Backpacking Videos

I've done a lot of hammock-making. There is something wonderful to me about swinging quietly beneath the branches, watching the sky move its clouds around. Here are my hammock videos:

My wife likes to call me her "knotty" boy. In fact, this year for Christmas, she bought me the knotty bible! Ashley's Book of Knots. I've got quite a few books on knot-tying, and I can tie over fifty knots for all different purposes, and I have a trunk where I keep all my different ropes. The Positive Knot is a knot I invented and had discussed and debated on the International Guild of Knot Tyers forum. I was regarded as innovative by some and as an uppity young whipper-snapper by others; it was a wonderful experience. Here are my "knotty" films.

Lastly, a couple of films on my beloved Steripen and a look at a little stove whose design I borrowed.
