That's amazing, I love seeing stories like this, makes me miss my pops. Remembering the days helping him build our family home as his helper during my teenage years. Golden days of my life
The "constrictor knot" is not an actual knot but rather a "hitch" and it's called the "clove hitch", great for tree work, mostly used for small things like sending a water bottle up to the climber or rigging multiple limbs at once
This works because the cord is simply “stacked in order” you can also do this with regular circles as long as one circle follows right next to the next one. This is how a lifeguard will roll the rope that is attached to a buoy so that whenever they throw the buoy, the rope does not get tangled, and the buoy flies very far away..
No. Doing a coil, even if "stacked" neatly, imparts a half twist into the cord. Do what we call a "butterfly"; the rope just passes back and forth across your knee, or neck.
@@meeese6_ 😂 I'm invisioning this on a large ship, and thinking ..."you don't even want you foot to be in a rope coil"..good way to get pulled overboard 😅.
I use this same knot for my yarn when I knit or crochet. It keeps the long yarn tail end neatly out of my way until I need it for seaming. I also use it when using many different colors to knit or crochet, I'll make little bundles of each color yarn using this knot. It keeps them from getting tangled together & keeps it all very tidy. I wasn't taught how to make this knot, so I'm not sure how I learned to use it, but it works perfectly every time!!
That is helpfull for knitters and crocheters as well. Many times we have many colors going at once. That would be a great way to make my bundles. Thanks.
@@kimberlysharp-ko1301 Certainly you must know that some people teach themselves how to do hobbies, crafts, mechanics etc. due to uninterested parents, financial, classes not offered or any other reason. People learn by trial and error, reading, listening and seeing things being done. They were able to connect the concept and imagine its use and how helpful it would be in another subject, area or craft so they shared with others hoping to help them also; just like the very first person the idea originated with. I’m curious what your (or anyone that does this) reasoning is for laughing at someone that learned something new to them? Is it just to embarrass, belittle or shame them? Or are the laughs trying to prove your superior intelligence?
I taught some things when I was in Girl Scouts and got a poacher out crossbow hunting caught when we were out camping. They wound a lot of deer that end up getting away with life altering injuries. That's what this guy did. I grew up going to my family's hunting cabin, so I learned a few things watching them. I think it's crazy how many life skills aren't taught in schools.
Great video! 💯👏 My father was in the Royal military. He taught me this and many others. He passed many moons ago, and I still do this. I also take his teaching and have taught many others as well. Comes in handy, that's for sure. Thank you! 🎉
You can actually do the same motion with your arms outstretched to bundle up big shit like that. You look kinda goofy though because you’re doing the figure eight by flapping your arms around lol
I do a similar thing with long extension cords. Hold the end in one hand and wrap it around your elbow on the same arm, once it's done just wrap the other end around itself.
I've been doing this with unravelled wool since I was a kid in the 60's, it's the best way to keep it tidy and stop irt getting tangled, my grandmother showed me.
Learned this after working at a camp, but did it around ‘Spock’ fingers… but the pinch at the beginning is something I didn’t think of! My life will be easier.
I learned to tie different knots in my elective class Outdoor Adventure - ofc, no one wanted to take the class but the teacher was so relaxed and taught us a lot of outdoor stuff like how to tie knot, using compass, using google sketchup, meditating. It was great.
I learned this when i worked for Nintendo at the Redmond facility in 1989, it was a great place to work. Manufacturing, shipping and quality control positions were available to those who showed initiative and a desire to learn. Miss the days when people could work a shitty job and make enough to thrive and prosper.
This kind of stuff should be taught at home. The schools have enough to do. Great grandparents or grandparents to be teaching this too their kids so they can pass it to the grandkids. Put your kids in scouts so they learn all kinds of useful life skills.
@@Diniecita doing crafts in scouts is ok but remember they need to get outside and learn life skills. Not sitting for another 3 hours after sitting in school all day. They need to learn how to. BE PREPARED .....tie knots, identify poisonous plants verses edible ones for survival, how to light a fire with minimal items, go geocaching, how to handle and respect tomahawks/pocket knives/bb gu-ns, set up shelters, how to cook on a fire, how to swim and ride a bike, learn how to work on your bike or cars, use a canoe, learn safety not do crafts. So if you have life skills, teach them. I was a Cub Scout leader & the Cub Master. Our group did everything above I mentioned. Our boys had a blast and we strived to earn ever single badge there was. Our kids loved doing everything and had a blast. Every one of those kids today respect the safety and use of any weapons and know that they are not toys.
Many kids don’t have someone at home to teach them certain things, whether it’s because they don’t have someone who will take the time to do it or the adult at their home doesn’t have that knowledge. However, I do think schools are overwhelmed with teaching too many things. I think the content in schools should be reevaluated and classes like home economics, basic life skills, and basic tech skills should be taught. I’m saying that as a high school science teacher for 17 years.
I was lucky. My Irish Gran, who ruled the family, raised me and taught me all the important lessons needed to help me through life's surprises. GOD starred always in her lessons. Gran also had a lot of cool tricks. She used this one especially to wrap things like Christmas lights and the clothes line using a big sized wooden flat hand, long fingers cut out of plywood and varnished. At a few inches short of 5' her hands were too small for most things she neatly wrapped. She was the neatest person, her farm home always ready for company. If a stranger knocked on her door they were offered milk or coffee, a sandwich and fresh pie and departed, with leftovers, as a friend. The only fail I ever witnessed was when she tied the rope to our Jersey Cow's horns and then to a cement block. Sitting on that block to milk was a bad mistake. Never saw the sweet cow take off running before, and that cement block bouncing behind. Oh, what a sight! Luckily, Gran only bounced twice before she let go of the rope. I may have Irish blood that loves a good laugh but not one giggle escaped. I was not a foolish child.
I do this with water hoses. I make a figure 8 on the ground and they never tangle or get clinched. A foolproof way of putting electrical cords away is single strand crochet loops. I never have knots or kinks or anything. Just pull out to extend to the amount I need. Super practical.
You must not know how extension cords are made...hey if it works for you great. Just a word of advice extension cords have a way they need to be wrapped the manufacturers could tell you this. Long term your going to put memory into your extension cord and they will fail. But hey if it works for you and you don't mind replacing them go for it.

