Use the Improvised Restraint Knot to Quickly Subdue Foes - Knot of the Week HD

[@glennreynolds962]

You should place the ends through the prusik in opposite directions forming 2 separate loops. Place one hand in each loop secure with a square knot

[@singer3188]

Yes! The knot you describe is a Boatswain's Handcuff knot but he tied it with both ends going through the prusik the same direction

[@Hornet7581]

thank you for this video i have successfully sold my brother after tying him up with your knot. it is very strong and he could not break it through☺️

[@1337fraggzb00N]

Looks like it works... but what if knot?

[@1337fraggzb00N]

HA!

[@MemeLord-kt1us]

XD

[@finncook7944]

😂

[@maxdecker4901]

a lot of people are saying things like why dont you put one hand in each loop? I think the answer is that when one hand is in each loop, you can use on hand for a brace and loosen the knot with the other, while if they are in the same loop, the prusik functions properly and even if the stopper is undone, will still be challenging to escape

[@ceramictiletonight]

I assume that the person being restrained has been knocked unconscious.

[@krykkatorix]

That would be a fair assumption. unless you have the rope cuff ready to use, you won't be able to tie the knot and hold the person down until you can effectively restrain them. the subject would fall asleep out of boredom by the time the knot is done. it would be several times better to have zip ties or duct tape if you don't have actual hand cuffs. It would be quicker to assemble and restrain a subject.

[@krykkatorix]

@432fuuzz true, but it seemed a little too complicated to use the rope cuff while subduing a resisting suspect. Ropes will also break or tear with enough time. Restraints was never intended to be used longterm anyway.

[@cannonball666]

Not unconscious. He's going to patiently wait for you to tie an unnecessarily complicated knot.

[@Robmancan1987]

That's why I would lock it off with a quick tight square knot. I'm assuming they would be at gun point lol. I'm not taking the time to dress a figure 8 knot though, down and dirty square knot is fine.

[@chasefairchild8790]

Or consenting.

[@031TP]

this was really awesome do more of this type of videos.

[@Jonny15227]

If you replace the guts of the paracord with Technora you increase the strength of the cordage to over 1000#s as well as adding burn resistance and resistance to friction.

[@akiharu2331]

not gonna lie my girlfriend is gonna love this one

[@Impuritan1]

Way to go, you captured and detained an albino.

[@khristopherallen]

Seeing someone tie this knot and subdue someone who doesn't want to be subdued would be helpful. Would this be pre-tied, and then just locked in place after being tightened?

[@CarlHall-x2d]

thar would be interesting

[@limasierraone7107]

This is an improvised method. It is when you forget to bring your flex cuffs or zip ties and all you have is some cord. This is NOT the primary method. It should only be used as a last result. Please people have some respect. Good job I.T.S.

[@gavinpatterson9754]

I understand that, all I am saying is that if I am provided cord for a last resort. I am tying a handcuff knot. I think that if you are going to provide people with information on restraining attackers with rope, then provide the best option.

[@animeboy93]

Awesome. When you first said prusik I thought you were gonna go with the prusik handcuffs

[@cobrawolf3]

Can you do a video of the Super clove Hitch, zigzag, / the detainment knot

[@gavinpatterson9754]

Two things? #1. Quickly? #2 Wouldn’t a handcuff knot be quicker and just as effective?

[@briannalducci9154]

Gavin Patterson I agree

[@cjmorgan8751]

I'm here for information if you have a link to a better video please tell me where to find it

[@ericcarr6894]

Quicker and more effective

[@techwg]

Quicker, yes. Although less effective. This uses physics to help it be secure. Though I recommend using one hand per loop rather than putting both hands through both the loops at the same time.

[@Beepinex]

my girlfriend is breaking in tomorrow im so excited

[@bobroberts3750]

Don't know the name, looking for it now, but there's a quick one loop hitch that self tightens with struggle that works much better. Way faster, easier to make big and cinch up without fumbling with your knots. I can have it on a pair of hands/legs held together in a three count with any USB cord long enough for three loops. Great for air travel.

[@WesMerc]

Why not put the individual loops around each hand?

[@virtualvic50h]

Green Mountain Armory ive used that style for years.

[@thefucrew9865]

We used the individual lines coming from the prusik, and put one though the prusik "finger slack" from each side, and tie a double square knot (to use as a stopper)...then tighten the prusik knot, to form a "pair" of cuffs.

[@oliver6able]

Right on!

[@oliver6able]

It works better if you split the loops and put each hand in one.

