Exactly there either needs some elasticity to give phone owner time to brace themselves or just as others say know your surroundings making sure you can see left and right of you so if someone does try you have longer to react.
A general observation, if you are talking on your cell while walking, you are already unsafe! If you need to be on your phone, stop somewhere where you can be more aware of you situation. (Potholes, curbs, railings, grates, crosswalks, etc., etc., can all ruin your day as well.)

Love the magic you display with rope and cord. I have several pieces of line at my desk I play/practice with daily. I received the marlin spike with turks head and keep at my desk. I don't really have a use for the gravity hook but it is so well made and articulates with such precision it's just a fun fidget. But the anchor is favorite hanging from my keychain. A daily fidget made with such precision. Thanks.
Personally, I would use a Bluetooth earpiece with a microphone and keep the phone out of sight in my pocket. You can answer calls easily by pressing a small button on the earphone. You can also get a watch which will connect to your phone by Bluetooth to allow calling and answering your phone. The paracord idea is great if you don't have another alternative.
Using parts from a few of your videos, I have already done this good enough for me, but for a video idea, here goes. When camping in my motorhome, I make a dog run out of paracord. The place I anchor to the motorhome is pretty high up, so the first issue to solve is how to tie it up high but make easy to undo without a ladder. Secondly, whatever I tie the other end to, typically not quite as high up but don’t want to hang people either. Third is how to connect it to the dog, I like to use the dog leash I already have that locks and retracts. The whole thing works great, she is very limited to width by the length of the leash, oh and I failed to mention I use a small metal pulley thing with an eyelet so she can go quite a long way along that pulley. Anyway, love the channel, no clue how popular it may be, but thought I’d suggest it.
1) If you're hooking this to your belt loop (and not your belt), you already have a safety break, at your belt loop. 2) Not sure why I would opt for the hawk-n-hook thing over a carabiner.
A person that weighs about 100 lb would likely get yanked off their feet and dragged for several feet before some belt loops would break. He's just trying to keep people safe if they decide to use this knot.
Excellent point ... most belt *loops* are not intended for tethering valuables to. And if you use the belt to moor your phone to, depending on how much you weigh 😂you may end up yanking the thief off the bike 🤣... will he/she run? or try to beat the (bleep) out of you for tempting them with your phone.? 😳

A knot I like to provide a breakaway: Using a small tube, such as a pen barrel, place a fold of the shorter end of the cord along its length. Taking the opposite end, lay it along the pen in the opposite direction and make 5 turns back along the pen (around all three ends). Finally, pass the tip of the second end up through the centre of the knot, using the tube as a guide - either by pushing it up through the tube or follow the tube as you draw it out, like using a fid. The second end makes a "grinner" knot (quintuple overhand) around the bight of the first, which grips it firmly, but the bight slides out cleanly under tension without catching any bulk from sealing the end. To my knowledge, the preeceeding knot doesn't have a name but I humbly suggest the "half-double grinner" after the related bend (the double-grinner sometimes used by fishermen).
This is a tutorial on how to get dragged around by a motorcycle like Achilles dragged Hector. Sure the safety break exists but then it doesn't stop anyone from pulling your phone then, does it ? Just be aware of what's around you people.

That's neat! If I didn't have a short rope attached to my phone already, I would totally use it when I'm around the water. I've dropped my phone once into the lake, that sucked.
Rule 1 only works when you aren't getting pickpocketed. Or if you sew in hidden pockets on the inside of your clothes in spots people usually wouldn't have pockets. Zippers on pockets add an additional layer of protection as they will have to spend extra time fidgeting with the zipper which would also tug a little giving you some sensation of someone touching you. Situational awareness is also important but not always perfect as all it takes is one little distraction for someone to be an opportunist. Just be mindful of where you are, what I mean by that is some neighborhoods are not the best neighborhoods to be walking around all strapped up with stuff. For instance a buddy of mine had his laptop bag stolen with his laptop and tablet still in it on his way home from work in Oakland... He's lived there for years and has never had any issues until then, one dude acted as a distraction while the other dude came up and snatched the bag right off of him and bolted. Some situations are avoidable, some not so much.
