Learning how to tie knots and knot tying is incredibly important for any of us who use rope or other cordage. But what if it starts to unravel?....Craig of Nature Reliance School has a fix for you.

love the attention to detail Mr. Caudill! Good job!
thanks gentleman!
I have been using your second knot more than 20 years, the scrap rope is very good for fire tinder, thank you.
Another nice suggestion...thanks for sharing that with everyone! - Craig
great knowledge thanks I love your videos I learn something I really use
That is very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching! ~Craig
Will you do a whole video on ropes? Need to see a Nature Reliance Rope School video with comparisons, suggestions, and general info! Climbing, repelling, paracord, bank line, nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, aramid, static, dynamic, load ratings, etc, etc, etc! Thanks!
Man....you have thrown the guantlet down...that would be a great video, lots of work, but a great one. Thanks, for the idea, I will see what I can do.
Sorry to put you in the hotseat, I'm a total newbie when it comes to most of this stuff!
Excellent video. I did some plain whipping on an old marquee rope which was similar to yours. I finished off with some waterproof tape over the whipping. Also I read that you do your turns against the lay of the rope. I suppose this makes the whipping more secure. You did this with the second demonstration but not the first. Look forward to more knot tying videos.
+Roy Carter you are correct. I was too involved with how it looked camera to notice what I myself was doing. Thanks for commenting, I will make a note on the video. Appreciate the heads up.
Like the brush idea with the off-cuts.
Thanks. I hate wasting anything so I was looking at those things trying to come up with an idea for them...I think it works. Glad you liked it.
Hemp rope is very good fire starter! I keep hemp rope in my fire start bag, most any type of natural fiber dried out will work for fire tender, try it, work great. Thanks again.
nice, we are teaching Wilderness Safety and Survival this weekend...I will use some this weekend for tinder. THanks for the suggestion!
Once I secure the ends of my rope I wrap electrical tape over the knot to help protect the ends..
Polyester & nylon I also melt the ends..
Love whipping all my ropes. I use "whip-n-dip" sold at marine stores OR I use regular nail polish to finish off the whipping which makes the end permanent and I can color code my ropes for different purposes.
Now THAT is a wonderful idea I had not considered. Thanks for sharing that with everyone! - Craig
Love your work
You can also dip the entire tip and whipping in shellac. It helps prevent further fraying and secures the whipping. It is more elastic than laquer(nail polish). Nail polish is a good idea nonetheless since you are more likely to have that than shellac!!
Hemp, jute or even tow works for fire tender, just make a little bird nest out of the fibers then drop your ember in the nest then blow on it. The jute works the best and tow is the hardest to get going and hemp is in the middle so you can't go wrong with hemp but it has to be dry of course. Hope this helps you, please share this info. Every one should know about it. Thanks again.
+Robert Brunston we use Jutte and tow all the time, never used hemp.
Sure, use transparent, invisible thread to wrap the rope. For video purposes, black thread would have been way, way better.
Is that what you used in your video?
Why did you only show the weakest whipping knot? Sailmakers whipping would have been 10x better for that rope.
How did you come up with the calculation of 10X better? I am interested to know. Thank you in advance for helping me learn more.
Hi Craig, thanks for the great videos. You're doing a terrific job!
As for the sailmaker's whipping, well the "10x better" is pretty much a figure of speech at best. There's no way you could quantify that. However, the sailmaker's whipping is widely considered the safest whipping (forgetting about palm and needle) since the twine is threaded through the heart of the rope. In fact, you are securing the whipping with a reef knot between the lays of your rope. That is about as durable as it gets without using a needle.
Shaving brush…. 🤕
Plz get rid of the background music.
Thanks for the suggestion. We have gone both ways with this. Our analytics indicate that more of our videos are watched with music than without. I wish we could please everyone (including you) but unfortunately we cannot. I do appreciate you letting us know your thoughts.