[@fenlet6062]

Go around an extra turn or two with that figure 8 knot, because on some ropes the normal figure 8 will bind and can't come undone

[@samsworldofrations6996]

Great peice of advice 👍

[@kaiwenguo3824]

My brain: I assume I know how to tie the knot! My hands: STFU no you dont

[@techwg]

Practice. This is not an on-the-spot creative project. You should make a few of them and have them on hand for when you need them. I use one as a lanyard on my pocket organiser. It helps me get my organiser quicker than digging my fat hands into my not so baggy trousers. Plus if it were really really needed, I could then restrain someone with it.

[@JohnGreen_US]

I honestly think this is unreliable - too much play, making escape too likely. "Excuse me, thief, hold still I need to tie a figure-8 placed real close to my prusik ..."???? It appears to me you could use the working ends to frap the wrap between the wrists. This would bind the wrists much more securely ... one could then use any number of bends to secure the knot.

[@stephanddd]

Yes. Here's a good way: www.ropeconnections.com/my-favorite-way-of-tying-wrists/ . Or if you really want to get technical, here's the best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6SlqZZuZ7xgmsk

[@ridermak4111]

WTF?? NOT quick by any standard and the ONLY way it’s going to stay secure is if the subject is unconscious while you are tying it.

[@PsykoFeen]

or willing. we all know what this shits really for

[@maxzhao8331]

We know what this video is for

[@goodstuff8156]

You people are so stupid, it’s amazing how dumb people can be.

[@usat42]

i'd be putting one arm through one loop the tighten then wind around a few times between each arm/hands , but this depends if the burgler is a friendly dude and is willing to be tied up , maybe he'll make a coffee while i get my knot/ shit together lol

[@metalheadmermaid]

Okay well now I can't untie it 🤣

[@tarciosousa6684]

Best know to restrain your girl ✌️upvote

[@readyme]

Handcuff knot leaves no room for "loosening up".

[@techwg]

Epic! Though I recommend you not put both hands together through the doubled up loop. One hand per loop, it's more secure I believe.

[@8thsinner]

I appreciate the high quality video and thought behind it, but this is possibly the worst idea I have ever seen for a capture concept when it comes to cordage. I strongly recommend you take a brief study on hojojutsu so you can at least grasp the basic principles involved behind it.

[@chewytreyman]

4:22 you mean on a criminal, right??? 😂

[@PinkShirtTactical]

"Let's see how this looks on a victim"....wait what?

[@Aymiikeeganmelb]

I'd slip out of that in about 30 seconds ..

[@Aymiikeeganmelb]

Bloody Puddles why waste time with macrame then ?? ;)

[@Aymiikeeganmelb]

Bloody Puddles if you want to play games with people who break into ur home .. Sure beats scrabble I suppose ..

[@PsykoFeen]

@@Aymiikeeganmelb damn ur dense. or like 12

[@Aymiikeeganmelb]

@@PsykoFeen and yet here you are showing off how awesome you are .. guess that makes you the king of stupid .. congratulations lol

[@goodstuff8156]

People always think that they are the guy. “Oh I could get out of that knot” “Oh I can break that chokehold” “Oh I could fight a bear” Bitch no😂

[@diederikvl70]

I think the Boatswains Handcuffs knot is a better and easier

[@user-cf6ss1zi6n]

Zip ties much faster

[@GrahamHarrisonAlways]

As shown is not a restraint worth a dime. Cinch?

[@PenDragon-hg1lg]

*Whisphers*: Two Knotty Boys

[@PsykoFeen]

2:25 .. lmao ..yea

[@mhfisc]

Just buy some flex cuffs

[@pizzagui2pizza437]

Thanks now my girlfriends wont stand a chance

[@cannonball666]

Your method is really slow and stupid, Mr Tacticool. You need a fast double slip knot on each hand then cinched up and secured with two overhands. By the time you tied your silly handcuff thing your perp just walked away.

[@singer3188]

this would be something you have prepared in advance to use as a last resort if you have nothing else and you have the crim under your control already

[@Test-kd3ve]

Why is the tutorial so fast?!?!?!? So annoying, I have to retry over and over again, can't you slow down??

[@edwardyan3044]

Sounds like a 50 shade of grey knot to me. Lol

[@accountisnotdeleted1063]

Instructions unclear, this doesn’t work

[@wedfrest]

Thanks for jazzing up my sex life

[@Ben-hb4my]

This is massively over complicated!!
