How to Tie Down a Watermelon 

The melon industry doesn't want people to know this, I hope you stay safe.

Finally, I've been waiting for this video for years now

Ok. This is the First of your videos I've seen and you gained a subscriber in the first 30 seconds. I have comments in two categories: 1- I was a museum rigger on traditional sailing ships. I trained in high angle rescue in the fire department. And I was a professional climber for a tree service. Knots were, literally, my life. 😬.... I love this hitch. Very creative. And your demonstration of the tying and use was very clear and easy to understand. 2- as a user of the internet... I'm never disappointed in people's ability to miss the point. If the introduction to the video, with it's heartfelt music and dramatic reenactment of what happens to thousands of innocent watermelons yearly, doesn't show you the value of this.... Well, I grieve for our future. Well done!

This will be a great way to display the heads of my enemies. Thank you.

In Australia 🇦🇺 we just sit it on the back seat 😂🍻🤘

you're hilarious dude. "10's of watermelon are lost per year." lol. nice video and technique.

This'll definitely help the economy in some way or another

The number of people commenting that don't see the application of this knot beyond the watermelon astonishes me....

I always transport single watermelons in back of my truck like that! That was the solution I was looking for 😂

This is a great hitch and has many applications. I used it with a tennis ball and two shoelaces and my dog is very happy with his new fetch toy.

Can also be used to secure a counter weight stone or for a stone anchor in a survival situation. Thanks

Takes too long. I usually cut the melon in half, then put the flat sides down so it won’t roll ! ! !

Amazing! Next hallowe'en I'm going to do a pumpkin like this 👍🏼

Thank you, just and understandably shown everything you need to repeat, used for such goals by a barrel node, but this method has its own advantages and one of them is "it's beautiful ..". Of course this advantage is not the only one, 😀 Thanks to Comrade)

Brilliant!!! Thank you. I can’t wait to try it out. Save the watermelons!! Next.... world hunger.

IDK why youtube recommended this for me. Not complaining. Good video.

But will it work on a cantaloupe?

BEEN WAITIN 4 THIS ONE

You just solved my transporting a handpan on the back of a trike bike problem. Thank you!!

Thanks for sharing this!

Hmm, I’ve had issues securing a 20lb propane tank in the truck bed with ratchet straps. I could use this I guess.

I'd love one of these with a quick open/close method to transport a football to and from the field.

Next - how to tie down all your MnM so they don't fly around in your car.

Bravo Monsieur , ce nœud trouvera sa place dans le milieu de la pêche .Merci beaucoup. Best regards from France

great stuff! thanks for sharing

When you don't want your watermelon floating away.

That dramatic statement about lost watermelons really caught me off guard. Nearly choked on a ham sandwich while laughing like an idiot.

I've been around the world, to three county fairs and a goat roping contest. But I've never seen the likes of this!!! Most interesting....

THANK YOU FOR THE EDUCATION

how to carry two twenty litter water bottles on motorcycle/bike? with ropes only... also the the pressure should not be on the seat or tank. .... what is the max number of 20L water bottles can be carried? without making extra iron box

Nice! Thx

Photo bomb foot for fun. Gotta love those rascals

Puts o cara é uma máquina de fazer nós se louco muito profissional 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷

LMAO!!! Uh, I never really thought about it.

I totally agree with you Mr Leon. I just posted a post to another person who doesn’t seem to get what this legion is doing. Have you seen he’s automatic inline truckies hitch Mr Leon ?. Brilliant is the 1 word i think of when i talk about the way he ties that knot. Cheer’s…

"I carried a watermelon" -- Baby

Your voice keeps reminding me to mr Pink from reservoir dogs XD

Me, an intellectual: **puts watermelon on the floor of the passenger seat**

I will stick to my own method, " hold it or lose it kid"

How does the watermelon feel about rope burn?

That's pretty cool, I dont think I want it hanging in the sun for to long.

have you considered cloth?

Awesome!!👍🏻 Классно получилось, но слишком заморочно ради одного абуза.. а каждый так перематывать устанешь.. 😄😅 это в исключительных случаях применимо.. 🤔

Good~!

Put it on the car seat perhaps?

I wonder, how do you bring a bunch of eggs home from the grocery store? ;) JK, you have a great channel with a lot of practical solutions.

Ok, I take a bag😂

hmm, yes, watermelons

I use a small net. Done

Scrolling thru... I thought thumbnail was a ninja turtle. 🐢

This would be real useful for carrying a coconut shell water container or an ostrich egg water container or any container for that matter. Thanx

How to secure with a very precise rope

What is the hitch called?

Great timestamp

What about a bag or a fruit box or a net?

I'm trying this out on a basketball because I ride my bike to the parks and don't want to have to carry it underneath my arm. The concept is practible...

This is how I tie down Big Girls in the back of my truck..

Strap it to your passengers seat with the seat belt!

That's why you should buy square watermelons.

I'm probably not going to have time to truss up the watermelon that I'm stealing from my neighbor's garden before the barking dog alerts him and he comes out the backdoor with his shotgun. However, it is a cute concept.

RFDave , the whole thing is about “KNOTS” , it’s a knot channel , the object is to show you a way to tie down particular scenarios in their different applications. I think he brings some great knots to the table for people like you for instance to learn how to tie such knots he introduces in his knot videos RFDave. So sit up & pay attention , you might learn something. Have you seen he’s other knot videos? , the INLINE AUTOMATIC TRUCKIES HITCH is a particularly a great way he shows you how to tie it. I can’t remember his channel off hand , but if you ever get the chance to watch him tie that knot , advisable to do so as it is a great knot to have in your arsenal of knots RFDave. Cheer’s….

So why not put out safely in the cab of the truck

Who puts an unsecured watermelon in the back of a pickup?

жаль сезон арбузов давно кончился! с новым годом!

I had a girlfriend that this could really have helped her...

Anyone having a laugh is foolish. If half the delivery drivers my kitchen sources employ knew this type of care and shit, 5-15% of our received product would actually yield something. You're 1st class, First Class Amateur

Now you can tie eggs.. LOL

Now apply the sling video to this watermelon

I feel like I wasted time learning how long it takes to rope a watermelon. Nifty, but I feel like it’s a waste of time for a watermelon.

Nothing a helmet law can't fix.

🤔🧐 what if your line is too elastic and crater/ pothole comes outta no where then the laws of physics and inertial energy take over and watermelon, harness and all bounces up and down the SPLAT! goes melon anyway just a thought

Bugger that .. I'll have the bananas instead...

🇨🇦👍🏻🍉

I put the watermelon on the passenger side seat and the Wife in the back

Nah, I'd either eat it or use a bag.

Brilliant knob, silly reason

Or... You can just put it inside the car...

I guess You like bondage kink :D You are best dude

khaby lame: just put it in a tote bag. then you can hang/tie the tote anywhere

If so many water melons are damaged whilst rolling around in the back of a pickup, why do the stupid drivers not put the melon in the cab ???

?

Do it slowly if you would like to teach people how to do it!

So much work to carry a single watermelon in the back of the truck, friend, congratulations on the intelligence in making the knots, I think it's really cool and I admire the knots, but this is ridiculous! Kkkkk

ooh, kinky~

it's quite interesting, but I think it's very unlikely that anyone would want to waste their time making this knot to tie a single watermelon to the back of their truck.

Ah yes, all art is quite useless.

Why not just keep the single watermelon inside the truck this was useless

This man really knows how to use his “melon” 🤣😎🫥🫡

You just solved my transporting a handpan on the back of a trike bike problem. Thank you!!
