  • I think this is the fastest method of tying rope handcuffs - but I may be wrong 😊. Handcuff knots are actually quite useful for fire fighters, cave rescuers, etc as they can be used to pull victims from small enclosed spaces and passages. Also farmers use them to keep animals still. OK this method is a bit of a "rope trick", but it's fun to learn new things.

    the method you are showing in this video is the one we settled on, and taught to our firefighter rapid intervention teams (i.e. firefighter rescue team - the team that goes in to save a firefighter down or lost on the interior of a structure.
    it is very useful when the crap hits the fan, inside. it is fast. it can be formed in tight quarters, and even with one hand. often we are blinded by smoke, and hugging the floor, because the fire is out of control. we can very quickly secure a firefighter and extricate them.

    Hi just wanted to clarify, you are making 2 different knots, at 53sec see how the lines cross over each other, this locks the knot when pulled tight and is known as a fireman's chair knot, at 2.30 you'll see they dont cross which makes the knot weak ( i was told this is called a tom fools knot ), the hancuff knot has the cross over to lock it as well, thanks

    An ancient tie. First time I saw it, back in 1950s, an uncle told me that it was the knot used when hanging criminals, back in the old days. I found it again, while living in Japan. It is used in Hojojutsu a martial art for tying captured warriors or criminals.

      @@chickenlittle2206 Yes and no. There were hundreds of methods of tying, varying with each school and in most schools there was a way to tie each level of the caste system. If one was restraining a superior, a special method was used that did not have a "hard" knot (ie; the ends were loose) so as not to offend them. If it was a hardened criminal and of the lower social strata, they would be tied in a manner that was nearly impossible to escape and was very painful.

    I'll have to admit ,I've been tieing this know ever since I heard to the my own laces. Never mind with all the hocus pocus...So I take the string like I'm about to the my laces, but I use my index fingers in both hands and make two loops, then I cross them like I was going to the my shoes then pull the loops through and viola rope hand cuffs. But thanks ,if not for your video.,and the comment section I wouldn't have figured it that easy. Even though I did do it both ways you showed, but both those are what to much work.😀lol God bless.

    Up - you pull your hands apart.

    Well done! It is a knot that really only useful for handcuffs. Never use slip knots for rescue as it will injure the person being lifted. Use a bowline or a Spanish bowline, which will give you two non slipping loops. Not good for hobbles, either, but dandy for tying people up or making a bow the. Big fan. Have you ever used a peep compass?

If you have a baseball bat in your car , and are not coming or going to a game ...that's a no no... not allowed to have any form of self defense at all.
