The more tips n tricks shorts I watch, especially about knots, the less I know about any of those things. My brain just gives up under the sheer volume of knots I am supposed to know.
You'll never be an old timey sailor at this rate. On the bright side, the job market for those isn't great anyways, and this is probably good news for your life expectancy
I've seen a few like these that are really cool, especially the one where you can tie a knot with one hand. I've practiced them. Was actually able to do it. Then... a few months later... "what the hell, how did this knot go?" Seems like you have to keep doing it over and over for it to stick. 😏
100%. I don't think I could visualize a figure 8 knot, but I've made hundreds, if not thousands, so even though I haven't made one in years, if you put a rope on front of me, my hands could just do it
knitting is weaving, crochet is knotting. either can be a calming, meditative task that teaches you to either live with the mistake or undo it to make it better.

It's for the best... This, like many other simple knots, falls apart when tension is lost.

I will immediately bookmark this for future use, then forget all about it and more likely than not, never use this trick.

Sheet bend. Sheet = sail. Works with two cords, usually with a thicker rope replacing the sheet

Easier: joins two lines of different thickness

Sheet bend?
SilverPossum
It sure did!
MagicToolBox
Yup, just a variation on the methodology.

In scouts I always thought it was called the sheep bend. But I did grow up in the South, so you never know.

Sheet is the nautical term for a rope that controls the angle of a sail

I'm aware now, but not when I was 10 and every one around me spoke like they had marbles in their mouth.

It's knot.

Still won't hold long term. As a seasoned festival camper golf balls or small small rocks are better. NEVER use the eyelets.

As a former Scouts Canada member for 12 years, FUCK them eyelets!

Not knoting knots is not your fault.
imjustheretoholdyourhandwhenyoudie
Don’t remember knots, practice them. Look them up when you need one.

Short fork content has ruined the human brain, especially tips/tricks/life hacks so few of them are even remotely true or actually work
rolliefingers
I think content about long forks is much more dangerous, actually. You need to explain your reasoning.

I just favorite them to my "Tips and Tricks" folder and *then* forget about them.

That does seem like a more efficient workflow, thanks for the tip.

you could try crochet, it's intentional knots to make something fun or cool & helps with the logic a bit.
