- BUSHCRAFT / WOODSCRAFT IS A LOT OF WORK WITH CORDAGE. BE IT 55 PAPACORD OR TARRED BANKLINE WE ALWAYS SEEM TO BE MAKING SOMETHING OUT OF ONE OR BOTH OF THEM.THE TRICK TO IT IS TO MAKE THE PROJECT WHERE YOU CAN RECLIN THE CORDS ONCE WE NO LONGER NEED THE THING WE LASHED OR TIED TOGETHER. SAVING THE SMALL BITS OF CORD AND TURNING THEM BACK INTO NEW PROJECTS WILL HELP SAVE MONEY AND TEACH US THE WYS OF THE OLD WOODSMEN WHO TRYIED NEVER TO WASTE ANY RESOURCE. IN THIS VIDEO I WILL TALK ON HOW I AM UPGRADING MY KIT TO INCLUED A QUICK DEPLOY RIDGELINE..THANKS FOR WATCHING

thanks for the comments
"Square One" is forever the stepping stone.
First; you don’t over explain anything. I think you explain things just right so everyone can understand. Second; I set up, from your teaching, a ridge line with three prusik knots but I don’t have the soft shackles. I do have the shackles handy. All of it is in the top pouch of my pack for ez access. I’ve learned so much from your videos and they have increased my capabilities because of your teaching.
glad to help and i will be recovering my ridgelines /soft shackles/twist ties/ bushcraft zip ties soon
As a follower for a few years, I thoroughly appreciate the level to which you speak on the topics that you cover. The world already has a David Canterbury. The newbies need a basic course, an introductory edition if you will, that you provide. Not all of your videos are base line level, but you, as a qualified and experienced woodsman, are able to step things down to the people who are much less experienced in the arts of being in the woods. That ability is a treasure in and of itself. I also very much appreciate that you routinely remind viewers of the notion that your perspective is from "your south". My south, near SMKW, is much different, but your videos are quite adaptable. We don't deal with Russian bores and hurricanes as much as we do black bears and mountains, but the concept is the same, and by showing things on a fundamental level, not talking down to beginners, what you convey is adaptable to a broad audience. You give a beginning point for future woodsman and future students of further education in woodsmanship such as the Pathfinder School.
Thank you for doing what you do, Blackie, and doing it on such a welcoming level. For the time you invest in the next generations via your channel, and for bringing others like Bear along to also share their knowledge and input. You are a treasure to this way of life, be that a weekend hobby or a lifestyle.
On that note, could you include more about camp cleanliness and packing out what you pack in? Too many people are leaving their trash thrown about in my south.
Thank you
thank you for your kind words and i will cover that in my upcoming camp for silver wolves video
Blackie I have been watching your videos for nearly 10 years, and I always learn at least one thing from every one. I appreciate that very much. Thank you.
my pleasure
Over explain all you want. I am experienced and knowledgeable in these outdoor subjects that you present. I have learned "tricks" or shortcuts that just make things better by listening to you explain to those that do not know. We can always learn, great job on your topics and videos. Thank you
I love th edetail you go into while explaining things. It often gives me a new or different perspective on topics I haven't considered.
thanks for watching
My favorite channel....
glad your here

Keep doing what you're doing, your level of detail is just fine.

Great video. Can't wait for the Thursday one.
its on the way
hello Blackie Thomas, i have served a long time in the army.
58 years i am now. know enuf to keep me alive, when the SHTF.
have been in war zones, know how to handle my self.
and still learned a lot just watching your channel.
and i thank you for that.
greets from a old grunt from the Netherlands.
welcome to the channel and thank you for your service to your country
I spent my youth doing all this kind of stuff but now, as I am about to retire and get more dirt time, I find your videos a very good refresher AND I pick up a lot of info I never had a clue of! I think you are directing these videos directly to me! Ha! And I appreciate it.
I showed this to my wife and she said "oh God there is another one of you" lol. I save every scrap of cordage I find, everything from paracord to the blue twine used to pull wires through conduit on construction sites when I can find it. Like you mentioned, even small scrap pieces make good fire starting material. I really thought I might be the only one who does that because like you say, it seems everyone doing videos like your's start with new rolls and never reclaim it.
