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!

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...

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 is absolutely the best way to learn knots. breaking them down into simpler types of knots, understanding how they relate to each other. Bravo!

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 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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Regular knot master teaching his secrets. Nice.

I am jealous, you actually own an Ashley book of Knots. Thank you for all your videos.

Which ones did you focus on?

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

thank you for this, i'll knot my neck because of the help of this video, thank you

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

I’m into sailing and know these knots from very different contexts, but this was fun to watch lol.

This is probably the best knot video ive seen. I love the way you explain the parts and tie them all together

This needs to be a 20 part series, cuz its genius!

I did not search for this. I’m pretty sure I clicked on it by accident. I’m enchanted by their voice.

I decided to spend the morning learning knots. I've watched a number of KZread videos, and this is definitely one of the best. Thank you.

This guy is king of the knots !!!!

This is by far the best knot video I’ve seen. Starting simple and building it up, relating each knot to the next. Bravo!

Excellent video tutorial for a beginner novice like myself … thank you 🙏

A good teacher can make complicated thing look so easy for us to follow

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.

The way the knots relate to each other was a genius-level addition. Thanks for that. It made my day (so far).

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.

this might be my favourite youtube video of all time.

THANK YOU KZread FOR RECOMMENDING THIS. IVE NEVER SEARCHED FOR KNOTS MAKING WILLINGLY BUT NOW IM VERY HAPPY

Best all around knot video on KZread!

This is the best explained bowline I've seen, and I've been watching rope videos for weeks now

This is one of the most important things to learn in the very far future.

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.

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.

All videos on KZread should be like this one, very good work. I'm subscribing

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

Thank you sir. A well-paced, well-'filmed' instructional video. I like the way you cover the most common knots and don't overwhelm us newbies. The section on rope types was very informative too. I have fallen foul of those cheap nylon ropes before and learned the hard way that better quality lasts longer and is easier to work with.

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 KZreads. Refreshing!

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 have a date tomorrow this video showed up on my feed at the perfect time!

what a practical yet intuitive lesson. Everything kinda just clicked. Thank you!

Dude thank you for your knot videos! You make it so simple yet concise, and explain and demonstrate in such a way that makes me think about these knots completely differently than I ever have. Great presentation and teaching skills. Keep up the good work!

Great video! So helpful. For the final anchor point on the truck, you could also use an alpine butterfly knot for the mechanical advantage. Much more secure than a girthed bight and easy to tie.

This has certainly tied my knowledge, i can knot believe I've lived through so many twist, turns and loops without knowing this stuff.

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.

Thanks youtube for recommending me this video but I already know everything i need to know about knots from e621

As someone who literally just wants to tie some string for peas to climb, this is easily the best video I've seen

Thank you, you just introduced me to a new interesting and not so expensive hobby ❤🙏

Ok, really cool. Saved video to my files I'll bet you fun at party's 😆

What a terrific intro!

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

Excellent channel, excellent tutorial. You are a great teacher and I appreciate your contributions to humanity. Thank you.

Precise, clear, not complicated instructions..THANKS A LOT!..

Learned all my knots in the Boy Scouts. Their manual is easy to follow and also covers lashing.

Using the different color ropes really helped show what is going on. Thanks, great tutorial.

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.

probably the best knot video I've seen. Thankyou for the step by step logical layout!

The way you teach is the most dad way I ever heard. I'm all for a new dad

I've searched for a good tutorial on knots and am pleased that you have posted this thank you!

I was taught to use the cow hitch and it's modified version you show for every knot tying situation in which something needs to be very secured.

Best video so far. Love your examples of how to use the knots.

Omg this is the best knot video I've seen. You ,sir , are a godsend . So easy and yhe way you teach is just what I needed.

Interesting and excellent analysis of how common knots are ‘related’.

I really enjoy your channel. I’m learning more now than I did in the Boy Scouts.

I use white sisal rope on my truck at work. It bites into itself really easily which means any simple knot holds well. It's pretty tough too. The downsides are that you can't get crazy with how you tie stuff and it can jam on you if you aren't careful. The ends fray too but we just tape those to stop that. It works great for what we use it for but there's a lot of applications I wouldn't want to use it for. Great video man

Well I never, I've been learning knots this last year and though i have my head around most of the important ones (for me at least), this video has really helped understand them .. Thanks for this, much appreciated

EXCELLENT!!! Excellent! Thank you for sharing!!!

Thanks for the quick overview of ropes at the end! Every time I go to the store to buy one I get overwhelmed with all the options and have a hard time telling what the difference is. Your video will definitely help with that

i didnt know how i ended up here but i was pleasantly surprised by all these knots

Thank you for your videos! Great job at explaining it clearly

This appeared in my recommended and now after watching this I need / needed it

I love tying knots, I work in the oilfield and when I first started their was no hooks on any of the ropes on the vessels so you would have to hand tie a bag with 50lbs in it up 100 ft and pray your knot held so I learned a lot of ways to tie. I have different size rope all over my house for when im bored and want to practice lol. I dont know even 10% of the knots in the world but I know the ones that I need that wont fail no matter the purpose 🤙

Thanks dude! You've save my life!

I actually have that second book you showed! I bought that and a Paracord fusion book on my birthday. I have a piece of cord in my pocket I practice my knots on, and I’ve created a few bracelets and even a double cobra belt. This is a cool hobby if you have hyperactive hands, and can’t sit still while listening to the news. Im actually taking interest in knots that create more complex mechanisms, like pulleys and lockable features. Im not sure of this is even a field, but I’m learning gradually what books to buy.

this is a great way to see these knots in another light!

algorithm reccomended me here from searching bondage tutorials, it’s really great for beginners like me, thanks!

I learned all of these in scouts and I'm so thankful lol great video honestly.

Superb demo. And of course, a couple of half hitches is a clove hitch around the rope too. I had known about knot roots. i.e. many knots are based on the single hand over knot, the half knot, reef/square knot and the figure of eight. Never noticed the granny knot being at the base of a clove hitch. Noticeably, many people when tying their shoes, tie the loops as a granny knot variation rather than the more secure square knot.

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!
