HOW TO TIE A ROPE ZIP TIE KNOT | A Woodland Zip Tie Knot

The Woodland Zip Tie is just a trendy name given to a very common knot. We could call also this a rope zip tie but in reality it’s really only a girth hitch.

Let me show you how to tie the knot and I’ll give a bit of an explanation as we go.

Thanks for watching 🙂

OMG THANK YOU! I’m up struggling to tie a yarn pom pom to finish a gift the night before a baby shower. Super useful for knitters and crocheters!!

Very unusually clear but complete explanations. Thanks a lot.

I like the speed at which you use your hands - the steps become more visible and less "magic".

Appreciate your videos. It must get tiring to post such helpful content and have every armchair expert come out of the woodwork and tell you all the reasons you're wrong. Please keep up the good work. 🙌🏼

I have an incredibly hard time following sequential instruction which means knot tying videos lose me by the third step. This one I was actually able to follow. Looks like a very useful, practical knot to know. Thank you.

Excellent presentation Jason. Subscribed!

The “cow/girth hitch” is one I learned in weaving as a lark’s head knot. Thank you, this is very clear. Good speed, slow enough I can follow easily, not so slow I get bored.

[MattCarves]

Thank you. I'm just starting to learn tying knots. And find your channel very helpful.

I came here to be reminded of how to tie the woodland zip tie and the other stuff you explained was a real bonus. Lately I’ve been compiling how the knots I know build on each other to memorize them in sets the way you explained here. Helps a lot. Thank you!

[edisonhernandez]

Thank you. One of the most useful and easy to make.

[scottbaker]

Thank you for the explanation of the hitches!

2:42 I just did some tests and with the cord I'm using the basic knot has more friction than the one with the double twists (cat's paw). The extra twists actually reduce the knot's ability to tighten down on the loose ends to prevent them slipping.
There is a variation that has a lot more friction but I doubt I can describe how to tie it.
You create the two loops and then twist each one in a figure 8 , twisting one opposite to the other. This gives two double loops to pass the free ends through. 4 loops in total. The knot looks a little like a double ended tau-line hitch or blake's hitch or a double pipe hitch and nothing like the cat's paw.
It is very resistant to loosening.

Well-balanced visual & description

I am a bit of a knot nerd and I had not seen this one before. Thanks.

[eightrfarinas]

Superb knot. I used it to bind firewood

[marcchrys]

The cow hitch looks very like what I (a climber) call a Larks head knot?

[oldguyinthewoods]

Just bought your field guide for my backpacking trips. Thanks!

[JenkinsStevenD]

I just use a quick-release square knot. This just looks like it does the same thing but with extra steps. Thanks for the video though.

[vickanid]

Basically a clove hitch knot. They're quite useful!

[DogAndLinuxLover]

Hey, Jason! Great video! I've been knotting for years and somehow have never come across this knot until today. Your presentation is excellent - I've subscribed after watching just this one video and am looking forward to more.

I think this knot is going to be really useful. I've used the Canadian jam knot before on smaller cord and string and had the string break. I think this is a better solution. Thanks very much!
