@Greg Letter Oh. Thanks!

[@artexatrayu8930]

Thanks for the solid tutorial. I've been using it along with some others, a few also from you, to teach the fundamentals to my daughters who at the ages of 10 and 12 have gone into business making custom rifle slings and survival gear using 'survival cord'. Paracord with fishing line, sewing twine and a tinder/wick line along with the standard inner core of common paracord. They've done so well in their first year that I had to incorporate their business and do their taxes. It went from a 'this will be a fun thing to do and make a couple hundred bucks for the summer' thing to a 'we need more people to help us fill our orders and rake in 20 plus thousand dollars a year' thing over about an 18 month period. And the business is still growing. We've gone into negotiations with several gun and sporting goods outfits to carry standardized versions of their single point, dual mount and tactical slings on top or their custom rigs. Now they're adding horse tack and dog harnesses to their line. I've had to put up a small shop for them on our property and it's looking like I'll be expanding that this summer. I couldn't be prouder of them. They haven't even put a website up yet but that's also in the works. I'll probably be working for them before too long, so thank you for the resource. Keep them coming.

You explained these knots VERY well! I, too, have watched several knot tutorials & ended up wondering who would use this stuff. Very well done and you've become my go-to knotting source! Thank you ~

One of the best paracord video I've watched. Clear instructions...concise without excessive ads!

[@marksievert6774]

well said, with the Cobra knot the next loop starts on the same side as the previous knot's loop. Mentally it's counter-intuitive but after you mess up 2-3 times you're fingers will figure it out. I regularly stop and second guess my muscle memory to make sure my cobra/square knots are going the right way. Normally I use a flat 6-8 strand flat braid to make guitar straps and rifle slings then as I find 550 paracord at 8 strands is a bit thin but I add a section or two of cobra knots on top to thicken it up at the wear points/ make it more comfortable before sewing a leather sleeve on the shoulder/next area for extra comfort if the customer want to pay for it. rhythm down you can knock out 1- 1.5 while watching the football game or a decent length movie, sleeve not counted. I recommend tying the strings to a nylon rope held in place on a clipboard or placemat with binder clips. I've found the this works well for making belts (with an Australian method, stopper knot and split braids) as well as the length of a rigid placemat seems to be 16' so 2.5 times around it = 40' (less the leading end of 4' or so = 36"). My Niece way staying over at our place for the Xmas holidays & she forgot to bring belt so I make her one from paracord. It worked well but she may not use it when she goes back to school.

[@InArcadiaSum]

Very informative. Perhaps you've mentioned it elsewhere, but something I've always done, in the course of making knots and splices in commercial fishing, is to settle the finished article by rolling it with considerable force. For example, a length of snake knotting settles nicely if I roll it between my hands, and pulling hard end-to-end also helps; if only by revealing any "slack" knots in the work.

[@cotyparks7341]

I appreciate it. Which brings me to my actual comment rather than compliment and thanks. You mention during the cobra knot that you/others and myself in past have forgotten my lead or working end. I noticed which ever end passes through the loop in a direction away from you and down. Thanks

[@justanotherdude13]

I've been looking up stuff because I'm in JROTC and wanted to know how to tie my ropes that were different colors together, I might have to replay it but the first knot was extremely useful and is helping out a lot, thank you

[@riffswatch1559]

Great tutorial. Nice to see somebody dealing with the basics. Can you please do one on joining Paracord and also explain about your "knotters tool"? Thanks

[@dinamonster00]

That's what I was thinking! Are the two ends simply cut and burned together (that's what it looks like to me) or one color fed through a hole in the other color?

[@nicholasgonzalezfanboy5869]

Joining paracord is done by burning each end and pressing them together 😊

[@LivyLoo72]

I just made my first ever paracord bracelet and may I say you are an expert, this was so easy to fallow thank you

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

You’re welcome 😊

[@jefferson808]

If you can tie a square knot, you can macrame paracord. Barrel stoppers, flat weaves, and diamond knots are the crucial ones to learn. The diamond took me weeks to master. I found that practicing with a larger diameter cord helped me figure out the ins and outs and proper tensioning; which is crucial to get the cord to lay right and make the knot sexy.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Great points and I agree, we definitely need to make tying knots sexier! lol

[@GrimnirReaper]

I agree 100% with that list. Runner up on 6th place would be the Celtic Button/Ranger Bead for me. Excellent adjustable stopper knot for bracelets and such.

