I Wish They Taught THIS In School!! 

I also learned this in the 60s at home when I was little. Still very useful. 🇵🇷

I learned my knots working in the theater biz and yes useful for a lifetime. I’m 73. Good on you.

Learned knots reading my dad's old blue jackets manual and in Boy Scouts...in the 70s before it was ruined

That's amazing, I love seeing stories like this, makes me miss my pops. Remembering the days helping him build our family home as his helper during my teenage years. Golden days of my life

59 years of knots 🤔 NICE

FBI Missing persons- 🧐👀

​@@aaronrodden8121😂😂

The knot I learned from RU-vid was the Universal knot

My most usefull knot is the granny knot. It's how I know if I tied a reefknot wrong

The "constrictor knot" is not an actual knot but rather a "hitch" and it's called the "clove hitch", great for tree work, mostly used for small things like sending a water bottle up to the climber or rigging multiple limbs at once

These types of classes would go mainstream when the world is in a fallout and then aftermath.

I taught some things when I was in Girl Scouts and got a poacher out crossbow hunting caught when we were out camping. They wound a lot of deer that end up getting away with life altering injuries. That's what this guy did. I grew up going to my family's hunting cabin, so I learned a few things watching them. I think it's crazy how many life skills aren't taught in schools.

​@@mankybrains When the world is in a fallout & aftermath, would be a little late!

It’s called join the Boy Scouts !

A wilderness survival class would be useless in school

No. Doing a coil, even if "stacked" neatly, imparts a half twist into the cord. Do what we call a "butterfly"; the rope just passes back and forth across your knee, or neck.

​@@billtait9661 "or neck" u good, my guy? 😂

​@@meeese6_ 😂 I'm invisioning this on a large ship, and thinking ..."you don't even want you foot to be in a rope coil"..good way to get pulled overboard 😅.

So., if you stack some loops forwards., some behind., drop it, and carry on, it will still be fine, because there are still twists? @@billtait9661

My fiancé is an electrician. They do this with their cables.

Knitting & Croshittin you say?

I was thinking that too. All those little bundles

Yes. This has been done in knitting for centuries. It is a figure eight wind. 😂

⁠​⁠​⁠@@kimberlysharp-ko1301 Certainly you must know that some people teach themselves how to do hobbies, crafts, mechanics etc. due to uninterested parents, financial, classes not offered or any other reason. People learn by trial and error, reading, listening and seeing things being done. They were able to connect the concept and imagine its use and how helpful it would be in another subject, area or craft so they shared with others hoping to help them also; just like the very first person the idea originated with. I’m curious what your (or anyone that does this) reasoning is for laughing at someone that learned something new to them? Is it just to embarrass, belittle or shame them? Or are the laughs trying to prove your superior intelligence?

Came to say the same thing 😂

You can actually do the same motion with your arms outstretched to bundle up big shit like that. You look kinda goofy though because you’re doing the figure eight by flapping your arms around lol

I wrap my Christmas lights around a piece of cardboard .

lol! that would be inpossible!!

just go through ur palm and around ur elbow and just keep going in circles

Exactly! 😂😂 Great idea though.

Yeah, I think he'd really get into crochet class too

If you are careful with the ends, it won’t do that.

We just joined scouts. Im thinking about taking over as craft leader.

@@Diniecita doing crafts in scouts is ok but remember they need to get outside and learn life skills. Not sitting for another 3 hours after sitting in school all day. They need to learn how to. BE PREPARED .....tie knots, identify poisonous plants verses edible ones for survival, how to light a fire with minimal items, go geocaching, how to handle and respect tomahawks/pocket knives/bb gu-ns, set up shelters, how to cook on a fire, how to swim and ride a bike, learn how to work on your bike or cars, use a canoe, learn safety not do crafts. So if you have life skills, teach them. I was a Cub Scout leader & the Cub Master. Our group did everything above I mentioned. Our boys had a blast and we strived to earn ever single badge there was. Our kids loved doing everything and had a blast. Every one of those kids today respect the safety and use of any weapons and know that they are not toys.

I'm a grandmother and I am just learning this like you are, sorry. However, I can read and write cursive.😅

Many kids don’t have someone at home to teach them certain things, whether it’s because they don’t have someone who will take the time to do it or the adult at their home doesn’t have that knowledge. However, I do think schools are overwhelmed with teaching too many things. I think the content in schools should be reevaluated and classes like home economics, basic life skills, and basic tech skills should be taught. I’m saying that as a high school science teacher for 17 years.

I was lucky. My Irish Gran, who ruled the family, raised me and taught me all the important lessons needed to help me through life's surprises. GOD starred always in her lessons. Gran also had a lot of cool tricks. She used this one especially to wrap things like Christmas lights and the clothes line using a big sized wooden flat hand, long fingers cut out of plywood and varnished. At a few inches short of 5' her hands were too small for most things she neatly wrapped. She was the neatest person, her farm home always ready for company. If a stranger knocked on her door they were offered milk or coffee, a sandwich and fresh pie and departed, with leftovers, as a friend. The only fail I ever witnessed was when she tied the rope to our Jersey Cow's horns and then to a cement block. Sitting on that block to milk was a bad mistake. Never saw the sweet cow take off running before, and that cement block bouncing behind. Oh, what a sight! Luckily, Gran only bounced twice before she let go of the rope. I may have Irish blood that loves a good laugh but not one giggle escaped. I was not a foolish child.

