You are an excellent instructor. Those ten knots are useful for not only the outdoors, but in day-to-day life as well. I am amazed at how often I use knots. Your knot instructions are very easy to understand and transition well from one knot to another.

My dad was as close to a trapper from the early 1800s as he could be. Tanned his own hides and made his own buck skins (with the help of my mom's sowing). I didn't appreciate what he tried to teach me in my younger days but tried like hell to absorb what he knew in his later days. I'm so thankful for the priceless hard earned knowledge he passed down to me. Im doing my best to pass what little I was able to learn to my children. It's heartbreaking to realize how much knowledge died with him but I'm so thankful for what he taught me .

When Dave goes into teaching mode it’s like magic happening right before my eyes. Had the same feeling when watching 4days4real.

Thanks for the information you shared with us today. I really enjoyed the time you took to explain the process we need to use for each knot while increasing our woodsmanship skills. This is why I believe practice + preparation = success when we are using our skills to assist others that may need our assistance to continually move forward. Thank you for helping this mature woodsman increase his knowledge. .

As usual an excellent demonstration on knots.

Dave I think that this is a tutorial that I’m going to save even if I know how to do the knots but your teaching techniques are spot on and it can definitely help someone I may see losing cordage because of lack of their own inexperience thanks for putting this one up

You never waste our time. I know I enjoy all your videos and length is not an issue. I always learn something new when I watch your videos. Appreciate your unselfish commitment to your followers.

I spent 6yrs in the navy and spend a lot of time camping but suck at remembering knots.. this has been so helpful. thanks!

Thanks for the refresher Dave! I learned all of these in Boy Scouts...about 40 years ago. Without practice I've forgotten most. I watched some of Kelly's videos before I started going out for solo overnights and that helped too. I just need to practice more to stay fresh.

I've learned more from you about trapping in the eastern woodlands, the outdoors and survival than my own father. Sincerely, thank you.

Fantastic! Thank you for this. This is the best tutorial I've seen.

Excellent job Dave. I love learning knots but most importantly how and when to use them and you explained it very well.

Outstanding as always Dave.

Thanks Dave for the Refresher it always helps an old man. Y'all have a great day and stay safe and keep your powder dry!

Probably the best basic knot video I've ever seen, and I've seen dozens over the last 15 years or so. Very clear, precise and logical, thank you.

I am sharing these videos with my grandsons and an assistant division commander of the Young Marines (kids 8y/o-graduation of high school) so he can share it with his trading officers.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'll probably have to watch this a few more times to memorize all those knots. 👍

Thank you for sharing how to tie these common knots. Very easy to follow.

Thanks Dave u are an excellent teacher

Great systemic approach to teaching this!

Never get tired of your videos...

Woodsmen/Bushcrafters/survivalists should practice this and more regularly..

Man this is fantastic. I've watched at least a couple dozen knot tying videos in my life but this has to be the best instructional video I've seen!

Greetings Mister Canterbury! I would like to congratulate you for the knots and ties tutorial. It's a topic that enchants me, especially because my grandfather was a sailor and that brings back good memories for me. Peace and Good to the mister! Big hug 💪!

Love this video. I plan to use it with my scout troop to keep their skills up.

Great video as always Dave. I test myself by practicing my knots blind folded. Tying them by feel just in case you have to tie one in the dark you can’t see real good

I'm an old guy now (dating back to Viet Nam days) but still kickin"! That's great that you have disciplined yourself to do your knots in the dark. May I suggest that you also practice in the dark with other things like your gun or guns (unloaded) and your pack items (organized so you know what is in each pocket. Comes in handy!!!

I'm using your instructions to enhance my backcountry skills. Thank you for not only demonstrating the knot but for explaining why it works. You make it make sense.

Always so generous with your knowledge Dave. Thanks for this awesome content

Such good information. I need to practice. No.... I need to take a class, ... and practice.

Excellent. This video really adds useful information to many of these knots I already (sort of) knew. I appreciate how this will greatly improve my practical application of all these knots. Thank you, David.

Great video, I Love Knots. 👌😎👍

Outstanding Dave!

Thanks Dave! This is invaluable information for anyone from survivalists to the youth of today's world! You're doing great work with your teachings!

Great video Dave!

Thank you. I can never get enough of your excellent instructions.

SWEET MAGIC... VERY USEFUL ☆☆☆☆☆ Thanks ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Another bang up video! I'm already fairly well versed with most of those knots. But I never seen the larks foot used like that... makes sense tho! Learned me something new. I'm surprised you didn't have the taut line in the line up. Great video!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 super helpful Dave❗️

Very nice review there, Dave.

Thank you keeping this on file.

