Knots for Bushcraft, Camping and Canoeing. Six of the Best Knots I Use.

[@antonybach373]

We miss you when you'r knot around.

[@busansanai]

Tensions build up when there's not enough videos

[@irenekarlsson4356]

I agree🇸🇪

[@AirstripBum]

"Knot around" Love it! Gives me a good idea. May I appropriate it for a card for someone that's not feeling well?

[@jonahtwhale1779]

I am in complete a cord with your sentiment!

[@AirstripBum]

@@jonahtwhale1779 Another good one! :D

[@alanargent5422]

You did forget the strongest and most resilient knot in the world though which is of course the Christmas lights knot. Cannot be tied manually. Needs to form itself over 11 months. Impenetrable.

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

🤣😂🤣 Priceless.

[@1fanger888]

Awesome knot, but I know a better one. Just go fishing with a lady you want to impress and you will remember it, I`m sure. Hint: reminds you of a bird`s nest.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahahaha!! I know that knot only too well! #christmastreelightrage

[@deborahhoch2662]

Loved all the knot jokes😂🤣..know those knots all too well🙄

[@claudelabelle7099]

That was very very funny,,,, True...!

[@fatsdulange]

I know this is now 2 yrs old, but to this 55 yr old it's pure gold. Was never taught knots in school here (US) but i firmly believe they ought to the world over. Thank you! 🍺

[@sim-sam]

To knot or not to knot, well, no question, we missed your video. Stay healthy and safe everybody.

[@m0n0x]

Don't sell yourself short! As a beginner this was easily the most helpful guide I watched: short, concise and with a pletera of different kinds of knots/hitches!

[@maritzazb4341]

Thanks for putting the names of the knots next to a picture of the knot, really helps. Hope your wife gets better soon. 🙏👍🖖💃

[@The_Stoic_PhilosopherAU]

I’m an ex scout. Knowing knots is so beneficial.

[@j_roq7112]

Maggie is. MUCH more important than a video. Glad you're back and she's getting better!!

[@outdoorpoormet9447]

Prayers for Maggie. May she heal quickly and completely. And thanks for the video.

[@outdoorpoormet9447]

Would anyone have laughed if I had spelled that "heel". Come on.....that had to be as funny as at least a couple of the "knot" jokes. LOL (Not joking about wishing her the best, though.)

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

😂😂 I’d have laughed! 😁

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Get Knotted with Simon a Bloke with the itchy buffy in the woods. Here’s hoping Maggie continues improving 🙏🏻

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahaha - thanks mate!

[@toddharvey7089]

Never was a Boy Scout, but I'm finding that learning different knots to be kind of fun and practical in my older age. This was very helpful!

[@michaelslater627]

Friend, now that is a fantastic canoe, It looks fabulous. Wow, nothing like canoeing on lakes, streams, etc. I used to many moons ago

[@terminal-velocity111]

Such a good vid. My Late Father was a Royal Engineer, he made sure I knew how to tie ropes. I do miss my Dad.

[@bergolli1]

I wish all the best for Maggie and you, too. Greatings from Germany

[@bugnfront]

Hey Simon..you should make your own product of carry tutorial cards. In a emergency most people become stressed and so easily confused with some things as simple as knots. Carry cards as I call them are just reminders. Should be simple pictorial of basic knots or skill sets. You have a group of followers that would be interested in your take on these things. Something to throw in the olde bag that will be a resource under stress. Since your in the humidity, could make them water proof...another spot on vid...as always...may your feet be sure on the trail, your campfire warm at night and your trail tales be true!

[@alanclouner7021]

Good to see you back Simon our best to Maggie, nice bit of knot tying, useful thanks! 😎👍

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Give Maggie lots of love and affection 🐕🐶

[@JoshuaBenitezNewOrleans]

I love how you explained the clove hitch. For some reason that one never seemed intuitive to me. I think because it’s always been explained as a knot that has to go around an object. But seeing a free floating clove really clarified how the knot is actually working Thanks!

[@RedswedeOutdoors]

Good to hear that Maggie is on the mend, I hope she makes a speedy recovery. Take care and stay safe!

[@rolandsalazar9562]

Who in blazes are the 9 people who didn’t like this video 🤔?? What’s knot to like about it? Well done Simon. Best wishes to Maggie 🙏🏼❤️🐶.