You must not know how extension cords are made...hey if it works for you great. Just a word of advice extension cords have a way they need to be wrapped the manufacturers could tell you this. Long term your going to put memory into your extension cord and they will fail. But hey if it works for you and you don't mind replacing them go for it.

Me, as well.

😂 some how it's known to every Indian or any country s kid how fly kites lol😅

Ship Ahoy! You bet. You lay the rope on the deck besides I also flew kites 🪁 as a Kid

I joined the Navy in 1995, I wanted to learn knot tying, small stuff, etc. I learned this from this video, because the Navy only uses four knots. I bought a book to learn more.

1969 at NORAD, “butterflying” paper tape messages from the crypto room before feeding into tape-to-card punch. Probably something IBM came up with 🤷‍♂️

As a teacher, I’ve taught many practical things in school. Column addition and subtraction for example.

The internet meme of "these things should be taught in school" needs to die already. Parents, friends, scouts etc can teach things too. This won't help anyone's career.

​@@Qui-9love for country,?

And yet here you are, writing in full sentences with no spelling mistakes. 🙄

Your Army sounds weak. My Army taught this during the first 15 minutes of soldier training. This is my rifle, this is my gun!! This is for fighting, this is for fun!!!

I thought you had to have a certain IQ to get into that place?

For like 200 years

Anything to do with wrapping up/ tying knots has been done before what do you mean?😂

if you’re doing it it’s an actual thing tf

Yeah no you invented this

It's one of those Common Sense type things that anybody with a mind and ability to think would figure out but this idiot didn't pay attention in school and therefore thinks that somehow he can blame school for himself being stupid and voting against democracy while making videos out in the woods pretending he's teaching people that don't already know this because He Just learned.

You can learn on your own, I've pretty much been doing that my whole 70yrs now

Yeah like how the hell to file taxes.

@@jopainting1668I love when people say this because the only people who do are the same ones who wouldn’t pay attention. If you make enough for your taxes to be complicated, then you make enough to pay an accountant.

@@jopainting1668most schools do

@@Mytube6138 yea school is meant for you to be smart enough to figure shit out for yourself if you pay attention and apply yourself. If you finish school and find it hard to learn new things, you just didn't do well in school.

👍👍👍

I was looking for this comment I learned at school too

A rope? Nope! a shoelace yes.

Smart!

Exactly this dude never paid attention or is trying to capitalize on others that never paid attention when being taught lessons. Eagle Scouts exists aka Boy Scouts.

Apparently you also learn to be full of yourself in the countryside.

@@seigeengine lmao good shit

@@alias5281 Just a little something I learned growing up in the cityside. What a blessing! Haha!

There’s all sorts of cool stuff that people only learned because that is common for their area. For instance know nothing about snowshoes. I’m from south Texas. Pointing these types of things out only proves the ignorance of “you don’t even know what you don’t know.”

Lol, love it and don’t mind the haters… people are way too sensitive in this upside down world🤦🏻‍♂️ btw, for those that don’t know, Jesus is King and coming back soon🙌🏼

In India we call it " luppate'. The mamja-wallah does this to sell the glassed thread.

This is maanja lapet. Not new to us, we always do this with the thread while flying kites in India. 😂😂Lol. So funny, they do something we've been doing since like 4 yrs of age and their minds are blown.😂

Yet our people invented electricity while yours ish in the streets our minds aren’t blown by your hand tying tbh

What were your parents doing that they didn't prepare you for life? I mean isn't that what parents are supposed to do? Teach you the things that exist outside of school so that you can be a succesful adult?

Was that before or after the trauma from scout leader?

​@@G19Jeeper Ha I don't have any weird boy scout stories but my old scout master used to have camp overs where he'd have a bunch of us over and he'd just stay in his house. Just like, a bunch of hick ass Appalachian boys in pup tents with free reign over miles and miles of property. A bunch of 4-wheelers and dirt bikes. I was just allowed to have my .410 break barrel shotgun on me at my own discretion. Kept it in my tent and everything. Never shot it and I was taught to be absolutely responsible with it. But that'd never fly today. None of that shit would fly. Just a dozen other boys all stalking around through the woods with me, a loaded gun, and no adults. It was a wild time in retrospect. Can't believe no one ever got hurt. But with shit like that in mind plus all the weird pedo stuff I'm not surprised BSoA has been shut down. There was obviously no prerequisites to being a scout leader. Pretty sure ours was just a random dude who liked hunting and bullshitting with everyone's dads about deer or football.

Good point, I agree, but I don't think he was blaming school that he didn't learn it there, but rather I think he was pointing out that these types of skills merit a place in the classroom.

@@J-W_Grimbeek I think you missed a big point there. He forgot them because he never uses them. Why blame a school for not teaching something that will never get used? Blame them for kids not being able to spell their own names when they graduate highschool, not skills almost all will find useless later in life and they'll never remember.

Hah likely my channel - 2 shorts ago if you go back 😁 I did 3 shorts on coiling, one extension cord figure 8, one longer cords with a loop, and this for shorter cords. Then I’ll have the longer comprehensive vid coming out soon!

even in the 90's we were still wrapping everything in paper & string! I'm sure there are places still that do that!
