At 59 years old it's funny to me how so many things on this Internet thingy bushcraft stuff is all stuff taught in Boy Scouts in the early 70's and no doubt for generations before. It's awesome that now it can be shared so easily and that people like this gentleman take the time to teach it. Good video, and of course you keep it real!
Definitely. When you think about it these skills taught to Boy Scouts can be traced all the way back to the early American frontier days and personalities like Jim Bridger, Daniel Boone, Rogers Rangers, and Lewis and Clark. Much of which they learned from the American Indians. Updated periodically by American military personnel. A rich heritage indeed.
As my father used to say, " cough" just swallowed a bug, oh well, more protein". Also, my father is 86yrs old. Still fletches his arrows with pitch glue. Really got lucky on the genetic roulette game. I have wonderful parents who have been married 65 years, and still going strong. Just fyi, native american, navy vet ( p.r) volunteer firefighter in Alaska. Thanks for the video. As always, when you stop learning, you stop living.
“Nobody out ranks safety “ haven’t heard that gem in a long while. One thing you did I didn’t mention is when whipping you want to run the whip in the same direction that the rope is twisted. Keeps it nice and tight that way. Also I prefer polyurethane over wax great tutorial
I use to whip rope ends the way shown in this viedo. I now use heat shrink tubing to prevent rope from unravelling and have not had any issues with this method. It is easier and quicker than whipping a rope.
Great little movie! I think I was introduced to “whip and dip” in a rope management class at TAAS at Ft. Campbell in 1985 or so…it was essential in caring for our green lines, back in the days before kern mantle ropes. Good times!
Thank you, I’ve been meaning to whip my lines. I would leave about 1” of rope or so at the end to avoid the whipping from coming undone on the edge of the rope. Thank you for the lesson!
Nice show and tell there and informational didn’t know about this technique back in my day I saw the repel rope with duck 🦆 tape 😳it fixed everything I guess, can you imagine we going down the mountain ⛰ and the rope started unraveling it be the Fastest 💨 repelling 🧗♂️ever 😂👍👌✌️🇺🇸
Nice tips....nobody wants to show the small tasks these days....just the finished product. Takes a lot of little battle tasks to make one METL task....!!

I was just going to praise you for how smart and talented you are... then you cut the damned loop.

Thank you for sharing, wisdom of the elders and your service. Stay strong 🏅🌊🎵🕯
I lost track of how many young scouts I taught how to whip. The beeswax is a nice touch. 👍🏻
Good info. "Nobody outranks safety."
I like the casually stated pearls of wisdom.
Gotta say it was a great tutorial. Thanks for showing us the flubs. Stay safe Josh. We appreciate what you do.
One of the first things I was taught when I showed up to Regiment, the RIP senior medic showed this critical maintenance technique.

A famous rope manufacturer once said. Why fix a rope when you can easily buy a new one?
Whatever bug repellent you are using, please tell us what it is.
Is that an Old Timer pocket knife you got there? Love those!!
Love the aroma of manila rope ! Josh do you miss rappelling down the tower near the all American freeway ?

What are the benefits of artificial sinew over other types of cordage or real sinew?
Всем Здравия! 👍👌💯🌟
"I just swallowed a bug."
Will Wheaton invented whipping and wheat thins.
How well would that waxed rope work for fire starter?
Really well
I said that all with stewing voice in my head.
Now watch me whip…now watch me nea nea…
eye spy...black jungle boots
I wouldn't have cut of the end of the rope so close to the edge of the string.
why not pine or spruce resin
Slightly off topic, but is rope considered a tool or material?