Some Boy Scout troops taught knot tying as a part of camping. It is a hands on way to learn problem solving. Built shelters, tied loads to vehicles, built towers and camp furniture. I lashed sticks together to make a 4' tall replica of the Space Needle. Like a few the other commenters here I was also a teenager in Scouts in the 1960s. It was a valuable community organization for us. I raised my son with the assistance of Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting and our Methodist church, our school district and the rowing club.
@@divyanshutrivedi7419 I've tried this six times with 1/4" rope and it doesn't work! Anything smaller is cordage or string... Good for toys and gamers, not for real life.
Ironically I am seeing this video on 14th January which is called Uttarayan(kite flying festival), this knot is common in Kite flying, it's called Lacchi in Local Gujarati language. Every Gujju knows how to tie this knot. Have a safe and wholesome uttarayan.
Works awesome as a quick deploy with a bow line and a carbineer clipped through both the bowline and a loop on your shoulder strap. Use this to then tie onto my bow to haul up after I'm in the tree stand.
There’s all sorts of cool stuff that people only learned because that is common for their area. For instance know nothing about snowshoes. I’m from south Texas. Pointing these types of things out only proves the ignorance of “you don’t even know what you don’t know.”
Lol, love it and don’t mind the haters… people are way too sensitive in this upside down world🤦🏻♂️ btw, for those that don’t know, Jesus is King and coming back soon🙌🏼
Edit again: Just deleting my comment. I've gotten grief too many times about my phrasing, errors, and messages where people think they're being funny but they're just making fun of me. There is a difference.
Ok not gonna lie either, but I’m gonna use this technique for my Shibari ropes that my wife and I use for bondage play! We can get to the action faster without tangles!
This is maanja lapet. Not new to us, we always do this with the thread while flying kites in India. 😂😂Lol. So funny, they do something we've been doing since like 4 yrs of age and their minds are blown.😂
This is how they taught us to wind long measuring tapes in sewing class. I learned the same thing the next semester in shop class, except with rope and extension cords.
Exactly this dude never paid attention or is trying to capitalize on others that never paid attention when being taught lessons. Eagle Scouts exists aka Boy Scouts.
That's cool I'll keep this in mind while I'm starving to death at Walmart. Mine as well start cultivating my own food now I know how to wrap some string. Better way takes 1 second bundle it up and just throw it aside so much easier.
im from malaysia..well,they do teach this in my school..i remember back when i was 10 i joined boy scout at school and they taught us this among many other survival skills..
That is awesome I deal with string like that a lot and I'm always spending a lot of time unwinding it. The amount of stuff that they taught us in school that I have never used, versus the amount of stuff I could have learned to prepare for life is ridiculous.

