Thanks excellent teaching technique I have a hard time understanding and learning how to tie knots, I watched and listened to you and within a few minutes it came to me. Thanks again.
That's because it's not a trucker's hitch! A "trucker's hitch" is a pulley system to tighten a line. What he ties leaves out the mechanical advantage tightening a line. He is tying a slip knot (admittedly often used in a trucker's hitch) and using it as a binding knot. Same tie off as with the trucker's hitch but not the trucker's hitch.
I was a flipping boy scout and now an electrician who uses knots on jobsites on the regular and I NEVER knew the trick about quickly releasing the square knot. When you did that, I stared at my phone and said out loud, "well shit..." Also, the button idea is pretty smart too. Really enjoyed the video!
just packed my hammock and tarp at our garden, practicing the hanging in freezing conditions. Phrase "well, shit..." used cca 5times during the video 😀
Hahaha! Glad you like it and I think it's great that you are giving your kids lessons on this. I'll make some videos on survival kits, sleeping pad reviews etc. What would you like to see?
Love that Daisy Chain.I have seen someone also use it for electrical cables, but I hadn't considered using it for cordage. I will have to practice that Snap Bowline. But the quick release for the Square Knot was a fantastic tip.
I just used a truckers hitch to secure concrete blanket rolls on a pore that I had. I used the common dry line used by many carpenters. I use a “daisy chain” to store my electrical cords so they are not twisted. Thanks for the info! .
Very good video clear directions with just the right amount of detail without padding it out I have used knots all my life and still picked up some good tips Well done
Ive had wind tear off so many gromins on different things one being my hunting blind and it was to the point i couldnt tie it down properly. But u showed me the light thank u. U saved me buying a new one thats great.
Great video for tying knots. Very easy to follow. Great refresher for me. I notice you are a Casio fan as well. I saw 2 different watches you wear throughout your videos. Both of which I own as well. can't beat 'em.
Thank you so much for your informative video it was so simple I shared it with my wife and she’s now interested in tying knots I’m a little worried right now. Lol
Fantastic video. Excellent teacher and great to listen to/learn from! Nice trick on the bowline. That's one I hadn't seen before. Really like your daisy-chain cordage method and the practical idea of the 5' and 10' lengths. Brother, keep up the amazing work. Have a great day!
At 5:40 when tightening the trucker's hitch, you can prevent the loss of tension in the knot and eliminate the need to grip the knot strongly while tying the slip knot, if you coil a second time through the loop. The same way as you would when tying a tautline hitch. This creates an "autostop" and makes the trucker's hitch much easier to tie.
Thank you! I've done it sometimes but don't prefer to use it often because of binding and wearing out the cordage, it's a great use for other applications though!
Re-learning knots since I'm trying to get myself back into outdoor activities again and it's been over 20 years since I was in Boy Scouts and OMFG if my leader taught me the method you showed for a bowline my life would have been a lot easier. It's _so_much_faster_ than the way my scout master taught all of us. I always had issues with wrapping my head around some knots but your methods are definitely better than when I learned these knots as a child. THANKS! Any people wanting to become scout masters should definitely check you out! Your explanations of how the knots work as well as how to handle the rope is also a massively helpful difference versus how I was taught (ex.: pinch here, not here).
Thank you Hydra! I was in the same boat being taught in Scouts, it was more difficult to wrap my head around the other rabbit hole method and later I was taught this way in survival training. Efficiency becomes important the more you go out and use these, again THANK YOU and glad you are getting back into it!
@@SurvivalSchoolHouse In scouts I found the bowline relatively easy to tie. The Rabbit hole made sense to me. However, as a scoutmaster I'm finding many kids can't grasp this instruction. I'm going to try teaching it your way. I hope they find it easier. Thanks for the video.
It seems to me that the ways of tying knots were not optimized twenty years ago. I don't want to say that they were absent or were secret knowledge. People have been knitting knots for thousands of years, and all imaginable methods have long been known. But computer networks (UA-cam and the like) make it possible to speed up the exchange of people's experiences thousands of times, and quantity eventually turns into quality. My thanks to the author of the video, although I am not a beginner, but I spied a couple of tricks for myself.
This should be a period of instruction during Army Basic training. I did not learn these knots until Ranger school. 550 cord comes in cardboard spools that will always fall apart like toilet paper once wet. Then there’s always the poor Soldier that has to un tangle it all. The 5x 5 ft and 5 x 10ft is so effective!
Fantastic video. Excellent teacher and great to listen to/learn from! Nice trick on the bowline. That's one I hadn't seen before. Really like your daisy-chain cordage method and the practical idea of the 5' and 10' lengths. Brother, keep up the amazing work. Have a great day!
Thank you Andy! I like the bowline trick as well, we already tie slipknots all the time and it is just a quick addition and easier to understand. Have a great day as well!
5:02 does it matter if I put the running end in the slip knot from right side or left side? They're definitely different, but does it matter? How to know which way is correct?
Great video and good tip on the bowline knot! I would only add showing how to make a slip knot in the body of the rope when doing a trucker hitch. Make getting things tight really easy! Great video
@@SurvivalSchoolHouse Would depend on the length of rope? I'm partial to the classic throw coil with a wrap and locked bite. But it's not NEARLY as much fun to undo haha
I would do something different like you are doing for a long coil, using long ropes for survival is more of a hindrance, short lengths are all you need and a daisy chain is the best for that
Please forgive the question but I am here primarily for the knots and I am a complete noob when it comes to outdoors stuff. But how do you use the shelter you just made? It looks as if even if it rained you would still get wet lying under it. Again I am completely new to this. Thank you.
You could get wet depending on the wind, move the shelter lower to the ground and worm in there, orient the opening 90 degrees to the prevailing wind so rain won't come into the sides. The poncho is fairly small but the same principles can work with any shelter, thank you for the comment!
1. Best way is to orient your shelter 90 degrees to the prevailing wind and make it low enough to keep the rain from coming under the edge. 2. Change shelter design due to conditions. 3. Improvise walls which takes more time than above options. Once shelter is up, and the floor is protected from settling water, the ground drains over several hours. We need a ground barrier of plastic or natural materials for wicking protection. Thank you for the question!
@@SurvivalSchoolHouse I toed a prusik loop and put my body weight bouncing up and down! Lol. On my chin up bar. It held unbelievable. I thought it was going to break!!! I'm 94 kg and it didn't budge. I wouldn't trust up high. But it's awesome for clothes line especially if you coat it in Elmers glue! Soaks in and goes really stiff! Thanks for the reply! 🙂👍👍👍
@@SurvivalSchoolHouse it's pva and water, it actually holds up in rain too. I saw it on a UA-cam video on a decorative lantern made out of rope. The guy claimed 1 year in the weather! And UK it's always raining. Lol.
Great tip for long term use, we have left paracord tied up on log benches or other light "structural" applications for 3 years without much degradation, at least visually, we didn't collapse lol.
wow thanks v useful bud will be practising and subbed! q: do you prefer tying out a tarp like you did, versus a ridge line? is there loss of tension consideration there?
Yes, definitely prefer to tie a tarp that way, the only consideration is knowing how tough the material is. Weak material = less tension, a ridge line helps in those situations.
I'll agree with others, your reaching style is excellent. I only have one tip. Clove hitch is a great anchor. But it shouldn't be the last knot to finish it off. It should be the first. As it is easier to tie before there is tension in the line. And the truckers hitch adds tension. Anchor with clove... gives you something to pull against. Truckers hitch tightens it up. Both ways work, of course. But the other gives a beginner complete control of the amount of tension and easier to tie.
I love your videos, I never knew that the square knot would release like that. thank you - just a minor suggestion, it would be a lot easier for beginners to follow along if you recorded facing out instead of from in front of you. I got lost a lot as I had to envision doing everything flipped instead of just being able to follow. Thank you for your videos you are an awesome teacher!
Awesome video, but didn’t understand when a « truck knot » (rope holding on itself) is better or when the « X like knot » (that friction knot) is better to use? Is it depending on wheather the tree you’re using gives of friction with your rope?
The truckers hitch is better when the tree is larger and gives you room to tie the knot and is faster. The clove hitch is better with smaller diameter objects like a small branch and is easier to tie, it has more holding power if it has friction as well.
The method that I use works with any cordage and does not require any "snap backs". With your left hand pinch the line about twelve inches from the end where you want your bowline loop. With your right hand, make a small loop by twisting the working line, next to your left hand clockwise. Your working end will now be about ten inches long. Pass the end up through the small loop and leave a loop about three inches in diameter. That loop will be the bowline loop. Now, pass the working end under the left side of the standing line and down through the small loop. Pinch the small end to the bowline loop and pull the standing line. Done. If you go the right side of the standing line instead of the left, the working end will be outside of the bowline loop which, as far as I know, is not a problem.
The Daisy Chain is the same thing they use to sew dog food bags closed...and I always screw up undoing it and end up cutting the top of the bag with a knife or scissors.
The Square knot should never be used as a bend -- tying two lines together -- even if the same size. Ashley of the Ashley Book of Knots states that when used as a bend it is responsible for more deaths and injuries than all other knots combined. Thank you for teaching the slip-knot bowline.
I agree that the square knot should not be used in high risk situations such as rock climbing, we use it for shelters and simple survival cordage so it is the easiest to tie and untie for line joinery. Appreciate your education to us on the matter!
@@SurvivalSchoolHouse The sheet bend is more secure and as easy to tie. The reef/square knot is a binding knot, not a bend. While you might not use it for vital things you have not told any of your viewers that they shouldn't. The Zepplin bend is also an easy to tie bend which is very secure.
@ Survival School House with Zoe's comment in mind, please be sure to also to inform all viewers that these knots are not to be tied around their necks. If you don't tell them not to, they might make assumptions! 🤷
@@AG-fl3sr Why would you think those are remotely similar? Everyone knows that tying a rope around a neck is extremely dangerous. Not everyone is going to understand that different knots have substantially different strengths and most people know how to tie that one knot the best, therefore it would be the "go to" knot for many people to tie. Also, the ability to climb, at least a minimal amount, should be part of anyone's survival knowledge. Smart-ass...
Really clear explanation of the knots, the bright colored line makes it easy to see on camera, great job !!!
Thank you David!
Indeed.
Thanks excellent teaching technique I have a hard time understanding and learning how to tie knots, I watched and listened to you and within a few minutes it came to me. Thanks again.
I love that slip knot into bowline trick! Thanks!
You bet! It’s an effective way to go
That was the least complicated and easiest to remember way to tie a Truckers Knot that I've ever seen! Excellent video!
Thank you! Glad it helped

