Cpl. Kelly: "We're not talking '50 Shades of Corporal' here." Can we all give a big *THANK YOU* for that one, too?!?! I seriously caught a LOL. 🤣 S/F

I genuinely enjoy how dry this humor is

I want to thank you for showing the one handed bowling knot because I am paralyzed on one side so I do a lot of things with one hand so thank you

My grandsons eyes are Glued to these videos. I question his motives.

It is funny you brought up a memory. In my younger days I worked for an electric utility. I was the clerk on line truck. I operated the truck and equipment and did crew clerical work. My first day the Forman said "do you know how to tie a bowline knot?" So he had me get a pigging string which was 1/4 inch cotton line about 6 feet long. So he showed me how to tie it. I was expected to keep that pigging string with me at all times. He would point at things on the truck or around the pole and say "bowline" and I was expected to tie it right the first time. Didn't matter what was going on, he would all of a sudden just point and "Bowline". this went on for weeks. I got pretty good at tying it at all angles, right side up or upside down. he had me crawl under the back of the truck and tie it. Thanks for the memory.

“50 Shades of Corporal. Dakota, call me” LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣

I think I learned more in this video than the last 10 knot videos I've seen. The one handed is awesome

This chick was impressed. 50 shades, too funny.

Thank you for these kind of vedios. I was a boater for over 40 years, and had to do many different kinds of knots while boating and camping. Was certified years ago one man, two man and infant first aid. Was active member of the United States Power Squadron were we taught these knots and many other things. But as time has past and I have not practiced them, I had forgotten how to do even simple knots. Age and a servere concussion over a year ago in a car accident has me working my way back to these memorys and usefully life saving tips. I still have my professional first aid case in my vehicle at all times. The internet and vedios like this are a G-D sent to keeping me alert, safe, self relient, sound and restores my past memorys. Thank You. From A 70 year old nature loving woman.

This is one of the first knots I teach my scouts thanks for the vid

I teach scouts and the bowline is the one knot most get stuck on (yes could be how I teach) but the main method you use looks simpler for them, I think I will try it. Thanks for sharing. 50 shades of bowline.

This knot was the very reason I looked and found your channel. You're a great teacher!! I watched a few but you are very detailed and I learn so much every week.

You do knot want to miss a chance to learn real skills like this from the Corporal!

For the years I was in the Boy Scouts I learned to tie the Bowline behind my back, one handed, also to tie the square knot behind my back. But we were taught the Bowline to do it 3 ways for both climbing, repealing, and rescue. I was always taught it was safer that way. One loop went around the chest and the other 2 loops went around each leg that way for a rescue it was like a cradle, for repealing or going down a cliff it was the best secured setup.

Sharing this one with my brother as he is the only one in his group of Dragon boaters who can tie a Bowline. Hopefully the others will watch and learn, and hopefully watch a few of your videos. I could never get it quite right until I found your videos Shawn,

We used the Bowline for pole top, bucket, and tower rescue back when I was in apprentice school. Had to tie a running Bowline so the rescue rope would cinch around the torso. This was back before fall arrest belts and safeties.

The only channel I spend more time watching the ads than the program. But it’s worth every minute! Fantastic information, incredible knowledge. Thanks for the educational, instructional videos!

I know you've gone over this before, Thank you for a full video with only this knot... It is very helpful!

Brilliant when you focus on one fundamental lesson. Thanks!

Tried the bowline using the pocket method...so much easier than the rabbit out of the hole!.. I think this is one of your best knot videos because of the practical demos. The knot, to an object, and to yourself.....thanks again sir.

Thank you Corporal for the challenge. I have been tying the bowline for decades. Mostly with horses to trees, hitching posts and trailers. I was surprised and disappointed with myself at my failures with the different variations. Repetition doing it correctly now.

Blind folded! This isn't only a tutorial. It's entertainment!

Your vids are like Christmas every week!!! Thanks for the refresher course!!! I haven't tied that knot since 1997!!! Thanks!!!!

THANK YOU brother for taking the time and sacrificing your time to make these videos for us. Love your video's

I was in the Navy and always use the Bowline, but was never showed the second technic. Thanks.

This is probably my favorite corporals corner video to date. High-yield competence instruction.

Great instruction and outstanding camera work. The bowline is a great solid knot that everyone should know. Thanks for showing how to lock the knot with a double overhand knot. I learned to do that with a half hitch. The extra work is necessary when people are going to be attached to it or depending on it for their safety.

