I just showed my son how to do this and now he's learning a new way haha love your videos Dave! 3 of my friends purchased Bushcraft 101 because I let them borrow mine, I started watching your videos shortly after my grandfather passed away. He was my original wealth of knowledge.

Runs a school, a couple of shops, authors books (plural), R&D's own gear, employs other instructors and he STILL can bust out several videos a week without complaining! #PlatinumManCard

Good stuff sir! I’ve been watching you videos for probably as long as you’ve been on KZread. The wealth of information that you share in itself is amazing, but what appreciate most about you Dave is your constant willingness to learn, evolve and share with the rest of us what you’ve learned or implemented. That’s speaks volumes to me. There are untold numbers of “experts” that offer one solution or one way of doing things and that’s it. That’s the one way to do it. I’ve watched you for at least a decade and it truly impresses me how open you are to new ideas and ways of doing things. I look forward to one day being able to attend a gathering.

Wow, that's an improvement on a major hassle ! Thanks Dave !

Thank you for this great hanking tip and demonstration, Mr. Canterbury! I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to offer excellent tips and content videos. Your videos are a great supplement to your bushcraft books. All the Best!

I learned the 6' hank from a gentlemen who I believe learned it from Dave Canterbury. I've carried 2-3 daily since then and found them incredibly useful. Over time, I made a few adjustments. A bit over a year ago, I integrated the toggle after watching Felix Immler's vid. As I carried them in my uniform cargo pocket, I found the bowline would come lose so after a lot of trials, I settled on the Scott's Locking bowline which is easy to untie but doesn't shake lose as I walk. The other change is in line with this video. I noticed I would get the same unwanted, overhand knot as I deployed the hank. Now, I'm not sure why this worked, but when I started placing the tag end under two (2) coils instead of one (1), the problem mostly stopped. Once in a blue moon it'll form a knot but it's been rare. Hope this helps.

It’s crazy how far simple cordage and knot systems end up going! Good innovation. Thx

Now that's pretty cool Dave. I was looking up on your wall at some of those Buck saws and I noticed the one that was made from ax handles and that was very cool. Thanks Dave you always come up with some of the coolest stuff that helps to save time. I wrote this before I finish the rest of your video and now I have to say congratulations, 10 years wow, doesn't time fly when you're having fun

That's a cool idea! I always just made that half hitch at the end a slippery hh, but pulled it almost all the way through so that it was nestled between the last wrap and the 2nd to last wrap. Worked like a charm--everything stays in place and no knot at the end. Still, I'm eager to give this method a try; it might be faster :D

I've learned so much from you for absolutely free over the last 10 years, the least I can do is buy a hard copy of your book

Thank you Mr Canterbury, always new great tips.

Outstanding! Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

I love the quick lessons like this.

Many thanks...I never posted over the years of knowledge learned from you...thank you.

Great video, always look forward to seeing something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Fantastic! Really appreciate your time and these excellent practical tips.

Hello From Mexico. There is an easier way to finish without the extra knot. If the tail comes out on the opposite side of where you are going to pull, and you wind up where you are going to pull, the extra knot will not be tied. Try it. I really enjoy your videos. Greetings.

Awesome improvement Dave! Saves time and a headache!!

Way to go Dave! Keep the ideas coming.

Very good! Very USEFUL! thanks for sharing!

Instead of a half hitch, I finish my wrap with a clove hitch and it stays compact and does not create a knot when you pull it out. Thanks for the vid. You’re a blessing to us, too!

Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary of Bushcraft 101! Thank you for another great video!

I like your how to make a stop knot not to appear . Thanx Dave

Congratulations! You deserve it!

Looking good I watch every video that I can thank you Dave

Thank you Dave!! Thank you for all your knowledge of skills and gear that you give back to the KZread community!! I’ve been a subscriber for years I think 2009. Supporting you and the self reliance outfitters and pathfinder school is an honor! All the videos and tricks and tips over the years by you is priceless to me and I’m sure to a lot of people. Thank you again !!! Happy anniversary you deserve it! 🍺

I'll hank longer ropes, but anything 6' and under, I won't. I hang a carabiner from a ridge line or branch and clip all the bowlines on there. Then I hold the carabiner and cross the whole bundle over pinky and thumb until it's completely taken up. Then I stuff it all into its pocket before removing my fingers. The carabiner is on the top and the zig zags mean it won't tangle. I have a separate carabiner for 1' and under, same setup though. Easy, tidy and fast

Great ideas. I experimented with finishing the wound tie off with a Clove Hitch.. I tried multiple times, and each time the cordage unwound tangle free with no additional stopper knot added. This probably is already common knowledge, but I just thought I'd share.

i just bought your 4 bushcraft boxset a few months ago, read 101 years ago, great selection, thanks!

