Thank you for not only showing the knots, but also giving a practical example of how the knot can be used in everyday life. Thanks again

I did tons of research a year ago on the most essential knots to learn. I ended up learning: sheet bend, full turn and two half hitches, bowline, tout line, clove hitch, square, figure 8, trucker's hitch. These jam knots were never mentioned. They are huge! to know. I am very blessed to find your videos.

Dave, compliments on two fronts. First, you are an excellent teacher. No small feat in itself. Clear, simple, well-illustrated. Second, you're very generous, as all good teachers are. You seem to delight in sharing your knowledge. A killer combination. You would have made a great instructor in military training (speaking as one who had the best at Ft. Benning). Keep up the great work!

I'm an old Boy Scout (and I mean old) and you just taught me something I've not seen before. Thank you sir!

Great knots my friend, but instead of an over hand knot in end of rope, I use a figure 8 knot so i can get knot loose afterwards. Just in case i need a clean rope for next use.

I hope you never go back to TV. You produced my favorite KZread videos and getting to watch new episodes daily is awesome. Your the best Dave. Thanks for your wisdom. I hole I can afford to go to your school one day

Dave I'd just like to say I'm a regular viewer of your videos and they're really informative and helpful. My friends and go camping when we can and will put your skills shown into action. Thank you Dave. Please do keep em coming mate. Michael in UK.

4th MP Co. Vet here. Thanks much Dave for your videos.

I use these knots all the time after having seen this video. Primarily the one to replace the bowline knot, since I forget constantly how to do it. Plus the Canadian Jam knot is one of my favorites. Great video Dave, and thank you for taking the time to teach all of us! Much Respect.

Thank you for all your hard work. I am praying for your career success.

These videos are so much better than anything on TV. I've almost completely given up TV for YT. I can see it happening world wide in the future.

Ty for sharing these helpful knots. :D 2:19 This knot is really good for clothing, ponchos , ridge lines and group stuff like wood, poles and pegs together .This is a knot I like to show people how to make. Its just so useful and ez to undo.

Didn't learn much from DS, but, I know it's safe to say all of us have learned many many things from your youtube videos.

Glad to hear that Dave, keep the good videos coming, I can watch these things for days I don't remember what I use to do on my breaks before.

great knots nice to see you back to basics dave

Thanks Dave.

The best as always! I have a use for a jam knot to bundle my buffalo robe for this weekend. Thanks, Dave!

Nice to see the old ways still finding there way into modern life....learnt these many many years ago and its always good to see people keeping old skills alive.

I already knew all the knots you showed, but now I know what their names are. Thanks.

Great video, three new knots I've not used before, I like their simplicity. Thanks for the video Dave.

Man, that Canadian Jam knot is great. Awesome lesson thanks for your time and research.

Mister David I watch all your videos I'm a person that likes Outdoors I'm disabled also like your fire videos and all your Camp setup videos I used to be a vault Boy Scout later and a 4-H shooting instructor I really enjoy being an outdoor God's creation keep up the good work.

these knots made my life so much easier, thanks a lot Dave!

Thank you Dave, you are awesome...

That was very well done, Dave. I also liked your recent version of the ridgeline. There was a lot of original thinking done there.

Very cool! Thanks Dave

Great Video Dave !!!

Thanks Dave, Never seen those knots before. The Canada jam will work a lot better than the truckers hitch for latching a bed roll to my pack. Thanks for showing us and making things so simple.

That second one is pretty sweet! Like a marlinspike hitch turned bowline, but interrupted with a stopper knot. Cool!

Awesome as usual!!! Can't wait till next years schedule comes out. Promised my nephew a trip to your basic class. God Bless

Much better and useful then a lot of other knot videos! Thanks!!

Excellent knot. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You're too big and I am very fan. Thank you very much. A greeting

Thanks Dave great teaching

Thanks for the reply Sir! I just wana say when I started watching Dual survival season 1 and 2, I was immediately hooked by the show! One of the reason was you alone! Your were different and very knowledgeable and ofcouse a natural entertainer. I like the way how you engage with the audience and how real you are. As a long time fan , I really hope you can consider someday coming back to Tv. I am Christian and aspiring student film maker and I would love it if we can work on something

Thank you for explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. Keep up the great videos. Thank you.

awesome and helpful knots for camping! Thanks for sharing this man.

