Tie Your Boots with the Surgeon's Knot

[@suebel100]

Thank you for this video. I just started wearing Thursday Captains last week. I love the boots, but I couldn’t walk for five minutes without my laces coming loose. I searched KZbin for how to tie boot laces, and found your video. Today I used the surgeon’s knot for the first time to tie my boots. I wore the boots today from 1:00 PM to 10:00PM, without the laces coming loose at all. Much obliged to you.

[@Roberto-tu5re]

Everytime I tie my boot laces I think of this video. Hope your good, miss your videos but above all have a great Christmas

[@weekendwanderer5514]

That’s really kind of you. More videos coming in 2024. Enjoy your Christmas and have a happy and healthy New Year!

I've always used DIY paracord laces, but never knew how to get the proper knot. This makes total sense and is a big help with the pain on "number two". Thank You for sharing this information.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Bradley Mann Once you start using it you'll never go back.

[@YaneMarieSleppy]

I teach students ages 3 to 80, and I always encourage their learning the surgeon's knot for shoe lace tying. It never occurred to me use the knot before applying laces to the hooks on hiking boots. Great idea! Cheers and thanks!

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Yané Marie Sleppy Thanks for watching!

[@jaarriaga1978]

Thanks a lot sir! Been using it for a couple weeks and has worked flawless! Your channel is definitely a must! Just wish you published more frequently

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Armando Arriaga Thank you for the kind words. The knot has never come undone in all the years I've been using it.

You know what really grinds my gears?? 😂

[@markushofer4874]

You always come up with very sensible ideas, also like the way you present them in such a relaxed way. Gtx form Austria

Markus Hofer Thank you my friend.

[@annaantu3866]

Thank you for that shoe-tying solution! My laces were driving me crazy. As for the poop bag problem, if someone took the time to bag it, that’s great. If it’s left on the side of the trail it probably means they’ll pick it up on their way back. That’s what I sometimes have to do when the trail doesn’t have litter cans along the way and I don’t want to carry poop along. Definitely don’t think it’s your problem. I’m grateful to just see folks bag it.

[@markhayes789]

My wife does that too!

[@BuildFaithWD]

I call it the boy scout knot... That's how I was taught it.

[@jeffparryncc1701]

Wait... What 🤔 People pick up dog poop in forest trails 😅😂😅😂 Great knot btw 😎

[@vaevictis9548]

Thanks for the help this video was really well made💯🔥

[@sprung5062]

you got a great thing going here , your channel is the opposite than the other survival channels, i like it a lot . I cant get enough of your vids and teachings good sir thank you !

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@Reloadeez]

I've worn my work boots like this for years, it's a double starting knot before first hook and after. I first started doing it on a pair of Carolinas that were giving me a tough break in.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

Excellent demo. Thank you so much. Looks very neat as well.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Wheels gone Wild Thanks Wheels

[@jackfranks7160]

How have I never known about this?! Always hated going downhill because my sweaty feet would slip towards the front. Can't wait to try it!

[@alienanxiety]

Thanks for the tips. As an aside, your voice sounds like Saul Goodman!

[@brigrills]

Will definitely be trying this before I go to work this morning Melv.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

BRI GRILLS Extremely simple but it works.

[@brigrills]

Weekend Wanderer Yes it does, I didn't have any loosening of my paracord bootlaces this morning.😃

[@weekendwanderer5514]

BRI GRILLS It prevents you from having to stop to tie your boot near a disgarded bag of dog waste.

[@brigrills]

Weekend Wanderer lol.🐕💩🐕💩

[@hughjanus3798]

I just relaced my boots with paracord. Great tip! Thanks.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Hugh Janus The knot works great with paracord.

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Great demo, going to give that a try! Cheers Alan

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Alan METALMAN Thanks Alan. Nothing more annoying than having to stop to fix a knot when you're wearing a backpack. This knot really works. I even use it on my office dress shoes! Stay well.

[@silverback1518]

I'm going to try both suggestions, the surgeon's knot....and leaving dogshit where it drops, out of courtesy.

[@vijeeshmenon1982]

Nice tutorial, Good looking boots too. I am going to apply this technique from now on. Thank you

[@weekendwanderer5514]

It works extremely well.

[@vijeeshmenon1982]

Yes it does !!!!! I've just reached home after a 10 hr long travel, by road, and was very pleased with the results. Never ones did they come undone. Thanks again. This piece of information turned out to be very helpful. My boots are "WOODLAND" btw.

[@jlomeli07]

Best Method for sure

[@JonZDisability]

well done sir! thank you for sharing with us :)

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Jon Z Thank you.

[@JonZDisability]

Weekend Wanderer welcome! I replaced my laces with 550 and always had this issue and thanks to you no more 😊

[@tonybaker55]

This is why bootlaces are always seemingly too long.

