you say you're not very good at explaining this. This is the only video on RUclips I can watch and tie the knot while the dude on the video ties in the knot. No, you explained it perfectly thank you for the video.
I agree. Good pacing of the steps and clear timely instructions. Made one of these for a new knife while watching the video and it turned out great! Thanks :)
Yep. I 1million % agree. I looked at all the others on You Tube and this one works! I am elated and love my first paracord snake knot on my Tops Mini Scandi Rockies Edition neck knife!
I agree. I watched this a year ago...made a few things and this technique felt natural very quickly. I just went to make another lanyard and my dumb brain forgot the muscle memory, so I had to search for a video, and none made sense like this one. I only need to watch for 30 sec's and am back on track
5:18 "...I'm not exactly very good at explaining myself..." After a perfect tutorial on how to tie this knot! #humble #humility Thanks so much for the video!
I agree with the many comments saying how clearly and exactly you explained this. This is the only video I have watched that allows me to successfully tie these knots. Thank you so much!!
I've watched multiple videos today (32 till I found yours) trying to learn how to tie this and yours by far is the best one! You are very clear with each step and you don't rush things. Thank you so much for making this video, I can tie the cord right now!!!
LoL I just left him basically the same message cuz everybody has long difficult videos about this not I watched his for a couple minutes and now I have a lanyard that's about 6 in Long and it's tied very good too I suggest if you haven't already on Amazon or probably Walmart if they have the same paracord they have nice thick strong paracord for very cheap that comes in a big roll so when you're doing the knots they come out very good they look professional like as if a machine made it especially when you got a guy like this showing you how to make it...
I have wanted to know how to tie a snake knot for Buddhist malas for years, but never got my mind to follow the instructions and my clumsy fingers to do it - until now! This is the easiest instruction I’ve come across and you explain it really well - just did my first mala all on my own, thanks so much!!!
Thank you, that was a far easier way to learn this than other videos I had watched - especially for a first time knot maker like myself. I made it super hard on myself too, as I was learning with rope, not paracord!!
This is a really good teaching video. I work at a bead store and just told a customer to go watch this video to learn how to do a Spanish knot which is what it is called usually in jewelry making.
Fantastic video! I learned how to do this in literally 1 minute thanks to this video, now I just need to practice more make it better. And sir, you are very, very good at explaining yourself and if you do more knot-tutorials Id watch them all! Thank you so much!
Nice job. Actually good job explaining yourself. To fix the knot so it wont come loose. Use the lighter. Carefully melt the bottom of the last knot together. When that nylon melts to itself it will almost never come loose.
I'm lost when it comes to any explanation to even start the first step of a knot. I've watched several snake-knot videos but this video made me snake-knot my pocketnife lanyard in one go, it looks epic mate. THANKS.
I Dont know how and just why, but u were the only one who made me understand how the snake knot works, Thanks! i got my "Mad Max" bracelet done and im gonna use it at my Hammock trips...
At first, I considered speeding up the playback, but resisted. Good thing, because the deliberate delivery was just what the doc ordered. Good job, thanks!
I too watched multiple videos on how to do this and was totally confused! Your video was totally amazing and I figured it out while watching! Big BIG thanks!
Awesome, mate! I just wanted to do something like this for my polar jacket pocket zippers and this gave me a great idea. What I will do however is I am going to use a different type of ending. I will leave about 3/4” pigtails and slide them in a shrinking tube like the one electrician use. Thanks for the video!
Sweet video. Always wanted to put a lanyard on the end of a few of my knives but could never figure out what kind I wanted to make. I know now. Good looking and super easy! Thanks!
Gold Daddy yeah I just used this video to make one for my knife, I made a lanyard from paracord before, it was good and secure but this knot is really secure and looks much nicer.
I started a comment to say how you explained it was great for me(but I see a lot of people have done that) now I'm gunna go find stuff that needs melted pigtails! Thanks so much my brother 💌
I can never remember quite how to tie the snake knot since it's only once every couple of years. I searched through several videos because I can recognize the "right" way and yours was the first one that was concise and right. Great explanation. Got a nice tight knot just how I wanted.
At 5:17 you said "I'm not exactly very good at explaining myself". In my opinion this is THE best snake-knot tutorial on youtube, and I've returned to watch it countless of times. Thanks so much!
I would like to let you know that you describes the process very well and made it very easy to do. Some of the other videos were more complicated and harder to understand.
This was really helpful. Straightforward and you did a good job explaining it. Would love to see more videos on different way to tie stuff like this. Thank you!