I was walking the field with my grandfather when I was 6 or 7, about 45 years ago, and found a piece of metal from an old broken plow or something. He told me to take it with us and hang it in the barn from a rope. I asked why he wanted to do that and he said you hang it from a crafter so it won't rust and so you can find it if you need it, and then he said if you find something like that may be useful always keep it for 5 to 10 years and if you haven't found a use for it by then you can throw it away. My aspie identic memory heard the "keep it" part but somehow missed the "toss it after 10 years" part lol, but I can say I have found uses for things that I have held onto for more than 10 years, so that's not all bad (unless you ask my wife lol) .
I do small wood crafts like jewelry and keychains, and she just can't see the benefit of a 2 inch piece of wire, but that's plenty of small copper wire to do an inlay into a keychain or earrings. I can't even begin to tell her the amount of money saved and the amount of sales made from using a 2 inch piece of scrap wire, sometimes it can be several hundred dollars made from it.
I love your channel and trust me when I say you explain things perfectly, don't change what you do for a few nay sayers, 99% of us love it just as it is. I have a fairly high knowledge of the things you cover, but I find that a refresher course is always a good thing. I never watch a video you put out that I don't either learn something new or remember something that I haven't used in so long that I had almost forgotten it.
Thank you for what you do.
Grandpa always said, " As long as you learn something new every day, you'll never die." He lived to be over 100.
i agree never stop learning
My father always told me that if you don't learn at least one thing new everyday then you wasted the day!
You explain stuff to the correct level so everyone can understand. I would say that the people complaining are elitists that think they are entitled or overlords. Keep explaining to the level that everyone understands. And by the way, thank you for voting. Roll Tide/War Eagle, which ever floats your boat!
thank you very much
Blackie, your teaching method and info is great don’t change.
No, you dont over explain things. I think you do an excellent job of explaining techniques. Even for people who think they know "wood skills" unless we are using them on the regular, they all are perishable skills. Keep doing you.
And put me on the list for your book.
Video I'd like too see. Using a roundfile to sharpen a pocket manual chainsaw. Personally, I'm not sure what's harder... securing the chain, so you get good swipes, or putting the correct angle on the tooth.
I agree. Blackie doesn't "over explain" things. Those of us who already know some of the stuff Blackie tells us, don't worry. We understand there are people watching his content for the first time who may not be as familiar terminology or skills as others are. That being said NO ONE knows everything. We can all learn something from each other. Blackie's another link in that chain of knowledge.
thank you both
Hello from San Diego.
I appreciate your in depth explanations as I am not the brightest light in the chandelier. I admit sheepishly.
Blackie I don't think you over explain anything. You explain so people that are not self proclaimed know it all's like myself can pick up bits of knowledge from people who have insight and experience in the things in life that are not taught in school. When I was a young man I always loved to listen to older people who had experienced the good and the bad things of life.
When I was in my twenties my wife's uncle introduced me to a gentleman in his nineties who built from pictures and books a Stanley Steamer automobile! This man had an old wooden two car garage work shop with a lathe, drillpress and bench grinder, small forge,and an anvil. I was amazed at this beautiful car! My wife's uncle said you know when that man dies all that knowledge dies with him. So I spent a lot of time picking his brain to learn as much as possible.
I'm 70 now but I have learned a wealth of knowledge from older people!
I love your channel because I grew up in the city and lacked the knowledge of folks like you that grew up in country with the experience and country common sense that folks like me lacked growing up in the city! I've never watched a single video of yours that I didn't learn something! Please keep up the great work! ATB Sam from Vietnam
I, as many others, appreciate your videos. 🙂
Glad you like them!
4:07 Bless you Blackie. Always great video
Keep doing what you do, you have a great teaching method
Thank you. You keep teaching and I'll be learning.
