You have legitimately created the most user friendly video guide to tying knots i've seen. Even back to your original bowline videos. They truly are OUTSTANDING. thank you for taking the time to share. I know I have learned a lot from them.

Dont ever apologize for repetition or refreshers. This is my go to for knots and I thank you for it!!! I treat knots like i do my archery. Practice Practice Practice

As a veteran, I love the outdoors; just came across your site last week and haven’t stopped watching it. You are one of the few who pays attention to details and explains every step both verbally and visually. Your a great instructor and very methodical in your way of teaching. Be safe my brother and thank you for serving.🇺🇸🇺🇸

you rock, Corporal! don't stop the simplicity! I love that you repeat the same knots in different videos IN CONTEXT so I a) learn the knot and b) understand the context in which it is used. For those of us who are spatially impaired, and have little to no experience, it is more helpful than any other survival channel out there for learning the basics and feeling confident. I think I've watched your "minimum shelter kit" video 50 times to learn the bowline, prussik, and trucker's hitch in context of putting up a basic shelter, LOL! there are lots of great channels on survival for those who already have the basics - so KISS works for both beginners to gain confidence and to remind experienced folks of the power of simplicity!

I keep a piece of cord about a foot long on the coffee table..good for practicing during commercial breaks...or while waiting for a new vid from the corporal..:) nice work!

I've watched a bunch of your videos and followed along using my own cordage; and what I've found is that you have an amazing gift for making things very simple and easy to understand. Thank you for that. It seems a rare thing. For me, I've watched a ton of videos on different ways of tying the same knots and have learned multiple knots; because my aim has been to UNDERSTAND THE ESSENCE OF KNOT TYING. And I think I'm beginning to. That way; if you were to come across a situation you had never prepared for and had to get creative - understanding the ESSENCE of the different kinds of knots and how they function in different ways can give you a leg up in creating a viable solution. For instance... I noticed a similarity between the cow's hitch, the lark's head knot, the prusik knot, and the cat's paw. They all use the same basic movement; while the cat's paw adds a twist to both sides. I watched a video on the Marlin Spike Hitch; where the guy gave something like 5 different knots that could be created from that one knot. One of those was the slip knot, another was the bowline. There again... it pays to understand the INNER WORKINGS OF KNOTS and how you can transform them to other knots. If you know the reason WHY something works; you can easily work out how to tie these same knots or new ones, or even ones that are better.

I cant tell you how many times I've used your knot videos to find a knot I need...in the garage...camping ... Thank you from an old Navy man that has forgotten so much.

I appreciate the repetition and the simplicity of your system. I've watched a number of your videos and the repetition in them has allowed me to learn some of the knots without having to back up and re-watch the same video time and again. I'm excited to get out and try them. I've always been a tent person but I'm wanting to take my tarp out and play with it to utilize the quick-deploy ridgeline system I made modeled on what you do. Thank you.

I really appreciate how you show a couple ways to achieve the same result. The attention to detail has brought me confidence in my ability to replicate what you do with precision. You are a great teacher.

I hadn't seen anyone start with the marlin and end up with a bowline before..very slick! All of these are some of my favorites for our craft. Excellent presentation as always sir!

Thank you for the knot refresher course!!! VERY useful vid to teach you some very good camp/survival knots. EVERYONE should know these knots!!!

I come back to these for refreshers frequently. Great stuff man.

I like your mindset very much and can’t agree more - having a few important knots and hitches burned into your brain and having the ability to use them in critical situations without thinking makes a huge difference and can even safe lives. Awesome video, very helpful - semper fi Marine! 🗽

Thank you so much for taking your time and patience showing how to do your knots and explaining why you use them. So very helpful

I’m glad that you are persistent, I am a 72 year old lady trying to learn these knots, I have been using the truckers knots for years and didn’t know that it had a name... I sit with a small green rope (which I know probably has a name) trying to do these knots! You are right though about keep your brain busy, thanks for what you do, have a blessed day

I was homeless for 6 years; and wish I had learned some of these knots, hitches and such, back then. Now, I have made it a mission to learn the most valuable knots; and eventually, I will teach them to other homeless people. I understand what you say about simplicity. When I would wrap my bedroll; I found a way to simply wrap (spiral several times) the two tag ends around the main lines, which caused a lot of friction to keep the tension, without having to rely on knots. Undoing the whole thing was very simple. I would squeeze the roll in order to remove the outward pressure and simply pull from the center or the beginning of the windings. Something else that I can imagine would come in quite handy; is that palm wrap thing that you did in another video... keeping the cordage nice and tidy and instantly deployable, while remaining free of tangles as you unwind it. Brilliant!

