You should start selling mugs with a knot instruction on it and your picture on it pointing and saying ‘Here is how we tie it!’, haha!
Haha, I am working on an ebook. Maybe what we call a stubby holder to hold your beer lol
Bedankt! Your knots are my new standard.
Wow Willem. I appreciate it. Dank u wel
Learning!
We are always learning.
Always great content without the BS. Love it

Cheers mate. Good channel you have there. I'll give you a subscription. Good luck with it.
@OutdoorAcademyAustralia awesome thanks fella, much appreciated 👍
Another great video!
Cheers Willem.
Cooking in a coke can? Yum, microplastics! Thanks for video. I wonder how much weight it can hold, might need to scale it up quite a bit for a cast iron pot..
@@honkbeforeitstoolate587 I'm putting together ideas for a video on survival using garbage items. Aluminium is safe short term. For a cast iron pot I would use a longer stick extending back, but it'll hold. I appreciate the comment though. Feedback makes me improve. Cheers.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia Yeah, I didn't mean any offense, living with microplastics beats dying of hunger every day of the week. A lot of people, myself included, didn't realize that aluminum cans have a plastic film inside to prevent the food stuffs from reacting with the aluminum. Thanks for the survival videos, we may need them pretty soon with the way smol hat tribe is behaving.
@honkbeforeitstoolate587 no offence taken mate. It's healthy to accept different views and opinions. We all learn from each other.
It's impossible not to try this. Especially if you're nuts about the mechanics of knots. Easy tutorial as always. Cheers .👍
Cheers mate. Give it a try and let me know how you go.
Never ending ideas 😊, good job
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it.
A great and simple setup! Thank you for sharing
Cheers mate. It doesn't need to be more complicated than this. Gets the job done.
And he slips in a quick release fisherman's knot when no ones lookin, then ties some kinda fancy friction hitch with the loop. There's no end to this mans wizardry Use your powers for good john. Cheers🇨🇦

@ Nice! I was wondering, because only people our age would like and be familiar with that type of music 😉
That was awesome top bit of info - thanks

I always keep a coil of 3/16" cord in my truck "just in case". This morning I left harnesses and leashes for my two little dogs at home while making a run about 30 miles from home. Took a chance, did a TH-cam search. Your video came up first and sure saved the day. Thanks from southern California!
@@biffspangler3375 cheers mate. Glad I could help. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Awesome tuition. Easy to follow. Thanks
Cheers, glad you liked it.
I have switched over to this trucker's hitch from the American method I've used for 35 plus years.
Awsome. Glad I could help. Cheers
Beautifull environment. Really cool to see!
Cheers mate. It was amazing scenery. I wish I could have used the drone but it was too windy.
Omg! What was i doing using all those super duper king kong quick deploy ridgeline stuff. This is much better! Thanks!!
Cheers mate. Now days I leave about 2 foot of cordage on the main tie out points of my tarp for different configurations and use a Taut Line Hitch to attach it to the Ridgeline. Glad you liked it.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustraliaNice addition, thanks! I will try that also with the taut line hitch.
I just practiced this for half an hour and i can (almost 😅) do it as fast as you do! It was a little difficult to see what you do exactly, but after watching it a couple if times and pauze it now and then did the trick! Thanks for sharing, because this is ecactly what i needed! No more pulling rope through and ultra tension due to the double hitch. Great stuff man! Greetings from Amersfoort in the Netherlands!
Nice work I have a longer video doing a 20 second ridgeline using this method, I'll attach a link. I was born in Heerlen Netherlands. Came to Australia when I was 2. th-cam.com/video/iv-35Y8u8JY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=69IhS75hG3mzK4rE
Thanks for the link! Haha Heerlen, wow! So you are actually a Limburger! Really cool to know! I bet that Dutch is not something you speak anymore or do you?
@willemhenk no, I only remember the swear words lol. I have never been back but am planning a trip in the next year or so.
Hahaha! People always learn those words first somehow. Oh wow, thats cool! Quite funny how that goes. You are 100% Dutch from origin, but have never been here. Think lots of people did moved to Australia round the 80’s btw. Well for your visit; I suggest you at least try a ‘frikandel speciaal’ to get a taste of the Dutch culture! 😜
@willemhenk My mum used to make many Dutch dishes but I don't remember that one. My favourite was chicken croquettes
Nice Vid. How long ago did you complete the hike. And how was the water situation at Cooyoyo Creek (just below Cooyoyo campsite)? Thinking of heading out soon for a hike.
I was there last weekend. Creek was flowing and pretty clear. I used a filter but Rod just boiled his.
@OutdoorAcademyAustralia Awesome thank you! Hopefully some more rain this week will mean not too much water haulage up to the hill.
Beautiful country, beautiful video, really enjoyed it. btw did Gibbo’s fart give him any propulsion up that mountain?
Haha. Cheers mate. That rig needs a lot more propulsion than that to move it.
Well done, nice video.👌
Cheers mate. Not my usual content.glad you liked it. Would you like more of this sort of stuff?
@@OutdoorAcademyAustraliaYes, for sure.👍
Looks like a good outing. Just did a similar hike in the Canadian Rockies with my son in late October. 650 metres of elevation gain in 7 km to get to the lake. Not as much as your hike but still got out attention as most of it was in the last 2.5 km. It was great, a storm was coming in, strong winds were knocking us about as we moved along the exposed trail. Temperature was just above freezing on the way up and then dipped below overnight and in the morning. We loved it, so late in the season we had the trail to ourselves and no mosquitos. Gave him some much wanted adventure as well as a couple good stories. Most importantly outdoor experience points were added.
That's the stuff kids remember. Keep creating memories mate. It stays with them for life.
Enjoyed this video immensely. I have learned a lot from this channel, keep up the great work.
Cheers mate. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun to make. Glad you liked it.
Barking Australian Frogs were encountered on this hike, lol.
Haha. I think he stepped on it.
What a great and simple demonstration. I was shown this many years ago as a young man by a delivery driver on site but forgot it through lack of use.
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it.
WHAT Size Blue Tarp is that and the Manufactor? 3x3 ( 10x10) etc.
It's a 3×3.6 or 10×12 SCA tarp from Super Cheap Auto
Ok, now I have to learn yet another way to tie a bowline, but that’s cool AF.
Cheers mate.
If you dont have a something smooth to bang on the knot with, use your teeth, but don't cut it like with fishing line, waste the rope that way, plus there's all the frey.
Good tip. I'll try it
My wife's name is Ashley so that last one should be helpful 👍
Nice, hi Ashley.
godlust ! 🔥🔥🔥
My all-time favorite go-to tarp is still my DD 4x4 meter tarp. There is so much I can do with this tarp including configuring it as a completely enclosed shelter. My favorite way to use it is as a hammock tent.
Hi John, Didn't get a notification for this one ? Looks like some ones been hammering their finger nails. Made me laugh when you said at the end too use your fingernails to undo the knot. My brain said I bet he doesn't use that knackered nail ha ha. All the best John the pom
Haha. I busted my finger and put the bone through the nail bed. Never grew back right lol.
Nice kit. I like the waterproof bag
Very useful. I keep my phone in there too
