I’ve been trying to use rexlace on my projects because I don’t have other plastic, resistant cords here, this is the only knot that held that terrible slippery line in place. Thank you!!!
I am here to tell you this doesn't work at all unless you got the right shaped container. After two or more hours of trying this over and over it does not work at all on any kind of smooth bottom container the ropes will slip right off and if you are trying to use long enough rope to have a handle that even reaches over the top then it slides all off every way it can. The container has to have humps or grooves in the bottom for the ripe to hold on to and the handles can not extend above the top of the container at all
You just saved my ass big time. I had a brittle 5 gallon plastic paint bucket full of sewer water. Every time I tried to move it it started cracking and breaking around the rim. Your video saved me from a rotten smelly mess. And the most excellent thing it is customizable to fit sized containers. Just use at least 10 feet of rope or more and it will carry 100lbs with the right sized diameter rope. ROPE DIAMETER IS IMPORTANT.
Your first knot is what is usually used to join two rope, lines, strings of different or the same size. Works well. I'm a yatch chandler and have twenty years sea time. If you want ideas please ask.
How about doing this with any object, not just ones with "feet"? This doesn't even work for a cardboard box, let alone smooth plastic containers with rounded bottoms.
Thanks. That is what I've been searching for. I have an elderly lady who lost use of her left arm. Trying to make some way for her to carry a drink or cup of pet food.
I see how I may be able to make this work but I was wondering if there was a better knot/solution for tying a harness for a rolling portable cooler? It is a 28 Qt cooler so not too large but becomes difficult to pull over the sand when I take it to the beach. The fully loaded cooler can get a little heavy so being able to temporarily carry it on my back with shoulder loops/straps would be very convenient.
Oco Jan 2014 - A Knot A knot Is never just a knot A knot Is a problem Meant to be undone Or a solution Holding something together And never anything between There is a knot Between you and me I extend toward you And you toward me And we get tangled And I don’t know If it is a good knot Or a bad knot
It needs a knot at the bottom to keep the cross stable under the object. It slips right off a glass jar and a plastic jug. Please provide a fixed carrier knot that can work on slippery items...
What if the bottom of the object slopes upward? Like a sphere does... I'm trying to hang the soap dispenser's refill vessel for our restroom until we get the replacement dispenser casing delivered, but the thing is shaped like a "U" with the top squared off at a 90⁰ and this video's method does not work at all.
While your video is clear and simple to follow, are there limitations to using this effectively? I've followed it exactly, using a 3" diameter stainless steel water bottle, but the bottom of your carrier knot seems to easily slip off from underneath. I'd be curious to know what I've done wrong, if anything, or perhaps you could show the underside in your video when finished.
It has feet. His container has feet. This doesnt even work for a cardboard box. Look up "shibari friction hitches" and just use those wherever you need with a repeated sheepshank for a handle. 👍
Can you make something to carry a cylinder on its side. I have a big cylinder shapped bluetooth speaker I saved from trash. Works great just needs a handle
Agreed. There has to be a conversion factor relating, say, the diameter of the spherical cow to the length of rope needed to carry it with the carrier knot. 8:1 or 10:1, perhaps. Also useful would be an alternative method for setting up the loop of the carrier knot around the object, concentrating on handling the _fewest possible points_ on the loop itself e.g. points farthest from the crossover point under the object being carried.
I don’t know how but I can never get this knot to work. Whatever I’m carrying always falls out to the side and the bottom slips out from under. I watch and rewatch but it’s the last step pulling the sides I cannot see it.
Looks like just what I need! Gonna use it to pulley an old water heater up an already-grimy carpeted staircase, and then slip a new hybrid w. heater (heavy!) down. Will let you know! BTW, you came up as the 2nd item when I Googled "How to make a rope cradle for lifting heavy object." Glad you did!
From the fingers you used to support your knot to the centre of mass was exactly 12" ! Cool! Thank you for the simplicity of the knot and its explanation! I have a balance I am making with a stone, and that knot is outstanding! Thanks! Sub'd!
I wish I was in Boy Scouts again, so I could challenge the patrols to have a relay carrying a bowling ball using this knot. Six boys have to tie up the bowling ball, then put a pole through the top loop, and two boys carry the bowling ball around a tree and back again, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT!
Not great. The cross at the bottom of the jug isn’t locked in any way, making it prone to slip. Only a jug with 4 lobes at the bottom will sit properly in that cross. Any other shape slips fatally and falls right through the bottom. Further, only 2 of the side crosses are locked while the other two are just ‘laced’. So the handles are prone to becoming uneven, making carrying anything more of a chore than without the sling altogether. I’ve tried to make it work a number of ways, but ended up choosing a better knot.
Cord slides all over.... basically a non-practical application knot. Besides that, if tilted a little the jug will fully dislodge/fall off the cord enclosure. Looks nice in theory but it's a nightmare!