In school ( fishery school ) we were taught about 57 ( I kid you not ;-) different knots and stitches. All of them were taught to be made behind our back - and with a time limit. Don't know half of them now ( 30 odd years ago... ), but I can still do all of them behind my back. We were also taught to make nets in Manilla string, with our bare hands ( no needle ), and after finishing it, to take it apart again...good ol' days :-) We were also encouraged to have a knife on us at all times ( as one would on board a ship ), don't think that would go down well with some of the populous today ;-) Even now when I leave the house, I always have at least three knives on me...hey I was told to always have a knife on one selves 'cause it will save your live more often the one would think... Skipper was right...more then once.

50 shades of Corporal- 🤣 had me cracking up!

This has to be one of my favorite videos on tying a bowline.

Next up tying the bowline with the non-dominant hand while blindfolded! Thanks for an excellent instructional video.

One handed Bird Box Bowline, slow enough to actually see how to do it. Everyone should practice it. When you need it, it's too late to practice. Awesome as usual . Thanks

Thx for teaching me how to do the bowline around myself or someone else. Ur the 1st to do it in a way i could actual apply it correctly. Like the 1st loop in the rope looks like an overhand 6P. Giving me the loop on the outside and rope laying on the top. Also which ends to pull tight and dress had me going. Practice, practice i got it now. I relearned about 20 knot/hitches in total but applying them in real life outdoor applications i found your channel one of the best. So i can see every angle as u r tying and to what and why. Alot of knots are shown by others but few people show for what and why! Thx alot. Very good videos!

removing the sunglasses and growing a beard makes you look more approachable. Great material!

Great video. The bowline was the first knot and it's applications that we went over back during my SAR training. I use it a lot.

Wow, perfect timing. I'm sitting in a Florida thunderstorm and the intro perfectly timed with a roll of thunder- Damnit Corporeal your good.

Your videos are informative, and easy to grasp. We also appreciate the subtle humor that you include. Keep ‘em coming! Hoorah!

Thanks for showing me the 2nd way. I am a Boatswain Mate in the Navy and never seen it done that way. This will be so much easier to teach my junior sailors thank you Corporal

I learned this knot from your channel and it is so useful once you get the hang of it. If I ever slip down a grassy verge I want you at the other end of a bowline para cord to my rescue. 👌

50 Shades of Corporal... I love it!

1:32 You can undo knots that are very tight by gently hammering them all around the knot. It takes a lot of time, but you can save the rope and reuse it without having to cut it... if you don't mind spending the time. I have to say, this is the best video I have ever seen that explains the practical use of knots in different situations. Excellent work!

lol Corporal being knotty in this episode!

I been needing to say I appreciate you serving "Thank You Sir" and your videos are in the real world, the way it is. Throw in the mac and cheese bacon sausage samish and it's nap time daddy-o lol lol

One Handed Bowline BLIND? Top Drawer Stuff THANKS! That has Real World Application...

The best thing about this knot is that it won't tighten up. You can keep a knot at the end of your cord when you make up the line and, you're always ready for any situation. 50 shades of Corpral? Hahahahaha! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

It was simple af thankyou corp. Kelly you made it easy instead of from a book

I love the bowline. In french we call it noeud de chaise (chair knot). I knew how to tie it but not the way you do around the tree. Very instructive!

You make it look easy...and with 10 minutes practice, it is easy. Thanks. Cheers from Winnipeg

50 shades of Corporal 🤣

Yes, a double overhand knot for bowline backup is reliable, secure, and hard to make a mistake. I also use well.

A terrific presentation on this useful rescue knot. Thank you.

Dude this was a great video ! Humor was right amount of corporal to funny ratio lol

Good stuff. Multiple ties for knots is a very useful skill.

hahaha! actually the chicks were impressed hahaha me and my mom were intrigued! you got new subscribers!

Thanks for fully showing the bowline and its many uses. Excellent info for everyday and emergency situations.

Excellent teaching! I enjoyed it and thanks!

Great variety of content man, keep It up. Much appreciated.

Fantastic, I've watched your other knot videos and this was the best version of the one-handed bowline. As always the knowledge sharing.

This is my #1 knot, it's the first knot I remember my dad teaching me. We are starting cub scouts up in our town and I'm making a booklet of knots for them. 1st one in the book? You guessed it. Thanks for the video, as I've never done the one hand around the body.