I love knitting knots, I'll go practice knitting these knots. Thank you for the video.
I like the trick for the snap bowline, a simple knot made even faster
Thank you! It's easier and less likely to mess up than remembering up and around the hole etc...
I was a flipping boy scout and now an electrician who uses knots on jobsites on the regular and I NEVER knew the trick about quickly releasing the square knot. When you did that, I stared at my phone and said out loud, "well shit..."
Also, the button idea is pretty smart too. Really enjoyed the video!
LOL! Glad you enjoyed the video, I was a Boy Scout as well and I didn't learn it either.
just packed my hammock and tarp at our garden, practicing the hanging in freezing conditions. Phrase "well, shit..." used cca 5times during the video 😀
So glad I found you. We will be doing a lesson a week with my four homeschool kids!
Probably not the coyote quiver though 😅
Hahaha! Glad you like it and I think it's great that you are giving your kids lessons on this. I'll make some videos on survival kits, sleeping pad reviews etc. What would you like to see?
This guy is really good!! Love the bird beak application! Everything spins off it & makes the bowline so versatile!! Outstanding!!!
You did a great job! Helped me “expand” my list of knots I’m comfortable with!
no-nonsense video ...loved it ... especially the storage system. 👍
Thanks a lot 😊, the daisy chain is the heat!
Great tutorial, thanks very much! I finally understand the truckers hitch. 😊
The Daisy chain is kind of ĺike basic crocheting without a needle.
Daisy chain is exactly that haha
Really like your teaching style on some of the knots made it simpler for me to remember...great video
Thank you! They work great for so many situations.
Definitely a SERE guy
For sure! 02-02.
have never seen the way you tied the bowline but that is the way im doing it from now on. thx
Appreciate it! It’s great when you don’t have to think about which way the rabbit goes around the tree
Awsome video. Talk about versatility. Turning a poncho into a tent and grip for no eyelets/ gromets. . Thankyou.
Thank you!
much easier to understand and memorise than other channels. well done
Thank you Des Oishii! Good times