totally agree
same's happening with me
I was a real disappointment after trying to do this for at least 15 minutes.
..."2 or more hours?" Yikes. Well, your tenacity is A1A.
dude.....put a stick on the bottom. come on
There is also the Barrel Knot, but that only has one line across the bottm, but very easy to tie.

It does not work with a perfect cylinder without some kind of groove underneath to keep the cord from sliding form underneath
just put a stick in the bottom
@@IngeniousOutdoors how so? And at which part?
Search for 'Barrel Hitch Knot' on youtube - that might do the trick for you - if it were 2 years ago!!!
This knot is awesome. Thank you so much for posting this.
Our New Years Piñata handle broke so I was able to hang it using this knot, thanks man!
Your first knot is what is usually used to join two rope, lines, strings of different or the same size. Works well. I'm a yatch chandler and have twenty years sea time. If you want ideas please ask.
Got a list of knots that you’d recommend and some applications for them?

Saw something like this on FaceBook , You explained it . Well taught - you rock ! Had the odd urge to subscribe . Strange .
Very clearly explained, thank you!!
Thanks. That is what I've been searching for. I have an elderly lady who lost use of her left arm. Trying to make some way for her to carry a drink or cup of pet food.
This might be my favorite random subscription.
Super neat!!!! I will try it now!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Very easily explained about the carrier knot which is useful to all.thank you very much for sharing.
This knot will help me carry an MRE to finish a 100 mile bike ride on a fixie. Thanks.
So useful, thanks.
Thank you! This will really help me with something at work. Much appreciated.
So how do you determine the needed length of its something smaller? Say like a candle holder.
It didn't work for a small, roughly rectangular clothes basket I think because all the sides are smooth. Nothing for the rope to cling to.
I see how I may be able to make this work but I was wondering if there was a better knot/solution for tying a harness for a rolling portable cooler?

Lol I just subscribed right before he hypnotized me how ironic
Great job. I will try it! Thank you very much.
That was hypnotic.
How long is it ? How do we calculate to see what length the paracord needs ?
Just eyeball it
@@jaxstax2406 but... What if you can't see!??
@@RoRockerB Then you must commit sepoku
Would you recommend this knot to go around either end of a rooftop cargo box to hoist it to the ceiling on a pulley system?
Glad you brought this back!
Hi, what kind of knot to use to bind a large rock that you can't pick up before to put rope underneath?
Oco Jan 2014 - A Knot
A knot
Is never just a knot
A knot
Is a problem
Meant to be undone
Or a solution
Holding something together
And never anything between
There is a knot
Between you and me
I extend toward you
And you toward me
And we get tangled
And I don’t know
If it is a good knot
Or a bad knot
It needs a knot at the bottom to keep the cross stable under the object. It slips right off a glass jar and a plastic jug. Please provide a fixed carrier knot that can work on slippery items...
Thnxs for uploading and sharing
Very Good
Superb. Thanks.
bottom cross keeps falling apart and coming undone... am i doing something wrong or is there an extra way to make it secure
thanks man I made it work with an unworkable amount of rope
A slipped double constrictor with alpine butterfly as a handle and you're good to go
What if the bottom of the object slopes upward? Like a sphere does...
I'm trying to hang the soap dispenser's refill vessel for our restroom until we get the replacement dispenser casing delivered, but the thing is shaped like a "U" with the top squared off at a 90⁰ and this video's method does not work at all.

