Moving Objects with Simple Machines Part 1

Looking at option for moving weight

Can't believe I found your channel back around 2012 as a dumb 15 year old with no idea about bushcraft. Kept watching over a decade now. I really like the way you've changed over the years, I think your own mentality has improved, and I like to think seeing that has helped me to improve myself.

[jasongarling]

Mr Canterbury, your collection of videos over the years is amazing! I've seen most! Revisiting the older stuff definitely has its advantages! Ridgeline for example. I've also watched decades of You, Blackie, etc. Great to see you Revisiting some older stuff not done in a while!

Rock climbers also taught me to always ALWAYS KEEP YOUR ROPE CLEAN. Never put your rope or cordage on the ground. It makes your rope degrade much faster, as dust is an abrasive. Many dont think about this, but dust has microscopic edges that cut your cordage. Look it up!

Hope this helps someone :)

Love and peace :)

[sherriestes-erwin]

Thank you so much. I'm keeping this one for a while to practice. I hope your family knows just how blessed they are to have someone like you around. Stay safe and best wishes.

[aaronrhoades]

I appreciate you doing these type of videos! I work and do not have time to take a class
And no one and my friends groups know this information either. Your videos are the only way I have of learning.
So I support you the only way I can I buy your products I love my bush pots and French press..

I hope you keep these types of series of videos going.

Just found your channel. I grew up with Lincoln logs, the old style erector sets and toys like that. I think having toys like these help me learn skills that most younger people can’t comprehend. These skills are not appreciated as much as they should be. Good luck to all of them if anything happens to the grid. Oh yeah we would pull a motor out of one truck and put it in another on a weekend back in the day. With a tree limb and homemade pulley system. Good skill to have. Really like your channel.

Great overview. I used the windlass (first one you showed) once to bring together members in a timber frame. Worked about as well as a ratchet strap. I used a retired static climbing rope and went a couple times around the timbers first to minimize stretch.

[arnoldolorenzo]

You’re a very talented teacher, naturally gifted. Thanks for the amazing information. I’m subscribing.

[Alloran]

Love it. The second windlasses are a good way to have easily adjustable heavy water pot situations on a tripod over a campfire if you were needing a big ol cast iron cook pot for stewing or for bush laundry, cause swamp ass is not bueno in the woods. Nice part about that pulley system is that it scales with the number of pulleys. If you want a mechanical advantage of two (half the weight) you need one travel pulley and one anchor pulley, if you want a mechanical advantage of three (a third the weight) just put another travel pulley on it, just like the big block and tackle rigs. Be warned though, every time you add a pulley you multiply the amount of cordage you need to run through it and you better be certain about the structure you're anchoring onto.

I love the practical technic. This is a old method but never gets old.

[DanielBelliveau-yx]

Your video content provides valuable information for actual real world applications from your useful instruction and thank you for this service.

[jessemills]

I'm OLD!
So this is a good refresher!

[danhaywood]

In depth practical advice for actual proper application and use and consideration for the preservation of the cord tool. Very powerful. I know all too well how powerful marlinespike mastery can be. Like a super power. Just a 2 meter hank of 3/16" twisted nylon, or the big #96 tarred twisted nylon in my left pocket, has gained me half a day out sailing with a full days pay for half a days hours worked, and it did the same for my three nearly useless co workers. I Always got my hank and several knifes and lately I EDC my Ned Foss multifunctional Camp Hatchet, which I like to throw and carve with. I got two of Dave's books on Bushcraft. Rarely miss a day in forest with my dog for two to five hours. Forage, stick fight practice, cane fight practice, practice multi wielding all, including knifes and tomahawks. Play my harmonicas, carve, and whistle my dog to come howl along. I used to survive or die insane shit by my skills with rope and cord. I still use cord everyday. Used to sleep on a thousand feet of ropes. Used to stand on a footrope below a yardarm to furl unfurl square sails aloft. I do most things solo though, including sailing the ocean 12 days alone through remote wilderness by canoe and such. Now Im getting evicted for some reason got nothing to do with me, but accusations being made. Im sad to lose this forest use for my dog and I. Probably got enough time to finish getting my 31 year old Dodge Maxi Wagon Van ready to live in. Real excited about it, so I can escape the crap, dump the VA and HUD along with the evil landlord company right outta my life. Fuckers probably go unemployed, now Im escaping. 😂 Doggie and I gonna have central diesel heatung and on demand propane hot water and got a new bed and mattress and fans and 55L 12V fridge dual zone and or freezer. Gonna have a hot tub and woodstove I can pullout besides the mountain creeks and rivers Ill be squatting on. Got a composting piss diverting toilet made from 7 gallon bucket and a Lovable Loo lid. I divert my piss under the vehicle to behind the left rear wheel area. I got bucket modded for pissing in diverter either sitting while shitting, or sitting on edge of bed from out side the bucket. No piss jars for me ever. Gonna have at least 400 watts solar on top providing shade along with my canoes. Gonna run gravity water filters in parallel to just take water from creeks or rivers or rain, using my pull out tub and a tarp. This building isn't safe to live in anymore anyway. I always knew someday we'd lose use of this forest. Wish Id done more to learn more. Glad I did what I did though, and thankful for it, just like Im thankful for my doggie I saved off a busy avenue as a puppy before dawn six years ago. She's going to be very sad about leaving the forest. There's plants I been documenting for years.
I promised her we'd get our own forest and homestead and we wont be renting again this side of hell.

Hi Dave! This is next level stuff! I'm a big fan of your books and videos and wanted to say THANKS for all the knowledge. I'll be backtracking to the rope clinic vids. Would love to vacation to the pathfinder school in the near future. God bless!

[raktoda]

I love it.Old timers knew best.Thank you can be used to demonstrate principals of physics....home school
and also in camp

[alanadale]

well, a ton of essential know!edge poured out fast. Had to watch twice.
Never thought of soft shackle used on limb slice with groove to be homme made pulley . thank you for your work and lesson

[jonathandorr]

I’m 68, and in 6 th grade discovered, ramps, levers, and wheels, which I thought my family was trying to hide from me. I now work for the film industry, the prof. stagehand industry, log, trees, grow the herb, and am completely independent.💥

[richardjensen]

nice! this gives me ideas on improving my flip-flop winch.

[feraltweed]

Dave. This vid was great. I needed a refresher on this subject and you delivered. I’d like to see you do something similar with levers. I’m of the less is best school. Thanks

[DFASniper]

Nice practical examples. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
