- Only know one or two knots? Subscribe to solve everyday problems with rope.
A square knot spills into a cow hitch. A cow hitch leads to a bowline. A granny knot spills into a clove hitch. You can use both knots to create a truckers hitch. This video also shows a couple knot books for reference and a section on choosing rope for practice. - Jak na to + styl

It's funny how I know I've done all those by accident trying to tie things together (trial and error) but could never properly reproduce them on purpose. This video really helped!
exactly! tie them by feel, then pull on it to check if its working or not 🤣🤣
Omg i feel u so bad
@@xMoonlove Exactly, and then constantly fear for your life while you lay on your uncertainly safe hammock.
@@namelastname1174 That sounds like me lol
***By accident in the bedroom
FIFY buddy 😏
Beginner's guide to knots? Should be subtitled: "journey into a parallel universe of knots." Absolutely fantastic- thank you so much. From larkshead to bowline: never seen that before, genius. What a lovely start to the new year. Might have to rethink my knot teaching though...
I appreciate how you show some practical, real world applications to these different knots that the regular person might need them for, like tying a tarp or securing a load to a pickup. I'm for sure saving this to my "Useful things to know" playlist!
I think what makes your videos different, you not only explain the knot thoroughly but you show when and where to apply it in working applications.
This is absolutely the best way to learn knots. breaking them down into simpler types of knots, understanding how they relate to each other. Bravo!
I've watched a lot of knotting videos but this one blew my mind. I didn't know all these relations exist and that you can basically transform knots into other knots. Your video is amazing to understand WHY knots are the way they are and not just HOW to knot them
As someone with a reasonable experience in beginner knots, I already knew all of these knots. However, still a great video because I've never seen anyone before explain how these knots relate to each other and can be linked together so easily. Very informative and great descriptions of how and when to use each knot.
I was thinking of commenting the same exact thing
My issue with knots has always been how it seems like each knot is it’s own series of magical steps, this tutorial is a great way to build up the ingredients of each knot, well done!
This video should be mandatory materiel in every Canadian school.
Sure, why knot?
I can’t believe this dude just got me excited about knots, I’m about to order some rope to practice with right now! Lol
Your tutorials are great - clear, concise and intelligent.
botted comment
I am jealous, you actually own an Ashley book of Knots. Thank you for all your videos.
The Ashley Book of Knots was actually first published in 1944, not 1947. I know because I own an original first edition.
@@American-Plague it is a great book and I feel guilty for owning a digital copy. One day I will own a hard copy.
@@williamharshman9572 It's a VERY informative book. The world's authority on Knots, splices and hitches I'd guess. I cherish mine like it was an original copy of the Bible or something.
@@American-Plague I play with so many different knots one of my nicknames is knotty Bill.
@@williamharshman9572 Hahaha! Cool! I know to most people it sounds insanely boring but I've always been fascinated by knots! Especially before the internet, coming across this book was like finding the Holy Grail! 🏆
this video is FANTASTIC! The way you walk through the logic of improving a simple knot into a more secure one is so helpful for both remembering how to tie them and understanding how they work
My ghetto knots have worked for decades. They can be a pain in the ass trying to untie them though so I'm ready to learn these.
As a boy scout I learned all these knots. Your video brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a kid. Kudos on the rooster!
I did not search for this. I’m pretty sure I clicked on it by accident. I’m enchanted by their voice.
I’m into sailing and know these knots from very different contexts, but this was fun to watch lol.
Regular knot master teaching his secrets. Nice.
Oddly enough, this is the first video that really clicked with me to learn a bowline knot! Breaking down the structure of the knot into those simple cow/half-cow hitches is oddly enlightening. Thank you!
thank you for this, i'll knot my neck because of the help of this video, thank you
Watched the “panic knots” shorts and it got me so interested 😳😳😳 watched the whole 10mins lol ty for the tutorials
See you guys in 7 years when youtube recommends this legendary video to all of us!
This guy is king of the knots !!!!
I literally have no use for learning knots or anything, but since this popped on my recommended and just seemed interesting, I ended watching the whole thing
And now I'm satisfied along with new knowledge of ropes and knots
I have never been more interested in a video before
I don’t know if you’ll see this but once the CZcams algorithm gets a hold of this video and spreads it around you’re gonna be getting a lot of joke comments about “knots” and “knotting” so be warned, it’s not what you think(pun not intended)
A good teacher can make complicated thing look so easy for us to follow
Excellent video tutorial for a beginner novice like myself … thank you 🙏
All videos on CZcams should be like this one, very good work. I'm subscribing
I have a date tomorrow this video showed up on my feed at the perfect time!
Ok, really cool. Saved video to my files
I'll bet you fun at party's 😆
As someone who literally just wants to tie some string for peas to climb, this is easily the best video I've seen
This needs to be a 20 part series, cuz its genius!
I've been messing around with fun knots and Paracord for about a year now, and this is the first time I've ever seen the connection from the square to the bowline and beyond. Mind blown. Thank you good sir!
That witty on the spot rooster comment had me DYING lmaoooo 🤣🤣
this might be my favourite youtube video of all time.
This is probably the best knot video ive seen. I love the way you explain the parts and tie them all together
This is one of the most important things to learn in the very far future.
I watched this maybe 5 times and used 3 different knots to tie off a tarp! You've successfully taught me these knots better than a whole troop of boyscouts did.
This is just fantastic how you move from simple knots to more complex ones by using the same elements. Much easier to remember and a very very good way of teaching. Kudos to you.
