I use jam knots on everything now. Put a jam knot at both ends and you got a carry strap. To keep my cordage handy, I loop it around my pack's top strap. Makes clearing camp that much faster.
Good instructional video. Clear and concise. One other benefit of keeping your gear nearly stowed like that is that any other stuff stowed in the same pocket will be more easily accessible and less likely to fly out and get lost when you (inevitably) have to pull out the poncho quickly in low light situations!
Simple, yet effective. As soon as I saw this I grabbed some paracord from my gear, cut some to arms length, and made these for both my poncho and tarp. Thanks for the idea!
I just joined your show,I I subscribe and pushed the bell. What I like about your show is you don’t do a lot of talking before you get to the subject of the show.
that was great man; thanks; I literally grew up sailing with my dad on his sailboats. Then I went through "Sailing and Seamanship" taught by the USCG Auxiliary and other career guys like Merchant Marines, etc. Having said that, I learned my way around "line" or rope on land. I STILL am learning great knots for use in the field. Thanks again.
Outstanding class ! LOL just checking out your old content and commenting. Need to tweek the U-tube algorythims and get you over the 100k subs. Thankyou for your service sir.
I use a similar method of rolling and doubling up my military poncho, making a "burrito" as you aptly call it, use paracord to keep it like I want it, and using paracord to secure it to the frame ( melting the tips of some lengths of paracord, flattening them with something metal while the paracord is still "melty", and sliding it in the slots along the frame, looping it around and tying it ) on external frame rucks like my USGI MOLLE 2 large ruck, on the side of the frame. With internal frame rucks like the ILBE, I roll and double it up the same, along with my ruck cover, and keep them near the top of the ruck. I figure that if it starts raining I will need to get to both quickly to keep me and my ruck and gear from being soaked, so I keep them handy and easy to get quickly. With the MOLLE 2 large ruck it pushes on the sustainment pouches a bit, but not significant, and I can get both quickly and easily. I posted that so that some of your viewers may find it useful, especially people that use external frame rucks like the MOLLE 2. That way the poncho doesn't take up room in a pouch that can be used to carry more gear. I suppose it will also work nicely on ALICE packs and rucks with similar frames. I guess on ALICE type ruck frames that don't have the slots like MOLLE 2 frames, people would need to have a way of securing it so that it doesn't slip along the length of the frame. Good video, like and subbed, cheers :)
You truly have a gift to teach . Your passion in what you do really shows in you video's. Keep up the great work . I am interested in the USGI poncho is it the same as the real military poncho? Can you do a full review on the poncho that is sold on line and compare it to the real ponch. Thanks
This one is an old BDU military poncho I picked up at a surplus shop outside Fort Bragg over a decade ago. The way to tell if the poncho is actual military fabric is it will have the same finish on both sides and be made of 100% polyester. I did a video on ten uses with a poncho and most of the skills were using a real poncho or two. I boiled water in a cheap poncho over a fire as well as using rock boil technique. Here’s the link so you can see the difference between a full military poncho and a cheaper model: th-cam.com/video/ZRyspcliStk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uutKPIcXY5UQl0kP
Easy instructions to follow for the knot. I have always used the same couple of knots for everything that I tie. I now have the jam knot added. Thanks.
I used to roll mine up leaving the hood unrolled. Then flip it into the hood. Then tightened the hood till it made its own bag. Would fit a 1qt. Inside or a FM 3-21.75. Learned it in osut training.
Also, since you mentioned Paracord, do you have anything about how to use the outer sheath? I've seen many talk of the inner strands, but none show any applications for exterior. Thanks.
+Jay ird196 The most common uses I've seen for the paracord "shell" is melting it with a lighter and using something flat and metal like the side of a blade ( so you don't burn your fingertips ) to spread it to repair small holes and tears in rucks and gear, and people that like the ALICE system ( I much prefer MOLLE ) use it to secure the ALICE clips so they stay secure ( apparently the ALICE clips come open occasionally, according to people who use and like ALICE gear )
They are good stand-alone items. The only mods I have are adding a zipper to the poncho liner similar to the Swagman Roll and then sewing two liners together to double them up and to act as a sleeping bag.
@@gco40gray82 U.S.G.I. military ponchos are pretty easily found surplus for around $30 at many vendors. Ranger Joe's has U.S. military style for $30 and they are ripstop nylon and pretty much the same thing as the real military ponchos if everywhere is sold out of the military ones
I think people would like to know how to tie it off. As Mors does. His vids don't capture it correctly. Canadian jam knot followed by a half hitch I think. Making a bed.. its all jam knots that are followed with a hitch. I can send the vid if you wish.
The jam knot alone made this video worth it for me. Thanks!
How did I miss this one???? My porch is stuffed into my day bag 😂 this will fix it! Thanks Andrew!
It’s amazing to see the evolution of your videos from when this one was made through 2023.
Love the knot! The Corporal sent me … enjoyed the video!
Liked and shared.
Just commenting for the algorithms...
Outstanding video!
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
That one knot trick alone will save me a ton of headaches! Thank you for the hot tip!

