Knot tying, #knots #lifehacks
The following knots, hitches, and bends are in this video. I break them down into Anchor knots, Tension knots, mid-line knots, and binding knots.
You'll find the Zeppelin bend - or 69 knot, The Sheet bend and Double sheet bend, the Bowline, (Anti-Bowline or Eskimo knot), the Evenk Hitch (Siberian Hitch), Taut-Line Hitch (Magnus Hitch, Midshipman Hitch, and Rolling Hitch), Truckers Hitch ( Auto-Locking Truckers Hitch), The Prusik knot, Alpine Butterfly, Constrictor Hitch and Canadian Jam knot (Quick Release Jam Knot).

I tie all these knots with Paracord, and they are considered Survival knots, bushcraft knots and camping knots. I explain the use of a Bight, round turn, hitch, and bend.

Wether you want to learn how to tie down a tarp, how to set up a tent, what to do with a fray or cut in your rope, or how to join two ropes together - this is the guide for you!

I have watched hundreds of "best 10" knot tutorials and this one is by far the best filmed, most straight forward, clearest, and most concise of all of them. A true masterpiece of best top 10 knot. Excellent presentation.

I'm an Eagle Scout. This video, by far, is the best I've ever seen for learning and understanding these knots. Using the "car ignition" imagery for the bowline was absolutely perfect.

[TooFastuzz]

The pacing, the cadence and tone of your voice, the clear instructions, the visual examples.. fantastic video. Thank you for sharing!

[larmclock]

As an Eagle Scout and outdoor enthusiast, i can confirm that all of these knots are extremely useful in day-to-day life. The video production is high quality as is the content. Very well done, probably the best knot video i have ever watched

"This next knot is exceptional."

You, sir, are exceptional! Thank you for such an informative, straight-forward, and well-produced tutorial!

[omairimtiaz]

Dude, who are you? Did you just single handedly change the knot game forever? I'm absolutely floored at how you integrated your own easier variations and quick releases to already amazing knots. No amount of thanks will be enough for what you've shown us!!!

[AgarParth]

The sheet bend knot is something I've needed my entire life but never knew about. Brilliant video!

[rziufkm]

Who else watched this but will just forget how to do them all within 2 seconds.

[jameskrause]

Fantastic video. These knots would have saved me SO much trouble my whole life! I'm going to teach them to my grandsons so that they'll be better prepared than I was.

The Zeppelin Bend and Alpine Butterfly knots hold a special place in my heart for being the best-in-class in security (will not come undone) but also being completely jam-proof (will not become impossible to untie). It's rare to see knots with both properties at once.

[DanCantStandYA]

can we get a poster made? i camp a lot and cant remember any knots besides the noose, for the life of me. i looked up 7 knots you need to know, about 6 years ago, watched it close to 100x and remembered nothing.

[thomasgrierson]

This is one of those rare moments when the Youtube algorithm serves you up an absolute BANGER of a video you didn't know you needed.

[haydenthompson]

I can’t believe this video doesn’t have more views! Phenomenal teaching and beautiful editing

[waynemccuen]

And what's very nice about your calm, cool, collected and courteous. My dad tried to teach me some of the knots when I was a got yelled at, a lot. Extremely helpful. Thank for your instruction.

[keithgyt]

This has got to be the best knot video I have ever seen. Fantastic - thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into this.

[mesugo]

Sitting at my desk at work with a shoelace, practicing knots and dreaming of camping :D SO easy to understand, fantastic tutorial, THANK YOU!!!

[danielDrgn]

I've never donated to a YouTube video before as best as I can remember, but the wealth of knowledge in this video is just exceptional. Thanks!

[ecpoirier]

when camping in Algonquin Park, and hanging our food from a tree (away from the potential bears), we always used a carabiner. I will start practicing the ALPINE BUTTERFLY as an alternative. Great video and keep making us fellow CANUCKS proud of Canadian content online. Bravo.

I am 70 years old and I was taught these knots by my Dad, who was a Navy Man, and throughout my life, Hunting, Fishing, Backpacking, Camping, and Every day things I find all these knots to be useful. Thank you, Dad RIP 🐭✌🏻🇺🇸
