Precisely why I always watch Blackie for his tried & true woodcraft tips. I've been in a sleeping bag a 1/3 of my life, & thought I had it all together camping/survival/ sustainability. Blackie always puts me back into realities..I have so much to learn..thanks Blackie..
I think that I am gonna have to watch this video a couple of more times (actually several) to get those quick and “easy” knots. Always had trouble remembering all those knots learned in training and their applications. I can tie them, just have to think about it. Thanks for these five “easy” secret tips! - Tennessee Smoky
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got - Do not eat where you sleep. Don't cook where you plan to set up and sleep.
Yes blackie, I'd like to see a refresher on how to keep cordage organized!
Not only would i like the refresher,i would love to see you prep a haversack loadout from absolute scratch.
Just want to say for us out West - first thing out is the Bear Canister and it suspension cord.
Lot of places it's mandatory to have the annoying bear can.
Appalachian Trail Conservancy has a nice video on how to PCT Food Hanging Method
Them bears are smart these days.
The BV 450 & 500 are easy to hang
Wise words. You learn something from everyone! The new generation wouldn’t be so hyper sensitive if they subscribed to that. Learning from someone does not have to mean that you agree. Be enough of an adult to handle differences.
These stories you tell are awesome. As a younger guy I love talking to silver wolves about stuff like this. Thanks
You have the gift to teach, to explain things in a manner that anyone can understand. Looking forward to your next video.
I ENJOYED IMMENSELY AND HAVE BECOME A BELIEVER...I ALWAYS LIKE CORDAGE VIDS...
After 40 years of being an electriciman ,i used to say if I ever fell out of an airplane ,I want an extension cord in my hand, because it will hang on something before I hit he ground!
that's the ONE TIME when this won't work reliably ;-)
@@couchcamperTM Murphy's Law right?
i worked in a company doing weather radar fabrication a extension cord caused more grief than anything else on the floor
Good greaf man you have forgotten more then I will ever know . Your a true out doors man wow
Well done Blackie!
As we get older and more experienced, it is our turn to be mentors to the next generation!
Just found 4mm inside diameter aluminum beads on Etsy that will accept 2pieces of 550.
Great stuff
Thanks Blackie!
I used a small zip tie. Leaving just enough slack to slide up to, away from the knot.
Five fantastic secrets!
Hey Blackie...they ain't secrets anymore! Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I just came across this guy by accident... what a gem in the rough!
Great tips Blackie. Thank you. 😁👍
Blackie, this video was outstanding! First of all, the paracord donut was amazing, and secondly, the improved quick deploy ridge line is ingenious. Also, your adjustable multi-function lanyard idea was slicker than snot on a door knob! I'm always trying to figure out how to hang my pack on a tree, and you've solved that one with the adjustable lanyard. You are the Beast of Bushcraft! Very well done.
The first time I ever watched a blacky video it was how to mod a k-bar. But I wasn't sold on his advice. It took me a few months of watching to realize what he was trying to teach. I have come to learn from this man and respect this man he knows his shit and anyone would be lucky to learn under him . Much love Much respect and good wishes to you blacky! Keep on keepin on old fella
Love those soft shackles!
I can’t get over that adjustable guy line. That’s one of those duh things where you wonder why you haven’t used that all along. Great video.
for that soft shackle, instead of using the rubber piece, you can tie a slip knot on the opposite end of the loop from the knot. Open up the slip knot and pass the knot through and then cinch it down.
Awesome review and explanation. The complete Bushcraft reviews their is always something different to share and to share is knowledge and one should never deny himself an education. Especially if it one day it may become to having to use something in an emergency or survival situation. Using cordage alone is invaluable to know for everyday purposes. Even if it's just to latch a board from a supply store to you vehicle. Love the review as always and keep up the excellent Bushcraft lessons.
👍Great tips. Looks like I'm gonna learn to make donuts now.
Blackie thank you for your videos , I'm always learning how to do things that make it easier
Black or, this is the first video of yours that I have watched...and I am very impressed with you already! The Soft Hackle idea is GENIUS! Will be making some of those tomorrow.
When you showed number 5, I started to laugh! Here's why. I used to be a Civil War Reenactor with an Artillery unit based in Ohio. Did it for over ten years. For our tent flies, we would use wooden adjustable tensioners that we made. Last year, I had made my first quick deploy ridge line with two Prussic loops for my tarp. I liked the idea of having the guide lines already attached to the tarp corners and having the stakes attached as well. Not wanting to take the time to make four wooden adjustable tensioners, I got the idea to do what you did. Tied on a Prussic loop on each guide line, then drilled a hole through a wooden stake near the top. Passed the lone through the stake, then tied it to the Prussic loop, giving me a complete system ready to deploy. If I broke a stake, no big deal, I could just make another one. It works great! I have already watched ten more of your videos tonight. Keep up the good work!!! (Sorry about being long winded...just like to be thorough. 😁)
Thanks for passing on the knowledge.
Any time!
Refresher please...although I can go back and find it easy enough...thanks brother! God bless 🙏🇺🇸🦅
So glad i caught Canterbury shout out and hunted your channel
Nice Blackie, great tips. Saves a lot of work and time. Thanks and take care.
Your soft shackle just made my shotgun deer hunt so much more comfortable. I needed to attach a sling to my mag tube. The included attachments didn't work. Soft shackle worked to perfection while being silent. I used 2 zip ties.Thanks once again Blackie.
