Net Making or throwing a net is a valuable skill for an outdoorsman. This could be a useful survival skill as nets can carry supplies, secure a load, catch fish and even trap birds or small animals. Of all the bushcraft and survival skills, this has been on of my more challenging to learn. In reality, it is actually quite simple as it is a repetitive motion once you understand the process. This method as taught at the Pathfinder School is net making made easy! Net making is a great DIY project.

"the use of a net for the woodsman is only limited by your imagination" thats some fine poetry
excelent way to show how to do it well. Have seen some other videos, but yours is the best!
@@michaelspahn3675 Thank you so much Michael. I appreciate your kind words and I am glad this was helpful. Take care!
I loved it. This is how we survive! Old school methods are never outdated
Brought back some old memories. Back in about 1957 or so my dad got caught at home for about two weeks because of a rainy spell. He worked outside as a carpenter. To help pass the time he made an entire gill net. Because of all the high water him and a buddy set it out in a back water off of a local bayou. That first night about a six foot alligator gar got in it and tore the whole thing to shreds. I don’t remember him ever trying to make another gill net although he ran trot lines until the end. Thanks for the memory.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me! I can only imaging the frustration he felt seeing all that work destroyed!! I feel the pain! I appreciate you tuning in my friend! Blessings to you and yours..
If taking Bushcraft 101 it's important you watch this MANY times. SRO sold out of Norwegian net shuttle.
Thank you Matt
It is hard to keep those bad boys in stock it seems. I don't recall seeing them anywhere
else either. Hopefully they will be back soon. Thank you for tuning in and commenting my friend!
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm on a full size screen, so seeing the net was no issue.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I was hoping it would be easy to see and pick up the skill with this. I appreciate you tuning in and commenting James!
Nice demonstration. I’ve seen Dave’s as well. Enough to make a dip net or if the situation dire enough string enough for gill nets . Looking forward to the next one. Have a great evening
Thank you so much John! I appreciate you tuning in and sharing a kind word! Take care.
Thank you Matt Mercer . Excellent video and instruction for net making. Great job.
I really appreciate that Rob! Thank you for your time and interest to tune in!
Made that look doable. Thank you.
THat's great to hear! Thank you for tuning in!
I always wondered about the simple way to make a net. Nice job on the presentation. I'm glad you ran into a snag, it was educational on how to resolve it. I look forward to the next video. Thanks Matt
Thank you so much Roberto! I appreciate your kind words and I am glad this was helpful. Sometimes seeing the slip ups may be the most valuable part. Even though it looks like everything goes perfect first try in most videos on YT, I would be that it rarely does actually go that way in reality. I think it's good to see that sometimes to show the reality. Thank you again!
Hey Matt, had to refresh myself on the net making as I took the net making course at the Pathfinder gathering 2023, it is so much better to see you on video and explain it as I can back up at any time I need to, it was great to meet you at the gathering and I plan on making some nets!
That is awesome to hear brother! I really appreciate you coming out and I was glad to meet you! I hope the video will help you get those nets made and I hope they serve you well. Once you get the motion down, it is actually fun! I apologize that it was hard to learn at the gathering, I needed 5 of me to teach that big group! Take care my friend and I hope to see you again at the next event!
Matt ..THANK YOU...!!! I have struggled with this for so very long. Your video was by far the best video on this, I have seen I know this must of been a bugger to film. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach such a important skill.
Absolutely my friend and thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad this was helpful and I hope the skill serves you well! Blessings to you brother!
Alrighty 🎉🎉 🔥☺
Thank you for showing this!
Absolutely Ben! I appreciate you tuning in.
Matt , good instructional video ,thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you so much Michael! I appreciate you tuning in for this one! God bless you and yours.
Thank you and God Bless you
You are most welcome and God bless you and yours my friend!
That was awesome Matt, thank you.
Thank you so much Michael!
Matt, this was awesome! You did such a great job. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Liked and saved
Thank you so much for the kind words DJ! I really appreciate that and I hope it will come in handy. Happy New Year!
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much Marco!
Thank you, Mr. Mercer, For the great lesson, at your suggestion I checked out Mr. Canterbury vid as well. Thank you again and I am looking forward to the next vid.
Most appreciated my friend! I hope you get a chance to try this out and that it will serve you well! Take care my friend!
Very cool and understandable, thanks for your time and info. God bless
Thank you for your time, interest and kind words Larry!
Great video Matt. Thanks for sharing this.
Absolutely! I appreciate you tuning in and sharing a kind word!
Heck yeah I'll try that, great job keep up tht good work.
Awesome Tim! I hope you do get a chance to make a net. I used to dread net making but now I have come to actually enjoy it! Take care my friend.
Well done! Haven't made a net in quite some time will have to revisit it again soon. Thank you for all you do brother 👍
Absolutely brother! It's one of those skills you don't use every day unless of course you are filming a vide on it and then you practice daily lol! It was a challenge for me to learn but fun to finally get down. I hope you guys are doing well. Wishing you New Year's Blessings!
