Im having my F1/2 exam next week and i have to say this video is a life saver.

[justincalvert]

Knots seem to be the hardest thing for me to remember in the academy this video is awesome. Thank you

[hawaiian_hero]

Thanks for doing the slow motion. No one else does this and it can be frustrating

[christosconstantas]

I've got my Cert 1 Exam in a week and I'm probably at 30% ready. Banging this out for the next two days straight. Thanks buddy.

Great video Brother, also what i learning in Fire 1-2 is to ALWAYS tie a simple knot at the end of every knot form to secure yourself as for a precaution it's a NFPA Training Technique mainly if you want to pass that coarse

[CarleighCramp-cy]

This helped me a lot, I have essentials coming up as a junior firefighter, thank you

[julitaserrano]

I SO needed this (especially the slow mos), thank you!!

[demolitionwilliams]

You did a really good job keeping everything clear and concise. Ropes and knots can be a confusing subject, but your instruction and your filming technique... On point. Thanks for the video. I'll be sharing this with my recruit class

[Fckbtchesgetmoney]

We just went over knots in my fire1&2 class and this was super helpful! I will say though, the bowline around the waist is a lot easier than the 2 ways you showed

[kenxiong]

That's a cop cop I'm impressed with that girl she has more balls then all the other man standing around not stepping in to what could have been a bad day for that cop for loosing his mind. Good for her she deserves respect.
