I made a few yesterday. First I was a bit confused by the button knot, but after two or three trials, I managed to do it. It is rather easy once you've done it a few times. Thanks for your helpful and informative video.
I'm going through all my hammock camping gear and trying to slim down and streamline. Your whole channel is a gold mine, brother! Keep up the great work!!
Wow, that was incredible work. I’ll pay for a professional to make me a set. Thanks for sharing. Will be heading over to the store to see what color I need.
I have been taught to have separate channels for the final two passages through the knot. With the bury I doubt it matters much, though. Very nice video. I appreciate the over the shoulder view.
Made one last night. It turned out pretty well, even if I do say so myself. A friend just gifted me some 1/8" Amsteel (not fond of yellow, but hey free is free) and my next project is to make one of the clip button knots for my tree straps.
I have been watching another vid of Brian Toss making this knot I tried for hours and couldn't get it right. Your method is simpler and easier to see. Thank you very much! Most helpful!
It's not just aesthetic, it's practical. Burying the end stands increase the amount of material the noose bites on, and therefor the diameter of the loop, which means a more gentle bend a a less strength lost. It's one of the reasons why this type of button knot is stronger than the older diamond knot method.
This is the craziest way I've seen anyone ever tie a button knot, there are such easier ways that one can tie this knot. There are several tutorials on this site that demonstrate how to tie this knot in a much less convoluted fashion.
Awesome tutorial. Took me a while to get the part around 3:20 right, but now I'm actually ready to start mass production, lol. Thank you so much for this. Now on to your other videos :)
right!!!??? had such a hard time with this step myself!!! ...have since figured it out (even watched in slow motion a bunch of times), but with that step figured out, this is definitely the BEST explanation of how to tie this know, and ive watched plenty!!! THANKS JEFF!!!
Pretty impressive button knot tying Jeff! I have done numerous whoopie slings, continuous loops and ridgelines out of 7/64th Amsteel. This looks more difficult but will give it a go. It seems like the sky is the limit with this material. :)
@@jeffmyers7062 I use the calculator on Animated Knots which is the Edwards calculation, set for a Diamond Knot. I know that the button knot takes more, both in the tying and in the bury but am unsure how much more. I am thinking approx. 10% more.
Great video Jeff. This soft shackle is, in my own opinion, the best design out there. Can I use this method to make the continuous loop with the button knot? Minus the noose on the end?
Jeff, I first saw your soft shackles on Outdoor Adventures channel. I tried to find Frozen’s video again and naturally, now I can’t! I was hoping he had a link to you for purchasing a couple sets. I have no desire to make my own. I didn’t know if you had an Etsy shop or some such thing. ?
I buy Amsteel in cut lengths from West Marine, locally. Have not tried to buy bulk (full spools). They might be available online from WM. Hope this is helpful.
I always have problems with my noose ending up too large, even though I start with it very small. Not to the point where it slips off, but it doesn't feel like it's the optimal size.
Love your videos except this one. Really had a hard time tying the button knot. My opinion you spin the knot around way too much and trying to tie and orient at same time was difficult. Also slow the tying down. Remake would be great. Thanks for your efforts but I wound up cursing more than tying.
This is one of the best soft shackle videos.
100k views coming soon!
thank you!
Nice description. As the inventor of this method, I am glad to see it getting some attention.

Thanks ! Hope you enjoy it
Spliced some of these and used them on my last trip out. Worked great, I really like them. Much easier to work with than the standard soft shackles.
Awesome glad you like 'em
Wow, that was incredible work. I’ll pay for a professional to make me a set. Thanks for sharing. Will be heading over to the store to see what color I need.

Thank you for the instructions! Made 4 of these today. They turned out great.
that latch hook idea is friggin brilliant! Best idea I've seen for rope splicing yet

Welcome and thanks for watching
Thank you. This video will greatly help my soft shackle project soon jeff. More power to your channel!!
Thank You!
Absolutely awesome way to hid the loose ends of the cord. I love it!

let's see your video on this! I am sure such a prodigy as yourself can do so much better !

Nice educational and slowly done with explanations !! Well done...but I need more practice at it.
practice makes perfect :)

Time to make myself one of these. This looks so much easier to do than a diamond knot. Gotta say it again; you do great tutorials.
Thanks !
Thank you man!
Thanks for the view and comment!
Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial!
How does the length of the line needed compare to using the Diamond Knot?
not sure what you mean ? how much length is needed? you have the knot and the bury...and I mention that in the video...

Easy pezzy. At least thats the way you made it look :). Thx
Great video Jeff. This soft shackle is, in my own opinion, the best design out there. Can I use this method to make the continuous loop with the button knot? Minus the noose on the end?
Yes you can
Im very new to this and I ordered 12 strand 3/16in dyneema for utv/atv recovery. Do the same steps apply for the 12 strands and thicker rope?

Outstanding👍 but holy cow I had trouble following halfway though 😳

Hope the part 2 and 3 VIDEO helps...
Show the splicing tool!
I use 1 mm stainless wire
Jeff, good video. I'm having a mental block on this one. Any chance you could use the blue and yellow cord to show how the knot is tied? thanks

Where is the best place to buy your amsteel in bulk? Thank you keep up the good work.
I buy Amsteel in cut lengths from West Marine, locally. Have not tried to buy bulk (full spools). They might be available online from WM. Hope this is helpful.
Where did you get your wire splicing tool?
Check my community tab, listed all in there ...
I always have problems with my noose ending up too large, even though I start with it very small. Not to the point where it slips off, but it doesn't feel like it's the optimal size.
even a 1 inch loop will never slip . A good rule of thumb is a 1 inch overlap of the two strands

Where can I get one of them black handled poop turners?
The one in this video is a D-Splicer bran...
Where did you purchase your splicing tools?

Awesome
...or you could buy one from Jeff 😁.
That is a good idea !
Fuck it..I give up