well the guy kept lliterally taught a lot of people who watched this video, so yes it can be taught.. not all of us think of every single thing we ever learn all by ourselves
True but at the same time I suggest buying wireless ones. They're as low as $6. Just make sure to check if they have bass and at least 4 hour battery life.
Teaching knots, how to secure different items in a truck with rope, basic mechanic / car learning & cooking should be part of school curriculum K-12. People would be way better off
So basically, teachers need to add knots and gardening to the multitude of other out-of-subject concepts we are expected to teach? Are you willing to support policies that increase supports for public education? Many school districts are already tragically underfunded and under staffed. I appreciate the sentiments and wish we could teach so much more than we do. I just wish there was more support for our public education system. Peace
Yes, absolutely 💯 I support education. How about they quit teaching the lies that is on the agendas and taught how to survive and grow food. I know you were trying to bash me, but I support teachers, medics, the police, I do not support the corruption that has infected our country. Bless the teachers, the medics, the farmers, the police, etc... screw all the greed, corruption, and Evil In this world. ALWAYS, AGAIN, ALWAYS, DO THE RIGHT THING! NO MATTER IF THEY PAY YOU NOT TOO! (MIC DROPPED AS I WALK OFF!)
@@jasongarling20”I support teachers”. Says they should add more teaching to their already cramped schedules while they are underpaid and overworked. Sure buddy, you support them so much. How about parents actually become parents again and stop relying on schools for every single thing they want their kid to know. Pick up gardening, teach it to your kids. That shouldn’t be on the schools to do.
They taught me this in school during extra curricular in the boy scouts unit. A lot of useful stuff but I always forget when I need them since I don't practice them often. So maybe don't blame school when we don't know about something, sometimes we just need to learn it somewhere else.
@@G19Jeeper Ha I don't have any weird boy scout stories but my old scout master used to have camp overs where he'd have a bunch of us over and he'd just stay in his house. Just like, a bunch of hick ass Appalachian boys in pup tents with free reign over miles and miles of property. A bunch of 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. I was just allowed to have my .410 break barrel shotgun on me at my own discretion. Kept it in my tent and everything. Never shot it and I was taught to be absolutely responsible with it. But that'd never fly today. None of that shit would fly. Just a dozen other boys all stalking around through the woods with me, a loaded gun, and no adults. It was a wild time in retrospect. Can't believe no one ever got hurt. But with shit like that in mind plus all the weird pedo stuff I'm not surprised BSoA has been shut down. There was obviously no prerequisites to being a scout leader. Pretty sure ours was just a random dude who liked hunting and bullshitting with everyone's dads about deer or football.
Good point, I agree, but I don't think he was blaming school that he didn't learn it there, but rather I think he was pointing out that these types of skills merit a place in the classroom.
@@J-W_Grimbeek I think you missed a big point there. He forgot them because he never uses them. Why blame a school for not teaching something that will never get used? Blame them for kids not being able to spell their own names when they graduate highschool, not skills almost all will find useless later in life and they'll never remember.
Hah likely my channel - 2 shorts ago if you go back 😁 I did 3 shorts on coiling, one extension cord figure 8, one longer cords with a loop, and this for shorter cords. Then I’ll have the longer comprehensive vid coming out soon!
It works with ribbons, trims, & lace as well as cordage. Just keep the same side facing out as you go around finger & thumb. We call it "butterfly" wrap. It gets rid of all that twist you ordinarily get from a circular wrap.
I knew this since I was 5 . We flew lot of kites and in order to grab a cut kite dropping from sky, we ran and grabbed the thread and tied it on our gloves, many of.my friends were super fast with this trick, I still use it with rope when I tie burlap in fall around my trees . Thanks it’s nostalgic for me
I was taught this in school. It was taught in an elective course called survival science. Our instructor worked for search and rescue and taught us skills that would help us in a survival situation. One of the only courses in high school that i took seriously.
Totally agree with you. I say this OFTEN. Unfortunately, empathy is either taught the hard way front experiencing childhood trauma and/or taught from experiencing a hard adulthood. Smh
My father taught me knots when I was eight.
Tooooo useful all through life.
I'm 67 now.
I also learned this in the 60s at home when I was little. Still very useful. 🇵🇷