Braided fishing line is much less intrusive. Poke it through a hole in your phone case, and loop through a thin washer. Loop around your belt loop. Done.
Yeah hide your phone and use small wireless earphones .. this is gonna get you dragged to the ground and then attacked most likely … or maybe that call can wait better to be alert than a victim.
There seems to be a lot of confusion about how this is supposed to work. When a thief grabs a phone like that there is no initial resistance because the victim is taking by surprise and it happens too quickly. However the thief will probably not initially have a perfectly secure grip either so a tether snapping taut may be enough to yank it out of his hand. If that doesn't work, the safety break should prevent complete mayhem. Also the belt loop on the pants would probably fail.
If I were going this route, I'd not want a break point at all, but loop it around my belt itself. But situational awareness is better than walking around in your phone.
What happened if those thieves pull you together with the phone? Maybe they manage to drag you along the paveway like 20m. You save the phone but at the cost of your life, worth it? It's a good effort tho
They target wealthy people for that reason, a poor man who can only afford one phone will fight but some liberal White on that trust fund check, well it’s not worth it for them, they just get a new phone, probably an upgrade to boot.
Unlikely they will have gripped your phone with the strength of 120-220lbs. I suppose teeny tiny risk of it catching on their arm and dragging you. Honestly the real reason this is dumb is because it might rip them off their bike and then they just get up and stab you. It's just a phone
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 it's sad to see that people are complacent of their safety in the first place, while the easiest solution is not to use phones while walking or attracting thieves in the first place. There's always opportunities for a problem to begin with.
Hey quick request: I’m a student that gets groceries on my motorcycle. I do a double backpack situation but sometimes it’s not enough space and I end up tying some bags to my backpacks. I’ve used your “groceries on a truck bed” method and it works pretty well using the handle on the backpack, but I’m wondering if there is something more secure for tying up my groceries. I don’t 100% trust it when I’m going 55 or so on a bike or when there is 2 or more bags that I’m tying to that backpack loop.
So it's like a clove hitch but you add a twist in each loop, then pass your two ends through the loop above the twists, and it creates sort of a friction hitch slipknot
More likely the thief will leave the person standing there with NO pants on if it's hooked to them. I don't believe the belt loops is strong enough to hold while someone drives away, it will shred the pants or just break the belt loop. yes the person will probably fall from the initial pull which will assist in the removal of the pants or breaking of the belt loop.
Can you recommend a good lighter/torch for sealing cut ends? I purchase a Solder-It lighter for this and it died after 6 months even though it still has fuel.
This is ridiculous. All you have to do is drill a hole through your phone and put a lanyard through it. I need a life I've been watching way too much TH-cam.
I thought the point of this was to protect your phone so that if they tried to grab it, they couldn't, but then it has you add a safety break which therefore completely defeats the purpose?
Are you serious? In my country, if you put your phone on the street and pick it up. You will be found when the signal is given and you will be put in prison
Love your channel, but the solution to this problem is to PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY AND PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT. You completely lose situational awareness when you use a phone in public. You are prey surrounded by potential predators. ACT LIKE IT.
How dare someone answer a quick text or just check the time. Assuming that this only happens to "phone slaves" is really just creating false security that it wouldn't ever happen to you.
That's very cool. Probably would want to add that break in there... although your instinct would say, "No! My Phone!". hehe I always like to stop bikes by jamming a stick into their front wheel... then you hogtie them with paracord... but I guess this works too. ;)
Not sure of the necessity for the break, if they're on the back of a moped, they're going to lose grip or lose balance before a break would be needed. I can't imagine they'd ever have a strong enough grip such that YOU would be pulled. If they're on foot and yanking hard, the break just defeats the purpose.
