10 Knots for Everyday Life

[@SueDNymme]

That first segment, the bottle knot, was the clearest demonstration of the jug-sling hitch I've ever seen. I've tied that knot before, but I've never been able to memorize it- always had to have a book open in front of me. But I think I'll be able to learn it now. Thanks!

[@down2this754]

I completely agree!

[@plovet]

It looks like the Jug-sling knot from Ashley. I love that knot, but somehow have a completely different was of putting it together. It was fascinating to see his way, which is probably the better way! Anyone who every carries a water bottle should know this knot!

[@edwardfalk9997]

Nah, you'll never memorize it. Just bookmark the video.

[@mrnobody89]

Started real strong with my favorite knot, then each new one was more clever than the last. I don't think I've seen the versatackle demonstrated so brilliantly.

[@Ben_L_world]

I watched so many knots video, but I am speechless when I see this, the process is so cleverly different and showing the application makes me reach for my knots and follow through the video, I downloaded the video and now I have all these knots at home that I refreshes everyday with the video to build hand memory … Great job FCA!!

[@ramonrivera5467]

I always wanted to go the boy scouts just to learn about how to tie things professionally thanks now watching your program helps a lot.

[@gregorykroestch4460]

7:51 that is a brilliant knot!! I paused the video and made one immediately. I might be able to use that at work. Thanks.

[@cyberfiche]

I love the tackle knot! I discovered it on my own a few years ago and I use it all the time. It can also be created by using any other loop knots such as a bowline.

[@susanmullaney9359]

You have a real talent for describing the steps of these knots. Thank you for this video.

[@First_Class_Amateur]

Hey thanks! It’s not uncommon for me to have to repeat some sentences 20 or 30 times before the terminology comes out right along with the rope cooperating. Practice!

[@itsROMPERS...]

It's amazing to me to see people who can memorize these. I've tried picking one knot and trying to practice and work with it to get it memorized and unless i do it every day, within a short period or will just vanish from my mind. Yet i know so many other random things that i can recall after years that are totally abstract, with none of the visual pattern physicality of things like knots.

You are amazing at not only explaining how to do the knots but also giving us most usable ideas for said knot 🌹💋🤗👌👍👏

[@quake2u]

Very cool but very complicated.

[@JJJGGGGGGG]

Thanks a lot! Perfect demo.

[@darkframepictures]

13:12 thank you for the diamond knot 😊 love it.

[@GregConquest]

Thanks for this. These look useful. One note: @1:03, the zipper lock. That knot was impressive, but another nearly always overlooked solution, though not unpickable, is right in front of you. On bags with the zipper loops like that, you really only need one of the two string sections already there to secure it from accidentally coming sliding open. 1) Take the un-knotted end of the string and push it through the metal hole in the other zipper. 2) Then pull the loop coming through the zipper hole over the knot on the same string. Voila! It's locked! ... I've never seen this demonstrated and can't find documentation of this at all, but it seems clear that it was part of the original design. The strings I've tried are the ideal length for this. Most backpacks used to have just one string on those two zippers, and I never understood why. So, I sat down one day and just started playing with it. Pushing the loop instead of the knot through the zipper hole was counter-intuitive for me, but once I did that, it all fell into place. Now it seems like the original purpose has been lost. The second string can actually get in the way, and I'm guessing some strings are now too short or long for this to work correctly.

[@nickcurtis7676]

That is a great way to secure the zippers together, quick easy and secure. But I believe the purpose of the knot in the video is to outwit a would-be burglar. It's overly complicated, and presents a riddle to anyone trying to access. Most obvious first choices attempted will bind up completely, but if you're familiar with the lock you can take it off and move it to other pockets without needing to retie it. Your solution is easier and simpler for daily life, but in crowded areas like airports if you're needing an added layer of security from humans; after securing all your zipper pairs with your single loops you can take a single line through all zipper loops from each bag pocket and secure it as much as needed.

[@hollowgetsuga425]

Great video very helpful, much love brother

[@chrisdemchalk3491]

I really like the video great to see practical applications of the knots. For those of us just learning the different knots it was helpful when you called out the formal names of the knots as that helped differentiate novel tying technique to an existing knot or a novel new knot!

