Dear Joshua, I do wish to thank you for your service to our great country! I did not expect my last comment would get such attention. I just want to state that your video's are very educational and also inspirational. Would you be able to do a series on what just the 10 C's are and in your opinion teach one skill that apply to each of the 10 C's? We as bush craft students do not need to know about 3000 knots or 50 different trees! Just do a educational series of the basic core essentials so we can practice them to become better and then move on to a more advanced skill.
@GrayBeardedGreenBeret4 жыл бұрын
Well, the problem with taking requests like that is that they are very person-specific and often don’t speak for enough people to make them worth doing, so I don’t do it. While it may be exactly what you would like to see, or exactly how you think they should be done, and meet your needs exactly, that isn’t a really accurate or representative sample of what the majority are looking for or need. Subjects that I choose to do videos on are on a constant trial and assess basis. I try and produce content that is relevant to the most people possible; after production I assess and crunch numbers to determine performance of a particular style or subject, and adjust for the next series in order to be relevant to more and more people. As far as what a Bushcraft student “needs”, I would argue that the teacher would probably be a better person to make that determination than the student would. It’s not often that a person would take a class to learn what they don’t know just to tell the professor what it is they are willing to learn or should be taught. Anyway, I do take suggestions into consideration and weigh them into the bigger picture, but in the end it comes down to what I feel is best for my channel and those that choose to follow it.

Well, what I started with was twine which is a simple and relatively weak twist of material. I then took that twine and turned it into rope (although at this smaller diameter it might be referred to as cordage instead of rope). So yes, wanted to make it stronger which made it thicker. I have a video already on making reverse wrap natural cordage which will show you how to produce the baseline material for it from scratch. Welcome to the channel!