Until last year I was not very much into camping or shelters or anything like that. I saw your videos because of the paracordknots/hitches I was interrested in. The way you showed how to tie the hitches is simply great! Because of your videos I am now able to set up a tarp in a very short amount of time. For me it was really helpful that you have shown your hitches not in a single video but in several videos where you set up a line. The repetition is the reason I've learned it. I like your way how comprehensible you instruct us viewers during the video. Thank you for all the tips and tricks! Greetings from Gießen/Germany🤗

Fine job. One of the most important skills any one can learn - these basic knots. Your teaching skills are excellent.

My dad made me tie knots behind my back with one hand. Growing up i did as i was told but i thought he was over the top. Till one night i needed to tie my knots and hold on to car to keep it from rolling. A truck with and a car in a ditch.

Excellent video! I like the reinforcement of these fundamentals. In high stress/pressure situations that muscle memory will be key to success. Awesome.

Muscle memory is so important! It was difficult for me to earn to tie my shoes in a different way (in order to make sure they would not come untied without a double knot -which still comes untied!) but now I know no other way! I intend to tie things over and over till I get to produce the correct knots every time.

Been fully furloughed for a month now due to covid 19. So needless to say its a challenge to fight the boredom. It’s a cold windy morning here in the Texas panhandle so outside activities aren’t a usual option. But i started watching your knots and lashes video, grabbed a piece of rope, and started learning the knots. It truly helped time go by easily and i found myself smiling and talking to you in the video. You never know just how a video will help someone out there. Thank you for helping this ol retired fireman with a passion for survival fight the boredom off till my hospital maintenance job returns. What you do is appreciated far more than you know...

When you do a running commentary on knots saying things like, “away from me”, “around the tree”, “back through the hole” etc it really helps explain what you’re doing but also how to remember the steps later on. I usually get your knots first time. Thanks!

Couldn't agree more. Simple knots, well learned are best. Your a good teacher 👍Thanks 😎

I love knots! YAY! I am creating a hammock in crochet with nylon. It will last forever!

I once knew a lot of bends, hitches and knots--that was a long time ago. Now I'm relearning some of them from Cpl. Kelly; his videos are outstanding AF.

Seems like no matter how many times I work with knots i always refer to your videos on Hitches, Lashes and Knots! Thanks so much! Great resource!

As always simple clear instruction,thank you.

Great and practical knots! Thanks you so much for sharing.

Your're instructions are plain and easy to understand, you take the time to explain in detail where other wanabe bushcraft video's do not, i'm very gratefull for you sharing this knollage and i cant help but picture myself living with native americans in the 18th centuary lol if i was not so ill now i would be out there myself but age haS CAUGHT UP WITH ME NOW AND MY PAST ABUSE OF MY BODY LIMMITS ME BUT ILL BE DAMNED IF I DONT GET OUT THERE NEXT FALL

Corporal Kelly GREAT INSTRUCTIONS ON HITCHES, KNOTS and LASHES, I learn very much from your videos. THANK YOU!!!!!

Thank you for all you do! I’ve learned so much just by watching.

Thanks so much for your time! Invaluable knowledge gained! Now for part two.

Wonderful compilation of useful knots and their applications! Thanks so much for all the effort! Love your channel!

Thank you! Always great videos!!

When I was in the Navy, we had to learn lots of rope work, didn't use them much after that, plus those days were a long, long time ago! your presentations have proved very useful, now I am into Wild Camping, anybody thinking of doing that, can learn all the Hitches etc of Corporal, most will include Bacon and Cheese too.

Excellent video sir. Thank you for your knot lessons!

Corporal, thanks for taking the time to go over these. I need to practice I was only a Specialist during my time in the Army. Thanks again!

Thanks, I've seen a bunch of knot vid's. Liked the way you "tied" it all together with real world uses. Excellent.

Excellent content Corporal. Thank you for the knowledge. I have used every single one of these knots and yes so simple yet effective.

thank you Corporal for your informative yet easy to follow tutorials keep them coming

That was better than good to go, that was OUTSTANDING!

Thanks Corporal, keep showing these knots in all your vids, i can almost make one before i even tried to make it myself. Your my go to guy on You Tube.

Works great for me the way your teaching. Nice and easy. Thank you so very much..

Great stuff.I always had a hard time learning knot tying from books.You take your time to show how it is done. Simplify. Thanks Corporal.

I love your choice of knots, they are good for many many more things than what you show here and your demonstration is excellent.