Thanks to this video I made my wife a very nice keychain. It's easy to do, looks great (especially if you put a bead or two on there) and my wife loves it. She thinks I'm Bear Grylls now.
With your explanation and video I've learned my first knot within 5 minutes! I've paused the video after each step and in two attempts I knew how to do it on myself. Thank you!
Al Catraz A bowline knot is used to put an eye or loop in the end of a line. While similar mechanics are used to tie the knots. The bowline is only tied in the end where the snake knot is in the middle of the lines. The snake knitted decorative a bowline is a working knot.
This is by far the fastest and easiest to follow guide got the snake knot and I only watched it twice to know how to tie it right and finished what I needed in a few minutes. (The rest made it too complicated to follow and took me 10 mins to get 2 levels of knots right) thank you very much for sharing the knowledge!
Every time I need to tie this knot I watch your video again and again. It’s funny, I’ve memorized so many knots but for some reason I always need a refresher on this one. Fantastic video! Very simple and to the point. Thank you.
Thanks so much I made a cupple dog leashes for massive dogs using this type of knot. There strong enough to be used as horse leashes too. I just can't thank you enough for all your help.
Thank you for the tutorial!!! The first video on YT that had good step-by-step instructions!!! After my 5th try, your video showed me how to snake knot!!!🙏
Thank you for posting this video. I made a braid out of 10' paracord and ended up with 10.5" braid with 2" loop on either end. I also trimmed off a few inches to remove the loose end and make the final knot even. It takes roughly 10" of paracord to make 1" of braid.
I watched a dozen "How to tie a paracord snake knot" videos, but this one is best of them all. I finally managed to tie perfect snake knots, thank you so much for the great and easy explanation!
Can't but agree with all the positive comments about your easy to understand & well explained video. Didn't get anywhere with previous RUclips videos or book illustrations but made a short zip pull in minutes. Thank you!
I'm Autistic. I've been trying every video of this knot to no avail. This video is by far the best instructional of how to tie this knot & create a snake knot lanyard or zipper pull! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. The others didn't show the whole strands so I couldn't tell what's what. This was perfect 👍👍👍
I’ve taught others how to do “things.” So I’ve learned how to watch, study, do. You’re good at doing that too. So I subscribed. Look forward in learning more para cording knotting.
I saw one video where 'ya loop the cord around your finger for this knot,but I do believe your tutorial will help me out for all applications of tying this attractive knot! Two colors look awesome using this knot! Thank you,paracord on,and stay knotty!
As others have stated, EXCELLENT instruction! I had trouble tying this knot, then I found your video. Now I can tie it with no problems. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You say, “I’m not good at explaining myself” but this was the most helpful paracord tutorial I’ve come across as a beginner. One video I watched over-explained with a plethora of paracording terminology that my eyes crossed. While that might be useful to me later when I become more advance, for now, this was perfect. Thank you.
you say you're not very good at explaining this. This is the only video on RUclips I can watch and tie the knot while the dude on the video ties in the knot. No, you explained it perfectly thank you for the video.
That is exactly what I was gonna write, good job.
100% Agree!
😎👍
I agree. Good pacing of the steps and clear timely instructions. Made one of these for a new knife while watching the video and it turned out great! Thanks :)

Finally somebody with a teaching skill, not rushing!!! Excellent.
after watching like 5 videos on this knot, yours is the only one that was simple and straighforward enough for me to replicate. Thank you!!!
I agree. I watched this a year ago...made a few things and this technique felt natural very quickly. I just went to make another lanyard and my dumb brain forgot the muscle memory, so I had to search for a video, and none made sense like this one.