I love the classic bowline.

Again a great guy once said learn the skill and own the skill. Thank you for your service.

Now I know 3 methods of tying the bowline. And im sure im several more. Knots are such an interesting world. Thanks for your videos! They are amazing!

Thanks for the teaching videos! I’m not an outdoorsman, but learning about knots can be useful anywhere! Again, thanks!

Another great knot video.

Great vid as always

Outstanding! Better and more relevant content than any other video on the subject.

I like how you apply this versatile knot in different situations. Its easier to perform the knot when you see it done a few times. After watching this I don't think I'll ever forget how to do the bowline knot. Thank you

Corporal, thank you for sharing another awesome tutorial, I found it easy to follow,, I will be keeping this knot in my bag of tricks. Thanks again, have a wonderful week, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🔥☕️🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻

Blindfolded great job! Thats how I play my drums time to time! Excellent brother!

Bowline, double figure 8, and sheepshank are line work gold.

I’m an old school Coastie. It’s been a while since I practiced my knots. Fun to remember all these.

Shawn, another great one, some commenters say the bowline is dangerous, Hell, so are Cars, planes, bikes, just about everything, but I swear you have me convinced it’s the best around, even to the point when I see someone else do a ridge line any other way than yours, I’m shouting No No, used it many years ago in the Army and it never let me down, take care buddy,😃

Thank you for doing these how to's. I learn a ton every time I watch. But what I wanted to say today is that by you showing us how to tie the same knots in several different ways, it really makes a huge difference and it takes away all the "But I can't" talk. Keep em coming, keep up the good work and just plain old keep on keepin on.

I loved! This video ! I only knew the 1 way to tie a bowline knot. This was fun also thanks. 👍🏻

Great video! You just keep getting better and better, and I am that much smarter for it. Thank you!

As a fifteen year professional firefighter that was the first knot we learned at the academy

I forwarded this video to my hubby and explained that tying a bowline one handed while blindfolded is supposed to be very sexy per the Corporal's Corner. He is a radio tower service engineer also certified in tower safety and rescue so he KNOWS knots and rigging .... but I left him looking toward his rope bucket with a very contemplative look on his face :-)

Another good video! In Ranger School, we had to tie all of the required knots with drive-on rag covering our eyes! We also tied a double bowline for rappelling!

Great video. Thanks for the demonstration on showing us the easy way to tie a bowline knot

50 Shades of Corporal? outstanding. I´d see that movie. Cheers

I literally spit out/lost my coffee with the 50 shades comment! And then the birdbox comment too! Great video, great humor.. makes Learning fun and easy to remember!

Awesome! Very useful!

Very informational and in-depth instruction. Thank you corporal!

Wow. A one-hand self-rescue bowline. After four fails I have it down. Many thanks for sharing.

Love your informational teachings. Thank you.

aaaaaaaand another extremely useful video from the Corporal !

good instruction vid Shawn the orange line makes it very easy to follow thanks again

That video was OUTSTANDING! the part of tying it around yourself and objects was very helpful. And let me end this by saying one handed blindfold? You’re a beast thank you for the video!

Bowline is the only knot I trust my life to I had to watch your opening tie several times,,, I kept on saying "momma said its the devil tying it like that"

I'm very weak in the knot thing dept but after having watched this feel confident in being able to tie this knot. Also about lost it after the 50 shades of corporal and bird box comments.

I am saving this video so I can view it later when outside practicing tying the knots until I am totally proficient in using them. I like the way you made the bowline and is able to take it apart when through.

Love that knot. Saw it on a previous video. Til then I use it every time outdoors.

That shirt is Bad AF!! I know it's the amazing bowline again to the rescue, but I can't help getting excited. Anything that keeps me from cutting my cordage or trying to chew a knot apart. Again thanks for the awesome videos. Everything you do is amazing. NC

Well displayed Shawn !

WOW great demostration

50 shades of corporal.... thanks for the nightmares dude!

I like that you showed multiple ways even blindfolded. Great video! Know videos tend to be boring and hard to learn...the way you put this together worked out great. I also like that you used a bright rope which makes it much easier to follow along

Thanks for the informative video, as always, and for the letting us see the comedic side of you. Keep them coming. Great video. ATB

Thank you. You are great at making it perfectly clear how to follow. Another video saved to use as reference. (if needed)