@@blackhatbushcraft haha I agree. Always good to go back and revisit skills you haven't done in a while. We are good hope all is well with you and yours brother
Nice job, thx for sharing.
Absolutely! Thank you kindly for tuning in!
Nice tutorial!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thats a cool trick to know.
I agree! Not something you use everyday but a skill I am glad to have. Take care Michael!
Matt thank you for posting this tutorial. I've seen a couple of videos where net throwing was demonstrated but your version is the first to motivate me to give this a try. I hope you know you have a gift for teaching. Happy New Year and blessings to you.
Thank you so much for your kind words Terry! I really appreciate that and I hope you are able to work on that net. I hope it will come together easily for you. Take care and blessings to you and yours my friend!
such a compicated method to do something simple. There are other ways of making a net and I'd argue faster than this. Sure it works, you got a net afterall but required so many tools when all one really required was a knife and some cordage maybe a couple of sticks
Nice video thanks for sharing 👍
Hey does squirrels have sense of humor? 🤪
Corporals Corner brought me here👍
A flat white painted piece of plywood would make a much better visual background.
Hi Matt, this came at a perfect time for me as I had recently decided to give net making a try. I've seen videos on the subject before and I have a net needle template that I used to carve a needle out of a paint stick. I believe you and Dave C use the same technique -- I've watched his rope clinic series as it was being posted so I do have to go back and review episode 5. I must say it is a simple enough technique, and I just have to practice to get it right. I"m using mason line to practice since I am new to the process and it is proving to be a little more difficult than it appears. I'm sure with some practice I will be able to make more consistently sized meshes. Nonetheless, thank you for all you do and share here on youtube for the benefit of those of us interested in the craft! Happy New Year!
I feel certain you will get it! It definitely took me a few sessions to finally gain confidence with this. For the longest time I just avoided doing it lol. That mason twine can be a little aggravating because of the slick factor but stick with it and I you are making some great nets soon! Thank you for your kind words and for your interest and support! Wishing you blessings in 2022!
I'm in
In this example, how did you determine how much cordage to use?
Hi Matt, did you know that a fish net could be easily converted into a Hammock if you've made it long enough and wide enough? If you're stock in the woods, it's great to know.
Great job Matt! Weren't up for making 5 bow drills from scratch? LOL! I was pretty impressed by your lighting on the video. I really struggled with trying to find a good recording angle & lighting. I think it was super helpful to include the mistake and dangers of making a slip knot. I loved how you showed to add the paracord and get it ready for some future traps. Really, really nice job.
Thank you so much Jon! I really appreciate that and I struggled to get lighting and an angle that I thought would make this visible.You know I regard this as a difficult skill to learn so I was hoping to make it as visible as possible for those trying to learn. I have definitely practiced a bunch since November lol! I thought you did a great job on your video as well and it would be a great one for people to see. I will add a link in the description box to yours too! Thank you for all your kind words and support my friend!
Maybe join the lines with a fisherman’s knot?
Where do you get your mesh gauges? I'd like to purchase a few.
Reef knots are trash for joining line. It is a knot and not a bend. A simple fisherman's bend (or a double fisherman's) would be so much more appropriate for the task of joining line. A perk would be it's inline/streamlined shape. If you can tie your shoes, you can tie that knot.
Great instructional video but I respectfully have a suggestion for a change in the way you form your knot. You start a knot with the standard moves of picking up a mesh, throwing a loop over your left hand, then going behind the mesh and back up through the loop and then cinching down your knot making sure that it doesn't come down off of the mesh and turn into a slip-knot, and that's perfectly fine, but if before cinch the knot down you added the step of again going behind the mesh and then coming up through the mesh; instead of only around it; and then cinching down your knot, there is no way for the knot to drop off of the mesh and become a slip-knot. An example of this extra step can be found in this video here: ruclips.net/video/WW6VlflNbTU/видео.html
I found this video profoundly unhelpful, iit all hints on the viewer either already freezing specific items or buying them, what about those of us who don't have gauges or shuttles?
I would say that is the equivalent of watching a sewing video when you don't own a sewing machine or needles and thread? Unfortunately, you either have to acquire the minimal items required to make a net or craft them. All the gear minus the cordage will cost less than 15.00 and I provided links in the description to where I got mine. The purpose of this video is to instruct people in the use of a net needle and gauge. Maybe at some point I will do a video on how to improvise or create a needle and gauge. In the meantime, there are many videos on youtube just search "make a net needle." You can then carve one out of wood. Gauges are easy to carve or improvise as well. I hope that helps.
@@blackhatbushcraft I apologize, I should have phrased that better, I was trying to inquire about alternative techniques for making nets without a shuttle and gauge. I'm bad at talking with people, so I try not to