Very slick and worthy of this kind of video. Nice.

Thanks for teaching and sharing all your wisdom Dave! I found another way to prevent this knot in the end. Instead of using a normal half hitch to finish of as you normally would, you just pass a bite through this half hitch instead of the end of the cord and this would result a knot-free line when you pull the loop side

Awesome tip! I have a autograph copy from your Indy store! Congrats on such a successful book. Love your videos, love your approach and delivery on all the topics you cover. Thanks Dave!

Great job! Thanks, Dave!

love your videos

That was so cool! Thanks brother!

@DavidCanterbury love your content! I've been watching you stuff before Dual Survival. Blew my mind when I recognized you.

Love these short videos.

Thanks for the tip, and congratulations for the number one book for a decade!! Wow

I appreciate the short form videos like this, quick tips can make a big difference and these shorter videos are great for during a lunch break. My one concern with this method is that I don’t like having all that excess on the end, especially for the hanks in my pocket. I’ll generally even pull down my bowline towards the wraps so it’s more in line with the other loops. I’ve also always used a clove hitch rather than a half hitch, not sure if that would be easier or harder to undo when pulling the cordage through but I can’t say I’ve ever had an extra knot as I was using it

That is a great improvement

Excellent video Dave, that is a great way to store cordage. I have Bushcraft 101 and your Bushcraft First-aid books, both excellent reading. Cheers 🇨🇦

Congrats on the success of the Book... And school and stuff too.

i reacted to this like some people react to magic tricks. thanks dude.

Thanks Dave, always a pleasure.

Quick lesson. Thank you.

Thanks to you for all the information you share. 101 is a gem 🙂 by the way

Love your videos Dave and all the excellent advice you give, I appreciate your creative mind in always trying to come up with new ways of doing things, I learn more from you playing around with stuff, there's just something about 'tinkering' that gets the creativity flowing and makes the whole process enjoyable. Try wrapping your hank from the opposite end from where you normally begin wrapping, that's all I did and I stopped getting that extra 'knot' when releasing my hank. I'm also left handed, so there might be some other feature about how I wrap my hank that isn't obvious and may be the real reason as to why this works for me, but that's literally all I started doing with my hanks after noticing this issue one day when I wrapped it wrong and couldn't figure out why the knot stopped appearing. Once I figured out why, I haven't had a knot appear after releasing since. It's literally the same hank you've always made before, the same way everyone does it, no tightening down on the end or playing with extra loops, and most importantly no extra knots. Hope this helps someone, I don't know why this works for me, but it does. TLDR: Wrap your hank like you always do, but when you begin to wrap around the hank you've created with the loops to lock it down, simply start wrapping from the opposite end you're use to wrapping from if you usually get a knot and that final new knot should stop appearing, it did for me, and I've been doing my hanks like this for about two years now without a single knot since, no one would ever visually notice a difference between my hanks and the hanks everyone else does, you use them exactly the same way, but there's no new knot at the end, no idea what the science behind this is or why it works, it just does. TIP: One point that might be worth mentioning, is that by doing it this way, the loops wants to unravel itself naturally, after you do it a few times, you'll probably see what I mean, so when I do my first wrap around the hank, I continue the second wrap over the loop I just made on the first loop and pull on it tight (so they cross each other) and then continue wrapping around the hank in the normal direction, this 'locks' the start of the wrap down on the hank. If you do it right, everything I'm saying should make sense, sorry I've never been really good at explaining things, but I promise this works and your hanks are virtually no different from before, except without the extra knot at the end when you unravel it. TIE KNOTS LIKE A LEFTY! If you're having a hard time figuring out how knots work, I'm talking about the 'magic' that is knots, start doing them reversed, as if you were left handed and you'll get a whole new understanding of knots and begin to truly understand them inside and out. Seriously, give it a try, it's frustrating, but you learn really hard to notice points about creating knots and can then really play with them, give it a try if you haven't already - All you lefties know what I mean already. All the knot videos are made by right handed people (pretty much) and it takes someone who is left handed much longer to figure out the knot, but when they do, they truly understand that knot, it's not just mimicking and using muscle memory, you really do learn the ins and outs of that knot, you have no choice, you end up feeling like a 'knot engineer', it's probably how the people who made these knots felt, they truly understood what they were doing. I'm guessing you get this kind of understanding with time and experience as well, but as a lefty trying to learn in a right-handed world, you're forced to become that engineer on every knot right from the word 'go'.

