A knot for storing spools of rope, string, or cord. 

Best channel on the Internet for knot nerds like me

This channel is the gift that keeps on giving

Make a loop, three twists and throw it over the rope coil, pull tight to secure it. Been doing it that way for 40 years.

I love it! Thank you very much for your kind sharing and great way to explain!

Your knot videos are amazing, and even better when dedicated ❤

Fantastic as always. The dryer test was brilliant.

This is a video I’ve been looking for but hadn’t realized it until I saw it!! Excellent, thanks.👍👍👌

I like it. Especially the way you can use line still on a spool without cutting it.

👍🏻 Nice .. i have a roll of garden twine which is very uncooperative when it comes to knots, and likes to unwind itself out of spite - this may be just what I'm looking for!

That's actually a pretty good way to test something's durability; I'll have to keep the dryer in mind for that from now on

I love this knot! I've always had a problem how to finish a spool of rope so it doesn't untie itself after some time. Thank you kindly!

Love your vids Brotherman! Thanks for sharing all of your knot knowledge!

💡 So after a bit of experimentation, i discovered a method that is even better suited to my spool of garden twine: instead of doubling back over your thumb as you did .. i grabbed that bight and twisted it into a loop that catches the working end's next and final turn around the spool. So it's like half a sheep shank, where the twisted bight behaves like the half hitch on one end of a sheep shank. Works like charm - thanks for the inspiration!

Great video, well explained and demonstrated and more importantly, very useful. Many thanks

I'm very excited about this, thanks. Possibly overexcited, perhaps I should get out more ...

Fantastic! I've always been bothered by the instability of "just tuck the loose end". This is a great solution, especially the Cow Hitch version. BTW -- I love my Piranhas 😁

Slingstone seems to be similar but opposite of the cat's paw. But only one turn is necessary. Cool!… after another look and some testing it’s the same as a cat paw with one full twist.

Awesome as usual, thank you!

As a kid I was in the boy scouts and not even they ever taught me actually useful stuff like thsi.

exactly what I asked for in the previous video, thanks

*You are absolutely knot the best!*

Great video and explanation! How did you wind the string around your tube/bottle like that? I've "figure 8'd" it around a stick or pipe, but your method looks way more pleasing, uniform and functional. Thank you!

Do you have a video of the way you wrapped that 2 liter blank?

brilliant

Very useful

I like that little bottle setup you have I've done a similar setup with the paracord down inside and a hole in the lid and you just pull the cord out the hole. What did the little bottle start it's life as, if you recall? It's the perfect size.

I do 3 or 4 half hitches. then tuck the tag end. If you do one half hitch you can untuck the end and take off as much ass you need without undoing the knot and just retuck the end. For long lengths I roll up my cord and tie off like you would a climbing rope.

Question for you Brent. What are the differences in the fishbone and the piranha? I really like your tube with fishbones and cords, but I already have a few piranha. Will the piranha fit into one of those tubes that you sell the fishbones in? Thank you for your time.

Could this also work as a way to connect a prusik attached to a Ridgeline to a tarp that is being set up?

Love to see that the ten bajillion pack of yellow microfibers at Costco is almost ubiquitous. I see them literally everywhere

Where are you getting the preforms?

Where could I buy that book??

i can't get this to reliably hold