[@Kenbur]

OH SIMON - you have me tied in KNOTS!!!😂🤣😂 - great vid mate and glad you are allowed outside for you loop. praying mags will recover completely. ATB and thanks for sharing your wisdom of knots!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

[@kensteward1510]

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

[@lingerslongest]

Using an oven made from a biscuit tin. (on the subject of knots the main course could be a shank of sheep ;)

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

I do love a challenge! 😁

[@MrPianoKnee]

I like the fabulous knot you are wearing on your head. That is definitely the champion of knots, right there.

[@steppy145]

[@williamthegriffin6185]

Glad Maggie is on the mend. Only 6 knots, I like that. Sometimes it is overwhelming when I pick up my book o' knots. Thanks for the videos

[@greetb9330]

"Useful to know? Knot half" thanks for sharing Simon. all best.

[@MrDefaultti]

Like you said it. There are lot's of videos about knots, but your video makes it seem simple howto. And I don't need to know 100 knots. Just the ones I use. Just a few. PS: those are the knots I use when camping ;-)

[@MrDefaultti]

And thank you for the padge of yours. It arrived this week (I wasn't home when it came). Now I just have to find a place for it.

[@TechnicolorMammoth]

I love the cow hitch knot so much. Incredibly useful. Now I’ll make sure to call it Larks foot every so often to keep people guessing lol.

[@jonturner4849]

Hi Simon thanks for the video all my best to Maggie hope she's fighting fit soon keep her safe and warm lots of rest if she will

[@oldsmokeeater7075]

Truly enjoy your channel. Hope maggie continues to heal.

[@richardgummere84]

[@carpenterpilot487]

Thanks Simon for talking about various of knots. Sorry about Maggie I'll be praying for her to get well soon! Ur the best!! waiting for the next one.

[@Timbertalkers]

Thx Simon in the Woods. Different people explain things differently and use different camera angles. Your no-nonsense explanation was good for me to catch these. I plan to come back and hear them again. Liked the picture of tying the canoe to the post.

[@Snyderman96701]

Great video with easy-to-follow instructions and visuals!

[@cybercrafter8588]

Love and hugs to Maggie. So sorry to hear she's hurt. Thank you for the update and video Love learning knots

[@svenvanderveen659]

Hey Simon. I hope that Maggie gets well soon and that you can go on an adventure together again. Thanks for your clear explanation and film work! Very educative!

[@Smokeywolf64]

Simon's back and went completely knots 🤣😋 funny bowline story I learned the snake who comes out the lake and around the tree.. anyway nice video hope Maggie has a quick and good recovery! Stay safe and well🙏

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

😂😂😂 Thanks Tim!

[@gordonmccalister1892]

Glad to see you back, and a great subject! Hope Maggie recovers..... cheers

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice video Simon 👍, always good to refresh on knots. And not end up doing, multiple Granny knots 🤣😜🤪. So sorry 😟 to hear about Maggie, hope she feels better soon 🙏.

[@MrMeltedwellies]

Nice one Simon a brilliant refresher on knots thanks very mush Mark

[@markbir7979]

Best & simplest tutorial i have ever seen on knots! Thank you. Pray that Maggie is well soon

[@deetrvl4life875]

Best wishes for Maggie! I’m knot going overboard on this but thanks for showing how you put them to use! 😉

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

😂😂😂 Cheers!

[@turtlepoi]

Congrats to everyone learning these. You have taken the first step in becoming a tenderfoot level Boy Scout. I've used these knots because you can used them since way back then. Well done for teaching these. They really are the best. None of my tents/tarps have tension adjustors. One you know these few you can skip a ton of useless hardware and even ratchet web strap tiedowns. ...One I'd add is the pipe hitch for fixing line to smooth pipe and the knot will hold where it is tied and not slide on the smooth pipe.

[@rmyerscmi]

We missed your videos. Glad to hear Maggie is on the mend! You folks in the UK have had it pretty rough. Glad you can have at least a little escape on your walks. Best wishes from across the pond.

[@jennyleef1775]

Family and pets come before any video. Maggie is a big part of your family so she deserved the love and care she obviously got. I hope she makes a full recovery. I love watching your videos. Take care.

[@MsCarmaJ]

Hope Maggie recovers quickly, love seeing her with you.

[@allensterk6190]

glad to see you back I already have your patch sewn on my pack

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Allen! Glad it got there too okay 👍👍

[@skay3264]

You just solved my problem with Tortline Hitch knot 🤗 and thank you for that! Very informative and most important useful knots! Not fancy things for showoffs! Great job! 👌🏻🔥

[@meanwileinthedesert..2320]

Thank you! For being the only man to tie a bowline, and placing the tail on the outside of the working loop, instead of inside the working loop. Seems everyone and their dog ties a bowline and puts the tail right in the middle of load zone and I dont know why..

