It is also an extremely useful knot to use when hand pulling a load on a rope. By placing a "toggle" in a convenient location on the rope, one can get a much better grip for much more forceful pulling purchase. The toggle is also easily removed and replaced at a new location as the rope is pulled if needed. Good demo and thumbs up.
Marlin hitch is such a simple versatile tool , I use it for several things out in the bush , Glad you shared this application , a lot of people look for somewhere to hang their pack , with this there is no more looking , quick and easy process ...... For me , most shoulder straps have molle or clips of some sort , i keep a carabiner hooked on one , when I remember lol , and a hank of cord in my cargo pocket , and use the carabiner instead of the stick .....
Thank you for the demonstration
Great video bud! I liked how you showed it again close up and explained it thoroughly.
also putting the black cord against your white hand was very helpful
At combat speed. Maximum effort. Nicely done.
Excellent presentation!
Thanks Josh for slowing things down for the untrained eye and hands. When we were in the military, they taught us knots and we practiced all the time, because not only our lives depended on it but our buddies may depend on it as well.
Hope the people that need to practice, practice, your life may one day depend on it.
Thanks again Josh, 🇺🇸 👍 👍. God Speed, and God Bless,,,,,
Semper Fi
Great illustration....!!
I was trying to practice knots in a meeting a while back and my buddy told me that I was so focused on whether I could knot, I never stopped to think if I should knot :-D
It's a handy little knot 👍
Just rewatched this (I just keep forgetting knots - not enough practice).
Thank you so much.
Love that running bowline, the more you pull the more it grips and it's extremely easy to untie ! Nice to have gear off the ground, but in a tactical situation a ruck on the ground is more discreet. Keep the videos coming GBGB ! 😁🌲🔥
Haha, I'm glad you made a video of this! I couldn't remember the name of the Marlin Spike hitch for the love of me on the written test in the Adirondacks last month when everyone else could. I was however the only one who remembered the PAUL map which I was quite proud of..... lol
Yeah buddy! Hope you are doing well!
Solid tip
Drill sergeant :Faster Soldier!!!
Sergeant major:at ease love your vids!
Love your channel Josh. It's obvious that you know your stuff and you present it in a very accessible manor.
Funny ending
Very good. Thank you very much
Good class. I use that knot but never knew what it was called - so thanks. DOL
Thanks, brother! DOL
We appreciate your content sir 💯
Very helpful thank you.
I'm just getting into bushcraft stuff and these knots that everyone just seems to know are hard to learn for a beginner. You just made this really easy. Thanks for passing on all of your knowledge!
Check out Corporal's Corner, David Canterbury and Blackhat Bushcraft as well. All of these guys do a great job of teaching Bushcraft. I've learned a lot and each one brings something slightly different or has a slightly different way of teaching.
Those are some of my favorite channels as well, and we all teach together but have a slightly different take on or explain things a little differently maybe.
Haha, my exact thought when you said "walk away" was "wait you have to hang your gear first." Nicely done.
Well done sir thanks
I really like how you included the notch and the closeups so we could do the knot. It’s amazing a small stick can hold all that weight.
Thanks, I needed refresher.
Great tip thanks sir ATB from Yellowknife
Awesome Great info. Thx for the work.
I just got out of the forest for a little hike and used this trick when I stopped to take in the scenery. As always nice video.
I'm going to remember that one!!
Simple and efficient way to keep your gear off the ground. Thanks for sharing another great video.
Learned the bowline/Marline system for ridgelines from Corporal. Fantastic that I can now remember how to set up the system to hang my pack, and more importantly, teach my boy who also knows the ridgeline system and will recognize this. Thanks Josh!
For those (like me) who have difficulty with the bowline, one can do the same type of end loop by doubling the end of your line (placing a bight) and tying an overhand knot (your basic knot) in both pieces. As long as your life isn't in danger, this loop system works fine for most applications, and i find it much easier to remember and teach. As noted in the video, lots of knots can do many things; use the right knot when your life is in danger and use what is easy to remember if you are doing more casual things. I hope this helps some out there.
Geat description and detailing the steps for the knots. Thanks.
Another good one! Thanks Josh!
The notch on the toggle is something I haven't tried before, cool tip.
That is really cool
Love your channel. I want to learn. You are a great teacher.
Nice, I like to take care of my outdoor gear. Great easy tip, thanks.
Excellent video. Using the slipknot, I can see why you chose bank line instead of paracord. Thanks for keeping it real!
Another awesome video. Wish I had known this years ago. Could’ve kept my bag clean and off the damp ground. Definitely will be using this the next time I’m out in the woods.
I'll say, that's pretty slick! Very useful! I'll use that when I go deer hunting. I'm checking out your 11 knots video now.
“At combat speed” HAHAHA! I haven’t heard that in a while! Love your stuff, man!
😂 had to leave that in for the vets who would get it! Thanks for stopping in and watching
Great tip, J. When I know that I won't have to adjust the tieout corners on my tarp, I use a Marlinespike on the pegs.
I've had my riggers book so long that the covers have disappeared!
Good stuff Josh
Greywolf approved
Outstanding
I need to take the time and just binge watch some of your videos. Going to Devil’s Den State Park in Arkansas this weekend. I will be practicing some of what I’ve learned. Thanks
I used to always do a square lashing...this is so much faster. Thanks
Joshua, thanks for sharing.
Great demo Josh of a very useful knot/hitch. I have been using it that way for a while now and its cousin on my ridge lines .
Nate
Good stuff
That's some great teaching there! I think even I could do that now. Well, after I learn the Bowline Knot, LOL.