Same issue for me on the same type of bottle
Same for me
It has feet. His container has feet. This doesnt even work for a cardboard box.
Look up "shibari friction hitches" and just use those wherever you need with a repeated sheepshank for a handle. 👍
1:53 when the paracord is sus
When I saw him do that my fight or flight response kicked in and my whole body got cold
Great Knot! Congrats!
I appreciate you help - very clear explanation
Good idea👍
Thanx bro for ur video.
It is helped me
How do you figure out the length of cordage needed?
I tried ten times the height of the bottle but I had a little left over, i guess nine times would be enough
How do we measure to know how much string we need
Can you make something to carry a cylinder on its side. I have a big cylinder shapped bluetooth speaker I saved from trash. Works great just needs a handle
could you think of anything similar to carry a bigger item let's say a tall rectangular box on your shoulders?
Great One Bro
How do you figure how long a rope you need for larger items, like a bucket or wine carboy???
Agreed. There has to be a conversion factor relating, say, the diameter of the spherical cow to the length of rope needed to carry it with the carrier knot. 8:1 or 10:1, perhaps.
Also useful would be an alternative method for setting up the loop of the carrier knot around the object, concentrating on handling the _fewest possible points_ on the loop itself e.g. points farthest from the crossover point under the object being carried.

Great tutorial..
Love KNOT OF THE WEEK!
Very good 👍
What can u make to assist in carrying a large 5 gallon bucket roughly 60lbs while going up a ladder?
Great tutorial!!!
Very well explained 👌👌👍
😳...I will subscribe....😳
Awesome! Thanks for this!
Perfect, good👍👍👍
where have you been? i needs my knots.
That was and is pretty dam good
Do you think this would work for water heater ?
Very glad you're back !!!
I don’t know how but I can never get this knot to work. Whatever I’m carrying always falls out to the side and the bottom slips out from under. I watch and rewatch but it’s the last step pulling the sides I cannot see it.
It works, i subscribed 😁
Please next time do it slowly and all the angle of camer so that we can see clearly
hey! I'm looking for a way to tie 3 beer cans together. Do you have any ideas?
How do you know how long the rope initially has to be to carry the size of the object? Is there some type of formula?
That's what I'm not understanding
So... How do we figure out the length to tie around a particular object?
Looks like just what I need! Gonna use it to pulley an old water heater up an already-grimy carpeted staircase, and then slip a new hybrid w. heater (heavy!) down. Will let you know! BTW, you came up as the 2nd item when I Googled "How to make a rope cradle for lifting heavy object." Glad you did!

Wait, you reached underneat those two loops and pulled _which cord?_
고맙습니다. thank you. ありがとうございます.
What type of gallon is he using?
I'm pretty sure it's original name is called "The Jug knot".
The "jug sling" I know as a different knot from this one. It's quite a bit tougher to tie but works great.
Does it work with square objects
You could use this with a cardboard box from the supermarket if you find yourself buying more than you needed. Its easy but complicated too
does not work for a slick round glass vial.
Your hand covers the whole first step
I wish I was in Boy Scouts again, so I could challenge the patrols to have a relay carrying a bowling ball using this knot. Six boys have to tie up the bowling ball, then put a pole through the top loop, and two boys carry the bowling ball around a tree and back again, WITHOUT TOUCHING IT!

What..!? At 2.23, you perform a manoeuvre that is blocked by the top of the bottle..! I cannot suss out what you're doing there.
Thank you 👍👌🏻😘😍🤩❤🌷
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to scale this up for a 50 gal water heater... I'll be bringing the laptop! ;-) Thanks!
I'm happy to see you bring this back. Keep up the great work.
Nice...
Awesome stuff, always looking forwards to knot of the week!
That was awesome dude. I expected something really complicated
eu aprendi fazer
Só tem gringo.
Pretty nifty. But what if thw object you need to carry has a stem? Like say a goblet at a renfair.
You hold it.

'bout time! Seriously, thanks for bringing this back.
the knot beginning from 1:25
Who on earth, at the very begining thought these knots up. How could u look at bit of string and figure these things out??
Worde explaining ever
привет! какова длинна верёвки?
Cord slides all over.... basically a non-practical application knot. Besides that, if tilted a little the jug will fully dislodge/fall off the cord enclosure. Looks nice in theory but it's a nightmare!
Woow super i try
How to measure it????

Fuck yeah! KotW is back!!
