Consult Your Local Laws Regarding Carrying/Using Something Like This For Self-Defense!

I never knew what a monkey fist was or if I even needed one until YouTube recommended your channel today for no apparent reason

[KumaBean]

That thing brings back a lot of happy memories!

In my younger years I was a Linesman for a commercial ferry company with many and varied duties, but my main job (other than Customs paperwork) was tying up the vessels as they arrived.

We used to call those knots Monkey Nuts, they were much bigger though and were attached to the end of a long line of rope called the Heaving Line.

You wind the rope up like a Lasso, making sure to have a firm grip on your end of the rope, and with a firm swing you could launch that thing right into the hands of vessel engineers at a distance of 30ft (after a _lot_ of practice), the crew attaches it to one of the main heavy mooring lines and then you pull both lines back in and tie the vessel up (usually four mooring lines in total).

The new guys always got laughed at by the French vessel crews, those things can go flying in any direction until you get the knack.

We had a lot of banter, despite the language barrier, lol

There were a lot of tears when that company went under, we all miss that job a lot, we were like a large dysfunctional yet loving family, lol

Starting to feel sad now, lol, I’m off

Happy New Year all! 🍻

Just made this .... total beginner to having a finished product that I am proud of in about 3 hours. Had to redo the monkey fist about 6 times to figure out which way to twist on the turns. You need to have just the right amount of wraps for it to look good. Did 4 wraps on a 1 inch ball and you actually need 5 for it look good I think. Thanks for the vid.

I have been making my own version of these for over twenty years, I really wish I had the benefit of your video when I first started, it would have saved me a lot of headaches and bad language.
Excellent tutorial.

"Unique way to carry your keys" is code for "Please YouTube, don't nuke this DIY weapon video"

[RJKYEG]

I stick with the old standard "toaster in a pillowcase", but this looks pretty good too.

[nannermakuk]

Best illustration of a “how to do” I have seen. Thank you!

[JustMusicAndStuff]

i really like the detail you go into! obviously you are well skilled at this but you break it down to the point that learners can give it a go 😀

[dermsUK]

These are badass. You may have inspired me to start my own hustle. I have a knack for knots but never really found a cool use for them outside of camping lines and mooring my grandad's boat.

[UmpTSquat]

This is the best demonstration of how to tie/create a monkeys fist that I have seen to date. Thank You!

[jeanluc]

Excellent tutorial which gives the viewer a chance to understand and do the same: great job - thank You😀

[LouisianaAstroRambler]

Thank you good sir, for the impeccable tutorage of steel ball bearing entrapment, brilliant I say, simply brilliant!

[lucifinaammatakari]

Sees the square knot and instantly goes anyone whos made a scobi bracelet or keychain will remember that vividly, this would be the perfect bag decoration 100% would make so ill be following this tutorial keep up the loopy work :)

[ericl]

Great video. After 4 or 5 times of just trying to wrap my head around whats going on, now remaking 3 or 4 a night for fun. Oddly satisfying.

[TheOtherDoug]

looks cool, but my lock in a sock hasn't let me down yet..

[myahsaundersss]

I was lost when I got to the dimond know so I had to search up a separate video but after that I was fine. I completed it and it looks great. Thank you so much.

[paulmyers]

My brother made me a full size one. With a cue ball in it. Badass

[oscarestradaoe]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom and keep videos like this one coming...

[Mortagus]

Cool, I love the vibe of the video.
I'm also new to paracord items world so it was super instructive.
Thanks a lot