Thanks Dave. Great video, very helpful!

Thanks Dave great video, Very handy knots

that last knot is interesting, never seen anyone do it that way for longlines or trotlines, I've seen a clove hitch with the stopper knot on the tag to stop it from pulling through, always worked and made repairing the longline very simple.

awesome easy and simple man kinda knots, Thanks for another great educational video brother.

Very concise step by step easy to follow instructions. The way it should be. The less you have to remember the easier it will be to remember. Thank you.

I have watched all your knot vids and have learned a lot. Thank You

I will definitely make use of these knots in the near future. Thanks for sharing another great piece of information!

Awesome video! Knots everyone needs to know. Thanks for sharing

Awesome I'm just used to a clove hitch half hitch and a bollen but these are great. Thanks Dave another good vid!

Great video...simple, elementary knots yet extremely effective with various applications.

Damn Dave! Those knots are great! I learn so much watching your vidoes. Thanks so much.

Good stuff Dave added to my knot playlist

Great knots. Always learn something from your vids....

that was amazing.you never know when it may be needed but it could save the day.

Hi Dave, Great demo showing good useful knots. Thanks, learn a lot of interesting stuff; enjoyed watching.

Great video! I think you would love the Siberian hitch too, its really nice for Tarp/hammock setup.

Great video! Thanks 👍👍

That second knot is called the Honda knot, at least according to the SAS survival handbook. Thanks for the lessons!

Just added these three to my collection...... thanks :)

Thanks for the lesson very useful love your stuff

great vid as always keep them comin dave

For all its uses, a canadian jam knot works great to hold a trash bag around the rim of a trash bin so it doesn't fall in. It's especially useful for 55 gallon bins.

Great and simple. Simply great !

Excellent video.. Thank you..

Awesome to learn this. Thank you so much!

LOVE YOUR VIDS DAVID WONDERFUL WORK

THANKS, RON

Great demonstration showing good useful knots. Thanks, enjoyed watching.

Cheers Mate!

Loved this video! Keep up the good work!

Loved this thank you so much!

Great information, brother.

Thank you sir...............I subscribed glad i found your channel

I actually wasn't to familiar with this. Close variants though. I've got a few knots to show ya, work great with a ridge line. One quick release and one improved prusik. Glad to see the knot vids. As I have learned from teaching at the gathering, people don't really have this skill, and they need it, it so useful

I like this series

Keep setting the bar my man!! lol Nice knots for sure

3 good knots. Thanks

I could never get the hang of the knots in /Boy Scouts, thanks for making it more simple.

OUTSTANDING knot tutorial !!! Thanks !!!!

Dave, you did again....I learned new stuff....GREAT JOB DONE BRO´ !!! Regards from Germany, Marcus

another great helpful video thank you mate

That third one looks like a cow hitch with a stopper knot. Looks slick.

So helpful. Thanks!

Love your vids as always Dave, but this helps with stuff I have to learn for Scouts.

Thanks for this.

Thank you very much.

I havent watched tv in months honestly. but im on youtube every day

Great teaching

good practical information!

Great vid, thank you Sir.

Thanks Dave. I'll try that next time I build a lean-to.

Thats it.. Good bye bowline haha These are so simple yet so effective... Cheers! keep up the good work!

Thank you, good video

The way I learned was to tie the second overhand over the Bight after you set the "stopper" knot you should show the way you can ratchet that down with a second in line loop for minimal use of Cordage for permanent structures, and explain the down side where you will have to cut the cord because it welds itself and the History which is also is Credit to the people that brought this Jam to the Outdoor world...

Thanks!

I've used a taut line hitch on a blanket roll. I believe I'm liking this better.

that answer is one of the greatest ive ever heard.

I love knots.

I like to use the Canadian jam knot as the first knot when trussing meat. It works great. Every loop around the meat from that point on is made is made by twisting a bight and slipping that bight over the already trussed end. That bight self-locks and sets up the next loop. You can truss a whole roast in about a minute using this technique.

Never mind, for some reason it didn't look like paracord at the start of the video.Great video Dave.

as all ways thanks Dav
