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!
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!
i was looking for practical usage scenarios for paraacord and found this video. Thank you so much! Made a lanyard as shown in the video for my ID card combined with stevedore stopper knots and a celtic button knot.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
alot awesome knots that will come in very handy at many occasions! thx alot for teaching them to us ^^ definitly earned my sub and like many times over!
A) How to hang something with an otterbox B) Having a lanyard reduces the risk of dropping a phone and causing damage C) Having a lanyard reduces the risk of dropping your phone into water and other places where retrieval is difficult or impossible regardless of a protective case D) What makes a protective case and a lanyard mutually exclusive? I literally just did it, and can now drop my already protected phone let it hang by my side and not smack into the floor
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 .
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! 🙂
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

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.

No bs nothing
Stuffed with actually useful things great work 👍
The phone tether is great. Definitely gonna make these for my oblivious family members who pull out their phones in sketchy areas
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!
Thanks for the helpful video, I'll go practice knitting knots. Welcome:)

Wow. Useful and impressive knots! explanation on point and clear!
Very nice collection of knots, not the boring stuff usually found on YT. Thanks for demos.

2. Thank you for having the names of the knows in the descripiton.
Oh, that sheet bend tensioning trick is yummy. I could have used that many a time.
the Sheet Bend and Clothesline both look very useful
You are amazing at not only explaining how to do the knots but also giving us most usable ideas for said knot 🌹💋🤗👌👍👏
nothing fancy about the knots, but the way you use them is incredibly smart! Thanks for the video!

Man, that was dope! I know A LOT of knots, but 80% of them were new to me! Really good stuff!
You are very good
It's very helpful go head bro 👏👏
Nice PMJ t-shirt😎
Fantastic video, I subscribed just because of the shoelace sheetbend. thanks
PS did you come up with that knot? if so may I suggest a different name
the Cinching Sheet Bend
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 👀
Love your stuff thanks
I knew two different methods for the first knot, but yours is better.
How'd this get looped into my algorithm? They roped me in again!🤣
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.

Many thanks. 👍
@11:20 Very nice! Great tensioning knot! Thanks again for all your hard work. (Love your channel.)
Thanks!
This is all so amazing!
I like this kind of knots this helps me a lot
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.
Knots UwU
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.
Awesome. Thank you very much.
I'm absolutely impressed by your knowledge and great descriptions. Awesome content, brotha!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.
So useful video
That is some mighty fine rope right there, I'll tell you what.
Good for securing your propane tanks & all your propane accessories!😅

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
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.
Cool stuff. I do hate how you can make it seem easy. 😉
Some of these blew my mind
these knots are so useful but needs a lot of practice to remember.
Man your a first class genius🪢👏👍
Been fighting a pair of shorts for a year! Today marks the beginning of an era for those who wish Ill towards our wardrobe.