I was looking for this comment I learned at school too
A rope? Nope! a shoelace yes.
Smart!
I wouldn't expect them to teach me that in school, but I wish I had learned that when I was in the army. It would have made handling 550 cord a lot easier.
Your Army sounds weak. My Army taught this during the first 15 minutes of soldier training.

@@Mytube6138 yea school is meant for you to be smart enough to figure shit out for yourself if you pay attention and apply yourself. If you finish school and find it hard to learn new things, you just didn't do well in school.

Thank you for sharing here. Sir, you have my gratitude.
We used to do this at school, but involve 2 people to keep expanding the design. It was called 'cats cradle'.
Oh wow! I crochet and I do this to my yarn whenever I’ve changed my mind about a project and unravel it. Never knew it was an actual thing.
For like 200 years
Anything to do with wrapping up/ tying knots has been done before what do you mean?😂
if you’re doing it it’s an actual thing tf
Yeah no you invented this
It's one of those Common Sense type things that anybody with a mind and ability to think would figure out but this idiot didn't pay attention in school and therefore thinks that somehow he can blame school for himself being stupid and voting against democracy while making videos out in the woods pretending he's teaching people that don't already know this because He Just learned.
Some Boy Scout troops taught knot tying as a part of camping. It is a hands on way to learn problem solving. Built shelters, tied loads to vehicles, built towers and camp furniture. I lashed sticks together to make a 4' tall replica of the Space Needle. Like a few the other commenters here I was also a teenager in Scouts in the 1960s. It was a valuable community organization for us. I raised my son with the assistance of Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting and our Methodist church, our school district and the rowing club.

Ironically I am seeing this video on 14th January which is called Uttarayan(kite flying festival), this knot is common in Kite flying, it's called Lacchi in Local Gujarati language. Every Gujju knows how to tie this knot. Have a safe and wholesome uttarayan.

Works awesome as a quick deploy with a bow line and a carbineer clipped through both the bowline and a loop on your shoulder strap. Use this to then tie onto my bow to haul up after I'm in the tree stand.
Hahahaha. I learned when I was 5. That is why it is a blessing growing up in the countryside. We learn things and laugh at posts like this 😅😅😅
Apparently you also learn to be full of yourself in the countryside.