The way you teach the bowline is very intuitive, I was struggling with this knot and now it's easy. Thanks!
Hell yeah brother
Ive had wind tear off so many gromins on different things one being my hunting blind and it was to the point i couldnt tie it down properly. But u showed me the light thank u. U saved me buying a new one thats great.
Glad it has helped, when a grommet is gone tie a button!
Great video for tying knots. Very easy to follow. Great refresher for me.
I notice you are a Casio fan as well. I saw 2 different watches you wear throughout your videos. Both of which I own as well. can't beat 'em.
Good price and durability for those watches
Thanks, now I can use a bunch of different ties rather than the regular knots XD. Amazing!
Great! Glad it helped
Thank you so much for your informative video it was so simple I shared it with my wife and she’s now interested in tying knots I’m a little worried right now. Lol
Lol! Glad you both might have something to bond or argue over
Times have really changed. I thought this was common knowledge. I'm 65. I learned all these knots on the farm and boy scouts.
The world is changing and everyone is trying to adapt! So drastic....
From one fellow boy scout to another.
I'm going to use your suggestion on lengths or cord and daisy chain storage with my Scout Troop. Great video. Thanks
It will work with your outings for sure!
The Bowline is cool too I’ve never seen a knot so simple to tie!
It's a great knot because it's so easy to untie as well, even when it is frozen in the winter.
Fantastic video.
Excellent teacher and great to listen to/learn from!