I find your channel very interesting. I’ve learned quite a bit from you Blackie. Thank You Very Much. ❤❤❤
glad to do it
Hey Blackie- I always look forward to your videos. I dont think you over-explain things- I think people these days are just too impatient. Looking forward to your new cord vids and your book. Keep up the good work Blackie and be safe out there-
thank you very much
Afternoon Blackie, A few days ago I asked you if you had any experience with a bamboo fire saw and you were kind enough to recommend David West. The man is a master, a real asset to any fire department.
People will never know it all and if they ever did they would eventually , if they live long enough, get to a point where they will start to forget many of the tips and tricks they once knew; I include myself in that category. Your stories remind me of many events and friends of my past who are no longer alive to share the stories we once lived. Thank you Blackie for the memories you brought back to me.
thank you for watching
Blackie I am relatively new to bushcraft but I have been watching your videos for a while. I always check once a day to see if you've uploaded a video. I ALWAYS learn something from you. I enjoy how you explain the lessons being taught in your videos. Please keep at it with uploading your knowledge and common sense of things. I am very grateful for stumbling upon your channel a while back.
Awesome, thank you!
Blackie, Great Video I Greatly Appreciate all your videos and The Way You Teach Is Outstanding you explain things so everyone can understand it. Thank You for sharing your time and knowledge and wisdom and passing on the craft, Yes You Are The Master Woodsman and Buschcrafter. Keep Up The Great Job You Are Doing. Tim L.

thank you sir
Good video Blackie , I like the way you teach in your videos , have a great day , thanks for sharing , God bless !
thank you
Always appreciate you sharing your knowledge on any topic. Thank you!
The daisy chain thing sounds like how we did long electrical cords in marching band. It makes carrying long cords without the twist that deploys fast.
Excellent, Blackie! Great video!
Strait to the point and thourghly explained love the videos blakie
Appreciate all your videos Blackie. Even though I have many years of camping experience, I still have weak points on certain skills and I'm still learning new things. Thanks again.👍
Thanks 👍
Well, I'm not just starting out, but I learn something new almost every video, so please keep over explaining.
Noted!
Blackie, I find your explanations very useful. I have some experience and find I always learn something from you.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Good video. I tend to do a quick wrap on the cord and then go back and make a bracelet, donut, or dazychain my cordage after I home or when I get time. Best way to store it. Good vid
Sounds great!
Your daisy chaining is also called crocheting. 🤭👍
yep
You are the best Blackie this silver wolf appreciates all the explanations I have plenty of knowledge and still have room to be reminded and taught more
Much appreciated
Great channel, lots of good info thanks for posting 👍
Hey Blackie! Just keep on keepin' on! Personally, I'd rather hear something for a second time than come in the middle and have to guess what the speaker is trying to convey! Thanks for coining the phrase "Silver Wolf" sounds much better than "gray-headed ole fart"! Thanks!
thanks brother we need to share a campfire soon
another great video! got a 'retaining used cordage ' story. My wife bought one of those huge knotted cord summer hammocks. the one with a 4 foot wood rod for each end. I spend many days, sitting out at the field with the dogs till dark, slowly but surely unkotting then knotting each 10 foot section of white and green cotton blend thick cordage. I have been known to visit work sites to retrieve discarded cordage used for frame work etc.
work sites are full of resources
@@BLACKIETHOMAS dumpster diving my be a lost art, LOL!
Hi Blackie. Greeting from Aus. Don't change the way you do Chanel, i have learnt a lot from you in which I am very grateful, waiting for your book to come out. Muchly appreciated, thankyou.
Awesome, thank you!
You're a great teacher. Keep it up
Thank you! 😃
I don’t think you over explain anything. I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy watching. I’ve got a library of books on bushcraft over here and I follow a lot of the big bushcraft names but there’s already a bunch of stuff that I’ve seen on your videos that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Keep on keeping on.
Welcome aboard!
Love all your videos! Don't change a thing. Take care and God bless.
Thank you so much!
Blackie, I like the way you explain things. I've done a whole lot of outdoors stuff... back when I was a kid in scouts.