@@alias5281 Just a little something I learned growing up in the cityside. What a blessing! Haha!
There’s all sorts of cool stuff that people only learned because that is common for their area. For instance know nothing about snowshoes. I’m from south Texas. Pointing these types of things out only proves the ignorance of “you don’t even know what you don’t know.”
Lol, love it and don’t mind the haters… people are way too sensitive in this upside down world🤦🏻♂️ btw, for those that don’t know, Jesus is King and coming back soon🙌🏼
Edit again: Just deleting my comment. I've gotten grief too many times about my phrasing, errors, and messages where people think they're being funny but they're just making fun of me. There is a difference.
Ok not gonna lie either, but I’m gonna use this technique for my Shibari ropes that my wife and I use for bondage play! We can get to the action faster without tangles!

This technique is used when electricians take cables off the drums. The lay the cables in a figure 8 on the ground.
Nice one bro!
Similar to this is called "untti" used to preserve manja/saddi (thread used for kiting) in India, if we do not have a charkhadi in hand.
In India we call it " luppate'. The mamja-wallah does this to sell the glassed thread.
This is maanja lapet. Not new to us, we always do this with the thread while flying kites in India. 😂😂Lol. So funny, they do something we've been doing since like 4 yrs of age and their minds are blown.😂
Yet our people invented electricity while yours ish in the streets our minds aren’t blown by your hand tying tbh
@@mikekinlaw4461 why getting offended buddy 😂. It just seems funny how our childhood fun is blowing your mind.
Tu fek me lapetta hu... those who say this sentense, already know this technique.
Love these knot shorts. Thanks!
This is how they taught us to wind long measuring tapes in sewing class. I learned the same thing the next semester in shop class, except with rope and extension cords.
Exactly this dude never paid attention or is trying to capitalize on others that never paid attention when being taught lessons. Eagle Scouts exists aka Boy Scouts.
Yes! We’ve been been doing this, since we were little kids! The best!
That's cool I'll keep this in mind while I'm starving to death at Walmart. Mine as well start cultivating my own food now I know how to wrap some string. Better way takes 1 second bundle it up and just throw it aside so much easier.
im from malaysia..well,they do teach this in my school..i remember back when i was 10 i joined boy scout at school and they taught us this among many other survival skills..
extra curricular activities dont count
@@jamiehamilton6887well it is good their school actually helped people and DID extra things for them
That is awesome I deal with string like that a lot and I'm always spending a lot of time unwinding it. The amount of stuff that they taught us in school that I have never used, versus the amount of stuff I could have learned to prepare for life is ridiculous.
What were your parents doing that they didn't prepare you for life? I mean isn't that what parents are supposed to do? Teach you the things that exist outside of school so that you can be a succesful adult?

Exactly. And also in Poland we call it “emergency rolling” if we do that with fire hoses

This back-and-forth method is actually really handy for earphone cords, so they don't get all twisted up.
True but at the same time I suggest buying wireless ones. They're as low as $6. Just make sure to check if they have bass and at least 4 hour battery life.
Teaching knots, how to secure different items in a truck with rope, basic mechanic / car learning & cooking should be part of school curriculum K-12. People would be way better off
Literally learning only bullshit in school, nothing for future living
it is tho
Where did you go to school that didn't have cooking or auto shop??
@@simonsimon9880 what school did you go to that does have that
Interesting opinion. How about teaching kids to read and write and do basic math. People would be way better off. 🤷🏻♀️✌🏼
they need to teach our children how the financial system works
Patang lootna yaad aa gaya... 😂
I'm great at creating knots and almost as good at getting the knots out😊
Agreed. They should also teach basic gardening
So basically, teachers need to add knots and gardening to the multitude of other out-of-subject concepts we are expected to teach? Are you willing to support policies that increase supports for public education?
Many school districts are already tragically underfunded and under staffed. I appreciate the sentiments and wish we could teach so much more than we do. I just wish there was more support for our public education system. Peace
Yes, absolutely 💯 I support education. How about they quit teaching the lies that is on the agendas and taught how to survive and grow food. I know you were trying to bash me, but I support teachers, medics, the police, I do not support the corruption that has infected our country. Bless the teachers, the medics, the farmers, the police, etc... screw all the greed, corruption, and Evil In this world. ALWAYS, AGAIN, ALWAYS, DO THE RIGHT THING! NO MATTER IF THEY PAY YOU NOT TOO!

