Tie Your Boots with the Surgeon's Knot 

Thank you for this video. I just started wearing Thursday Captains last week. I love the boots, but I couldn’t walk for five minutes without my laces coming loose. I searched RU-vid for how to tie boot laces, and found your video. Today I used the surgeon’s knot for the first time to tie my boots. I wore the boots today from 1:00 PM to 10:00PM, without the laces coming loose at all. Much obliged to you.

I call it the boy scout knot... That's how I was taught it.

You know what really grinds my gears?? 😂

I've always used DIY paracord laces, but never knew how to get the proper knot. This makes total sense and is a big help with the pain on "number two". Thank You for sharing this information.

I teach students ages 3 to 80, and I always encourage their learning the surgeon's knot for shoe lace tying. It never occurred to me use the knot before applying laces to the hooks on hiking boots. Great idea! Cheers and thanks!

Thanks a lot sir! Been using it for a couple weeks and has worked flawless! Your channel is definitely a must! Just wish you published more frequently

Everytime I tie my boot laces I think of this video. Hope your good, miss your videos but above all have a great Christmas

How have I never known about this?! Always hated going downhill because my sweaty feet would slip towards the front. Can't wait to try it!

Thank you for that shoe-tying solution! My laces were driving me crazy. As for the poop bag problem, if someone took the time to bag it, that’s great. If it’s left on the side of the trail it probably means they’ll pick it up on their way back. That’s what I sometimes have to do when the trail doesn’t have litter cans along the way and I don’t want to carry poop along. Definitely don’t think it’s your problem. I’m grateful to just see folks bag it.

Excellent demo. Thank you so much. Looks very neat as well.

you got a great thing going here , your channel is the opposite than the other survival channels, i like it a lot . I cant get enough of your vids and teachings good sir thank you !

I just relaced my boots with paracord. Great tip! Thanks.

This is why bootlaces are always seemingly too long.

I'm going to try both suggestions, the surgeon's knot....and leaving dogshit where it drops, out of courtesy.

Great demo, going to give that a try! Cheers Alan

thanks for the video. Very helpful!

Thanks for the help this video was really well made💯🔥

You always come up with very sensible ideas, also like the way you present them in such a relaxed way. Gtx form Austria

Wait... What 🤔 People pick up dog poop in forest trails 😅😂😅😂 Great knot btw 😎

I just bought a pair of similar boots last week but shoelaces kept coming undone. Now this should really help.

I've worn my work boots like this for years, it's a double starting knot before first hook and after. I first started doing it on a pair of Carolinas that were giving me a tough break in.

Nice tutorial, Good looking boots too. I am going to apply this technique from now on. Thank you

This is awesome! Thanks.

Gideon knot is the best.

Cool I'm going to try it!

Cheers mister!

Best Method for sure

Thanks for the tips. As an aside, your voice sounds like Saul Goodman!

I already subscribed to your channel

It work thanks this is cool

would you recommend having one side a little longer going in?

Very helpful

thanks mate :)

Nice. Thanks WW.

Nice tip. Hey, what's the model of those boots?

learn the gibbons knot. but the way you lace you boot I was doing 50 years ago when I started climbing. but your knot may work a particular obnoxious pair of laces I have. or I could just get different laces. thanks.

What is the name of this shoe

I have left bagged dog poop in an obvious place along the trail ONLY if my hike returns the same way.

I hate round shoes laces. Bring back the flat laces.

I put duct tape over the knot.

Gonna try this tonite b4 work,pain in the ass when I'm driving a forklift,wearing thermal gloves(in winter) while wearing a scanner on my finger and have to stop and take off all that shit and tie my boots then put back on my gloves an scanner.

My poor Dad did no how to tie his boots so I show this too my dad y then he nows how to tie his boots

Just tie a square knot instead of a granny and your knot will stay tied.

👟👌

I respectfully submit that your bigger, and perhaps only, issue causing these laces to come untied is that you are using a granny knot. Had you been tying a square knot the problem would have been resolved. Start by switching which lace goes over / under and then tie as usual, you will find there is absolutely no need for any further knotting. The surgeons knot has Jerry Rigged your problem so it now works, as would melting the laces together, but it is not the best solution.

This may be a great knot that you are tying but I have to stop watching because the shoe is upside down. This is not what I see when I look down at my boots.

I heard "Most boobs are..."

I hike all the trails in my area. I cannot tell u how many shit sacks I’ve encountered. Why even put it in a bag? So it doesn’t decompose as fast? Wtf. Countless shit sack fellas. I’ve made Facebook posts abt it tryin to understand the madness, to no avail. Is there a shit dairy that is supposed to come along and pick up the sacks? Ludicrous I tell you.

If any of y’all that didn’t know this, please just stay home. Y’all have no business hiking, backpacking in nature. Y’all going to get yourself hurt, just stick to sidewalks.
