MORE USES (as suggested by commenters)

1) Soft Shackle Knot
2) Survival Bola (hunting)
3) Sweater / Purse Zipper
4) Can hang items off it like a backpack.
5) Making a Flail
6) Buttons for tarp setup - with extra line coming off the monkey fist for attachments

This is the 3rd tutorial I've tried and your technique is by far the easiest! I finally made a monkeys fist and I did on the first try of your technique! Thank you.

One of my top 3 knots! If you simply let the monkey fist hang, you can hang something else like a backpack ONTO the fist, because the string/rope exit is offset from the center, meaning the fist-to-exit provides a nook/valley to snag onto. Even a string as small as 3/16" (between 1/8 and 1/4") will hold my backpack. I also attach to a sweater zipper and my girlfriend's purse zipper, as a decorative piece, and of course it makes for a superior stopper knot.

I carry two to three small monkey fists, of about 1 to 2 inches, to use as buttons for the tarp set up. So I don’t have to use rocks or anything sharp on the fabric. My monkey’s fists have the left over strand in a loop and/or attached to a carabiner, so once the button is set up, the carabiner or loop, dangles from above inside the tarp, like an extra attachment point for a lamp, or even more line.

You doing this probably just a hobby (I imagine being a firefighter is a demanding job) I have to say: your video quality is top notch. Showing it all live, including helping CGI, legal advise and all that with a very cheerful attitude ... Great. Just great. Keep up the good work. 👍

[hairlesscactus]

Excellent video. Got it on my 1st try. Second attempt was even easier. Thanks!!

I have found that a Celtic button knot (single strand diamond knot) makes a perfect center filling for a three strand monkeys fist. You might want to give it a try if you have not already.
Thank you very much for yet another great short informative video.

I wanna know who are these people that tap into god-mode and come up with these knots in the first place, that's whats more fascinating that someone came up with it one day in the bush without any tools or technology just a clear thinking and intuitive mind. Loving your videos, keep up the good work.

Monkeys Fist Heaving Line- USCG, we used these, tied from long cotton lines, made off to the mooring line. As the ship nears the dock the monkeys fist is heaved (thrown) to the dock hand & he pulls the mooring line across the water to the dock. Weighted ones (for high winds) had to be dipped in red paint as a warning to line handlers. Held many positions over the years. Firefighter (shipboard), was one.

i cant unhear Spongebob's Flying Dutchman, being 'knotty'...

This is a great foundation for a simple bushcraft bola as well. Join 3 of these together (lightly weighted) and with some practice you can take down some surprisingly large game, allowing you to close quickly to a range where a simple spear can finish the job on the ensnared prey.

The Monkeys Fist knot is VERY cathartic to weave! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[eileenprior]

i just discovered the monkey’s fist knot and its uses, thank you for educating me further! i really enjoy your videos.

[SusieLovesJesus]

Wow! Pretty cool DJ! I have a couple of 100lb dogs and one of them loves their rope tug toy that has a few of those knots on it. I always wondered how to tie that knot... Now maybe I can retie it myself when he bites off the end monkey paw again 🐾😂😁 Thank you my friend. I pray all is going well with you these days. Nice to see your upbeat smiling face again ☺️

[anwarrior]

just found out you were a Fireman! Greetings from Firehouse 21 in Islamorada all the way down in the Florida keys! You're the man brother!

[LynxEatsHay]

I did it in my first try I’m so happy! I started teaching myself knots last night from your other video!

[markboscawen]

Some boat owners use a monkey’s fist as a quick visual indication if a boat is slowly talking on water (sinking) when at anchor or docked. The Monkey’s fist is lowered to just above the water, usually at the bow. If hours or days later it’s in the water, you’ve got a problem.

My dog is going to love this for a toy!
