Essential Knots!

I have used these knots for the past 20 years in conjunction with most of my cordage tying needs! Only a few knots are needed to be the most efficient in survival, as well as home uses to maximize speed, efficiency, and practicality. Practice these knots multiple times, in the comfort of your dwelling to ensure there is no confusion when tying knots in the dark under headlight!

Really clear explanation of the knots, the bright colored line makes it easy to see on camera, great job !!!

I love that slip knot into bowline trick! Thanks!

[JosephDougherty]

This guy is really good!! Love the bird beak application! Everything spins off it & makes the bowline so versatile!! Outstanding!!!

I was a flipping boy scout and now an electrician who uses knots on jobsites on the regular and I NEVER knew the trick about quickly releasing the square knot. When you did that, I stared at my phone and said out loud, "well shit..."
Also, the button idea is pretty smart too. Really enjoyed the video!

[dannyb]

You did a great job! Helped me “expand” my list of knots I’m comfortable with!

[jacktuber]

I like the trick for the snap bowline, a simple knot made even faster

[jamc]

no-nonsense video ...loved it ... especially the storage system. 👍

[jamesadams]

Really like your teaching style on some of the knots made it simpler for me to remember...great video

[BushcraftingBogan]

That was the least complicated and easiest to remember way to tie a Truckers Knot that I've ever seen! Excellent video!

[jnktrom]

So glad I found you. We will be doing a lesson a week with my four homeschool kids!

Very good video clear directions with just the right amount of detail without padding it out I have used knots all my life and still picked up some good tips Well done

[Bryan-eqkj]

have never seen the way you tied the bowline but that is the way im doing it from now on. thx

[vernbolstad]

I just used a truckers hitch to secure concrete blanket rolls on a pore that I had. I used the common dry line used by many carpenters.
I use a “daisy chain” to store my electrical cords so they are not twisted. Thanks for the info!

I don’t think a single person realizes just how rare of a color of that BIC. Early 90’s.

[garrytuohy]

Love that Daisy Chain.I have seen someone also use it for electrical cables, but I hadn't considered using it for cordage.
I will have to practice that Snap Bowline.
But the quick release for the Square Knot was a fantastic tip.

Ive had wind tear off so many gromins on different things one being my hunting blind and it was to the point i couldnt tie it down properly. But u showed me the light thank u. U saved me buying a new one thats great.

[tanchungzhen]