[@marcusphillida4326]

That was really easy, thanks for that tip man!

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Marcus Phillida It's a great knot.

[@SlayerRiley]

Cheers mister!

[@espariera3554]

Thanks for sharing.

[@tacticalyuzu8278]

I just bought a pair of similar boots last week but shoelaces kept coming undone. Now this should really help.

[@oldtechie6834]

This may be a great knot that you are tying but I have to stop watching because the shoe is upside down. This is not what I see when I look down at my boots.

[@fishsquishguy1833]

Turn your phone or tablet away from you. Problem solved.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Gideon knot is the best.

[@richszlama7496]

Gonna try this tomorrow with my work boots.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Rich Szlama Everyone I've shown it to loves it.

[@fathimanoorjahanmolfathima4091]

I am going to try it

[@tzweekendglouis6097]

I already subscribed to your channel

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

would you recommend having one side a little longer going in?

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Renaissance MarineTV That might work but I like symmetry, lol.

[@galleriecpv]

This is awesome! Thanks.

[@sosteve9113]

great video and demo, have a good 2017

[@weekendwanderer5514]

so steve Thank you Steve. Same to you.

[@davidnollmusic363]

thanks for the video. Very helpful!

[@ГеоргиКолев-ч2н]

What is the name of this shoe

[@weekendwanderer5514]

It was a Timberland boot, but I don't think they make this model anymore.

[@ssratiq]

Very helpful

[@MachizTV]

I respectfully submit that your bigger, and perhaps only, issue causing these laces to come untied is that you are using a granny knot. Had you been tying a square knot the problem would have been resolved. Start by switching which lace goes over / under and then tie as usual, you will find there is absolutely no need for any further knotting. The surgeons knot has Jerry Rigged your problem so it now works, as would melting the laces together, but it is not the best solution.

Nice. Thanks WW.

+John Kriski Thanks John.

[@clippertalk]

Cool I'm going to try it!

[@weekendwanderer5514]

American Bushcrafter It's easy and effective.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

learn the gibbons knot. but the way you lace you boot I was doing 50 years ago when I started climbing. but your knot may work a particular obnoxious pair of laces I have. or I could just get different laces. thanks.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

+Tim Barton It also works very well with dress shoes and any slippery material.

[@TheJulianga]

Nice tip. Hey, what's the model of those boots?

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Sorry, they were Timberland boots but I no longer remember which model.

[@meowpro2386]

My poor Dad did no how to tie his boots so I show this too my dad y then he nows how to tie his boots

[@garyungar501]

I have left bagged dog poop in an obvious place along the trail ONLY if my hike returns the same way.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

Unfortunately most people never return!

[@garyungar501]

Yes we are responsible for all we bring on the trail, including our pets. To leave poop is just. Poor manners.

[@shaunedwards4893]

I hate round shoes laces. Bring back the flat laces.

[@robertbrandywine]

Okay, but I have flat laces on the boots I wear most and a regular knot comes undone on those, too.

[@dalewalls7689]

Just tie a square knot instead of a granny and your knot will stay tied.

[@robertbrandywine]

Not for me, it doesn't. Sterner measures are required.

[@Stavrakasgr4]

thanks mate :)

[@ridesharebiz5317]

I put duct tape over the knot.

[@jroc01]

Gonna try this tonite b4 work,pain in the ass when I'm driving a forklift,wearing thermal gloves(in winter) while wearing a scanner on my finger and have to stop and take off all that shit and tie my boots then put back on my gloves an scanner.

[@weekendwanderer5514]

You'll be amazed at how well it works!

[@jimmylarge1148]

I hike all the trails in my area. I cannot tell u how many shit sacks I’ve encountered. Why even put it in a bag? So it doesn’t decompose as fast? Wtf. Countless shit sack fellas. I’ve made Facebook posts abt it tryin to understand the madness, to no avail. Is there a shit dairy that is supposed to come along and pick up the sacks? Ludicrous I tell you.

[@gunner2gunner]

If any of y’all that didn’t know this, please just stay home. Y’all have no business hiking, backpacking in nature. Y’all going to get yourself hurt, just stick to sidewalks.

[@dbtrackz33]

Shut up stupid, that’s why you’re here watching what you already know 😂

[@gunner2gunner]

@@dbtrackz33 did you just tell me to “shut up stupid?” I’v never heard of a stupid person retiring at age 38. While your dumb ass gets up every morning to go to work, I enjoy my peace and quiet of my 14th year of my retirement. I watch tons of videos just for the hell of it. So get the fuck off of KZbin and do the job your employer is paying you to do, well that’s if you actually have a job.