Great video sir! It got you a new subscriber!

I like it thanks Dave

Sir... You're the BOSS! Thanks a lot. Greetings from France ^_^

I have the hard copy of your bushcraft 101. Very informative and there are a few things i actually didn't know

Great video

Thanks Dave

Love it!

Nice and simple

I’ve been starting my hanks with the tag ends of doubled over cordage, bundle it with same figure 8 and wrap, pull the finishing loop through the bundle of loops and attach carabiner to that individual loop. I haven’t tried with a quick deploy ridge line but it seems to do well for keeping my cordage neat

Awesome. Thank you

Nice tip!

Neat tip! 👍🏽

Got it in Germany on Germ and it is sick Love youre book 😊

Excellent, I’ve been doing something similar for the last few years. My string bag is still a mess! 😂

Thank you!

Thanks again

Very cool. And neat. I hate tangled gear

Good Tip

Thank you! I thought I was doing something wrong causing that extra knot.

Gave this a try and it's interesting but I still prefer the butterfly hank method although the loops for hanging are a nice option.

Thanks

The way I do it, I put a BITE under the half hitch, with my tail still down towards the bottom end, and that (so far) works well for me.

This idea is nice BUT you cannot release only part of the keeping the rest of the line nicely packed as with the old half hitch method. My idea to enjoy both advantages : instead of a regular half hitch use a quick release half hitch, tucking a bite under the last turn instead of the end of the line!

Great information Dave. I love that toggle tension system too. My family and I met you and your crew at SMKW a couple years ago and had a blast. Thanks for all you do.

Hopefully this technique will prevent the hank from coming undone in my pocket. i tried half hitch, clove hitch and a couple of other things trying to keep the hank intact but all the movement and friction in the pocket would untie whatever knot I had on the hank. Thanks, Dave.

smoothin it.

You can also just tie a constrictor knot with the end going towards the starting end.

I just do a slippery half hitch on the end of the coil on my hanks. Comes right out when I'm ready to deploy.

Interesting method but still requires an extra step. The way to alleviate the extra knot is to use a clove hitch instead of a half hitch and the coils coming out won’t make a space. When you get to the end just wrap an x around the hank and push the stopper knot through it and tighten. A way to make sure it’s not too tight to pass the end through is to save enough at the end to wrap the X around both the hank and your finger, then slip your finger out, insert and tighten down

How is one extra over the other and how in the world is a clove hitch easier than this especially in gloves or at night

👍👍

Классно😊 Короткие видео это хорошо.

Why didn't you link to your own video? I don't mind looking for it, but that was just lost revenue for you.. This is a pretty slick idea Dave. Implementing this tonight.

Why not just undo the half-hitch?

Sorry, sir... have to disagree with you on this one. That larger loop hanging out at the end is a show-stopper for me, especially for my utility cord I carry in my pocket. Plus I never EVER have a problem with a knot at the end like you demonstrate, because at the end instead of passing the tail through the last loop coming out towards the end of the hank, I pass the tail through so it's coming back towards the beginning. Just change that direction of how you pass the tail through when securing the end and the knot goes away. Okay, technically not a correct half-hitch as a result but it works just as well for me and no knots when pulling it out. Much better than having that extra large loop to fuss with. Learned this one from my father (E-6, 1st Marine Division, Korea 1951-1953). 73 de BJ, KM4RB

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I've always hanked my cordage in this basic manner, but I don't have a stop knot in the end, usually. The reason I don't have the stop knot is because I stick the end of the rope all the way through before I cinch one of the coils down on it and if I tried to pull it out at that point the knot would hang up. It never occurred to me to make a bite and then stick that through the coils, so, great tip! I also try to form my final loop shorter than the others so that when I cinch it down it doesn't hang out too far beyond the other coils. More for looks than practicality.

You're truly my hero ☺️ You handsome sugar bear 🧸 you!!! Excellent video sweetie 😘💋💋💋!!! I always learn fathoms from your videos!!! Thank you so much Mr Canterbury!!!💜💜💜💜💜
