I know that this video has been posted for some time now, but being my first time replacing our flag and rope since my father passed a couple years ago, this helped me achieve an absolute perfect replacement! Thank you!

We just bought a new pole after our last one broke. And the instructions didn't tell how to string it up. So this was very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks guys for taking action and doing something to keep our country's flag flying and remembered. I was checking for improvements on how I do what you guys do for those I help with their poles and lanyards and we do about the same lol. Nice to know I'm not the only one who does it like I do.

I needed to replace my old rope on a venerable flag pole and this video, of all I searched was the best not only in explaining the roping techniques but showing me some techniques that improve the way my flagpole was configured - I moved from the old wooden dongle and rope to attach the flag to a snap system with grommets in the flag - much better.

Thanks for the vid! Any recommendations on what brand/material of flag to use? I've bought from a few different places and tried just about every flag material out there but i'm lucky if I get 6-8 months out of a flag before it starts coming apart. Coastal California location. thx

How do I fix it when the rope is broken and I’ve found it on the ground. There’s nothing to tape a new rope to so… I can’t find a video that addresses this problem

I have been trying to design an anti-furl device for my flag kit for some time. I have used brass washers and bushing and drilled holes in them to install clips but nothing works. I tried the plastic ones for sale online and have had issues with them as well. Do you have any suggestions on hardware or know of any kits that have a pulley at the top? This is a flag kit not a flagpole. Thx. Eagle Point, Oregon...

get you to come put a whole new rope system on my flag pole? When I moved in here the whole rope was broken and all came down, no rope on the pole at all. the top of the pole does lift down tho. My 1st house with a flag pole and no way to fly the flag.

Wonderful job of explaining it. Maybe you should have actually slowed the hell down in your demonstration though. I gave up on this useless video. You don't show how to do things at the speed of light.
