I will have to give this a try at work. I try to teach the Electrical apprentices the importance of knot tieing. I don't think it sticks.

Hello. Can you make a video in wich you would use this type of knot? How would you use this and for what? I mean it looks very impressive but I don't know in what type of situation would I use it and why is it called a truckers knot? Thanks in advance. 👍🏻

Good video there bubba. One thing I would like to add about the trucker's knot is that, there is times where you might overtightened the knot just a bit ( I've done it myself many times) and you have a hard time getting it undone for the next use. Well here is a good trick to add to the knot, instead of a half twist use either full twist or one and a half twist. This will be able to allow the loop to grow as you pull tight. And when it comes time to release the knot and make it disappear, a light tug or jerk and it come out even when wet. I've been a trucker for twenty plus years and I've been using this knot for over fifteen years. Best knot I've ever learned. The second wrap in that trucker's knot is a good idea for most ropes but not all can handle the friction. Good luck. God bless and thank you for your service. Super Fi

Great comment Mr. 👏

Funny, my motto is "be concise"

Good advice most can't tie knots, I only do a few will practice more thanks

Totally agree with you, amazing how something so simple is so effective but often overlooked

Not sure I'd use it for "loads" though 🤔 Just saying. I do have about 10 other uses for it tho. 🙃

Right on! There's many, many videos to watch and many things to we want to learn how to do.

For real.

Indeed yeah

Have you been to "The Lockpicking Lawyer's" channel? Most of his videos are under 3 minutes, it's a real treat to see him struggle with a lock, but like Halloween, treats don't happen every day. :/

Cause they make mo money, A 34 second intro is a little ridiculous, everybody wanna be a Spielberg.

Orange is high vis in the field too. Great to help people not trip over tent lines. I actually had some glow in the dark cordage. Nice idea but the cord was too fluffy for in the woods.🤗

I'm colour blind.

@@hedleylamarr7283 For your own safety and well being I advise that you NOT go camping and stay completely away from para cords as they may harm you.

@@rfruss Exactly. Nothing worse than falling over them and spilling all that beer in your right hand.

@@laaaliiiluuu second lesson never spill the brew!

Bungee cords are nothing but stress causing garbage. I can't stand seeing things that people tie down with bungees. I literally only use them to keep cooler lids from flying off going down the highway in the bed of my truck🤙

If they had a use for it, they'd care. Find a use first and they'll learn the knots on their own

I found this channel after needing to know how to tie a knot to fix something, so I can +1 the "give them a reason to learn" argument.

I found a lot of nautical-minded people and ex-navy people get interested in knots.

What is this knot used for?

My kids don't even cut the grass, let alone learning knots, interest of these I phone generation is hard to understand.

"I ain't no SIR, I'm a corporal. I work for a living"

@@lobsterlou8538 ah the memories ha ha

Old way rocks 🤘

It would also be useful for people with hand strength, but with cold hands... I will definitely try to remember this tip.

I can relate. If there's no story about a rabbit coming out of a hole, I'm kind of lost. And when I try to follow the pics in knot books, I usually end up with a hopeless tangle. For me these videos have been a game changer. I can watch and pause, pause and watch, until I get it right. Then practice, practice, practice. Still, if I'm going to retain this stuff, I'll need to come up with a mnemonic device. What I catch myself doing now is repeating the words of the instructor in the video. After a lapse in time, I won't remember, and I'll be back to square one. I need to come up with my own rabbit stories. Anyway, I hope your camping trip went well.

Papa Bear> I agree! If all instructors had his level of competence, we would have the best educational system, instead of the sorry mess we have now. That was very useful info, presented well.

That’s the real trick.

Another effective knot for shoes/boots, which can be combined with yours (both are variations on the "surgeon's knot"), is to form loops in both ends, as with the "bunny ears" method, but to pass *both* loops through the knot from opposite sides. It does tend to result in a lot of wear from increased friction, but with typical boot laces I find that this tends to make the knot more secure as they get "fuzzy".

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who ties their boot laces like that, and like you I swear by it

Ha. The shoelace double wrap. The only thing my piece of shit father ever taught me 😆

Been tying my shoes like that for years! I get a lot of weird looks for doing it, but I just smile every time I see someone have to stop and retie their shoes as I walk right on by.

I can't work out if it's the same, but I have been tying my boots with what I call the figure of eight, a double half-hitch followed by the usual bunnies ears. the double half hitch wrapped over the tongue prevents any strain coming from that side, and as you say, there is just a simple pull to release.

Is there a video on how you do this? I'm confused.

Irames Lisboa agreed

Great site l learn something
