Corporal, I'm a 67 yr old (VN ERA vet, never in country, European duty due to MOS, i.e Pershing Missile related). Of all your vids I've watched, this one has got to be listed as my #1 favorite. Teaching a youth, assuming your son, is one of the greatest things I have seen you do. Trust me, at my age I know what I'm talking about, the memory you and your son will have of days like the one creating this vid will bring a smile on your faces in the years to come. Cherish them. One other thing, maybe you could let the young man join you in more of your teaching vids. Would be great for all of us to watch and learn from you as you pass down your knowledge not only to KZfaqrs but your off spring as well. I say it that way because you may have a girl as well. Keep up the outstanding work your doing.

Your son is incredibly lucky to have a father that does things like this with him. Some father's are violent drunks, others are just emotionally detached and couldn't care less about spending time with their sons or teaching them anything.

Gotta get your son wearing a bandana like dad. Thanks for sharing. Never too young to learn life’s skills.

Well, I stuck around young man. Glad I did. Thanks. Another video for my grandson.

Cool to see a father & son together having fun in nature...lil man was having as much if not more fun than his dad....awesome job guys keep up the great work...

Just bought a house with that span of trees in the backyard....showed this to my son....will be learning this together. Thanks!

Awesome series! Great to see a young man "learning the ropes"! Carry on.

this remains one of the most informative, nuts-and-bolts channels on YT. Well done. PS - great kid!!

I know this video came out a long time ago but I'd never gone back to see it since it was from before I started watching the channel. Very imformative. I learned a couple of new knots. I now know where the scene from the start of all your videos comes from so glad this showed up in my queue today!

EXCELLENT demonstration. Your son is so lucky to have you.

Always love videos when a parent includes their kid.

Another top notch video!! Your son is lucky to have you for his dad! I can only imagine the wealth of information he will learn over the years from your experiences! As you say, Outstanding!! Good to go!

Awesome job with both the technical instruction, and the parenting!

great videp.that's a very lucky young boy,learning survival so early in life, and from an expert father.

Shared. Timeless even after years. A great simple tutorial

It's cool you brought your son.

very cool when a father and son team.thank you for the lesson

Little Dude looked very comfortable on the bridge. Outstanding!

Outstanding. Teaching life skills to leaders of tomorrow is critical to the Republics survive. Well done sir.

As always, done with perfection! Thanks for the safety hints and advice! Thanks so much, Sir! And best regards to your kid - I was lucky enough to share time and stuff with my father: those were amongst the best times and gifts of my life. And finally, that's what life is all about... Thanks a lot and best from Germany to you and your beloved ones, Tom

Well I’ll be... there’s hope for the next generation. Awesome video nice to see your son in it, he seems like a smart smart man

One of the best teachers on You Tube by a mile. Explain things clearly plus love that you pause for a while on a knot, etc so we can take in how it should look. Makes we want to go out and do these things when lockdown ends.

Great !! So....that's where the cool ending comes from. And such a nice young man.

I appreciate the close ups of the knot work, its been awhile since I had to do this stuff and I cant remember alot of the knot names and techniques. Thanks again

Nice to see the young man being so confident,he has a great teacher.You are very good at explaining and makes any task look very easy.Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge with us

Cool to watch. Simple to understand. Thanks for yet another tool to add to the arsenal.

Great kid you've got there, Corporal. You come up with some unique projects.

I think this is one my favorites, Sean. Carry on Corporal.

I have learned more watching your videos than I did in my years in the Marine Corps, I am a Vietnam Veteran. Enjoyed your son in the video. Semper Fi.

Good show Dad. The only thing I would add to both rope bridge and knot videos is the fact that the butterfly knot puts far less stress on the rope than other knots, making it the best knot for mid-line connections.

Oh! Wow. I just happened on this particular video and it's wonderful to see how the ending credits that I've seen for a few years now; came to be!!❤

Excellent, and great help from the little man! Though not so little now considering this was three years ago.

Cool!!!! Thanks, for demonstrating this simple, but useful knowledge!!!

Thanks once a gain for a clear and well thought out presentation. ATB. Nigel

hi john this is Erika from school I like your youtube chanel

Out-STANDING young man ya got there, corporal. BOO-YAH!

Great information, well presented - thank you. Your son is learning all the right skills!

A future Marine in the making...nothing wrong with early training. Pretty cool. Semper Fi.

Wow! Your boy's growing quick. Outstanding video.

