No other channel practice is not the way you do it, this is why you have so many subscribers, you actually teach, and you are an excellent teacher !!!

From a grown up Eagle Scout and a retired firefighter who's been on many a rescue in his career, I have to thank you for a most well done video on one of the most versatile and important knots there is. Well done! I am now a subscriber.

After studying survival and preparedness for the last 15 years I needed a break, so i took the last year off of shooting, camping, bush craft ect.... I took my son out on a camping trip 2 weeks ago and I had FORGOTTEN so many knots!!! I was literally fumbling with my ridge line for my tarp... Your videos have really helped jog my memory in the last few weeks and I can't thank you enough Corporal!!!

From all the videos I have seen, and plenty of people who have tried to show me how to tie a bowline this video finally helped me tie the bowline and running bowline.

I really appreciate your sharing how to practically apply these knots. So important when seeing it from the practical perspective (rather than a table top). I've spent many an hour relearning a knot based on the practical application, and how one is looking at the line. Thank you for this and your other videos.

Always like going back through the older videos to brush up on knot skills. Excellent demonstration of the bowlines! Appreciate you brother!

[wakayama]

clear, concise, effective. This man is evidently a top-notch instructor! I've seen a bunch of knot videos (and thus youtube keeps throwing me more!) but this is the clearest yet. Thank you, and greetings from Sweden!

[DouglasTuret]

Thank you, Corporal Kelly, for the single finest Bowline Knot video I have ever seen! Your decision to use I/O 1/4” rope instead of bank line or paracord made all the difference in the world for me!

[psmithrpm]

Damn! Now that's a friggin tutorial! Thank you so much for such an awesome manual. My hat is off to you, sir.

[lucyocean]

I really don't know how to thank you Shawn, for everything you've done to let us enjoy the great outdoors even more. Cheers and cheers and cheers!

A great review on not only how to tie a bowline, but how to apply it in a well demonstrated, clear and simple terms. You can never practice enough knots.

[elmarmaurer]

I have seen hundreds of guys, explaining bowlines in various situation but... hands down... you are by far the Best One. Thank you for your clear instructions and ways to do it

[ahorsemanever]

Best demonstration of the bowline I have ever seen and I have been a ropes and knots kind of guy with 25 years in the fire service. A definite share video. Thank you

[lpark]

Better than any diagram could show. Thanks for making this so clear. Tying a bowline and hanking your cordage are fundamental. Your videos get the job done - first time, every time 😎

[groussac]

Thanks Corporals Corner. With sweat rolling down my face, tomato leaves blocking my view, insects crawling on my arms, and working with twine that splays as soon as I cut it, the Bowline is my go-to knot for trellising plants. It's easy to remember, easy to tie, easy on the plants, and easy to undo if I need to adjust things. This isn't on a par with setting up camp or doing a rescue, but if survival skills means incorporating rope craft into daily living, then it counts. My guess is you're reaching a far broader audience than the campers that you're addressing.

[shawnangie]

Tying a bowline around one's self with one arm is something that never occurred to me. Thanks for the heads up!

[williamstallings]

just like that! you make more sense than anyone else on youtube! thank you sir for your service. you are a great teacher. hey, just like that! awesome!

[pappysproductions]

I almost didn't watch this because of the length of the video. Most bowline videos are about 2-1/2 min. SO GLAD I WATCHED THIS!!!
So many great lessons. I must've made about 10 screen recordings so I go practice all this stuff.
Great video my man. I love that you shoot outdoors. Thanks for serving! My boy is also an awesome Marine

[robertlundquist]

Thank you for another good video and correcting the phrase “Practice makes perfect.” I teach my students ( public school teacher) that practice improves.
