Live the simplicity! Canadian-jam knot is a great alternative and holds that tension tight! Here's a tip for anyone watching if you haven't already figured it out: lay your rope out first (make it as long as you want) and then lay your bundle on top and you won't have to wrestle a big bulky bundle of crap. (It's almost a must for bundling up storm debris.)
Great tip. I’ve not done it yet but putting rods in a y shaped holder off the ground helps too.
I’ll have a look at the knot you recommend.
Thanks Darren
Here's a helpful video, just to show that almighty Jam knot! Two overhand knots and done..ua-cam.com/video/t7ZfFNcqkqc/v-deo.htmlsi=xhuy3LN3ZZZlv86x
@@AbellTo Can't you find a better rope instead of some cheap shit string
@@moseskongi4746 this is natural sisal string that generally has a single use so as to get the product to the end user. But I’m sure you can use whatever works for you
Right to the point.. thanks for not veering off track. I'm going to use this method for my kindling bundles.. thanks
Thanks so much.
Love the knife!
Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for!
brilliant I hope it helps you, I use it every day
Well thank you very much
You are very welcome
Excellent knot and video!
Thanks so much
Excellent. Yes I agree figure of eight butchers Knot .
Great technique!! I found that using an anchor knot for the first knot that goes around the other side of the string holds much better. You can pull on it as hard as you can to tighten the bundle and it doesn’t come loose
I was so intrigued by what you posted I had to go have a look and I’ve tried it, must admit I’m a bit fingers and thumbs with it but I can see as a first knot it’s very good, thanks so much, I’m going to roadtest this a bit more!
Yeah it is a little harder/takes longer but I was using a slippery paracord type string and the regular overhand knot didn’t hold good enough for how tight I was pulling. I was also bundling firewood to sell. Thanks for the video! The technique is amazing for selling firewood.
@@ozarkmountainziplines I’ve been practicing the anchor, very nice and thanks again for recommending
Nice, I've been trying to do knots each morning with the children. Will have to try this one.
Thank you,
Super helpful, thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks! I tried to bundle sticks for the first time and failed miserably.
I had to carry them all awkward.
😊
Ah, thanks for watching and having a go, maybe a few more try’s and you’ll master it. All the best
Thank you!
You’re most welcome, thanks for watching and commenting
Otherwise known as the butcher's knot. You are correct sir.
That’s what I thought, thanks so much for watching
thank you, I’ll use this at my allotment. Jenny
Excellent thanks so much for watching.

What material was used historically? Would the knots on wood have been thin stringy willow ends?
Great question. The bundles would have been tied with willow or sometimes hazel sun shoots. Often whatever that was to hand and didn’t have to be purchased.
Nice knife
Fiskars is a good brand. Every finnish house has Fiskars axe, scissors and also often this "vesuri" billhook.
Thank you for a great little tutorial!!
I’ve been collecting a lot more this season and this’ll come in really handy because at the moment I’ve just been using small bits of willow or hazel.
Am I correct to say this wouldn’t I tie very easily?
Would there be a way to get it to untie easily so that the string can be re-used?
Thanks so much, as for untying maybe a different knot would work better. Let me know what you find, I’d like to know too.
Regards Darren
@@AbellTo The general way I tie bundles is just to wrap the willow/ hazel/ honeysuckle (basically anything to hand that’s pliable) around itself multiple times until it holds tight.
It’s not the strongest but will do the job for small periods, plus the wrapping materials can also be soaked and used again if you’re using it for weaving.
I’ve got a visual example in my recent video ‘how I prepare and store natural materials’, which I’d be interested to see your thoughts on as I’m a beginner with most things in this area
@@agreatalternative that’s the traditional way I’ll swing over and take a look, thanks
Great channel mate, I’ve subbed, your films are superb, I’ll delve a bit more into your channel.
Regards Darren
@@AbellTo Cheers Darren 👍
I’m subbed to you too, got a bunch of videos to watch before I head back out into the woods 😁
Just posted a vid on trimming out bean rods and put in a link to this vid. Mentioned you in the blurb and your vids on 'modern' coppice products. Hope you don't mind.
ill take a look thanks so much
That's one way to do it. But you can never use that string again. Better to put a couple of quick release loops in. Still secure and can be reused. But if you don't need to then go with the video.
Admittedly yes it’s pretty much single use which works for me.
Thanks for watching
Well just a small point but you could go to a farm and get plastic bailer twine that’s already been used and cut from the bale . In which case you are reusing plastic that already exists not creating more . I haven’t seen sisal used on bales for decades
I’m all for reusing. Good idea. My only concern is where will this plastic stuff end up, sadly some even with admirable intentions leave it in the countryside. At least if that happens with sisal it’s a natural fibre that rots away
@@AbellTo I have a love-hate relationship with plastic baling twine. It's great stuff in that it's so strong, but over time it still starts to fray and disintegrate, no doubt leaving microplastics in its wake. I think you're right to stick with a natural fibre.
@@thepandaman I used to work on a farm and plastic baler is very useful but as the old farmer used to say, always tidy up since plastic baler twine in a bearing is bearing death
There is no point of using this knot instead of trucker's hitch auto locking version or at least the taut line hitch or farrimond hitch even. Maybe unless you use natural materials like grass or willow etc to tie which are fragile?
I’ll check those out, if what you have works well then that sounds good.
Thanks
yep, a butchers knot.
Perfect thanks.
Regards Darren
Stupid knot. How do you loosen it?
👍🏻
Веревку портишь и узел невозможно развязать после этого!
The string can be reused and often is by the Hedgelayers. You’re correct saying the knot cannot really be undone but cutting next to the knot we can reuse for other tying tasks.