Thanks youtube for recommending me this video but I already know everything i need to know about knots from e621
Great now the kids in my basement will never be able to escape, thanks! 😊
Throwback to being 9 messing around with random bits of rope and accidentally discovering knots.
The photography on this video is amazing...
Nothing beats the Saskatchewan clusterknot
this is hands down the best knot video ever made. GODSPEED SIR!
That was very concise, as those 10 minutes flew by!
oh my word - I didn't realise you could "derive" knots like that! Thank you - this was the BEST knot explanation I've ever seen.
This is the best explained bowline I've seen, and I've been watching rope videos for weeks now
Great video Sir! WHen I was a Fire Captain I would stress to my firefighters the importance of practicing their rope skills and knots that are typically used on a fire scene. That way they weren't fumbling and the knots would hold up too!
Which ones did you focus on?
Having some major Boy Scout flashbacks!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The way the knots relate to each other was a genius-level addition. Thanks for that. It made my day (so far).
THANK YOU CZcams FOR RECOMMENDING THIS. IVE NEVER SEARCHED FOR KNOTS MAKING WILLINGLY BUT NOW IM VERY HAPPY
I decided to spend the morning learning knots. I've watched a number of CZcams videos, and this is definitely one of the best. Thank you.
I’ve been using that cow hitch for years without ever actually knowing it lol, I’ve allways use that method looping it over your fingers to create the loops and then finishing it of, never knew it was an actual knot just thought was something I’d found that worked by accident and kept using it lol very interesting video
Lol that's awesome
What a terrific intro!
great video - I have done these before, but struggle to make them right. I used to work for a farmer who could do these in their sleep and tie down anything with almost any rope - then he acted like I should be able to do it without any training because he "already showed me once" :)
i didnt know how i ended up here but i was pleasantly surprised by all these knots
For me, the important question is always, "What do I need this line to hold, and how heavy is it?" The second most important question is, "How easy will it be to unravel this once I'm done with it." Great demonstration here.
A great first knots video. I like how you tie (not a pun) the square knot to the larks head to the bowline. You might mention that good knots are ones that are easy to untie as well. All the ones you show are.
This is by far the best knot video I’ve seen. Starting simple and building it up, relating each knot to the next. Bravo!
This guy's life must be so exciting..
probably knot
OK, so then I had quick look at the channel's catalog... It's a friggin" gold mine! Insta-subbed. Thank you sir CZcamsr!
Best all around knot video on CZcams!
I dont know Why I never found this interesting but it seems like I got something new to try as a Hobby and thank you for it.
wow this will really help making it easier to tie people up in my basement
i came here to make a warewolf joke but this is amazingly informative
The way you teach is the most dad way I ever heard. I'm all for a new dad
Awesome thankyou. Love the intro showcasing the simple knots and how they relate.
Love the details.
algorithm reccomended me here from searching bondage tutorials, it’s really great for beginners like me, thanks!
You're an awesome teacher, me and my awful memory really appreciate this video!!
Thanks!
You sir, you're doing God's work, thank you so much! 🏆
This appeared in my recommended and now after watching this I need / needed it
The knot seen at the 3 minute mark is legitimately what I've been taught by my dad forever ago. He has a yachting hobby and your boat/ship needs to be stable when in the harbour. In current weather as well as in a sudden violent storm.
Bowline and a clove hitch is all anyone needs to know 😉. I tie off tools and lift them hundreds of feet. These are the most trusted in construction. SAFETY APPROVED
I have a video requests! Can you think of any way to tie an adjustable knot that could be used to change the effective length of a charging cable. So when you slide the knot one way you get the full length of the charger and when you slide the other way the cable is shortened so it doesn't get tangled in a bag.
EXCELLENT!!!
Excellent!
Thank you for sharing!!!
what a practical yet intuitive lesson. Everything kinda just clicked. Thank you!
That process that ended in a bowline blew my mind..
In a job interview I had recently they asked me if I had any weaknesses. I thought about it and said “I can’t tie knots” so here I am, learning knots and enjoying it!
I'm a lazy piece of shit but If I say the truth they'd never hire me 😥
I'll get back to writing my dissertation right after this video about knots.
Thanks dude! You've save my life!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you, you just introduced me to a new interesting and not so expensive hobby ❤🙏
Best knot tutorial.
I really enjoy your channel. I’m learning more now than I did in the Boy Scouts.
didn't know that i needed it until i got it recommended
this is a great way to see these knots in another light!
clear and helpful! It is clear your intention to teach, to guide the development of understanding, is well thought through AND unhampered by the thirst for stardom that prevails on so many CZcamss. Refreshing!
Amazing video my friend, I'm saving this one
Precise, clear, not complicated instructions..THANKS A LOT!..
Great video and loved the advice at the end. Thanks.
I’m an Eagle Scout and done all of these knots at certain points in my life but this is the first time I understood what I was doing, thanks to this video.
Thanks a lot! Been following your channel for a while, but never got the basics right and thoroughly explained. Would love to see more of those!
Thanks for showing me the ropes.
knot funny
I've searched for a good tutorial on knots and am pleased that you have posted this thank you!
cheers for your great share of knowledge.. im certain i wil be back on here to confirm my future mistakes
You easily do the best knot tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Thanks Chris
I really liked your last knot, with the clove hitch and the bite, and the last part was especially helpful. Great video, very useful information. Thanks, John
Love your quick and to-the-point tutorials. Subbed.
