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

@@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.

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.

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!

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!!

@pamestrada2823 7 жыл бұрын

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!!!

@bueukillustrator89 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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 ).

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.

Thank you. i can listen to your voice all day ;)

@danielleanderson6371 3 жыл бұрын

I started with a Celtic button knot and got a really nice, even-looking monkey's fist. The overhand knot is quicker and less fidgety, but if you've got the time and the extra length of paracord I think using a Celtic button gets you a much prettier monkey's fist.

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!

I would get out my forceps or tweezers to pull on the cord. It's more precise and controllable so you don't pull too hard when you start tightening things.
