You did forget the strongest and most resilient knot in the world though which is of course the Christmas lights knot. Cannot be tied manually. Needs to form itself over 11 months. Impenetrable.

Awesome knot, but I know a better one. Just go fishing with a lady you want to impress and you will remember it, I`m sure. Hint: reminds you of a bird`s nest.

Don't sell yourself short! As a beginner this was easily the most helpful guide I watched: short, concise and with a pletera of different kinds of knots/hitches!

Plainly demonstrated and informative. Beautiful canoe!!!

"Useful to know? Knot half" thanks for sharing Simon. all best.

Never was a Boy Scout, but I'm finding that learning different knots to be kind of fun and practical in my older age. This was very helpful!

I know this is now 2 yrs old, but to this 55 yr old it's pure gold. Was never taught knots in school here (US) but i firmly believe they ought to the world over. Thank you! 🍺

Good to hear that Maggie is on the mend, I hope she makes a speedy recovery. Take care and stay safe!

Came for the knots stayed for the vibe

Who in blazes are the 9 people who didn’t like this video 🤔?? What’s knot to like about it? Well done Simon. Best wishes to Maggie 🙏🏼❤️🐶.

Maggie is. MUCH more important than a video. Glad you're back and she's getting better!!

Such a good vid. My Late Father was a Royal Engineer, he made sure I knew how to tie ropes. I do miss my Dad.

I love how you explained the clove hitch. For some reason that one never seemed intuitive to me. I think because it’s always been explained as a knot that has to go around an object. But seeing a free floating clove really clarified how the knot is actually working Thanks!

Prayers for Maggie. May she heal quickly and completely. And thanks for the video.

Hey Simon..you should make your own product of carry tutorial cards. In a emergency most people become stressed and so easily confused with some things as simple as knots. Carry cards as I call them are just reminders. Should be simple pictorial of basic knots or skill sets. You have a group of followers that would be interested in your take on these things. Something to throw in the olde bag that will be a resource under stress. Since your in the humidity, could make them water proof...another spot on vid...as always...may your feet be sure on the trail, your campfire warm at night and your trail tales be true!

We’re glad to see you back Simon… You had us worried!

To knot or not to knot, well, no question, we missed your video. Stay healthy and safe everybody.

Thank you! For being the only man to tie a bowline, and placing the tail on the outside of the working loop, instead of inside the working loop. Seems everyone and their dog ties a bowline and puts the tail right in the middle of load zone and I dont know why..

Thanks for that video Simon, I don't know much about knots, love to Maggie I hope her poorly legs is better soon , poor girl

Knots are fascinating to me!👍👍👍

I wish all the best for Maggie and you, too. Greatings from Germany

Thank goodness a "Knot Expert" who knows the proper and commonly used terms for describing the actions and parts used in knot tying! However be careful with the bowline for trying up a boat, unless it is under constant tension it can shake loose. I have retrieved many dinghies due to this knot failing. Better to use a 'round turn and two half hitches'.

Awww Simon,, nice to see you again,, Sorry to hear about Maggie's stroke of bad luck. Great knots video. I thought for sure I would have seen a loop tied with the figure 8 knot. Nice to see you again,

Hey Simon. I hope that Maggie gets well soon and that you can go on an adventure together again. Thanks for your clear explanation and film work! Very educative!

Knot nerd here, always interesting to see other folks goto knots. Sorry to hear Maggies been a poorly. I hope you're treating her to some steak to aid recovery. All the best Al

I love the cow hitch knot so much. Incredibly useful. Now I’ll make sure to call it Larks foot every so often to keep people guessing lol.

Nice video Simon 👍, always good to refresh on knots. And not end up doing, multiple Granny knots 🤣😜🤪. So sorry 😟 to hear about Maggie, hope she feels better soon 🙏.

I’m an ex scout. Knowing knots is so beneficial.

Sorry to hear about Maggie mate, hope she is better soon. When she is back on all fours she needs a cheeky canoe overnighter with a steak for dinner!! 👍

Good to see you back Simon our best to Maggie, nice bit of knot tying, useful thanks! 😎👍

Simon, please take no offense to my observation. I was a very nervous and stressed kid. I won't site reasons here. Like you, I had the same nail-biting habit. I overcame it by saying "NO" out loud when I realized I was doing it. It is almost always a childhood started habit. Most that watch your videos may not recognize it. It is however all too obvious. You had the want and determination to craft and build your beautiful canoe. This I envy you. I know for a fact, if I did it, anyone can. Give it a shot, you possess the determination, you need only to recognize the triggers, and redirect your actions to these triggers. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

What is this magic? 😂 Great video again Simon, thank you 🙂

Best of health to Maggie. Stay healthy brother

Family and pets come before any video. Maggie is a big part of your family so she deserved the love and care she obviously got. I hope she makes a full recovery. I love watching your videos. Take care.

Simon's back and went completely knots 🤣😋 funny bowline story I learned the snake who comes out the lake and around the tree.. anyway nice video hope Maggie has a quick and good recovery! Stay safe and well🙏

Like you said it. There are lot's of videos about knots, but your video makes it seem simple howto. And I don't need to know 100 knots. Just the ones I use. Just a few. PS: those are the knots I use when camping ;-)

And thank you for the padge of yours. It arrived this week (I wasn't home when it came). Now I just have to find a place for it.