[@frans9344]

thanks

[@dorklymorkly3290]

I wonder if you will one day live in a knot house. Thanks for all the work you're doing teaching everyone these useful things. No BS, just the things that matter. Stellar.

[@MrMcCoyD4]

This is awesome! Thanks for the vid. Some feedback - as someone not currently into knots, but wondering if I should learn some of these, it would've been nice to see the application of the knot before the walkthrough. Then I could decide for each knot if I wanted to see how it worked underneath and watch the walkthrough.

[@j.r7872]

EXCELLENT!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING!!!

[@TesserId]

Oh, that sheet bend tensioning trick is yummy. I could have used that many a time.

[@Trombonauta]

Great idea the little detail to make sheet bend or bowline adjustable! After tensioning you have the fast release option in addition, and you can also lock it tight if pulling from the fast release bigh to remove it.

[@theholypope]

thank you sir

[@SaturninePlaces]

the Sheet Bend and Clothesline both look very useful

[@furyberserk]

I like not tying as much as knitting and weaving because the spacial awareness is exceptional. I went to a museam with a display on southeast islands where I saw really detail intergrating objects just from the weaving and knots. Imagine a fan made out of rope. It's just astounding like learning a magic trick.

[@TesserId]

I like the straw trick. I've been using a short piece of scrap to make a loop to pull the end through, in case you don't happen to have a straw.

[@curbyourshi1056]

Excellent video.

[@Nunez87]

your pen thief knot looks a lot (almost identical except for how you tie it) as a spear knot when you want to tie something to a stick. I always do it by running some cord up the length of the stick, come back down again to where you start (3-4 inches/whatever) wrap it tight ish around the cord until you reach the "loop" you created in the beginning. Feed it through that and then you pull on the first part of the cord that's now tucked underneath the many wraps - pulling the end and loop tightly underneath the many wraps you made. I hope it makes sense and it really simplifies what you did without needing a straw.

[@oscarlove4394]

Thank you FCA, i recently got new sneakers with super thin anti-slip laces, they hold a knot great. Too great actually, so when i tie my usual knot its hard to undo and i have to pick at the knot. Its too tight to use the usuall pull and release. But using your sheet bend knot i can easily tie and untie my shoe, not to mention it looks pretty slick and distinctive. its great. Not to mention by pulling at the loop only i can let some pressure off without having to untie the whole knot. Although it does ruin the tucked laces look a little when i do that. this video is what introduced me to your channel and i've been hooked ever since. I dont really use rope a lot, but in hindsight there are loads of situations where rope could solve all my problems. I recently bought a bunch (spool?) of paracord and its been so convenient in my daily life.

[@kc3ppb]

[@mikhaelstibino]

nothing fancy about the knots, but the way you use them is incredibly smart! Thanks for the video!

DAMN! it took a long time to figure out the first one (the one for the bottle) but i did it, quite a challenge thanks!

OMG this channel is amazing! You're like the king of knots. That shoelace sheet bend is the binding knot I've needed every time I have to tie a rope around something and I wished I could cinch it tighter.

[@XiaolinDraconis]

I was going to make a front pocket card wallet, making a mess with glue and bits of plastic... That Spanish Bowline is the one.

[@patrickstrasser-mikhail6873]

Great as always. The list of knot names is important. Please add the time jump marks and if possible the ABOK numbers. What I really admire is that you find and show this knot application tricks like how to modify the sheet bend (missing in the list?) to allow tightening/self-locking. BTW, the glasses knot is known as the constrictor knot (not in ABOK afaik). Good way to knot it, but I would keep more of the loose end .

One of my favorites, that jug/jar sling (ABOK), but find it can be a pain to pull right, and I sometimes have to start over. Ashley tells a great anecdote about swinging a glass jug of kerosene around his head as he walked out of a store because the store owner tried to tell him it wouldn't be secure. Seriously, give that thing a good stout tug. Tightened down properly, it only gets tighter and won't come off.

[@newgunguy4176]

Yup. It's, basically, two opposing overhand knots intertwined and around the bottle.
