Keep these knots in mind when your hiking, camping, on vacation, or at the office. Thanks! - Навчання та стиль
That first segment, the bottle knot, was the clearest demonstration of the jug-sling hitch I've ever seen. I've tied that knot before, but I've never been able to memorize it- always had to have a book open in front of me. But I think I'll be able to learn it now. Thanks!
I completely agree!
It looks like the Jug-sling knot from Ashley. I love that knot, but somehow have a completely different was of putting it together. It was fascinating to see his way, which is probably the better way! Anyone who every carries a water bottle should know this knot!
Nah, you'll never memorize it. Just bookmark the video.
Started real strong with my favorite knot, then each new one was more clever than the last. I don't think I've seen the versatackle demonstrated so brilliantly.
I watched so many knots video, but I am speechless when I see this, the process is so cleverly different and showing the application makes me reach for my knots and follow through the video, I downloaded the video and now I have all these knots at home that I refreshes everyday with the video to build hand memory … Great job FCA!!
I love the tackle knot! I discovered it on my own a few years ago and I use it all the time. It can also be created by using any other loop knots such as a bowline.
It's amazing to me to see people who can memorize these.
I've tried picking one knot and trying to practice and work with it to get it memorized and unless i do it every day, within a short period or will just vanish from my mind.
Yet i know so many other random things that i can recall after years that are totally abstract, with none of the visual pattern physicality of things like knots.
7:51 that is a brilliant knot!! I paused the video and made one immediately. I might be able to use that at work. Thanks.
I always wanted to go the boy scouts just to learn about how to tie things professionally thanks now watching your program helps a lot.
Thanks for this. These look useful. One note: @1:03, the zipper lock. That knot was impressive, but another nearly always overlooked solution, though not unpickable, is right in front of you.
On bags with the zipper loops like that, you really only need one of the two string sections already there to secure it from accidentally coming sliding open. 1) Take the un-knotted end of the string and push it through the metal hole in the other zipper. 2) Then pull the loop coming through the zipper hole over the knot on the same string. Voila! It's locked! ... I've never seen this demonstrated and can't find documentation of this at all, but it seems clear that it was part of the original design. The strings I've tried are the ideal length for this. Most backpacks used to have just one string on those two zippers, and I never understood why. So, I sat down one day and just started playing with it. Pushing the loop instead of the knot through the zipper hole was counter-intuitive for me, but once I did that, it all fell into place. Now it seems like the original purpose has been lost. The second string can actually get in the way, and I'm guessing some strings are now too short or long for this to work correctly.
That is a great way to secure the zippers together, quick easy and secure. But I believe the purpose of the knot in the video is to outwit a would-be burglar. It's overly complicated, and presents a riddle to anyone trying to access. Most obvious first choices attempted will bind up completely, but if you're familiar with the lock you can take it off and move it to other pockets without needing to retie it.
Your solution is easier and simpler for daily life, but in crowded areas like airports if you're needing an added layer of security from humans; after securing all your zipper pairs with your single loops you can take a single line through all zipper loops from each bag pocket and secure it as much as needed.
Thieves have knives! 😒
Great idea the little detail to make sheet bend or bowline adjustable! After tensioning you have the fast release option in addition, and you can also lock it tight if pulling from the fast release bigh to remove it.
I like not tying as much as knitting and weaving because the spacial awareness is exceptional. I went to a museam with a display on southeast islands where I saw really detail intergrating objects just from the weaving and knots. Imagine a fan made out of rope. It's just astounding like learning a magic trick.
Feels like the Bob Ross of Knots for me :D
You have a real talent for describing the steps of these knots. Thank you for this video.
Hey thanks! It’s not uncommon for me to have to repeat some sentences 20 or 30 times before the terminology comes out right along with the rope cooperating. Practice!
Thank you FCA, i recently got new sneakers with super thin anti-slip laces, they hold a knot great. Too great actually, so when i tie my usual knot its hard to undo and i have to pick at the knot. Its too tight to use the usuall pull and release.
But using your sheet bend knot i can easily tie and untie my shoe, not to mention it looks pretty slick and distinctive. its great. Not to mention by pulling at the loop only i can let some pressure off without having to untie the whole knot. Although it does ruin the tucked laces look a little when i do that.
this video is what introduced me to your channel and i've been hooked ever since. I dont really use rope a lot, but in hindsight there are loads of situations where rope could solve all my problems. I recently bought a bunch (spool?) of paracord and its been so convenient in my daily life.