5:18 "...I'm not exactly very good at explaining myself..." After a perfect tutorial on how to tie this knot! #humble #humility Thanks so much for the video!

I’ve watched quite a few videos on making a snake knot, and have not been successful until I saw your video. Thank you. You are very good at this.
Furious after three other videos, yours is the first one where I was able to follow after the first knot. Good job explaining and showing.
NAILED IT ! First time I've actually been able to do this knot correctly after watching a video !!
Thank you! Using your tutorial I was finally able to tie a snake knot for my jewelry pieces ❤️
563 people disliked a free tutorial.......Incredible!!!!! Excellent job Sir. Thank you for taking time to put this up....It helped me. Thumbs up!!
Oh, yes, you are very good at explaining yourself. Don't think otherwise.
Your explanation is 100% spot on. This is the only video on RUclips that actually makes sense!
Nice job. Actually good job explaining yourself.
To fix the knot so it wont come loose. Use the lighter. Carefully melt the bottom of the last knot together. When that nylon melts to itself it will almost never come loose.
This is the only tutorial on this knot I have ever successfully followed.
Thanks heaps for this tutorial. I have it saved for future use
You just gave me a great zipper pull idea for my Jeep soft-top! Good, easy instructions to follow. Well done!
I'm lost when it comes to any explanation to even start the first step of a knot. I've watched several snake-knot videos but this video made me snake-knot my pocketnife lanyard in one go, it looks epic mate. THANKS.

@survivalkraft I agree! Yours has been the only tutorial that stuck with me. Thank you!

Texset thank u i woldnt no were to start god bless
@@survivalkraft I'm trying, but I only have a pair of Academic Brand Scissors, and a Scripto lighter?? Now what the f***???
At first, I considered speeding up the playback, but resisted. Good thing, because the deliberate delivery was just what the doc ordered.
Good job, thanks!
Very clear and precise tutorial. You made this fun and not daunting. I thank you and my folding knife thanks you. Well done!
watched countless knot videos. and youre the only one to explain it and allor me to follow and actually learn the knot. thanks a lot my dude
I too watched multiple videos on how to do this and was totally confused! Your video was totally amazing and I figured it out while watching! Big BIG thanks!

It's the best clear explanation of the snake knot on RUclips!!
Great job explaining yourself! Followed along easily and made a great lanyard for my knife. Thank you!
Hi from France, your technique is very good because some people make a simple knot from below and above but the result is not the same, thank you dude
I genuinely wish I could like this video more than once; I refer to it every time I make one of these for a folder.
Sweet video. Always wanted to put a lanyard on the end of a few of my knives but could never figure out what kind I wanted to make. I know now. Good looking and super easy! Thanks!
I'm glad you like the video! Did your lanyards/fobs turn out well?
Gold Daddy yeah I just used this video to make one for my knife, I made a lanyard from paracord before, it was good and secure but this knot is really secure and looks much nicer.
I’ve gone back to this video 3x to make lanyards over the last yr or two. Nice simple explanation.
Thanks so much that was really helpful 👍
I started a comment to say how you explained it was great for me(but I see a lot of people have done that) now I'm gunna go find stuff that needs melted pigtails!
Thanks so much my brother 💌
20 minutes later...
I DID IT! I DID IT! 💪😇👍
Now that I can make a Zipper Pull, my Armageddon plan is complete.
I watched 5 other videos. This one was by far the easiest to follow. Thanks for the tutorial!
LOL you explained yourself perfectly, thanks.
Thank you! You are kind :) I had so many takes when making this video!
Well it came out so well that I won't even have to play it again to make my knot.
Ha! That's great! I'm glad I could help!
I can never remember quite how to tie the snake knot since it's only once every couple of years. I searched through several videos because I can recognize the "right" way and yours was the first one that was concise and right. Great explanation. Got a nice tight knot just how I wanted.
THANK YOU!! Great video!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
At 5:17 you said "I'm not exactly very good at explaining myself". In my opinion this is THE best snake-knot tutorial on youtube, and I've returned to watch it countless of times. Thanks so much!
1 of my 3 favourite knots is the snake knot, easy and great looking 👍
Thank you very much! What are your other two favorites?
I would like to let you know that you describes the process very well and made it very easy to do. Some of the other videos were more complicated and harder to understand.
Just tied my first knot on my fire steel! Thanks, now i know how. I subbed also. :)
Greg Outdoors I just did the same ferro rod lanyard and subbed
I nailed this knot on the first try thanks to your simple, uncomplicated explication. Thank you very much indeed!
This was really helpful. Straightforward and you did a good job explaining it. Would love to see more videos on different way to tie stuff like this. Thank you!
48 and happy like a 10 year old tying a lanyard now in my machete. Thanks dude👍🏼
Thanks, I just got started. I’ve just started and have watched several tutorials. Yours is the first one I’ve been able to do. Joe
I'm glad I could help! Good luck!