Oh no. Hope Maggie will be right as rain soon. Was wondering about the gap in videos and glad to have you back. Incidentally I tried learning all about knots some time back and you would think I'd be an expert by now, right? Well, I'm a frayed knot... Ahem.

Man is a knot 🪢 into which relationships are tied. - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Congrats to everyone learning these. You have taken the first step in becoming a tenderfoot level Boy Scout. I've used these knots because you can used them since way back then. Well done for teaching these. They really are the best. None of my tents/tarps have tension adjustors. One you know these few you can skip a ton of useless hardware and even ratchet web strap tiedowns. ...One I'd add is the pipe hitch for fixing line to smooth pipe and the knot will hold where it is tied and not slide on the smooth pipe.

Thanks for that Simon, I will get to practicing those. Hope Maggie picks up.

Sorry about Maggie. I know you had trouble with the teaching profession, but you’re a natural! Look forward to each video. Tim

Such a pleasure watching your videos...

Nice one Simon good knots and easy to follow. Used my kitchen table leg as a stick. Better to try these things at home rather than out in a storm. Love your videos. Sorry to hear about Maggie.

Thx Simon in the Woods. Different people explain things differently and use different camera angles. Your no-nonsense explanation was good for me to catch these. I plan to come back and hear them again. Liked the picture of tying the canoe to the post.

Nice video this one Simon very informative for anyone new to tying knots. And sorry to hear about Maggie. Wishing her a speedy rexovery.

Thanks for putting the names of the knots next to a picture of the knot, really helps. Hope your wife gets better soon. 🙏👍🖖💃

Simon, thank you for this knot review. If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. Regular practice helps. Hoping for loosened restrictions soon. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Maggie and hope to see her again in future videos. Take care, and all the best! (edited to correct spelling)

this is honestly the best knot tutorial i have seen in ages, thisvideo is not a full on knot jammed video its a simple here is a knot this is how you tie it and thats it, shown in the simpliest way possible and its now my go to if i foget any, bc its so easy to just follow along.

Great video and very easy to understand thank you. Whether I'll remember them all when I need to is another challenge for me though 👍

Very interesting, glad your back hope Mags is okay 👍

WOW ive been doing a Larks foot and a clove hitch all my life without knowing it ! It feels good 😅😃

Thank you I already know those knots but still learned something I like the idea of using a byte on the taught line hitch it's so much easier to get it undone thank you

That was a quick bit of digging. Let the revision commence! Thank you Simon!

Thank you. These should be handy. Best to Maggie - she's a good dog. I hope she'll be ok soon.

Hope Maggie feels better!! Excellent video, very useful!!👍

here in Kansas, we get winds that carry your house away. The taut-line hitch can be super-dupered for holding strength, yet fully adjustable, by adding one more loop around the line (rope) on both sides of the knot. That is, 3 loops on the inside, followed by two loops on the outside. You are adding two more loops of holding power.

Thanks for including practical examples of where you use the knots and why.

GREAT video Simon!! Always wanted to see a tutorial on the knots you use. You make it look so easy!!! I am. SOOOOO sorry to hear about Maggie. I hope she makes a complete recovery! She's such a doll!

Knots are the outdoorsman’s flex 😂

Hope Maggie is okay and keep the videos coming your knowledge share is keeping me sane

Good to see you are well Simon, hope Maggie makes a speedy recovery.

Your knot tutorial might not be the most fancy one but after watching a lot of of them as a beginner I must say I find it is one of the most practical ones. You cover the most important things in quite short time. Thank you for the good content 😊

Hope Maggie recovers quickly, love seeing her with you.

Great job Simon! Learnt the prusik knot from a picture on your Instagram over the first lock down and it’s made tarp setup so much easier! Next one the list is the ridge line. Thanks

The brain and Hands, the greatest tools we got, thanks for adding to the brains bit Simon 👍

There we go! a detailed Demo that ends up being learned and applied. Thanks Simon, good job!

Good to see another great vid Simon I wish you all well and hope Maggie makes a speedy recovery 👍

Great tutorial Simon and good to see suggested uses. I am going to practice the arbor knot to extend my bushcraft construction skills!

I always judge a man by how I see him treat his dog..that my friend makes you a king 😎😍

Nice one Simon a brilliant refresher on knots thanks very mush Mark

Great to see you Simon, I hope maggie recovers fast, thanks for the knowledge, see you soon.

Thank you Simon hope Maggie has a swift recovery. Good knot tutorial easy to forget when you don't get out .

MAGGIE- NO. I hope Maggie recovers quickly. I love seeing her with you. Thanks for the lesson and explaining the ways to use these knots.

Glad Maggie is on the mend. Only 6 knots, I like that. Sometimes it is overwhelming when I pick up my book o' knots. Thanks for the videos

Great video Simon. Clear and concise instructions that even I can follow ! The Arbor knot is new to me and I'm definitely going to use it. Hope Maggie gets better soon.

Awwwww...sweet Maggie! I hope that she will be fine with so much tender loving care. And nice knot tutorial. ATB!

Great stuff. So sorry to hear about Maggie's injury. Really hope she makes a full recovery soon. Take care.

The prusik knot got me out of a tree well when I was a kid sledding. Half inch rope from sled and boot laces. Probably saved my life.

Glad to see you back, and a great subject! Hope Maggie recovers..... cheers