13:12 thank you for the diamond knot 😊 love it.
Very easy to follow, thank you!
How'd this get looped into my algorithm? They roped me in again!🤣
OMG this channel is amazing! You're like the king of knots. That shoelace sheet bend is the binding knot I've needed every time I have to tie a rope around something and I wished I could cinch it tighter.
This is awesome! Thanks for the vid. Some feedback - as someone not currently into knots, but wondering if I should learn some of these, it would've been nice to see the application of the knot before the walkthrough. Then I could decide for each knot if I wanted to see how it worked underneath and watch the walkthrough.
This was wayyyyyyyyyy better that that channel called 5 min craft
No bs nothing
Stuffed with actually useful things great work 👍
I like the straw trick. I've been using a short piece of scrap to make a loop to pull the end through, in case you don't happen to have a straw.
EXCELLENT!!!
THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING!!!
Very well demonstrated.
Many thanks. 👍
Best knot applications I've ever seen!
One of my favorites, that jug/jar sling (ABOK), but find it can be a pain to pull right, and I sometimes have to start over. Ashley tells a great anecdote about swinging a glass jug of kerosene around his head as he walked out of a store because the store owner tried to tell him it wouldn't be secure. Seriously, give that thing a good stout tug. Tightened down properly, it only gets tighter and won't come off.
Yup. It's, basically, two opposing overhand knots intertwined and around the bottle.
You are amazing at not only explaining how to do the knots but also giving us most usable ideas for said knot 🌹💋🤗👌👍👏
👍🏻 nice collection, nicely demonstrated. Thanks!
Cheers UA-cam algorithm. *starts tying pillow cases together*

Knot joking, im glad i found some string. Im always a decade late but i have fun. Lol. Currently inventing the Insomniacs double-loop birdsnest.
Lmao
your pen thief knot looks a lot (almost identical except for how you tie it) as a spear knot when you want to tie something to a stick.
I always do it by running some cord up the length of the stick, come back down again to where you start (3-4 inches/whatever) wrap it tight ish around the cord until you reach the "loop" you created in the beginning. Feed it through that and then you pull on the first part of the cord that's now tucked underneath the many wraps - pulling the end and loop tightly underneath the many wraps you made.
I hope it makes sense and it really simplifies what you did without needing a straw.
Thanks for the helpful video, I'll go practice knitting knots. Welcome:)
The phone tether is great. Definitely gonna make these for my oblivious family members who pull out their phones in sketchy areas
Thanks a lot! Perfect demo.
Oh, that sheet bend tensioning trick is yummy. I could have used that many a time.
Very cool but very complicated.
the Sheet Bend and Clothesline both look very useful
Very nice collection of knots, not the boring stuff usually found on YT. Thanks for demos.
I wonder if you will one day live in a knot house.
Thanks for all the work you're doing teaching everyone these useful things. No BS, just the things that matter. Stellar.
Awesome. Thank you very much.
I like this kind of knots this helps me a lot
Great video very helpful, much love brother
1. Anyone who has a Postmodern Jukebox t-shirt is a good person.
2. Thank you for having the names of the knows in the descripiton.
Aloha Brent, I watched (and learned) your truckers hitch that keeps its tension! Man U get skeelz! I needed that ..NEEEEDED! Since then I've wanted to figure out how to apply that concept to more applications...Came up with some akward semi functional tensioning clumps! I dont know why I didnt just look here in the first place...The quick release sheetbend
IS the juice! You discovered or created the self locking truckers hitch ya? however it goes,
YOU ARE a definite asset in the toolbox of man/people! Appreciate your effort...Mahalos.
Johnny
Thanks Johnny. I appreciate the kind words.
And for the fisherman's loop for your keys and similar things, it is much easier to just use a prusik knot with two loops. You can equally tie it to your belt and it is much easier to wrap, while it is at least as secure and easier to unwrap afterwards if need be. This is just preference but imo many of these knots are made too convoluted, there are many easier alternatives for most of these knots. Except the phone lanyard, that's a neat use for the cow hitch I'll be using, so thank you kindly for that one ;)
Merci monsieur pour votre vidéo j'adore
Shoelace Sheet bend (Sheet Bend) - cool!!! thks
This is truely magical.
This video is amazing! Shockingly I didn’t realise role was so useful as I only know a couple of knots
Been fighting a pair of shorts for a year! Today marks the beginning of an era for those who wish Ill towards our wardrobe.