Thanks Joshua!
I carry a length of bank line that I’ve tied bowlines in every three inches or so. No matter how thick the tree is I can thread a bowline through my handle and toggle that off.
Good tip
*Grey Bearded Forest Wizard ... I actually called you a "Fire Wizard" in one of your group photos on FB!*
Fantastic videos!
I like that knife but I'm excited to check out the new pukko!
The Puukko is getting picked up by Pathfinder Knife Shop and should be commercially available around January 2020! Its a long wait but that is how it goes with a new knife model.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I'll bet it'll be worth the wait! Do you have a price range yet?
I like that PKS is made in the USA and that they are reasonably priced. It will likely be the same as any PKS belt knife (usually $99 with the curly maple handles, and about $30 for a leather sheath). Having a logo and signature laser engraved as some folks have asked for would probably be about $20 extra if we make that an option on some of them.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret that's reasonable. I'll definitely be interested in one!
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret just got the PKS forest tool and it is a heck of a tool!!!! Thanks for recommending it
Great content, lovely presentation. My new 'to go to' wild camping content. Keep it up, please.
Sorry to say that I’m returning your book. I was very disappointed. My review says it all. Sorry
I do a similar trick with a pre made paracord loop. Your method should work better because it's way more adjustable. I'll try it. Thanks.
Lol, nice video, keeping it KISS. God bless
At combat speed, reminded me of slow is smooth smooth is fast
"At combat speed" = faster than normal, but just shy of "double-time". I haven't heard that term in a hot minute. 😆
Haha I knew vets would get that one!
Like 99. Nice!! Thanks for sharing
Is that your new knife that you made?
No, this was filmed right before I made that one. This is the Becker Kephart BK62 I am testing out this year. amzn.to/303cr2d
Sweet setup and about as simple as can be. Question I notice that isn’t paracord so what is it and if you don’t mind why it over paracord? Yes I’m a rookie and wanting to teach myself and my Grandsons. Thanks for the great video
This is tarred mariners line or "bank line". I like it better than paracord mainly because it holds knots better (the sheath on paracord can be slick) and for the tensile strength I actually need, I can carry more length in a smaller bundle. Usually cheaper per foot also. Much better for bow drill as well...the tar grips the spindle well. Paracord was readily available in the military, and I think because of that has become the go-to cordage for survival kits, etc. I used to use it all the time myself. I usually carry about 25ft of paracord for a ridgeline, but that it these days. The rest is all #36 Bank Line (Over 300lb test). The bank line is three strands twisted together (unless you buy the braided which I do not), so I can still break it down into the smaller strands. Just a better cordage option in my opinion. I like the stuff from Catahoula Mfg. best, they seem to treat the line before spooling rather than dunking the spool after its rolled up so it gives a more consistent coating. amzn.to/2DV2jiC
The Gray Bearded Green Beret thanks for the quick response and I like the idea of having a more economical cordage to use. I actually buy paracord on a fairly regular basis and it’s not cheap. I’m curious if you have information or refer me to a video on how to produce a bow drill? I really enjoy your teaching method by the way so if you have one that’d be great. One last thing I wanted to thank you for your service!! I m thankful everyday for my freedoms because of men and women like you!! You have a fantastic day and look forward to more of your videos.
Scot Metcalf thanks! I appreciate that. I do have my complete bow drill class on here: ruclips.net/video/mu17UGigxfs/видео.html
How do you like that pack? Thanks for your good work!
I absolutely love this pack. Best seat in the woods and is perfect for what I need it for. I also love that I bought it on sale, they can be a bit pricey as packs go.
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret I just got a Stubben myself but I'm having a bear of a time finding the pockets. Do you recall where you got the pockets?
I got them on Amazon about 6 months ago: amzn.to/2LuKehz. Doesn't look like they are available at the moment. When they do become available, that link is for a 2-pack, I thought it was only one and ordered two (returned the others already).
Does the pack fit everything for winter overnight hammock system top and bottom quilts tarp food pantry???
Hang your gear first, then walk away, haha. Nice video
Cool pack...I don’t see it on your Amazon page, can you tell me what kind it is and where I can get it?
Its outrageous on Amazon from whatever seller is offering it. It’s a Fjallrsven Stubben, look on backpacks.com
Thanks very much!
Is that a Ontario knife?
Becker Kephart BK62 that I am field testing this year. Here is more info on it: amzn.to/2H8ugp7
The Gray Bearded Green Beret
Awesome! Can’t wait to see your review of it. Thanks for all your videos and knowledge shared
What pack was that?
Fjallraven Stubben
Josh... who makes that Pack?
Thats a Fjallraven Stubben. They are pricey but you can find them on sale sometimes for what a normal pack would cost. The one on Amazon right now is ridiculously priced, that is someone trying to gouge people so I won't even link that here.
Those canny Swedes... who would have thought that when YOU went into the bush you would bring your own special piece of furniture. lol
jtrafananko best seat in the woods!
Josh, I thought the best seat in the woods would have been in the front row of one of your classes...
Doing this with a Marlin Spike Hitch shows you are spending too much time with the Corporal... LOL
Just kidding, I don't even think that is possible because he's so awesome.
The Corporal and I do teach together all the time. I think we both learned this one from Dave Canterbury!
The Gray Bearded Green Beret so humble...
I carry a already made piece of cordage with on both sides a loop, use it to hang my gear up on a tree, packed on the top of my rucksack
lmfao Corporal Commander or whatever his name is did the same video