Thanks! I hope it helps. If you post a video of that EDC bag, I would love to see it. Send me a link!

or by yelling SURVKRAFT YEAH YEAH YEAH 3 times, really loudly.
I've watched several videos on this knot and this one explained it the best. Thank you!
Good job!
Thank you, sir!
With your explanation and video I've learned my first knot within 5 minutes! I've paused the video after each step and in two attempts I knew how to do it on myself. Thank you!
Did you steal my Bic lighter? Mine looks just like that.
Yup! I grabbed it while you weren't looking!
lol no one cares
Dude....I watched 5 other videos before this one and this is the only one made any sense
the fact you did it on the zipper was key. Thank you
I think those are BOW-LINE knots.... YES they are KNOTS..... :-) :-)
Yes, a string of bowlines
Knots... hahahaha. Comment of the day
Al Catraz A bowline knot is used to put an eye or loop in the end of a line. While similar mechanics are used to tie the knots. The bowline is only tied in the end where the snake knot is in the middle of the lines. The snake knitted decorative a bowline is a working knot.

I forgot what I learned in my sailing classes...

(The rest made it too complicated to follow and took me 10 mins to get 2 levels of knots right) thank you very much for sharing the knowledge!
A dab of super glue on the last knot will keep it from slipping
Every time I need to tie this knot I watch your video again and again. It’s funny, I’ve memorized so many knots but for some reason I always need a refresher on this one.
Fantastic video! Very simple and to the point. Thank you.
Shameless plugs for Fiskars and Bic.
Thanks so much I made a cupple dog leashes for massive dogs using this type of knot. There strong enough to be used as horse leashes too. I just can't thank you enough for all your help.

Quite a few different people demo this knot in other ways. Your method is the easiest to understand. Thanks for sharing.
Your timing and demonstration was perfect and plain clear simple instructions are on point!!!
Thank you!! Best video that I have found to help me redo my zippers on my hiking bag! Rock on!
You've done an excellent job explaining yourself.

You have no problem explaining yourself,your video is awesome.
I've been using your video to teach others for several years now. You do a GREAT job of explaining things.
Thanks, I use this whenever I make a lanyard but I always forget in-between lanyards.
Good video ! It's the one I always use.
I know this is an old video but you explained it very well! Used this to tie a small lanyard onto my wife’s SAK and it was perfect.
I really liked your detailed, clear, concise video. It's as good as they come. Gracias amigo.

I've gone back to your video at least a dozen times when I want to tie a snake knot. Very well explained! Thank you!
Great video! 👍
I made 10 of them immediately after seeing this demonstration. 😂
I think you did a great job at explaining the knot, with your help I tied it very easily! Thanks
Thought you did a good job of explaining it. I just used it to make a lanyard for my leatherman and using this video, it came out well. Thanks.
This was an awesome tutorial. The 4th or 5th I watched and the only I could follow and work along side!
Excellent explanation, don't shortchange yourself. Very clear instructions.
Your explanation during this video is great. Thank you sir for the help 👏🏼👏🏼
