Enjoyed this one! I like your practical, no-frills approach, and your suggestion about keeping a bit of cordage on your person at all times is deceptively brilliant. I also spent time in Boy Scouts long, long ago, and even since then I've picked up old Scout manuals from thrift stores, just for the section on knots...!

Keep up the good work.
THanks - yes, knot tying is both practical and a good way to pass time

I'm a big fan of knot tying. I don't have quite as many memorized as you do, but know of them and could look them up... Definitely like the idea of carrying a piece of cordage, I ought to start doing that! I carry a Swiss army knife and another locking folder, but nothing to tie stuff together with!
A suggestion for video #2: choose a second color. Your shirt and the cord were very similar, maybe a plain shirt as well? Would make the knots easier to see.
Nails are sold by the pound, that makes sense.

Thanks! Yeah, I only realized the color of shirt I was wearing today. It is strange how when I focus on one thing I seem not to notice others. Knots are just like anything - just takes practice.

I have fallen a little behind on my knot tying videos, but I just learned a new one that I think is pretty cool. This one will probably be easier to learn using this pic than to see it tied. ENJOY!
