Glad that you finally got it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, there is another version that is much easier, but not as symmetrical: th-cam.com/video/fMDtu_imOxU/w-d-xo.html
I did an even easier video on this knot, if you know a Bowline, then this is made from that: th-cam.com/video/fMDtu_imOxU/w-d-xo.html Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I have viewed COUNTLESS videos on how to tie a jug knot and I was literally losing the will to live. Every single one of them demonstrated the knot so quickly I couldn’t keep up. So I had to rewind each stinkin video so many times, I just gave up. I was so desperate I even searched Google for pre-made knots I could purchase. For anyone looking to do the same, don’t waste your time. But THIS video was a Godsend because you took your time and explained so perfectly all the steps and not once did I need to rewind. Because of this, I can’t wait to subscribe and watch your other videos and LIKE! THANK YOU! UPDATE: I needed a bunch of these knots for all the bottled water I purchase, rather than drink my well water. I buy about 25 at a time. I now have all I need, well more than I need. I got a little carried away making them because I now have 30. THANKS to YOU.

@KnottingKnots I found your video enlightening to (finally) get into the knot. Thank you. I have a question: while practicing, i tried to tighten the knot before pulling down the last 2 loops. A knot comes out that seems to me conceptually similar to the apine butterfly loop. in your knowledge does this knot have a name? do you think it could be functional?
Ha ha stumbled upon another one of you great videos. Looking at the knot it looks very similar to a Turk's head knot with the middle lead pulled out. Shame I've still not mastered the thk yet 😆
@@KnottingKnots yer that's better. Been using bowlines for about 20 years while scuba diving, so had to be able to tie it in almost zero visibility. Thanks.
I could not remember how to tie this jug sling and was so frustrated and sad, as I have a trip coming up to the Rocky Mountains. You made my day!! Thank you. It is such a helpful knot for hiking. I am now a subscriber to your channel. Thank you.

good video really well explained . one thing i would do different is instead of the fisherman's knot i would do 2 uni knots . it would do the same thing just look different . i know a lot of fishing knots so that's what i would do more of . i just saw the fisherman's knot and i think ill start using it more
Brilliant!! Glad you popped over and left a comment. I will now go and look up the uni knot, as it is yet another one that I do not know. Mind you having said that, I know very little about fishing knots. I might do a series on fishing knots using larger cord, so as to make it easier to see?
Johnny Debt great idea because most of the fishing knots I know are self tightening knots . Thay kind of have to be seeing as when you put them on a hook you don't want to lose your fish because of the knot you used . There practical and strong knots . Can't wait to see another video from you . Have a fun day
Hello Jonny, thanks for your response. I can tie the jug sling knot now. Thanks - again. I think the slower the better. But I would like to learn more practical knots and also think about a dedactic way of doing so and sharing other insights like mnemonics and so on. But since you are one of my best sources, I will mention you from time zo time. ,,Unfortunately" English is not my mothertongue and we have a lack of certain knot videos in German. So this might be a way of sharing some insights, or transforming information. I think the knots are binding since they are ,,universal".
I am not sure how easy it is to follow in another language? However, I do have one follower who is blind. He and his young daughter listen to and watch the video, then she guides him through the process until he gets it right. Many thanks for mentioning me now and again.
Actually my English is not bad - I almost understand every word (in a non academic context). You have a clear pronunciation comparing to Americans, you must be British, right? I was born in Ireland and was staying in Australia for a year or so. The most challenging part is probably the different terminology for the knots. I have learned the nomenclature in German first and know about 36 knots now. Unfortunately I couldn´t find a similarly exquisite book as the "Clifford Ashleys" >>book of knots
Yes, it must be very frustrating to not have a similar book as Ashely's in your own language. I always appreciate when people watch a video and them make a comment. Thank you so much.
Actually I like this version better than the Bowline version. Just seems easier for me t remember. I'm glad you featured this knot because I have been looking for it for some time. I will be hauling five gallon water bottles up a flight of stairs, and this will come in handy.
Funny how some knots are easier to understand than others? Now that I know it can be done with the Bowline, I really can not remember how to do it the other way!! Why will you be exerting yourself with so much water?
Johnny Debt; great question! My work space is up a long flight of stairs , and my knees are not in the greatest shape. I have a cooler that takes five gallons of water, and makes it ice cold. If the jug knot works, then it saves me many trips up those pesky stairs.
This way is ok if you have a table at hand to work on but I start my jug sling with a manganese knot which is easier and you don't need a table to work on
Yes this way is rather drawn out, however I recently did one where is starts off as a bowline: th-cam.com/video/fMDtu_imOxU/w-d-xo.html I will now go off and play with your method and see how I get on. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Wrong. This knot was not used to hold a bottle in water to keep it cool. This was used on unglazed narrow necked vessels which were filled with water. These were then hung where they could swing freely. The water seeped out very slowly and wet the outside of the vessels. The swinging motion helped the water evaporate cooling the contents even in the warmest climates.
Hello Seamus, please don't shoot the messenger ;-) . Yes, you may well be right, but you may in this method utilise the loop and the two free ends could also be used for something else. I did do an easier version of the knot here: th-cam.com/video/fMDtu_imOxU/w-d-xo.html Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Yep, this one is an awkward one, but I see that you found the easier version.

as always "get knotted"
I often get told far worse 😉 😉 😉
Wrong. This knot was not used to hold a bottle in water to keep it cool. This was used on unglazed narrow necked vessels which were filled with water. These were then hung where they could swing freely. The water seeped out very slowly and wet the outside of the vessels. The swinging motion helped the water evaporate cooling the contents even in the warmest climates.
Why can't a simple slip knot be used? This knot seems a bit unnecessary when all you're trying to accomplish is to encircle the neck of a bottle ???