I’ve learned ALL my knots, hitches, and lashes from you because of the repetition and application Corporal. Much appreciated and truly all one needs to get er done! Outstanding

Outstanding training thanks

Your explanation right on the spot, why complicate things.

As always great information. Most people want to do the least to get the most effect. Your videos provide that.

this is beyond amazing, it's life-saving! Very well explained and very useful!

Thanks again coporal. ...once again always informative and respectful. ...thank you.

Super easy and direct instructions on how to tie knots!! I’ve watched other videos and they don’t compete on how informative your videos are. Amazing videos keep up the good work!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I AM AMAZING MYSELF AT HOW MUCH I AM LEARNING. PLEASE KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING AND THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE.

Excellent Demos, thanks!

Well done Shawn, an excellent tutorial pal.

Loved the intro! It made me laugh and a laugh was needed this morning.

Nice mini-series, Corporal. Love the practical 'grunt' applications in 'hootch-ology'. Ha, ha, can't take the 'mud roller' out of the ole vet! ;-)

Very good! Again very pleased with your video and the work you put in them. Nice to have such great learning videos that are straight to the point.

thank you for the interesting knots I need to see them over and over as im completely new to this.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience! 👍👍✊

Thanks, man. for taking the time out of your day to share this information with us, I appreciate it.

Excellent video as always. Thanks again.

Thanks for the demos!

Knots splices, hitches, and slings are very useful. I have found them so. As most people cant tie them. Its just practice really, you soon het the hang of it. I served in the Royal Navy uk, and have found them very usefull, in both my naval service and out side the service. Very good that video on knots. And informative.

Fantastic job. Definitely a video I'll go to in the future when I need to brush up on my knots.

Love this info on knots!

Knots are so useful and important. Great topic. You make it easy to understand as always. Great job!

I fully learned these knots in grade school, I'm 59 now and now am an avid sailing afficienado, Some of these knots, humbly spoken, are scouting & sailing knots not only used for such.

Well done! I especially love the anti-slip not for the ridge line. That will prove to be extremely useful! Thank you.

Thanks for the tutorial, Corporal! And from a Civilian, THANK YOU for your Service!!!

Thanks for the training - Invaluable.

I always appreciate your very informative videos. Simplicity is always best. Thank you for sharing.

This is outstanding, thank you for your great videos!

Ha Ha! Thank you! Ive struggled trying to make a bow line and i amaze myself how many different ones i make and all different. Your version of the marlin made it finally simple for me. Im glad you repeat them because though simple for the experienced it is very complex and hard for me to learn unless i can get it down to memory mucle as you said.

Thank you! I'm working knots again today!!

Like a great man said learn the skill and own that skill. Thank you for your service.

Thanks for the prusik knot. I wish I knew about that one over the last 50 years, but it's never too late to learn. Great stuff!!!

It's really a great feeling when you use a combination of hitches and bends to do something and it turns out right first time.

Great vid! I love it. Keep up the great work!

Keep up the excellent instructional videos, always top notch , thanks !

We always followed the KISS principle, especially when in the field. If you have to stop and think about what you're doing, and that task is a routine one, you either have not drill enough, or what you're doing has been made over complicated. For example, do you think about every step you take, when tying your laces? The answer is no, it's done automatically with muscle memory for the most part. These knots should be muscle memory, no thinking required. Great instructional video, keep em coming.

very very nice thanx Corporal.

Thank you, I will be practicing these, you are very good at teaching how to. Hope my memory will stick with practice.

Great video... learned basic knots in Boy Scouts many many years ago. Some I can tie in my sleep, some o don’t remember at all! I need to re learn many! Thanks for post, I am going to practice some of these! Thanks for posting!

I love learning more knots and their use, but you’re right. Simplicity is key! Specially when it hits the fan, or you are not a knot lover/memorizor. Everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Take care.

Outstanding video! Thank you very much for your hard work and dedication on our behalf, Semper Fi!

That is some great knots! They work for a lot of different things

Thank you for your excellence! Semper Fi 🇺🇸🏆

Nicely done!

Great video. Thanks!👍👍

One word, "OUTSTANDING"

Yep Simply Good usefull Knots well demonstrated Thanks again

Outstanding!!! Thanks! I have learned so much from watching your videos!

Good stuff, Thank you Sir.

I have binged on your videos for over 12 hours. Your content is some of the best I've seen on KZfaq. Thank you for the great information and presentation.

Amen 🙏! 😃👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Thanks again Corporal!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
