mine didnt work my paracor ended up just having a broken end you suck

[@Kh6n]

Just because your paracord broke at the end doesn’t mean he sucks.

[@Stardust_Studios848]

Thank you! I'm making my dad one of these for his birthday and this video taught me how :D

[@Stardust_Studios848]

@@errornoname4763 Paracord doesn't break, jerk. Just because you cut the paracord, doesn't mean this guys is terrible. Before you say "well you don't know that" I know just one string (with a knot of paracord of course) can hold up to eight hundred pounds. I know, I tested it.

[@waltdistel716]

As a complete beginner this knot looked particularly intimidating for some reason. Thanks to this tutorial I got it first try and looking great!

[@christophercronkhite5694]

I made some before using crown knots as the core. It worked really well, I was able to pull them super tight, and they were nice and round. I wanted one to be bigger, so I tied one crown inside another, and that worked out great.

Reminder: if your having trouble change the playback speed! Just a helpful tip everyone!

[@mxlkywxterxxx3319]

I put the video speed super slow

[@_GandalfTheGrey_]

Instructions not clear. I sped it up even faster and now I’m even more lost.

[@bkmash41]

I tightened and loosened the same string about 20 times! I felt mentally deficient but finally did it. It is harder than you made it look lol I think I will make a mark with a sharpie on the next one so I know where I started.

[@TheWeaversofEternity]

I've been there before too! But yes, marking the starting point will help a lot.

[@othulsebos2060]

i found out that the start is the first bit of rope you go under when going backards from the end is the beginning if it makes sense

[@donkeygoboom6467]

bkmash41 ya its way harder than he makes it look

Same... This is so confusing

[@timwelch175]

This is great. I've seen these used as pass though anchors for tarp tie downs to great effect. Never really knew how to tie one until now. This is one that once you see it made you can easily remember it. Thanks for sharing!

[@mrsjama8]

You made it look so easy and not very complicated! This is the best video I have seen to show someone how to make a Monkeys Fist! Thank you so much!

[@TruHeart0306]

This is where it finally clicked for me! I have seen a bunch of tutorials and I could not get it right. That is until I got to this one! I was on attempt at least 20 lol! Thank you so much!!! I have finally succeeded!!!

[@willtube61]

You could use this little knot as the core for a larger one.

[@scumbagpuerto8238]

That’s exactly what I did

[@YouKnowMeDuh]

Exactly what I'm doing :D

[@hhlagen]

I started searching tutorials on this and attempting to learn this knot while hypoxic from COVID-19. Not one of my better decisions. I finally came upon this and after many tries

[@jeremiahmoses9663]

Hey man just wanted to thank you! I made my fist monkey knot after watching this video, and I have been doing this kinda stuff since it was called macrame! Lol for anyone reading this I used a pipe cleaner with a little hook to mark the start it was easy to pull out and left no trace!! Thanks again brother!!

[@heyitspatar]

Thanks for the tutorial! I did it once and then used that end product as a base for a second layer and just added a fourth pass. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself and it's a decent size.

[@theoneandonlycarlton]

What A Great Idea! Thanks I Think I'll Try That 🤘👍😜

[@GhamPlays]

lol Screw the string, thats a good knife!

[@kingpanguan]

[@SimonGelling]

Great instructions,i got it right first time,and I'm a complete novice.Thanks !

[@pamestrada2823]

Got it the first time through! Excellent instructions. I used a small 100lb tow rope. I had to adjust a bit for the larger cord but it turned out great!! Exactly what I wanted. Thanks for sharing the instructions!!!

[@anthonyyusup1100]

Great tutorial. I used a stopper knot instead of the overhand. It used less cord and was simpler. Also, marking just above the knot with a sharpie made it really easy to find which line to tighten first.

