I tried learning this from an “animated knot” style video and it was about ten times faster than this. You are my new go-to! Cheers!

This is the only one of these Fisherman's Knot videos that worked for me. Thank you so much!

This is leaps and bounds better than the REI video, thanks man

[gabrielcheneyholub]

"Up through and under that X" was key to my understanding of this one! Thank you!

[Tengooda]

Agreed, the above is the best, clearest description of the few I've looked at for double fisherman's knot (some of which were hopeless!)

[CodyLatimer-becb]

This video made this so much easier. I gave up and learned some other knots and found this cause i wanted to know this without forgetting... Can do it with my eyes closed now :D

This 79 y.o. flyfisher still learning. Needed knot for fishing AND for loop for Prusik. Excellent Video: slow pace; good description of "landmarks" to moves !
Articulate !!! THX.

Thank you so much. I was trying to do this from some google images and I was unable to do it. You have such a knack for explaining this slowly, and considering this is the kind of thing that is really really important to get right - thank you so much.

Good images and slowly demonstrating! Best videos among others.

Someone untied my favorite necklace that used this knot, so thank you for helping me fix it

[libbylandscape]

Thanks, easy to understand and follow! 💕

[ArnoldsDesign]

This the best demonstration I've seen for this knot. Thanks.

This really helped me explain and demonstrate how to tie the knot in a manner that my 4 year old niece understood and learned from. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for teaching her stuff like this at such an early age... but I heard that last weekend she hog-tied her almost 2 year old brother... so I must be doing SOMETHING right!

Thankyou! Way slower, clearer and therefore more useful.. than all the other fancy/animated videos i found on YT so far.

Thank you for this video!! Thank you for slowing it down and making it very user-friendly. Was having trouble with other images/videos.

[frithfiver]

Thank you! I have struggled with this knot specifically... this is the first video that has successfully taught me!