I could be arrogant and say (I KNEW THAT ALREADY) and it may come to mind but it's been over 15 years since I've been on a real solid outdoor adventure. The best thing we can do is listen in a neutral and non judgmental manner. Keep on keeping on man 🤘👍
thank you
I like a carabiner on the bowline end and a nite ize cam jam on the running end, its so quick and easy you can even do it one handed without hassle. Theyre worth trying out for guylines and many other uses, you can even get them in metal although ive never had a problem with the polymer. You can also get them small enough for #36 bank line, very useful piece of kit lol.
very nice
really like every thing you do and like you i'm a silver wolf.and isee thing you do that i seem to have forgot,, thanks
Hi blackie I would love a video about hunting tips.
noted
Really enjoy your style of presenting information. Myself, I'm extremely near sighted rather than far sighted. Something I always have on me are those cheap glasses repair kits. I've found that the screwdriver in it is an excellent pick to loosen up knots that are hard to get a good grip on.
Cool, thanks
Thanks blackie, love your videos 👍🏻🙏
thanks
Good video. About the knife sharpener. You should show us how to make a wedge at the degrees of most knives so we have a guide we can use with our sharping stone. Too sharpen our knives. And it would be a lot cheaper than buying a sharping system. Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Hi Blackie are you having a live Q&A this Thursday. Thank you for all you do
yes i will
I missed seeing you at the Ga bushcraft fall gathering and I’m really liking the silver wolves series .. please continue with your teachings the way you always have ,, any other way how would you be the Blackie we all have enjoyed over the years
Shopping yard sales etc for camping gear is something you should cover I do this because of poor finances
Shopping yard sales etc for camping gear is something you should cover I do this because of poor finances
You are you and that's cool with me. I think you're right in the way you do things.
thank you
Great video
thanks
You explained things fine some folks don't have the knowledge but almost yor fine son I'm 64 just retired going to teach my stepsons how to survive your down to earth talk to folks like us helps me to teach sorry about no punctuation but I'm not to art on tec stuff
share the knowledge that what we silver wolves do pass it along to the next generation
Blackie I triple like this video you teach skills that match anybody's skill level from young to silver wolves. Keep doing what you're doing as I will keep watching you have some of the greatest tips tricks and a life long of knowledge . Have a great day Blackie 👍
I appreciate that
Are you talking about having a dedicated Ridgeline in your pack because I have two one is just paracord is simple Canterbury quick deploy Ridgeline the other one is the night eyes cam lock hooks that I use for over a hammock super fast no knots just hook it around itself and pull tight the Cam's lock and it's tight all the time never comes loose I use the heavy duty paracord instead of the rope that came with it
both of those are good
It's funny when I was asistent scout master they called us the old goats I got the patch still got my shirt
thats cool
Uh, I must have missed something somewhere... What is a "soft shackle" and how is it used? Can someone please point me to a specific video?
Love your instruction, Blackie!
i will be going over them and other carried pre made up cordage very soon
I'm one of those people that don't really know a heck of a lot. Mind you, I was in the Scouts for a number of years, but that was in my teens. I'm 63, now.
thanks for watching
@@BLACKIETHOMAS , I try to learn. You've helped me learn a lot. :)
There are a lot of bushcrafters on youtube, but not many woodsmen.
thank you
Bank line is very expensive in Canada, any alternatives you know of?
Good to know now I won't feel dumb asking, "what is BANK LINE?"
Nevermind, I just watched your video "Why Bank line", thank you.
And also the zip ties
What are the donuts and do you have a video showing how to make them
I DO AND i will be going back over it soon
There's an old saying, waste not want not .
very very true
Hi Blackie. What size bank line do you use and is it tarred? Thanks!
usually #36 and its is tarred
Blackie, the thing you over explain are the basic stuff. Why, because they are important. It’s like building a house, the basics are like a foundation. You can’t build a good house without a good foundation, otherwise the house will fall. You can’t learn a skill without good basic knowledge. If your not Proficient in the basics, the real complicated skills will turn out to be garbage
Keep up the good work. Blackie
thanks
I'd have to watch the video two times if you didn't explain it so well the first time.
lol well thank you
I stuff my shorter links or cordage in old medicine bottles of various size, water resistant to proof, easily organized, labeled, and don't get tangled while stored or carried in the pack.
It's called a sea chain
