Thanks 🙏 I always look after imaginary bunnies! Here’s another video featuring a bunny The Weaver's knot ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3zAroAwHdPQ.html
Thank you! I watched another guy do 4 times. Made no sense. "Gotta be a better way!" "Oh Yay! Better way. And with a cute accent. Needed it to root my wayward Pothos plant.
This is the easiest method I've come across. All the previous were extremely complex(maybe I'm not smart enough). I felt like donating but then I realised that I lost my job, and can't really express my gratitude in monetary. Hence I hope you'll appreciate the comment.
I have just realized that there are two different, but similar, knots that are known as the bottle sling or jug sling, and which is which is rather confusing. It appears that the one shown here seems to be most often called the jug sling, and the more complex one is called the bottle sling, but this is not at all consistent (see the titles below). The main visual difference is that the two loops next to the "handles" lie on the same side of the jug sling, but on the bottle sling the handles pass between them. Paracord Planet has a video _How to Tie a Bottle Sling_ that shows both, and a channel called erixplace has an easy way to tie the bottle sling under the title _Engelsk Säck-knop (Jug Sling Hitch)_ . I think I'll stick with this one most of the time. The technique shown here is very fast and easy, and good enough for most purposes.
Thank you for sharing🙏 bracelets and Key chains are easy to do but when it comes to knots I need to do a lot more research before uploading! Thanks again!
"but on the bottle sling the handles pass between them."- I noticed the same thing. I was able to pass the handle loop and the tails respectively between the proper loops and it became a true bottle sling.
Great comment, thank you. Another structural difference is that when used as a lanyard knot, the bottle sling forms a fixed loop, whereas the jug sling forms an adjustable loop. In fact, the jug sling is simply the fisherman's loop knot, tied in the bight, with a clever bind function instead of the fisherman's knots' usual bend function.
This is why sometimes students don't this suck teachers and others love these teachers although they're teaching same subject in school. This is best way to learn. Thks
glad I'm not the only one when using this method who ends up with one 'handle' longer than the other. I have to futz with it to adjust to get the 'handles' the same LOL.
I think if you keep that circle open and fiddle you can slide it to about the middle, then put that jar in and pull both ends (the handles) at the same time it should centre it a bit I'd guess, if you tie a lot of them you would get used to how far down to start so they are about the middle.
It actually works best when you tie it in the air in front of you. Find the mid-point in your rope and hold it in both hands, with grip points about shoulder-width apart. Simultaneously twist the loops in both hands twice in opposite directions, and overlap them, keeping everything big and loose. Now you can grip both loops together with one hand, and use the other to bring the middle loop up and through, exchanging the double loop for the "handle". Finally, you can "walk" the knot up or down the line until you have it in the location you want, adjust the size, throw it over your bottle, and cinch up. I can't believe how just yesterday I was thinking this was the worst knot ever, only to find it this easy to tie today. [Edit: as per the top-level comment I just posted, there are actually two different knots involved. It seems the bottle sling I was struggling with yesterday is a bit more complex than the one featured here.] That said, I still also like the alternative I had decided on-a double fisherman's bend, pulled open in the middle and sandwiched around whatevr you want to carry. It's slower to tie, but it makes a nice, clean, two-point sling.
Thanks 🙏 it’s not the proper way of tying it, but it is the easiest! Here’s the proper way👀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DjH7nnTpvsE.htmlsi=3MqD8XBD7_ZgvmpA
I can confirm…this does not hurt the bunny. The gentle humour helped me to relax and learn. It removed my affective filter (to use the more-than-a-little -pretentious jargon of educators) and made it easier to learn. Very nicely done, sir.
Easy? Yes! Proper jug sling? Not really! I'm sure this works for most use cases but the jug/bottle sling knot has more binding wraps and so grips better. Cool method though, thanks! First Class Amateur has a pretty easy way to tie it (and a killer channel for knot geeks). EDIT: shoulda read the comments before chiming in, this has been pointed out and acknowledged. 😂 Still an easy method for a worthwhile "close enough" version. Cheers!
This is the Alpine Butterfly (an excellent knot. One of the strongest known and can be tide in a bight. It is knot 331, the Lineman's Loop, in Ashley's Book of Knots). It certainly can be used as a bottle sling. However it is not the Jug Sling (ABOK 1142).
Oh my. I must have watched 10 videos on how to tie this knot with only failure to show for it. And then I found your video. Simple, elegant and success! Thank you so much.
This is my third alternative. I made slider from cobraknots to tighten the loop. And tried the taut knot. Those three works. Ranger beads does not work. They are sliders with no grip.
Thanks it’s the easiest to tie it but not the proper way. Here’s the proper, more complicated method! Tie The Bottle Sling Knot The Right Way! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DjH7nnTpvsE.html
@juliescott4390 don’t worry there’s different ways to tie knots that do the same job. And a lot of purists! Here’s the actual bottle sling knot from the Ashley book of knots Tie The Bottle Sling Knot The Right Way! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DjH7nnTpvsE.html
@@juliescott4390 Depending on the bottle, try tying both ends of the string/cord together with a Double Fisherman's Bend, (.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9glfeKvEuyo.htmlsi=-1SLXV72DlWk391o , then place the neck of the bottle between the two parallel lines and then pull on the standing ends to tighten. I use this one with papae coffee cups, too.
Sorry to say that, but this is NOT a proper bottlesling. You should end up coming out BETWEEN the two strands on both sides. I have to admit, this version is easier to tie, but also less reliable.
@@GetKnottedParacord Thank you for your reply. I try to make a video, and I wish you can learn and shoot another formal video for everyone in your channel. ru-vid.comSKyZBBy006I?feature=share
