3:07 tree protectors are not intended to make the rope more secure, as suggested here. They are meant to stop the rope from damaging the tree. There is a lot of pressure on the rope around the trunk. Over a fairly short time, it will cut into the bark and harm the tree. Fine if you plan to cut the trees down, or don't care about their health, but otherwise a few simple protectors are worth using.
Looks like it’s already dug in to some of the bark there. Love the video, but a bit more work would help the tree. Gotta take care of these trees that bring us joy!
I tried to learn from some other guy and he was talking about all these fancy tools, tree protectors, eye bolts, and even a climbing rig to get up high. This video is what I wanted. You have succeeded in earning a subscriber
Hellyea people try to make them all professional so they can charge a ton. I’ve always thought of it as a simple concept that can be used by travelers and homeless people
'Bout the tree protectors though... Some spare pieces of board or even some branches would benefit the tree so much... Nothing fancy, just spreading the tension of the small diameter rope
I mean fair point and all but those trees are going to just fine. If anything they will be happier having people bounce around those canopies. Trees are very resilient.
There is good reason to use protectors: you avoid partially or completely ring-barking the trunk or branch, or at the very least, reduce the chance of injury to the tree. If you are leaving it up for a long time, then eye bolts are the next step. And if you are doing this at height, then a climbing rig is only sensible. Despite what another commenter says, most trees don't 'enjoy' people bouncing around in their canopies. It takes years for branches to grow back and the open wound from any break can lead to rot or other disease.
I just found your videos on Shorts like two days ago and have been obsessed with this. Your work is incredible. Thank you for the video! Can't wait to try this myself.
The chaos pattern seems like it would probably be the strongest and less time consuming, but can you tell us what brand of cord you use, as well as the colors that are very durable?
This is what I need to spruce up our kids backyard play area! Could you please link, reply or tell us (me) where and what the best paracord to get is so I can order something like what you use?
Any local hardware store Home Depot, Lowe’s, Ace, etc will carry 550 paracord which is what he’s using. You can use 1100lb paracord as well if you’d like to be “extra safe”. Climbing rope you’ll have to order or go to REI.
Hello Charlie this is just the size I want to start on. Are you using all static line or is the perimeter line dynamic? Also do you have any idea how many foot of paracord you have in this project? 1,000 ft? 2,000?? 3,000? I want to weave tight like yours. Thanks for sharing your amazing art.
Why oh why am i just discovering this. This is great alternative to a tree house structure. What exactly is the rope to use, do you have some detailed product descriptions of the types of rope for those of us with no experience with climbing ropes? Also is it only climbing ropes that are recommended, is there a minimum amount of tree trunks required, how long do the nets tend to last, or what should one look out for and after how long to make sure the net/web is still safe to use? Could you maybe do a video covering such things? Im just so blown away by this idea, its amazing. Instantly subbed.
How often do you cut the paracord when you’re filling it in? Do you ever just throw the spool through your knots before tightening them? Could that make them more loose if so? May seem like stupid questions but just curious about how you do it so I can get in a better rhythm.
Awesome, thanks! Can you give advice on rope quality (material / price) please? And maybe even where you get most of yours from? I bought nylon paracord and didn't realise a net would request that much length!! It's an expensive hobby :)
Ive build last week my first web, used eye screws or idk the name and static (8mm) rope from amazon, it was 2,4€/m and i got some 9 core paracord type 3 (4mm) for the mid. the net is very good and stable, today i tried climbing rope from aliexpress(yes china stuff) yet its good ( outer is polyester and inner is PP) it is elastic and i cannot make good knots so. i'd recommend to just use static rope i said earlier. so good luck mate! 🎉😂
I'm having a really hard time tying the truckers knot and wrapping it around my tree use could you make a video about doing that but that goes into that step by step of how to tie the knot please
when you are employing the "chaos pattern" you mentioned you just double loop as you go. do you periodically tie off those strands at any point? i'd be worried if ever the paracord broke the whole thing could start to unravel pretty quickly if it's not tied off anywhere. i know it's unlikely to break, but still seems like tying off every 10th connection point would be a good idea, no?

I have lots of trees in my backyard and found spot where i set up a net. I have a few questions. Where can I purchase the lowest priced rope and cord? And what type of rope/cord can I use?
solid tutorial brudda! i thought we at least need a branch on the trunk to hold the rope up. i would have never thought that tension alone would be enough. also no dream catcher? i see you have learned many new techniques since we last built webs!
How much paracord do you think you used? I want to build two triangles roughly the same size and dont want to be short some cord in the middle of a weave. Also are spirals or corkscrew possible ?
Love your work mate. I'm trying to choose rope locally available here in Australia, I would love your opinion on perimeter and skeleton ropes.... I've got 14mm marine rope for the perimeter and was thinking 6mm marine rope for the skeleton. It's double braid polyester with a braking strength of 4800kg for the 14mm and 700kg for the 6mm. What do you think? Cheers from Australia!
hey charlie, been watching from tiktok for over a year. I learned the truckers hitch and everything else pretty much, but I'm still confused how to wrap a tree with wood blocks. please reach out to me if you can!
These ropes degrade and finally break when exposed to UV-light, which is natural part of sunlight. What do you do to protect your work and keep your webs safe, especially the ones very high up in trees?
You should be using wide webbing for the straps around the trees. Those ropes are digging in to the trees pretty badly. Look in to hammock camping if you want to learn more about tree straps.
How exactly do you weave? I see that you had a big spool of paracord but do you just cut a few meters of and use that? And if you do how do you connect those?
Hi Charlie, can you estimate how much paracord you used for the base (or all together)? Im wondering how much to order for a project I plan to do with scouts. Thanks

@@SantanaBinksthat's what I missed in the video, thanks a lot
Your video is so encouraging and inspiring! Thank you
I've been waiting for this! Awesome stuff. Thx so much!
Bro don’t stop the grind! Love this! lol I’m about to try this is my back yard

Dude I went outside to try it and I couldn't figure it out so I went to your channel and saw this video great work man keep it up
This is exactly what I was looking for!!!

