After 42 years, on & off, as a Scoutmaster, these vidios are the best way I’ve seen to teach knots – bar none!!! It’s the easiest way I’ve found for a boy to learn knotts!!! I RECOMMEND THIS SITE! The speed control option allows boys to learn faster and do it at their own speed. An A+ webbsite & vidio series! Thanks!!

I’m the Senior Patrol Leader of my troop and, besides me and maybe one other scout, it’s a troop lacking in knot-tying skills. I’ll definitely recommend this.

IN the square lashing the rope is not kept parallel. This makes it difficult to tighten the lashing.

The ending clove hitch for all the lashings. The first half hitch of the clove hitch should be worked tight against the lashing and the second half hitch should be worked tight against the first half hitch.

Also, it shows all the useful knots.

Great videos especially like the ability to slow them down. A GREAT addition would be to list and or show the main uses for each knot.

I’m so glad that this section has been added to the site! I’m often called upon to tie a knot, and find myself forgetting very easily. Even though I carry a guide to knots around, these tutorials were a lot easier for me to follow.

Here are a few tips to knot tying sucess so you don’t forget as easily as me!

-Always carry a book around, but don’ be afriad to spend a little money on the right one. I started with a black and white pocket guide that even my dad couldn’t make sense of! (If you can’t get the money, talk to a scout troop leader to see if someone could lend you a book for trips or meetings where you will need to tie knots.)

-Ask for help! Can’t decipher a tricky knot? Ask an adult, older sibling, or friend to give you a hand. It won’t be that hard to ask once you get over the fear of “feeling dumb” in front of others. Everyone needs help once in a while.

-Look for some feedback from other kids! Go on boyslife.com and other websites to hear other advice and perspectives on knot-tying from boys your age.

As the video guide noted, the clove hitch is the most widely used knot. This is indeed so. To perform a round lashing for a flagpole, one has to begin and end with clove hitches. The square and floor lashings used to build a camp table also begin and end with clove hitches. Tripod lashing to build a camp chair also begins and ends with clove hitches. These are just a few of the great many uses of clove hitches.