@@jasongarling20”I support teachers”. Says they should add more teaching to their already cramped schedules while they are underpaid and overworked. Sure buddy, you support them so much.
How about parents actually become parents again and stop relying on schools for every single thing they want their kid to know. Pick up gardening, teach it to your kids. That shouldn’t be on the schools to do.

BRO LOL WE'RE DOING THAT SINCE CHILDHOOD

@@stoicqueen8557 ?
Why would they teach this in school?
They taught me this in school during extra curricular in the boy scouts unit. A lot of useful stuff but I always forget when I need them since I don't practice them often. So maybe don't blame school when we don't know about something, sometimes we just need to learn it somewhere else.
If you had to learn it extracurricularly then I'm still gonna blame school lmao
Was that before or after the trauma from scout leader?
@@G19Jeeper Ha I don't have any weird boy scout stories but my old scout master used to have camp overs where he'd have a bunch of us over and he'd just stay in his house.
Just like, a bunch of hick ass Appalachian boys in pup tents with free reign over miles and miles of property. A bunch of 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. I was just allowed to have my .410 break barrel shotgun on me at my own discretion. Kept it in my tent and everything. Never shot it and I was taught to be absolutely responsible with it. But that'd never fly today.
None of that shit would fly. Just a dozen other boys all stalking around through the woods with me, a loaded gun, and no adults.
It was a wild time in retrospect. Can't believe no one ever got hurt. But with shit like that in mind plus all the weird pedo stuff I'm not surprised BSoA has been shut down.
There was obviously no prerequisites to being a scout leader. Pretty sure ours was just a random dude who liked hunting and bullshitting with everyone's dads about deer or football.
Good point, I agree, but I don't think he was blaming school that he didn't learn it there, but rather I think he was pointing out that these types of skills merit a place in the classroom.
@@J-W_Grimbeek I think you missed a big point there. He forgot them because he never uses them. Why blame a school for not teaching something that will never get used? Blame them for kids not being able to spell their own names when they graduate highschool, not skills almost all will find useless later in life and they'll never remember.
Pretty cool! Thanks and God Bless!❤
Not sure what channel but i saw the figures 8 technique for extension cord and rope too - obviously not around your fingers though. 😂
Hah likely my channel - 2 shorts ago if you go back 😁
I did 3 shorts on coiling, one extension cord figure 8, one longer cords with a loop, and this for shorter cords.
Then I’ll have the longer comprehensive vid coming out soon!
I actually did learn this in school.
It works with ribbons, trims, & lace as well as cordage. Just keep the same side facing out as you go around finger & thumb. We call it "butterfly" wrap. It gets rid of all that twist you ordinarily get from a circular wrap.
I knew this since I was 5 . We flew lot of kites and in order to grab a cut kite dropping from sky, we ran and grabbed the thread and tied it on our gloves, many of.my friends were super fast with this trick, I still use it with rope when I tie burlap in fall around my trees . Thanks it’s nostalgic for me
We were taught this in the Army, for wrapping antenna guide wires. Best way to do it for sure
You make all these look easy. Knowing my luck I’d have my 2 hands tied together in no time ❤️
That is awesome and a great idea, to have a class that teaches survival and daily function skills.
I don't know what fucked up world you live in, but most of us just need a grocery store nearby in order to survive and function
Thanks for teaching me.
Why would they teach these things in school? What school? Rope school?
I was taught this in school. It was taught in an elective course called survival science. Our instructor worked for search and rescue and taught us skills that would help us in a survival situation. One of the only courses in high school that i took seriously.
And that's how Indian kids Use Thread to fly kite