Awesome video. Looks like a lot of fun. I’m going to show this video to my stepdad so we can add this to our survival book. Thank you

Thank you corporal. From Japan.

Love your channel corporal, I’m a new subscriber brought in from your solo over night vids and reviews but enjoy your entire catalog. Just to echo off everyone else comments this has to be my favorite video. My father brought me out camping at a young age and I have many, many cherished memories with him in the outdoors. Seeing you with your son spending quality time in nature, having fun is an amazing thing, reminded me of my childhood with my dad. I wish you happy Father’s Day and thank you for your hard work on your videos.

this is awesome....its my learning for the day, thank you very much, another skill in my box of knowledge

I really enjoy your videos and instruction. I have learned all my knots from you. Keep up the great work.

I would like to see 11 or 12 more little Corporal Kelly's! Awesome vid, Awesome son! Awesome mom and dad! I'm practicing knots. Thanks for teaching!!

Thank you, both! Great tutorial. Super Duper brave young man! A hero in the making. 🌞

Fantastic video that will inspires others to quality team work 😊😊👏👏 little due sure is GREAT!!

GR8 video! Thank you loved the knots!

Jee Whizz Corporal I thaught u somehow managed to "clone" yourself! Then I realized the young man must be family as he's got your look's, right down to the "shade's"! Plenty of time on our hands here so keep coming across these golden oldie's from u. Outstanding video as usual. Stay Safe, keep that lil dude safe and of course Salute and Respect ♥

7:55 Lol, that kid and his nod, that cracked me up!

I know it's an old video, but these experiences shape the lives of young people. No matter what paths they find themselves on along the way...these times help them find their way to the core character that can guide them.

Outstanding Corporal!. I Got-Dam guarantee their aint no single moms out there teaching their sons that. Carry on.

great job by your young assistant

Man I love your channel! Thanks for doing what you do! I have a small tract of timber in east Texas and you’ve given me a ton of ideas for me and young boys to do out there. Thanks!

Great stuff. Great information.

Excellent job Corporal. Oorah

Little dude is medium dude now. Outstanding AF!

A chip off the Marine Corps block. Great Vid.

Great stuff, keep posting!

Absolutely awesome 😎

Молодец парень , гордись таким отцом !

Crazy how much the little guy has change from this video to the recent videos of him and Corporal. 2 cool guys 🤟

Thank you for sharing your passion

Hey ..great to see. " Lance Corporal " ...oooooorah !

Just AWESOME & LOVELY ^_^

Outstanding!

Excellent!

06/30/2022 Second watchingh. Good to see you working with a boy. He needs training and one on one male time. Very good. Don

Very cool video

The kids did an awesome job

Awesome. Nice collaboration

That was indeed good to go

Great teaching for youth. He'll make a fine marine one day.

Nice lesson men.

Me at 252.2 pounds at 6 foot, being a firefighter, watching corporals corner do some rope bridges, sees his son doing it. What my girlfriend hears: "DAMN IT THIS KID IS MORE BAD ASS THAN I AM"

Cool...good job, guys! Thank you!

Good stuff Cpl

Active fathers are the coolest people around.

Outstanding AF

❤❤❤❤❤ very nice

Thanks for the info

Great video. Should have your son help more often 😃

he has grown up so much since then

Great vid.

love the videos with med size dude lol

first time seeing this video!!

Outstanding video devil dog. My questions is how can you recover your rope? You may need it for another crossing.

I could see making this into a "ready-to-go" kit, so you have a 50' bridge kit or a 100' bridge kit.

Great vid and awesome to have your son involved. Very cool!

This channel is great tho. Thx for video!

Cool video and exercise. I think a voodoo loop with a clove hitch is a better way to tension a rope.

can you do more videos like this

Passing a rope around a tree is a lot easier when you have a helper :) Good job everyone!

Dobry film z udziałem twojego syna brawo 👍😊

Hey man love your videos can you do a video on a transport tightening system used in us army ranger rope bridging

Great video. Can you comment on the use of gloves/no-gloves for postman rope bridge crossing? IMO would prefer training both ways in controlled environment.

Magñifico!

Thank you--great tutorial. Would this work long term or would it kill the tree over time?

excellent 🍻

May you explain us why you choose alpine butterfly loop over the usual truckers hitch loop ? More leverage ? Not breaking the rope ? I would like to know more about why this or that knot, and the mindset behind :) Thanks !