No taut line hitch??? Learned a lot here, but surprised not to see that one...always been my #1 favourite for tarps
I agree, it is good for tarps but I use the truckers or clove hitch instead, it holds tighter when the wind flaps all night

very frank and open sharing , excellent
Many thanks!
Tie off the stake lines with a clove hitch and not a taught line? It works I reckon
Taut line works great but I feel in constant wind the clove hitch is more secure.
Awesome video, but didn’t understand when a « truck knot » (rope holding on itself) is better or when the « X like knot » (that friction knot) is better to use?
Is it depending on wheather the tree you’re using gives of friction with your rope?
The truckers hitch is better when the tree is larger and gives you room to tie the knot and is faster. The clove hitch is better with smaller diameter objects like a small branch and is easier to tie, it has more holding power if it has friction as well.
Thx for the answer, was not expecting one on a video of 1 year old. And so fast too😅

Right! Zip ties and baling wire can get anything done haha, thank you for the comment!

Hahaha, and duct tape for sure.
One cord is a 550 one. What is the other one? Thanks in advance for your response.
They are both 550 cord of different colors, or parachute cord (paracord) as it’s called.
Thanks for this - much more practical than those studio based videos. I like the whole tarp demo at the end too.
Appreciate it! It's no joke that I use those knots every day out in the field. Quick releases are so nice, especially in the winter.
Outstanding!

I agree that the square knot should not be used in high risk situations such as rock climbing, we use it for shelters and simple survival cordage so it is the easiest to tie and untie for line joinery. Appreciate your education to us on the matter!
@@SurvivalSchoolHouse The sheet bend is more secure and as easy to tie. The reef/square knot is a binding knot, not a bend. While you might not use it for vital things you have not told any of your viewers that they shouldn't. The Zepplin bend is also an easy to tie bend which is very secure.
@ Survival School House with Zoe's comment in mind, please be sure to also to inform all viewers that these knots are not to be tied around their necks. If you don't tell them not to, they might make assumptions! 🤷
Also, incase anyone was unaware, this video is on Survival School House's page....not on Climbing School House's page.
@@AG-fl3sr Why would you think those are remotely similar? Everyone knows that tying a rope around a neck is extremely dangerous. Not everyone is going to understand that different knots have substantially different strengths and most people know how to tie that one knot the best, therefore it would be the "go to" knot for many people to tie.
Also, the ability to climb, at least a minimal amount, should be part of anyone's survival knowledge. Smart-ass...
THANK YOU! This video helps so much!
Glad it helped! They are difficult to forget once you know them!
Great instructional!
Thank you! Glad it helped.
I am teaching an outdoor adventure class and I am getting supplies, what is the diameter difference in the two lines
There is no diameter difference between the 2 pieces of 550 cord, is that what you are asking?
Very good ,understandable explanations, thanx!