This is one handy knot. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this! I like your take on the jam knot and appreciate you taking the time to show us! Sean Kelly sent me and I'm glad he did!
Simple, straight forward. Love it

I appreciate your tutorials and knowledge.. I am gonna work through all of them! Thanks for sharing and thanks for your service to our great nation!
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for so I can easily use my poncho in the field and pack it away nicely
You did a fabulous job teaching us how to tie that knot. Could you please show a truckers hitch and an arbor knot?
41 YEARS OLD AND I JUST LEARNED THIS NOW THANKS TO YOU!!!! SUBBED!!!
Thank you! I'll work hard to keep that sub!
Andrew, Thank you, I just applied this to my Helkon Tex Poncho.
Great video - I'd like to see more on knots!
i USED TO stuff mine into its hood and then stuff it where ever it fit. previously. before this video. outstanding.

Corporals Corner sent me to watch I’m glad he recommended you I subscribed. Also, great work keep it up enjoyed video.
Thank you , short and easy to understand
You know what's even easier? Jamming it in the Ruck pocket like it's a stuff sack! Can you say OCD? LOL. love the channel, Major. Hooah!
I love your military tips, keep going 🤙
This is fantastic. Could you show us your preferred way to build a hooch or any tips/tricks you have to build a hooch?
James Harding Absolutely. I do have a shelter video coming soon! Thanks for the comment!
Great video.
Rangers clear the way

Back in the day we used the elastic boot blousers to hold our poncho together

Thnxs 4 👍✌💯🇺🇸 sharing
A most excellent idea, thx.
Really good information, and easy to use. I will use this system on my ponchos. Thank you for your video.
Sewing the liners 2gther 4 a sleeping bag. Excellent 👌❗
You got great videos ranger !!!!
Very good tutorial.
Thanks, Great knot to know.
Jam Knot Gold
Thanks!
Could you show the folding of the poncho
Thank you
Thanks. Good tip.
Nate
Great video
You should make a video on just tying knots....
Cool. Thanks for the tip
Bout ready for guard duty, we just used blouseing rubbers though.
Canadian Jam knot 🇨🇦 ;)
Thank you that was awesome!
I used to roll mine up leaving the hood unrolled. Then flip it into the hood. Then tightened the hood till it made its own bag. Would fit a 1qt. Inside or a FM 3-21.75. Learned it in osut training.
Maybe but we had to attach it to our pistol belt for guard duty at the post ammo dumps
Thanks good demo
This is commonly called a Canadian Jam Knot. There are other videos if you want to see a different method of tying the same thing.
Thank you much.
Does this Jam Knot go well on toast?
Freakin beautiful!!!!
Also, since you mentioned Paracord, do you have anything about how to use the outer sheath? I've seen many talk of the inner strands, but none show any applications for exterior. Thanks.

Thanks man good info
this is how i have my poncho now but with 4 light stakes and a quick deploy ridgeline
Are you still with the army?
What brand poncho do you use??
Thanks for the video
If 550 cord is good… is 1100 cord better? Please explain.
Now that’s a knot the Boy Scouts didn’t teach.
No they didn't.
Where to buy legit mil grade poncho and poncho liner?
thanks for the jam knot video, what kind of backpack were you using?
It’s a Tactical Tailor Malice Pack
@@RangerSurvivalandFieldCraft THANK YOU, I am going to try and find one
Awesome
Have made any mods to your poncho and or liner ?
They are good stand-alone items. The only mods I have are adding a zipper to the poncho liner similar to the Swagman Roll and then sewing two liners together to double them up and to act as a sleeping bag.
I thought those straps were boot bands at first.🙂
What name brand poncho is this?
Government Issue
I like the ripstop quality it seems to be. Wish I had 1.

Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down?? Idiots. I’m going to learn this knot!
What's the sizes dimensions