[@claudelabelle7099]

Awww Simon,, nice to see you again,, Sorry to hear about Maggie's stroke of bad luck. Great knots video. I thought for sure I would have seen a loop tied with the figure 8 knot. Nice to see you again,

[@AmandaP77IOW]

WOW ive been doing a Larks foot and a clove hitch all my life without knowing it ! It feels good 😅😃

[@Pseudonym-No3]

Your knot tutorial might not be the most fancy one but after watching a lot of of them as a beginner I must say I find it is one of the most practical ones. You cover the most important things in quite short time. Thank you for the good content 😊

[@tonystrange7224]

Nice video this one Simon very informative for anyone new to tying knots. And sorry to hear about Maggie. Wishing her a speedy rexovery.

[@1968hvr]

Thanks for that Simon, its great seeing you again buddy, hope your dog gets better...

[@paulchapman7684]

Nice to see you back well wishes to all concerned 👍

[@quinntheeskimooutdoors6234]

Good demo of knots, thanks, I hope all is well at home. Take care.

[@xaraxania]

Thanks for that video Simon, I don't know much about knots, love to Maggie I hope her poorly legs is better soon , poor girl

[@bilderberg3000]

I have this video downloaded/saved on my phone for when I’m in the woods outside of service.

[@theosalt1]

Thank goodness a "Knot Expert" who knows the proper and commonly used terms for describing the actions and parts used in knot tying! However be careful with the bowline for trying up a boat, unless it is under constant tension it can shake loose. I have retrieved many dinghies due to this knot failing. Better to use a 'round turn and two half hitches'.

[@steveqhanson6835]

Good to see you again Simon. I hope Maggie is on the mend.

[@lindac7146]

MAGGIE- NO. I hope Maggie recovers quickly. I love seeing her with you. Thanks for the lesson and explaining the ways to use these knots.

[@stevencichy137]

Right on great video making knots . I love your gentle attitude and humbleness when you’re making your videos that’s awesome. Keep up the great work and thanks again.

[@antoanto5301]

Great to see you Simon, I hope maggie recovers fast, thanks for the knowledge, see you soon.

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

If i dont use knots i soon forget how to tie them - all valuable stuff - Stay Safe

[@lifestidepools]

Best to Maggie, dogs are so very resilient. She's a sweetheart

[@bushlore21]

Hope Maggie feels better!! Excellent video, very useful!!👍

[@janakinski8575]

Knot nerd here, always interesting to see other folks goto knots. Sorry to hear Maggies been a poorly. I hope you're treating her to some steak to aid recovery. All the best Al

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Al!

[@michaelmcfarland3300]

Hope Maggie has a quick recovery! Thanks for another great video Simon.

[@jvrt64]

Great video and very easy to understand thank you. Whether I'll remember them all when I need to is another challenge for me though 👍

[@mondop5270]

Awesome mate... i look forward to watching this 700 times until i manage to learn one🤣

[@kenfab24]

Nice one Simon good knots and easy to follow. Used my kitchen table leg as a stick. Better to try these things at home rather than out in a storm. Love your videos. Sorry to hear about Maggie.

[@deenunya7735]

Nice Vid Si, Glad to Hear Maggies on the Mend 👍

[@northwestolympics1683]

The prusik knot got me out of a tree well when I was a kid sledding. Half inch rope from sled and boot laces. Probably saved my life.

[@bs78315]

Thank you I already know those knots but still learned something I like the idea of using a byte on the taught line hitch it's so much easier to get it undone thank you

[@henrymoreland8719]

Thanks for that Simon, I will get to practicing those. Hope Maggie picks up.

[@shteebo]

Thanks for including practical examples of where you use the knots and why.

[@rogerroberts9136]

Thank you Simon hope Maggie has a swift recovery. Good knot tutorial easy to forget when you don't get out .

[@sibaldi2922]

Great video again Simon and thanks for the clear demonstrations on how to tie the knots. So sorry to hear about Maggie, but relieved she is on the mend.👍

[@lawrencemartin1113]

Great stuff. So sorry to hear about Maggie's injury. Really hope she makes a full recovery soon. Take care.

[@jacquelinesherlock2274]
