One thing to keep in mind when whipping twisted rope is to wind the whipping opposite of the twist. That's so that natural tendency for one to unwind will work against the other. Really enjoyed the video!
Wow! Good vid, haven't done any whipping since going for tenderfoot waaaaaay back in 1970. Wished I would have remembered it, would have saved a lot of rope in 53 years! Wow, typing this has made me feel real old. Thanks for the trip.
The second way was the way my scout troop did it back in the 80's, one of the Life scouts or maybe a Star scout showed us that way. good refresher I got a tow rope needs it.
The navy has a system set up for us to suggest changes to technical publications. If we find a more efficient way. I guess maybe the boy scouts don't yet.
Well, that's what scout leaders are for then I reckon. Hey man do you know how to make a trash can turkey? I seen that in a cookbook, I might like to try it, Except I am used to cooking birds in a Weber Smokey Mountain cooker. I seen one at scout camp a long time ago, another troop had it.
The second Way you showed is actualy the Way we learn it in the navy. For the Quick Way with guntape you can also use electrical tape and burn the end. It work well when needing many short lenght from one long. Tape each cuting zone then cut and burn in the middle of the tape. Great tips as always.
Not so much, the tape will fuze but the rope won't. unless you use shrink tape or tube. as a mather of fact shrink tube work very well and does last longer. hope this is helpfull. For natural fiber the whip (wax twine) is the best solution.
Since I almost always have #36 bank line in my packs, I'll just unravel some of it and use one of the three stands as my whipping cord. I also melt the ends after I've cut out the excess. I'm with you though. Been so long since I used the BSA method (like 50+ years) that I'd forgotten it till you showed it.
For the tarred bank line, I got the good stuff. I could smell the tar when I opened the box. :) I have already used if for several repair jobs sewing/repairing equipment. It is tough stuff. :)
good vid, as you were doing the boy scout whip, i was thinking its kinda like a variation of a noose or how you wrap up an extension chord. and then you did your way... bingo exactly how i would have done it.. thumbs up..
I remember doing this in BSA Leadership training, about a million years ago. I miss being in the woods with the boys and all the mayhem they can concoct.
when I was in high school a teacher taught me how to splice rope. ever since then I've put a back splice on one end and an eye splice on the other end. they never came undone and were most useful, at least to me, that way.
Make a small loop. Lay it along the rope, loop away from the cut end, leaving extra length at the cut end. Start winding tightly from the cut end. When you have enough, loop the tag end through the loop. Pull the end at the cut end through the wrapping to bury the loop. Trim off the extra cord. Do Girl Scouts from long ago know better ways?
Edward Elric Maybe for some things, but paracord has drawbacks too. It stretches, it is sort of slippery and is small for some uses and big for others. If you have to carry a single type of cord for a survival type kit, paracord is one good option, bank line is another. However, for many camping and pioneering uses, a more substantial rope is better. And if you might need to go up and down steep terrain, a good climbing rope is important. Thanks for watching. - Bryan
interesting but had to wait more than 10 minutes to see what was in the tittle of the video, almost gave up and didn't watch. thanks for the upload though, you were very thorough
Whatever works. I think this is good to know because, technically, you can whip a rope you just made of natural fibers using the same type if natural fibers. So in a real survival scenario you can make cordage and them keep it from coming apart. It's also a requirement for the Boy Scouts, which is another reason I made this video. Thanks for watching. - Bryan

Scott Stults good idea Scott.

The second whip technique was definitely easier and just as effective. Good video, I learned something new, thanks.
That's great to hear. Thanks. - Bryan
Another great and infomative video! Thanks Bryan!
Charles Larson Thanks Charles.
Nice video, great tips, love the last one with the bankline wrapped around the rope. Atb, Marc
Yep. It is simple and it works.
The second way was the way my scout troop did it back in the 80's, one of the Life scouts or maybe a Star scout showed us that way. good refresher I got a tow rope needs it.
Yeah, we learned it the first way and I always had trouble teaching it to others. I don't know why the Boy Scouts still show it the hard way.
The navy has a system set up for us to suggest changes to technical publications. If we find a more efficient way. I guess maybe the boy scouts don't yet.
Jake Riethmeier Not even close,

never done that.

Nice tip, Louis. How well does it work with natural fiber rope?
Not so much, the tape will fuze but the rope won't. unless you use shrink tape or tube. as a mather of fact shrink tube work very well and does last longer. hope this is helpfull. For natural fiber the whip (wax twine) is the best solution.
Yep, I bet heat shrink tube does work pretty good. Great idea.
Thanks for the clear demo, Bryan. Awesome. I hope you don't mind that I've shared your video on my Facebook page, Bushcraft and Nature. ATB, Ken
Mind? I honored. Thanks Ken!

good point
Good video Brian, I like how you demonstrate things. A nice methodical process that is easy to follow. Cheers mate!

Jim Cyr Thank you Jim!

Old Pup I agree. And it is just easier to work with, at least for me.
Great info and demo Bryan
tom a Thanks Tom. It ran a little longer than O planned but I didn't want to cut anything.
kool , neat 2 see the stump top in that kinda shape , being a new subscriber ive only seen it bout 2 rot away , lol ty Gb
Memories .....

Thanks
A good brush up my skills video.
Eric Blades Thanks Eric. Try making some videos. You'll find out really quick what you need to work on ;-)
thanks much and blessings Sir!!
+MrSIXGUNZ Thanks!

They can definitely do that.
Hey Greyman, yes we could concoct a lot of mayhem, thankfully the Scoutmaster had the patience of Job!
Great demo...subbed
***** Thanks!

Ibpn That is a great skill to have. It's been years since I've done that but maybe I'll brush up and try to do a video. Thanks for jogging my memory.
Thats Nice to know thanks
The_kid It really helps keep your cordage in usable condition.
Didn't know that was called whipping a rope but I've use that tie off method many a time for doing cord wrap handles on knives.
***** Yeah, it's the same basic knot used when serving a bowstring too. Very useful to know.
Make a small loop. Lay it along the rope, loop away from the cut end, leaving extra length at the cut end. Start winding tightly from the cut end. When you have enough, loop the tag end through the loop. Pull the end at the cut end through the wrapping to bury the loop. Trim off the extra cord. Do Girl Scouts from long ago know better ways?
GizmoBee1702 It's possible.
thanks
Did you call that a ranger roll on your zippo ? maybe I'm behind times, I'm not familiar with that .
Ranger band- just a piece of bike innertube
good stuff
Dean O I appreciate it Dean.
I think paracord is the best for outdoor use.
Edward Elric Maybe for some things, but paracord has drawbacks too. It stretches, it is sort of slippery and is small for some uses and big for others.

cool
goingfishin thanks
ok my fuse tec. not to diferent i use hot steel top of wood stove to melt without blackening rope
preper embaeado That works as long as you have a wood stove.
ya a former 40mm amo can coverted
cool.

ah excellent, thank you!
I just wrap my rope ends with electrical tape or duct tape...mostly cause I don't like to expend extra energy (ie: I might be lazy) hahahahaha!

I don't remember the first whipping method at all. We did it the second way 100%
Smart.