Thank you! Now I have two sets of ridge lines - one for my "poncho setup" - which I use for my one day hikes, and one for larger tarps and overnighters. Enables me to set up camp in just 10 minutes. Just great sir :)

Nothing like a good knot

By great good fortune, I found this video while I was looking for a knot that would allow me to make a public-land-friendly gear hanger for my treestand in bow season. Your last knot -- the arbor knot with the Canadian jam knot and slippery hitch fits the bill perfectly. A few carabiners slipped over the cord, and I'm in business. Easy on, easy off. The fancy one Tethrd sells is $25.00. My 8' piece of paracord cost maybe $2.00. Maybe. And I'm using skills rather than stuff. Thanks, Dave! You're a great help to us all.

Great knot video !!! Best video on knots for camping and survival.

It could be that left hand right brain thing or you are an amazing teacher I learn things from you no one else has been able to teach me

Amazing content Dave! Thank you!

I learned an improved stop knot today. Thanks Dave.

That was excellent. Thank you for all your work.

Thank you for the video... It's ALWAYS a good refresher course on rope tying 👍🏻

Looks real good Dave. Thanks for showing us and take care.

Thanks man! Very simple to learn from you & corporal Kelly! Love yalls videos & the the wealth of knowledge! Thanks again for sharing!

Nice! - Always willing to Learn Dave

damn. That's about the best knot tying video I've ever seen.

Thank you Dave.

Well done. Thank you. I learned new uses for knots I have been using for years.

Probably the best knot class ever ... I had to do knots to get my Divemaster Cert. ... but not for my instructor cert. for scuba diving ... must know knots on the water ...

Thank you Dave that was very great video on the basic knots quick and easy!

Great vid Dave. Keep up the good work.

Excellent video. Extremely efficient demonstrations, and explanations.

These are great I really enjoy your videos!

Excellent video! Simple and Instructive. Best I've seen it taught.👍

Thank you Dave!

Quality video Dave thank you, I hope to see you at the intermediate class next year.

Best teacher ! .

Outstanding instructions

Thanks Dave!

Super valuable info. Thank you.

As always excellent

Great video - thanks!

excellent course!

Funny enough as I learn these damn things. Folk's actually argue about this subject which in return I find hilarious. Awesome video.

Fantastic Video..

Wow! That was a really great knot video! Thanks!!!

Awesome as always. Thx

A sheet bend is also handy to tie each end of, say a 5’-7’ rope, to opposite diagonal corners of a rolled bandana. The bandana fits comfortably onto your forehead, the rope is down your back, and carries a load there. This is a tumpline. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

By 6:35, I had to take a break to let stuff settle in. Awesome tutorial 🪄🪄🎁

This is a great video my friend. Thanks to you and others I do know a few knots.

I swear i thought you were speaking with a virtual background on the first minutes of the video. I think i have to reduce my usage of zoom 😂 Anyway, nice video and content and also nice to give us a rest on eating, after trying to cook all your recipes 😜

Awesome instructions

Thanks Dave

Great video !!!!!!!

Great video

Really good video

I use to watch a guy named Zack who worked on Alaska fishing boat. He can make knots and it looks like he is swinging his arms but when he's done it's a knot that you can quickly bound things together.

Thank you !

This is a video that every person who goes to the woods should see, and save for review. Dave has done a more extensive set of videos covering knots, line and rope, a few years ago. Well worth viewing and saving. Why save the videos ? You can watch videos like this all day long, but until you actually tie the knots, you will never really learn how and be proficient at tying them. Saving and practicing the steps, along with watching helps proficiency. Great rehash of the basics Dave, this is the stuff we all need to see often. I've sat and tried to tie these knots many times, and as soon as I quit I forget them. So, repeating is key, practice over and over and over. ;-)

Dam good info 👌. Nicely done on video and thank you.. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍

Excellent! 👌🏽😎👍🏽

Thank you

Thank you for making this video. This exact type of video would make a perfect series of videos that people can sit and join along with you in learning to tie knots. What kind of rope is that and how long of a piece would work well if a person was to sit down and learn along with you?

I found some dyneema cordage, Amsteel brand, 1/8 inch and 1000 pound breaking strength. Insane, right? Weighs nothing, doesn’t absorb water I thought I’d hit the ultimate cordage jackpot. The joke is on me because the stuff is so damn slippery that something like a prusic is very difficult to get it to bite and hold! Still experimenting…got some mule tape too but haven’t played with it yet. Great video.

About the transition: the Lark's head is the starting figure for Jug sling

Cool .

Excellent video Dave as always!!!! I have a question not related to this video. What ever happened to Steve Davis? I use to watch his channel - I hope he is doing well.

Quick Question what size bank line would you recommend for basic survival and bushcraft projects? Thank you !

Awesome video really good teacher. Is it true the double fishermans knot is a clove hitch, the grapevine is a triple fishermans without the X's?

No, those are different knots.

Excellent video. Been working on my knots, and learned about few new ones today. Thanks for the Demo.

Dave, it's not the length of the video that counts. Its how much of my empty space it takes up that matters.
