Hey everyone, please keep watching and check out my most popular video next "8 Knots Everyone Should Know" kzread.info/dash/bejne/g22m19ijdafchMo.htmlsi=Z-fQDJxeXJMWNRl3 and if you're looking for a gift for the person who loves to learn about and tie knots, check out the 50 Knot Journal amzn.to/468zKJI a small book I created to help fund these videos. Thanks for watching 🙂
Thanks for showing the technique with the smaller cord and just using the hand! Nicely done.

It so happened that I watched your video while sailing down the Missouri. I used your figure 8 technique for my halyard lines, and I'll be dammed if it didn't fall to the deck without a single tangle. Thank you!
It's really a nice way to coil a rope easily..your explanation is simple and clear.. and you made your video in a nice lovely green place !.thanx100🌹
Thank you, sir! Great topic, and greatly appreciate your teaching style.
Your the man! Keep schooling us man! Thank you! I learned something new today!
Figure 8 system is the best, that's what I've been using for over 30 years. I do it a bit different, but same principal. As long as it ends up in an 8. An Eight is a Clockwise, then Counterclockwise Turn so it cancels out any 'Twisting'
You’ve showed me this many times - I think I’ve got it now 😉

Hey! Yeah, when I learned this a few years ago it made keeping my ropes tidy a lot easier.
Very good tips, thanks
Have been so tangled thank you very much I'm so grateful
Perfect for upright vacuum cleaners.
Hi Jason, thanks so much, this one thing that i have always had a problem with. No more thanks to you. Great video

Very useful! I've long used the figure eight method with my hand for smaller ropes but, while I wrap it like you did at the end, I've never "finished" it off with your clever knot. I'll have to try the same method with the elbow on larger knots now. THANKS!!
Thanks Jason, big help

Huh, my father once taught me the elbow-figure-8 method, never knew it helped with keeping things smooth. I just knew it as 'one of the ways' you can coil a rope

Awesome. This method is used a lot with sailors and others who use pulleys because the rope can be fed through a pulley without getting a kink in the line after being coiled in the figure eight.
Great to know! Thanks!

Superb. Nice & easy and tidy.
I've just been doing the circle thing for decades but the misshapen rope, kinks, and tangles alway bothered me. Now, that I've seen how easy it is and how well it works... I can't stop doing it your way... just for fun! Love it! Thank you!

Hi Jason, I love your channel. You have a great way of explaining and illustrating how to do knots and whatnot! I have used your techniques and they have proven very helpful! Question for you, what color and pattern ropes are you using in his video. I would like to see if I could find those specific ones. Thank you kindly in advance, Jon
Nice technique, very useful.👍

Better to finish with an half hitch and do more raps then you can just pull the tag end to uncoil.
Thanks for your awesome tutorial videos! Question for you that I haven't seen explained yet: How do I wrap the excess paracord rope for my brush clamp anchor that I plan to use in my kayak? One end has the permanently attached metal grip anchor and the other end has a carabiner type clip.

I’m not quite sure what you need but maybe you could try “common whipping” if you just want to tidy it up.
I was using the over/under method for a while, which is best for coiling extension cords & garden hoses, but have found that it gives me trouble getting everything to lay neat when finishing off the tie, so I’m going to give this method a shot. Thank you!
@russlehman2070

Another issue with over/under is that if you pull the end out of the wrong side of the coil, you will end up with a series of overhand knots in the rope (or extension cord)

@@russlehman2070 Yup noticed that too! Same thing with a daisy chain
Been doing this to extension cords in the union for decades
By coiling the figure 8 method, can I use the initial tag end to pull the rope out from the coil (as long as it's not twisted within any of the coil loops)? BTW, great video!

That's what I'd do with paracord, much quicker to uncoil for use.

Ive coiled up and deployed in the region of 100m of electric fence string using that method when I’ve forgotten to bring a reel. The coiling isn’t the problem it’s the paying out that’s the trick and using the initial tag is the way to go. You can even leave the wrap in place as long as the final finishing loop is removed.
Enjoying the channel! Any general recommendations for rope and chord to have around with my camping gear? Short of my climbing rope, I'm wondering what thickness, lengths and types you find most useful for general or a variety of uses in the outdoors. Thanks!

Can’t go wrong with paracord for camping
I've just learned I'm rope dislexic. No matter how many times I tried (3) I couldn't go behind and around my elbow. 😂😂😂
Do it everyday you never have Alzaimer 👍💪
Great vid, good tutorial on line care.... but I was taught never to drop rope on the ground in the dirt. It breaks down the lines
@JasonsKnotChannel
2 жыл бұрын
Yes, of course this is true but you need to think about it. The rope is going to be dropped, rubbed, strain, etc. The main idea is to take care of the rope but of course it's still going to go through these things. More importantly is to examine your rope and take note of when any hard use happens so you can replace it when it starts to wear. I was taught the same thing but really, I don't think a drop from 2 feet will do much. Dropping a rope from 50 feet on the other hand...
Pretty much how I do it, except that I tie it off by simply tucking the end under the last two wraps.
Does the fig 8 method relieve the twist the same way as an over-under method does?
@markzambelli
Жыл бұрын
Yes. For the over-under method you are manually alternating each twist to counter the one before it... for the fig-8 method, each looped-end of the rope (say, the one in your hand) is automatically twisted the same way and counters the other looped end (the one around your elbow) which has all it's loops twisted the opposite way... the crossing over in the centre of the fig-8 indicates this. Personally I find over-under a pain and is always slower; fig-8 seems to be perfect for me and I use it for my climbing rope, cordage, spare shoelaces and even my vacuum cleaner power cord!
@ozok17
8 ай бұрын
if over-under means what i think, it's effectively the same as a big figure-8 folded in half at its waist.
Odd question, but does that concept for preventing twists by doing the figure 8 work with electrical cords such as an extension cord as well?
@JasonsKnotChannel
Жыл бұрын
Usually, yes. Problem with extension cords is that they can have memory twists in them.