[@thisislilraskal]

Your channel has me intrigued by the millions of knots and all their applications. I'm a new subscriber so I haven't watched all your clips yet, but I guess you'd be awesome at shoe laces right? Also, I'd like to know which knot would be the best to use for drawstrings on track pants and hoodies please. Power and blessings from Melbourne Australia

[@junk3996]

im going to start this hobby shortly, hopefully. tying knots is one of those practical skills all men (at least) should know! can't wait to get started.

[@cotyparks7341]

Thank you. I'm 32yo. Never thought I would be making knots u til I discovered people making paracord wrap for handles. Relearned this cobra knot n understood if one co times same knot the spiral continues in such direction. I haven't made this knot or the spiraling knot since I was 15... use to make hemp necklaces back in the day.

[@jefferson808]

If you alternate the direction you tie the knot, it will lay flat. If you tie them all in the same direction, you will get the spiral.

[@pegeggeggleston4315]

Hi - Great video for beginners. I did some paracording a few years back and made the most fabulous (and simple) band for my watch. But I lost my watch. Now I've bought a new watch and need to make a new band. I love the paracord bands because they do not cause sweat (or absorb it), either way they are fabulous, so now I'm relearning and enjoying it immensely. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

Thank you so much for the kind words PegEgg, your support is greatly appreciated!

[@Joani161]

How are you getting two colors on one stand and did you make the frame jig?

[@CplMAC1144]

The scaffold knot is also called a fisherman’s knot, with the amount of turns being a double fisherman’s or triple fisherman’s. This is how you make prussik loops for climbing or camping uses. Great video, it saves me time in looking for an individual knot as these are the go-tos.

[@jefferson808]

It is also known as the barrel or stopper knot in mountaineering. It’s the knot I use to lock off a figure 8 follow through on a bight for my belay anchors.

[@boblewis5558]

The Cobra knot is correctly known as the flat or English sennit knot. If the crossing over of the cords is swapped each crossing, a spiral pattern or Portuguese sennit, also known as a rolling sennit is created. These are seen most commonly in lanyards for bosun"s whistles and the like.

[@rev.dr.funnyshoe7497]

“Scaffold knot” is a “double fisherman’s knot”. It is essential for Alpine rope work. It is used to permanently joined Flat webbing or rope as might be used in a Prussik hitch. I would have died a thousand times over if this knot were to have failed. There is already a knot called the “Scaffold knot”.

[@JohnGreen_US]

True. It's a commonly used bend to permanently (because once heavily loaded it's very hard to untie) join ends of like diameter rope & form loops in all types prusik cords/webbing. HOWEVER ... there is a Scaffold Hitch that uses one double-fisherman's knot as a slip knot tied to the standing part of a rope to create a cinch-able loop - which is why the "scaffold" name, while probably not correct, isn't too bizarre. There's another hitch tied in a different way also called a Scaffold Hitch ... Such is the wacky world of knot names. I'd call THIS knot a "Double Fisherman's Bend" because it uses two Double Fisherman's Knots to join two rope ends ... which is what a "bend" does.

[@anthonydeacon881]

I really don't like the name 'scaffold knot' for something that, as an angler, I've always known as a 'double fisherman's knot'. It's very similar to a 'double uni knot' (though the latter is formed differently), also sometimes called a 'double grinner knot'. A hollow fid can be useful when tying the double fisherman's knot with multiple turns.

[@artexatrayu8930]

@@anthonydeacon881 Yeah, I'm with you there. My father taught me to tie my flies and hooks on to my leader with the same knot these guys are calling the 'scaffold knot' but using 4 or 5 loops around the reel side of the leader (his finger in terms of this video). That knot he showed me is key because it doesn't bind on the leader in a way that weakens it under load so that you don't lose flies or hooks and the fish with them. The paracord weaving world seems to have a lot of knots I've learned for other purposes like angling, climbing and rigging but with different names. It could get confusing but I just partition paracord work off from the others and try to think of it as an entirely different discipline from knot tying for any other purpose.

[@macred]

Agreed

[@jefferson808]

I’ve also used prusiks for ascenders. For joining flat webbing, we used a follow through water knot with barrel stoppers on either side. I’ve used that knot to pull a truck out of a ditch with blue water tubular webbing.

4:35 If you look up "scaffold knot," there is already a very different knot using this name, and very few results that look like this, even if you search "bracelet scaffold knot." Your knot is identical to the double fisherman's knot, so I would just call it that. When you look up "sliding knot," most results are of a single fisherman's knot
