There is something really satisfying about watching a knot work. It reminds me of precision machines being filmed in slow motion. Simple, clean motion with clear effect. I love it.

Very well explained Dave, I'm glad you demonstrated to those that said that what you call a 'Crawley hitch' is just a 'tautline hitch'. As you showed it isn't, they are two separate knots with different properties. I am 55 years old and have learned several knots from you and am still learning - thanks Dave.

I love the idea of simple, versatile knots. If you do a part three, maybe it would be how you can tie the same knot different ways. Like with a clove hitch, if you can drop it over the top, you can make two loops, invert one over the other, and drop it around the post. When you tied the larks head, it occurred to me that you could tie it at least three different ways.

Excellent video! As you said, the 2nd one is the adjustable guy line hitch which is popular, especially in the UK, due to the fact that both Ray Mears and Paul Kirtley teach it to their students. I use both that and the taut line hitch. However, the Canterbury hitch (I don't care, that's what I'm calling it my journal!) is a better option due to it being a bit easier to tie and it's a faster release. I also like that loop around the tarp grommet, very easy to secure! As for the larks head with the stopper knot, that's an Ohio Jam Dave, remember! You did a video a long time ago and that's what you called it. Thanks for the video!

Great information Dave. We must be on the same wave length lately! I have been working on a cordage series on my channel as well. I agree 100% with what you said about discovering your own knots. It doesn't matter the name so much if it works (unless you're just a knot snob :)I have spent many hours over the last few months really trying to polish my cordage skills and build up my tool box of knots and hitches. I have taught myself several things only to find out later that they are already a named knot. It is amazing how much easier it is in camp when you know proper knots for the job. Looking forward to the next one..

Dave, I would love to hear your opinion of the zeppelin bend. It's a fantastic knot for joining two rope ends together and it's something you could use in place of a fisherman a knot or sheet bend. It would be awesome if you could do a video of you trying it out. Thanks for the awesome videos!

Hey Dave I was wondering if there was a place where people could send you ideas on products we create to further help the fellow man. I have an idea on a cheap way to put tie outs on tarps. You seem like a good person to get the ball rolling on developing new bullet proof products or can you make a video on how to get the job done with this subject for inventors. Thanks for all you do. You really are a great teacher!

Always awesome info Dave. Not sure how to contact you, so I'll give it a shot here.... I'd like to hear your thoughts on cook wear cleaning in the field. For example the following are some questions I am specifically curious about. Do you clean with water? Is untreated stream water ok for cleaning? Do you pack soap, or steel wool? Or scrub with sand or charcoal? How clean is clean enough? Thanks for considering this subject matter.

I didn't get that one with the tarp (couldn't see what you were doing, Dave). Also, I'd think you could use a double stopper knot (where you go around itself twice & through itself twice, like for sewing), that way it wouldn't all put through (probably depends on the diameter of that hole).

Hi Dave, I'm just starting out with self reliance. I was wondering if you could recommend an ax for me. I am female, 5'2", heavy set and middle aged. I would like an ax that I can use for chopping wood yet light enough to do small work. Also I've had carpal tunnel release surgery and my hands are weak. I plan on carrying this on the outside of my pack for overnight trips.

That tarp reminds me, do you know where I can purchase #5 or #5.5 grommets? I can only find them in batches of 5k or more for industry use, but I need like 10 and do not want to spend $100 or more on something I need 10 of.