@@WahrheitMachtFrei. Sure you don't need a break if you've got a strong base and you're prepared for a tug of war but most unsuspecting people, especially women, face more harm being pulled to the ground than a phone is worth.

I need a life I've been watching way too much TH-cam.
I thought the point of this was to protect your phone so that if they tried to grab it, they couldn't, but then it has you add a safety break which therefore completely defeats the purpose?
Thats the way to survive in Borrell's "garden" :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Supergluing to your hand works too. Or………..maybe use some earbuds.🤭
I was going to say I won't trade my fingers for my phone.
Use earphones if you want to talk walking on the curb. If you're taking pictures on road be mindful of your surroundings. That's all
Wonderful show of skills
Too much crime in London. Poor people hungry people. Snatching things for a piece of bread.
It’s great knots, it’s a pathetic situation
Dont watch the Phone ,watch the Neberhood ! Thats the importand Thing !
Kuala lumpur Malaysia also same problem
Mate, they were riding on the motorbike, they could pull and drag you on the floor which is worst than losing a phone.
Joy of immigration…
You're better off with putting the iron gibbet back up at crossroads. Won't lose your f'n hand to that.
That's great, but they still took the phone
MayI ask what lighter you used?
Are you serious? In my country, if you put your phone on the street and pick it up. You will be found when the signal is given and you will be put in prison
Love your channel, but the solution to this problem is to PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY AND PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT. You completely lose situational awareness when you use a phone in public. You are prey surrounded by potential predators. ACT LIKE IT.
If you need to look at your phone you should do it facing forward, not down. That way you have your peripheral vision
Britain ☕
How dare someone answer a quick text or just check the time. Assuming that this only happens to "phone slaves" is really just creating false security that it wouldn't ever happen to you.
@@georqedubyakush6066 Brits should just get to used to living in a medieval society now. No phones, everyone living in the moment.
@@matt92hun ironically they probably can't even carry swords out like their ancestors
Is that a Carrick bend at the end?
Use ear phones and a smart watch, keep your phone tucked away safely not exposed
What kind of lighter are you using?
the kind that lights
@@ProfessorToadstool 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫡🖕🏻
Eagle Torch (Pen Torch/Cigar Torch models). Took me some time but the Eagle is readable on the "Runner’s Bracelet Tutorial" video, around 5:53
Now your little phone has a nice quick grab easy to see handle.... street smarts is still the best.
Sad, but as a Londoner I know we’re a bunch of tea leafs 😢
Atwood Rope rates their gutted paracord @ 325lbs breakage strength.
That's very cool. Probably would want to add that break in there... although your instinct would say, "No! My Phone!". hehe
I always like to stop bikes by jamming a stick into their front wheel... then you hogtie them with paracord... but I guess this works too. ;)
Not sure of the necessity for the break, if they're on the back of a moped, they're going to lose grip or lose balance before a break would be needed. I can't imagine they'd ever have a strong enough grip such that YOU would be pulled.
If they're on foot and yanking hard, the break just defeats the purpose.
@@WahrheitMachtFrei. Sure you don't need a break if you've got a strong base and you're prepared for a tug of war but most unsuspecting people, especially women, face more harm being pulled to the ground than a phone is worth.
@@Sankara561 True. The sad truth is one can't expect to walk around with a phone in London and not get it stolen, so either don't get it out at all, or get to a secure location to do so, also keep your head on a swivel...
@@WahrheitMachtFrei. The sad truth is one can't expect to walk around with a phone in London and not get it stolen?
Do you realize how ridiculously hyperbolic that statement is?
@@Sankara561if you get harmed during the robbery, it turns from minor pickpocketing to robbery and assault (or at least it should, Ianal)
Just need a device that looks like a phone but instead is an anti-thief device that has a remote detonation feature which activates when snatched from its owner.
Or remotely
i did it w the charging cable which worked out where i could charge it and have it secure in the vehicle
i suggest more advanced phone detonation kit
Hello,
You make good content. Can you make a bicycle phone holder/mount with paracord.
Thanks
