I'd be pretty damn lost without you, my friend ! 🤗☺️❤️🖖✌️

I just started learning how to tie knots and have been unsure about which knots are best in certain circumstances. This helps a lot thanks!

Hey DJ, I'm a fellow knot nut. Great video! I'd like to add that you can slip the constrictor knot as well so that you don't have to cut it to remove it. In my experience, this doesn't compromise the knot's security.

Amazing, thanks Mike!! I covered that slipped constrictor in my dedicated constrictor vid, but didnt mention it here. I wish I did now! Thank you!

Excellent tutorial DJ. It really is incredible how many knots are just one small modification away from each other. Nate

Glad you enjoyed it Nate, ya the clove is one of those base fundamental knots that can kind of evolve into so many others. Without getting too nerdy the knot world is pretty cool ahhab

Iv watched lots of vids on knots this guy is the best at explaining and making it simple for beginners to learn knots with ease 💯👍

I am from 🇳🇵 i don't know that you know about my country or not. But I loved every videos of yours. And your explanation. Your video taught me to tie knot. Bushcraft ladder.an much more

I recommend you add the "snuggle hitch" to the list, perhaps as a replacement for your constrictor knot.

Superb tutorial as always, DJ. Can't wait to get the Knot Kit, that looks like a very well thought out kit.

Interesting - in climbing (in the UK at least), we use a clove hitch on the bight to tie into anchors. Because it’s in the middle of the line, of course, it can’t shake loose.

@@Eindkaasthx a bunch, ya there’s a few original creators and many copycats out there. (Frustrating for me at times) BUT, I just keep doing my thing, people seem to like it :)

I KNEW that the final variation had to be the constrictor knot. I learned it many years ago from the classic Morrow's Book of Knots. Like Bear said, it absolutely won't slip (unless you use it on something square, like a 2x4), yet you can make it constrict tighter by pulling harder on the two ends. You're limited only by your physical strength. Once you learn it, you'll find all sorts of unexpected uses for it. I'm using one right now on an adjustable guitar stand. The stand has an adjustment handle. When you squeeze it, it locks in place and exerts constant pressure on the stand's sliding mechanism to maintain the height adjustment. Unfortunately, a piece of the handle broke, preventing the sliding mechanism from being locked in place. So, I used camping cord and a constrictor knot to squeeze the handle to maintain the pressure necessary to lock the sliding mechanism in place. This was a perfect application for the constrictor; I know of no other way I could have fixed it, and I doubt any other knot could have been cinched tightly enough to maintain the necessary pressure.

Thank you very much for sharing this. Extremely helpful. Greetings from a new subscriber from Indonesia. Looking forward to more videos

Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the follow and support!! Greetings from Canada!

If you are having trouble with a clove hitch coming undone, you may be using it for the wrong application/ The clove hitch started out as knot used by sailors to tie off a boat to a piling that hols up a dock. Over the years it has been repurposed for everything else. It needs tension or weight kept on it to be secure. When hauling logs in the water, a clove hitch at the mid point on the log, and a half hitch at the end of the log being towed would keep the tension on the clove hitch and prevent it from slipping. the constrictor knot that you demonstrated, is also known a strangle knot. It has such a strong mechanical advantage, that if enough weight/load is put on it, you will have to cut the line to free it.

Hi mark, for practicing I have the orange thicker cord available in my knot tying kit. For use around campsite, there are a few options, one is the popular 550 paracord, but online there are cheap and good ones - and very tough to decipher which is which. I am releasing my own line of cordage in the next 2 months that’s trustworthy and top quality as well!!

My rope is attached to the top of the bag on the side thru a little slit in the bag but the rope doest move it is permanently attached, what knot should i use to close the bag like that? Do you have a link to a video or a suggestion of a video you made? Please and thanks i can send a pic too if you have twitter or something like that.