Depends on location for weather and amount of sun light the ropes receive.
Ropes won't last as long.

more tutorials!!!!! amazing!!!!!

Do you protect the trees from the rope? Overtime it will kill the tree if it digs into the bark.
cant wait for more tutorials thank you bro❤
I'm having a really hard time tying the truckers knot and wrapping it around my tree use could you make a video about doing that but that goes into that step by step of how to tie the knot please
Where can i find the rope

Awesome, thanks !
Thank you for the explanation ❤❤❤❤❤ can you tell us what type of ropes to buy and from where?
Awesome video man. Subscribed!
Awsome tutorial. I have the perfect mind to understand this concept lol. What grade cordage do you use; rough estimate in feet?
Will be doing this in a five trunked redwood soon. Rough estimate of the top "floor" will be around 120 feet high
Awesome, will be doing this with my friends!
im interested in knowing were you get the paracord in rope from and how much it would cost to make something simple like this?
Bro this is excellent. Thank you for this. Include some links on where to buy your ropes.
Thanks. And literally just 550 Parachord Strait off Amazon.
@@Charlieswebs but what climbing rope are you using. Is it in this video static or dynamic rope?
thank you, i have been wondering how you do it exactly. When i eventually live on my own piece of land in the rural areas, I would love to build them.
Awesome video! Roughly much rope of each type would one need to make a rope of a similar size though?
Nice, thanks.

Im going to do this as a fun summer project with some friends.
solid tutorial brudda! i thought we at least need a branch on the trunk to hold the rope up. i would have never thought that tension alone would be enough. also no dream catcher? i see you have learned many new techniques since we last built webs!
I commented like 2 days ago asking you to make this video thanks guy your a beauty
how long of paracord do you use ? Nice vidéo
Is there an estimation how much time and rope you need for such a web?
How long do you think this took you to make? Looks like you had it up in a couple hours
This is incredible mate, thanks for the video.
So sick! So sick man. This whole thing is great, and then you blew my mind jumping on it like a trampoline. Yikes! and Amazing at the same time.
Thank you sm for sharing this!
How much paracord do you think you used? I want to build two triangles roughly the same size and dont want to be short some cord in the middle of a weave. Also are spirals or corkscrew possible ?
Thank you so much for this tutorial I can't wait to try it out
This looks hard. Tying knots in rope
How do you continue off of the clove hitch? Do you wrap it around at all or just pull it across?
What’s the best place to get materials? Like just Home Depot maybe?
I’m so tempted to find a place to learn how to make one of these, it’ll be so fun and annoying
Gonna try this with my son this year. After I study your how to videos some more tho lol. Thx Spider-Man
Me and my friend are building this any tips and is there certain rope I shoulda use over others? And does it matter all that much
Love it dude mooore content very enjoyable to watch
I have a forest group weekly sessions coming up this mught be a great activity to teach knot but also something fun to aim for as a goal
are there any specifica to the rope? Or any rope works?
Is it possible we can get you to crescent city, I heard you’re not far from here. Awesome work bro btw. Respect!
What kinds of rope are you using
WHat are the rope and paracord used? or should any generic paracord work for the weave?
Where do you source your various rope?
How long do the ropes and paracord last outdoors?
What pound paracord do you use for the perimeter and the chaos?
How much did you spent on this web?
What is the best rope choice to make them as non-attractive/invisible as possible? Great video!
Just use rope that is the same color as the tree
Thanks!
How long does it last before it's starting to deteriorate ? What kind of rope do you rexommand ?
Good stuff never tought of that without your videos
3:45 Do lighter colors also mean the rope becomes more fragile quicker?
How many feet of paracord did you use here?
More videos like this please
What do you call 4 guys in a hammock.....anything you want, they're not going to do anything 😂
Is the para chord for the perimeter?
How much rope you need too make treenet like that
Very nice videos its exactely what a need , How To do this . I am 4000 feet paracord ready .
Thanks Charlies

I see that you had a big spool of paracord but do you just cut a few meters of and use that?
And if you do how do you connect those?
Could u send the link to me on what rope u use @charliewebs
Dude, how do you keep wildlife from getting stuck in your webs?
What if one of the ropes breaks or gets cut? Wouldn't a knotted hammock pattern be safer?
Any recommendations for what kind of paracord and what kind of rope
..use tree huggers plz..
Hi Charlie, can you estimate how much paracord you used for the base (or all together)? Im wondering how much to order for a project I plan to do with scouts. Thanks
Okay so. I have a GIANT magnolia.. no surrounding trees how can I make a net? Using the branches of the magnolia and the base? Pls help
I’d love to see him take this up, hope you get the help your looking for
What kind of rope is that ?
Pls tell me how much was it i wanted to do it😀
Nice
how much did this one cost? and where do you buy all of your rope?
Yeah boy 💪🏽
What kind of rope do you use
Can you take some down easily and reuse the string
What kind of ropes do you use?
cool
Hey man what dimensions of rope are you using
what rope do you use and where do you get them?
This is paracord and climbing rope but you can use anything
@@Charlieswebs THANK YOU
@@Charlieswebs next question, where do u get the ropes
WE FINNALYBHAVE AN ANSWER! HOORAY!!!!
Would someone be able to just pull the truckers hitch knot and ruin the net?? Or would tension keep it up