[@lizjoe21750]

Two things: 1) Tim, I've perused just about every channel offering paracord bracelet tutorials, and yours are the best, by FAR. Thank you for putting the time, energy, and effort into making these videos. I think I may speak for everyone when I say that. 2) If you don't have a steel ball bearing available, don't want to fork out the dough for 'em, or what-not, but DO feel like running to Walmart and/or the Dollar Store, you can use polymer clay, and a marble if you like, to make the center bead. I took a small marble from a bag I had lying around (bought at the dollar store), and some scrap Sculpey Bake Shop clay ($1/2oz. @ Walmart in the crafting section ;) ), and made my own 'ball bearing'. It might not be as heavy as a steel ball, but it's got a really good weight to it, and works perfectly for the center of a monkey's fist. ... Just my two cents (OBviously, LOL ).

Thank you for the instructional videos, they help greatly. No better bargain than a stocked mental toolbox.

[@iowapanner2223]

Thanks, we had a big fellow on our ship in '72 who could throw one with a line attached and hit another ship while underway. Can't wait to make this smaller version myself!!

[@opwave79]

Thanks! I’m gonna use this for boating. I’ll attach the monkey fist-ended paracord to my mooring line so it’ll be easier to toss. I saw sailors do that from ship to dock.

[@bueukillustrator89]

Glad to find your video. I learn this with an all-black cord btw. Took me half an hour to figure out which cord to pull on the tightening phase. patience is the key.

[@HogarthsHeros]

I don't know who you are or what this channel is. But thank you for this one video. I took the video and re recorded the voice over and handed it in as my outdoors course project. A real god send.

[@nishantsoman]

One of the best, easiest and mu favourite tutorial on KZbin!! Thanks a lott!

[@nathandeepak5893]

I have seen many monkey fist tutorials but none of them worked. But yours made it very easy for me I got it on my first try keep it up. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@Sandra_HereToSeeTheDuctTape]

Just tried it and it worked. Thank you! :-)

I got it right the first time. Well done!

Thank you. I have tried three times and I learned! 🎉

[@ryderphillips9303]

Love this video I taught an 8th grader who has bin trying to learn the monkeys fist for a year and three months, and I learned it in two try's.

[@lynfitz1839]

To make finding the starting point easier, just tie contrasting thread about 1" below the knot. Snip it off when done.

[@rossprohaska6263]

Lyn Fitz why not use silver sharpie and place a little dot on the cord that you know you will tuck under when finished tightening and no snipping needed!

[@domantaspa7240]

I love this tutorial the start was a little bit hard but i maked it thank you so much!!!

Perfect video. Clear and direct. Doing a Monkey's Fist without any ball is what I always wanted. "How to make a Monkey's Fist" Amateur show the the real Monkey Fist.

I tried doing this with leather which was probably my undoing.. lol ill try again with paracord. Amazing tutorial though.. super easy to follow and broken down well.

[@Cragun.]

Great, easy to follow video ... boy, I was worried I started cinching at the wrong spot, but I got it. Thanks!

[@raylatham7224]

THANKS!! always wanted to learn and your video makes it easy!!

[@lizbee726]

Thanks! You made it look so easy but I kept on ending with one side missing a loop and some of cords were not sitting flat & I had a large loop that I couldn't get rid of. Was hilarious! I think the mistake was that I wasn't sure where I started so might have started pulling the wrong cord. But won't give up 😂😂

[@thomashughes4859]

Dude! Seriously an excellent video, and you can go four and five around, but your vid was completely clear. I can make these things in four minutes, now! Thanks a million!!!

way more simpler than i thought thanks man

[@bobhaze5324]

If anyone is just getting started with begleri flipping this knot is great for a beginner to practice without getting their knuckles bashed by heavier weight ends.

Thanks! Mine came out great. Will be using to toss rope end across rv roof when setting up sun shade

Made it on the 3rd attemnt , took a while..... kinda hard to find the starting point at the end when u start to tighten it back up!

Thank you for posting this, I'm new to paracord and this was a success.

[@undefinednull5749]

This uses up a LOT of string, but I may be wrong after a first half failed attempt. Should have told us at the start to make not where the starting point is. Also my string is has alresy2some knots on it etc which made things more difficult with the weaving part.

[@cslate36]

great video got it on the first try. yes finding the starting point can be tricky.