Likes postmodern jukebox! Awesome!
wow this guy is so good. just imagine how good he will be when he becomes first class professional.
Cool stuff! I use that same tackle on my tarp ridgeline. One end of the rope has a bowline which wraps around a tree and capture the standing line with a toggle, the at the end I do a directional figure 8 (figure 9 some call it), pass a bite through that fig 9 and then do that tackle you demonstrate!
Mad Skilles Brother !!!
This is just amazing !! Thanks 🙏
@11:20 Very nice! Great tensioning knot! Thanks again for all your hard work. (Love your channel.)
Thanks!
9:29 love the Postmodern Jukebox T-shirt!
I'm absolutely impressed by your knowledge and great descriptions. Awesome content, brotha!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for this great video. It was a blast and the knots are really usefull. Perfectly shown so that one can follow and learn. Great.
Awesome, awesome knots. I find them a little difficult. Would take a lot of practice for me.
Wow. Useful and impressive knots! explanation on point and clear!
Phenomenal !
Man, that was dope! I know A LOT of knots, but 80% of them were new to me! Really good stuff!
I really like the video great to see practical applications of the knots. For those of us just learning the different knots it was helpful when you called out the formal names of the knots as that helped differentiate novel tying technique to an existing knot or a novel new knot!
great video, nice teaching style. Thanks!
Great as always. The list of knot names is important. Please add the time jump marks and if possible the ABOK numbers.
What I really admire is that you find and show this knot application tricks like how to modify the sheet bend (missing in the list?) to allow tightening/self-locking.
BTW, the glasses knot is known as the constrictor knot (not in ABOK afaik). Good way to knot it, but I would keep more of the loose end .
Thanks for the comment. I added the jump marks and the names of the knots to the description. I appreciate the kind words. Brent
@@First_Class_Amateur You rock! Thank you for adding those extra details!
Constrictor Knot is ABOK 1249 (pg. 224)
@@First_Class_Amateur
Thanks!!
DAMN! it took a long time to figure out the first one (the one for the bottle) but i did it, quite a challenge thanks!
It's also known as the jug sling hitch, ABOK 1142. Extremely useful and pretty knot.
Great friend 💯
You have the best hitch teach
Gracias aprendí mucho.
THANKYOU!!!
Some of these blew my mind
This is all so amazing!
thank you sir
these knots are so useful but needs a lot of practice to remember.
I was going to make a front pocket card wallet, making a mess with glue and bits of plastic... That Spanish Bowline is the one.
Very good and useful knots, thanks.
Just last night I was figuring out tying a judo belt. It's not complicated but there's a couple of methods as well and some hold better throughout the fight. The difficulty is the flat and wide tough fabric, I wonder if there was advanced ideas to that too (obviously it needs to make the belt look certain way too).
the answer is a simple square knot, not rocket science.

coolest knot video I've ever seen
So useful video
this is so amazing
Dude you're Awesome 👍💯
The knot you showed, to protect your luggage, is extremely clever! It has sort-of the same purpose as the old sailor's "Breadbag knot," to detect theft of personal property. Nice idea, but I can't help thinking, "SNIP!" I can't imagine that anybody wanting to steal stuff from your luggage would worry about cutting the cord! 🙂
That is some mighty fine rope right there, I'll tell you what.
3:33
This is one of the only knots I already knew and I think some other people might be in a similar position. It's very... handy 👀
nothing fancy about the knots, but the way you use them is incredibly smart! Thanks for the video!
Wow - highly intelligent knots. I've been learning new knots for the last 15 years, and these are all new ones I've not seen yet. Thank you for the content. check out the icicle hitch if you haven't already- a brilliant friction knot.
Nice! Thanks for showing me that.
love this
Just cool !
Great knots

Dude!
Sweet!
Gracias muy completo
you are too good man ..
That shoelace sheet bend as you call it at 11:20 is actually just a slipped left-handed Lapp bend.
It's left-handed as the working ends come out on the opposite sides as seen at 11:41 Ideally, you'd have the working ends come out on the same side.
Yeah, thanks, I was thinking about what knot it is because it's definitely not a sheet bend.
I knew two different methods for the first knot, but yours is better.
Excellent video.
Nice PMJ t-shirt😎
Dude... Love this channel
Thanks Rommel
Best Video on youtube thx
very cool ideas .
Knots are very useful.
Wait a minute why are there numbers after my name? Do you guys see them? I legit didn’t put them there…
