bet they didnt teach u that "viruses" are not infectious and they dont even have mitochondria in fact they are cleaning agents/proteins made by your own cells.
I had a 6 grade science class in WA state that taught survival skills. We didn’t learn that particular knot but we did learn several other knots. We also learned to build a fire and shelter and how to catch fish in the river. All behind our school.
@@MP-jg4xb You two are spot on with the sarcasm. You're right...sorta. Considering the cost of housing we all might need the square knot for our tents and tree houses in the wilderness.
Not only taught in school, but built into the subsequent requirements in order for repetition for it to sink in. Teach someone something once without context and use, they are all but certain to forget it.
Sometimes people NEED TO BE TAUGHT OR EVEN RE-TAUGHT THE BASICS. Think about it, if you don't get the basics you can't get the bigger concepts. I am re-learning and re-visiting the basics in the bible. God wants us to constantly remember how much he loves us by reading his word constantly, remembering to keep (includes re-reading) his ten commandments, and pray. @@hutchmusician
@@cobaltblu4196 It’s a knot. There is a universe of information more essential than this. Wanna learn knots? Go learn knots. No one owes you an education.
Actually, I figured it out myself when I was cutting 25' hanks of parachute cord for packing with my camping gear. But I never thought it was something that should be taught in school! That's just dumb.
I’m an old guy still trying to learn. Just switched to hammock and tarp and kayak from tent and motorcycle. So your channel sure is a wealth of knowledge for me. Do ya wanna know the biggest-first impression I’ve gotten from your site?.? “I don’t know shiet about knots.” But thanks….I’m learning with each video.
@@vennicand he learned it from them when they time traveled back to 2035 from 2112, where they taught him the rope winding trick and time travel so that he could go back and teach them when they were young. Then he asked, “why don’t you just go back in time and teach yourselves?” They replied, because their generation never believes their elders, they only listen to the truth that is spread by RU-vid altruists.
Math, science, history, arts, shop classes, are all the useful things thought in schools. You can’t help it when parents don’t teach their kids to read
Don’t listen to the haters man. It’s important that kids are taught important survival skills, as well as financial and domestic skills a person will utilize on a daily basis
And most of that doesn't need to get taught in schools; strengthen the nuclear family and much of that will take care of itself. It wasn't until everyone became convinced that education comes from schools that we started losing much of this knowledge.
That’s a very complicated way to do that. Just make the hang loose sign with your pinky and thumb. With the loose tag end in between your middle finger and trigger finger. Wrapping figure 8 between the hang loose sign. Take the excess at the end and wrap it around. It’s way faster and simpler.
@@vickifox9753 don’t have a channel or an account. And I am not blessed with tech savviness! just good at skills with my hands. And also do it by driving to pegs or steaks in the ground at wrapping a figure 8 around those.
fascinating! is it just a figure 8 that's tied up in the middle? is there a name for this technique? i don't think i understand the video, but this knot looks incredibly helpful edit: ty, your explanation helped a lot! i made a figure 8 in between my thumb and pinky finger, and it worked out swell! (i was using a short charging cord) i think the way it works is that all the figure 8s are stacked on top of each other. so, when you pull at the untied end, it slides out without snagging on the figure 8s below.
@@cabbage-soup There probably is a name for it. Although I don’t know what it’s called. But it’s something I’ve been doing for about 20 years.(learned it from an old man/mentor). It works very well! PS it sounds like you got it figured out! But future reference you may not want to do that on small electrical cords. Especially fine braided cords like phone chargers. Works really well for bank line, Paracord, twine or string, nylon cord or even climbing rope or heavy duty extension power cords if you’re doing it on a big scale with sticks in the ground. But yes, just overlapping figure 8’s! YW!
I dont get why that is the posterchild of useless math taught in school when its actually on the more useful side. Still not super useful in daily life but it has some rare applications. And its also easy as shit to remember like it is not taking that much effort to learn cmon
@@dinoaurus1 it kind of is useful in daily life. Pythagoras is how you calculate the shortest distance between two paths. I use it every day through my work, as many machine learning algorithms also use this simple formula.
@@dinoaurus1 adjacent to Pythagoras can use basic trig to calculate the height of an object. if you want to cut a corner you can measure how much shorter it is using Pythagoras. it's literally used every day and if you can't see how you are lacking in imagination
yikes....that ain't a school many graduate from to even go about teaching what they learned, just be thankful you were lucky enough not to die or mentally degenerate into an idiot if if you got out "unscathed"
You can. Tap the 3 dots near the bottom of the video, choose "save to playlist," choose "create new playlist" from the bottom of the list and name it "useful shorts."
All these funny people on RU-vid. I seriously always look in the comments for the comedians and laugh at the wittiness. That said, all you comedians knocking the “one time” you’ll use this or how useless this rope tying thing is today, I’d consider how many times we all wind up the countless number of charging cords for our devices, extension cords, hoses and so forth. This rope tying method for a lot of those. :)
All the things you show of this nature are really interesting, and in certain circumstances would make life a LOT easier, but man oh man is it so hard for me to commit them to memory. Maybe I'm just not putting in enough effort, it's just not something I can recall that easily. Pretty nifty though!
Actually, my junior high school taught me this, but that was back in the early 70s. They didn't teach me this with yellow cord around my hand but with garden hoses laid out on the ground, electrical extension cords and, because we were kids, kite string rewound onto the spool it came from. Anything wound using figure-8 motion will twist then untwist the line, the net being that there are no twists after you're done. Apparently schools don't teach simple rules for living any longer.
I do this even lazier and quicker. Grab the end with one hand. Decide the length with the other. Then grab hanging part alternating hands. It creates that figure 8 crossing pattern. Works on even bulkier and stiffer things like extension cords, etc.
It really bothers me when influencers or other people say “this is something school should’ve taught you” school teaches you math, science, history, and language arts, last I checked, they don’t have a class for how to tie a knot that doesn’t tangle
Here in India, we fly kites on the day of 'Uttarayan' or 'Makar Sankranti'. We learn from our elders and seniors, to loop a thin string kind of in a chromosome like pattern, only one side of it. You first half wrap it on your thumb and take the string and loop it around the gap of your pinky finger. Keep repeating this pattern, making a X pattern. Leave some string in the end snd wrap it around the region where the strings converge, mid point of the bottom and top loops. Can't learn everything in school, gotta learn some things from your surroundings.
Maybe a bit controversial but I definitely think there are things much more important to teach in school like reading, math, and science instead of rope stuff. Especially in this modern age where they can just look up people like you and learn how to do rope stuff.
Some dont need to know this because they benefit from those who need to use it often. I appreciate this hack having used cords, strings, ropes, electrical cables often in construction, gardening, outdoors, landscaping....
Saying "here is something I wish they taught in school" before describing some completely pointless nonsense, does not make the pointless nonsense sound as profound as you think it does.
You can never have enough skills. I'm an advocate in my country for having mandatory first aid and CPR as a subject. You might never have the need to use it, but you'll want the skill if it happens.
Great, now do that with 1/2" or 3/8 rope. This is a slow and minimally useful knot. Learn the sailors knot or storing and hanging ropes (sheets). This works faster, and with rope of a wide variety of thickness and lengths. The knot shown here is for children playing with strings.