Thank you much for trick 4, never would have thought of it, wow 😲
Sir you have a doctorate degree in common sense!! Really enjoying your Channel!!
You finger crochet a cord donut 🍩! I get it now!
Those sound very useful! I will definitely practice those.
I make and use the soft shackles for holding cords together. phone chargers ect
Blackie, Thanks for the good tips ,,,, keep'em coming!!!!
Thanks, will do!
when i see you in the car i remember the time i find you. the first video. it was "how to stay cool". 25 jan 2015. since then i have see almost every video you have before and every video you make after. thank you and keep strong.
In a word: Brilliant
Nice tips, cheers Peter
Another instructive video
Some good stuff there, thanks Blackie.
I've used soft shackles for years for recovery never would have even thought of making a small Para version.. just awesome idea!
That bowline prussic is absolutely ingenious. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts, ideas and experience with us Blackie.
Please do an additional video on various uses of soft shackles.
ok will do
Ok, #5 is genius! I'm going to make some of those.
I love this channel thank you for sharing your wisdom

Another great story. Grouch was a true woodsman.
#5 got my goat! Awesome job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi blacked I’m from Massachusetts and I’m 49 years old and as a kid growing up I was always playing in the woods I’m a self learn on camping and hiking and I was always interested in bushcraft and I learned the 5 things that I carried on my own I always love the outdoors from being a kid to now I learned things that work for me i keep it simple stupid I as a 49 year old man I find it in my life that I’m still a kid in the woods thxs for the great video ps I’m always learning and improving my kit
Great video. This needs to be kept on the web forever.
Great video. So many uses for cordage tips
Glad you think so!
Mr. Blackie, great tips. Try saying Caribbean, not Kabeaner. Locking Carabiner. I made some citris knives from Dan Lutz design. I just made the end look like a Kukri. Ever heard of Hojo Jitsu. lots of knots. Later
Great Tips. From watching your other videos I guessed what three of them were going to be. Thanks, keep up the great training videos.
Love #4 and #5.
Plain and Simple, that's my motto.
Synchronicity was a pretty good Police album too.
Great tips!
You always teach and amaze me. Thanks again.
I've learned so many useful things from you I use every day.
Great tips! I love these awesome videos!
Glad you like them!
You are a wise man, and a good teacher.
Thank you for all your good videos.
👏👏👏👍
Blackie soft schakels waren over al toen ik net kwam kijken metalen waren voor boeren te duur en voor kleine zeilboten te zwaar . ze zagen er een beetje anders uit.
maar de functie was het zelfde !! 👍
U should put 2 prusik on the ridgeline then u cold just loop it around the tree one on one side and the other on the other side of the tree and just stick a toggle in them then adjust tension
good ideas
Soft shackle. I use a small about 3/8” piece of aluminum. Old back packing tent poles are ideal to take a tubing cutter to for this. Those same pole sections are ideal to blow and direct the air to aid in starting a fire.
Yes, please. A refresher! And the ridgeline tutorial.
Thanks very much for sharing those woodsmans secrets. Those are awesome!👍
I use a zip tie on my soft shackles for the slide.
Great tips! For my paracord I use a small bag with a draw string. I cut the cord into 8-10 foot lengths and just stuff them into the bag one at a time.
Great information Blackie thank for teaching us!
Yes I would like the refresher for the doughnut
Great stuff Blackie! Subbed.
Well started about Being smooth in the woods. What is the tarp you are currently using? I have been trying to find one locally light weight with loops or renforced tape with little success
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Another set of valuable tips, thanks,and keep them coming.
Great tips Blackie ! Thanks for sharing !
Your #5 is a really nice application of an adjustable loop knot and a loop knot.
The combination of a prussik knot and a bowline knot is a little bit overcomplicated. There's already a knot doing the same and with the advantage, that it's quite easy to untie.
The knot is called the tent-line or taut-line hitch (german: Topsegelschotstek): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taut-line_hitch and it's used for adjusting the sheet rope on a sailing boat.
Great multi-use info! Thanks Blackie
Wow! So much gold-info in 1 video!
You are the man!😅
Yep. 5 great ideas, the only one I'm not going to use is the prusik knot for the trucker's hitch. I kind of rely on the loop that the hitch leaves to anchor my rig line through 😅
Good stuff Blackie! Looking forward to the next ones 🤠
All great stuff. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Genius Ideas Blackie but I have to ask right around the 14:25 mark there is something that goes across the screen...What Is It? The other question is did your mentor ever tell you his secret on finding that spot he always finds?
I would love to see a video on how to do that last knot. The hybrid prussick/bowline cord.
Great tips, thanks for sharing , God bless !
Great tips to store in the memory bank.
The soft shackles are a game changer! What was the cinching item you chose? It didn't look like a bead. Thanks!
for the ones i nthe video i used black rubber bands..i will be up grading to hard plastic beads soon
In which video do you show how to tie the Prussik knot from the bowline on the same cord (item #5 on this video). Great idea BTW! Can't wait to try it.
i will be redoing most of my cord videos into a big one to have all the info under one roof so to speak i will be posting it soon
Two thumbs up!
That’s some awesome tips I’m excited to try my friend TY
Fantastic video
Pure Gold
We go to the woods to smooth it not rough it
Brother, I sure hope all this is going into the book! 😄
You and me both!
Please do a refresher video of the paranoid donut
