This seems neat, but I’m curious why specifically it would be useful to have a rope with a prusik knot attached to you as opposed to any other paracord bracelet type. I’m curious what advantages the prusik knot has
Actually called a Boatswains knot and can be used as impromptu handcuffs by slipping each loop of a wrist and pulling the tails to tighten then lock off with a reef.
Yep. Most knots have many names. depending on the culture of the end user. Historically Boatswains have used this same knot to restrain personnel while at sea when the didn't have shackles. Or the shackles wouldn't fit. The locking mechanism of the boatswain's knot is a prusik again, “same same, not different “
Loved this video! Grateful for you sharing your knowledge. Sadly my first attempt I used too little, second time I just used way more then cut off accordingly lol. Going to be playing around making more.
The Prusik is a knot used in climbing and survival situations. While the bracelet might not be stylish, the knot itself serves a purpose. I tend to use cordage since this knot can be used in emergency situations to hold your body weight
Okay. Okay.... THAT caught MY ATTENTION!!! 😯😯😯😯 Edit: Im a little, lightweight person with decent strength. I've had cause to ... "not be seen" moee than once, and I've learned people tend to NOT look UP 😅. So, trees are my "Friends" lol, and I'm always interested in discrete edc ways to assist in this.
I'm so confused. I saw the thumbnail and thought "EDC, I've heard it before, isn't that something first aid related? Or survival skills?" but when I googled it the results were all about weapons and incapacitating people with cords. I assume this one is intended for survival situations, but how is it used?
EDC just means 'every day carry'. Some EDC things might be for 'just in case' so you will at least have SOMETHING on you in case things unexpectedly go bad but most 'EDC' gear is more geared toward 'everyday' type tasks - like if you needed cordage for some, random task. I could see this style being useful for camping if, say, you needed an easy way to carry a bundle of sticks for kindling, smaller diameter fuel, etc. for a campfire. Put the bundle together, take off the bracelet, pass one loop under the bundle, put the end of one loop through the other loop to create a lark's head, pull it tight around the bundle and use the free end to carry your bundle back to camp without dropping sticks, trying to keep the bundle together while you walk, etc. When you get to camp remove the lark's head, dump the bundle and put the cordage back on your wrist as a bracelet.
You could use square knots and stack them on either end for the same effect. In fact, squares will give you more cordage for the diameter than this method will, if you square around the entire circumference of your wrist. The same thing applies to a daisy chain or daisy double. Unless this is the style you want, there are better options for the utility than a simple P Fold.
@@agonicllc I guess I don't understand the purpose behind the bracelet then. It definitely doesn't seem like it's for repelling, so I'm not sure why tensile strength matters in this instance.
@@ransomdekafenya2584 this style of Prusik knot is also known as a Boatswains knot. It was an alternate method of restraining personnel at sea when shackles or cuffs weren't available or were to big for the detainee. The no slip function of the prusik knot make it ideal to cinch down and keep tension which also makes it great for securing doors and other such things.
How would you secure a door with that? I think I'd need a fix point on the wall to secure the door to, which is usually just not there... Pls. enlighten me! I think I have a bad misconception here.@@agonicllc
This isn't as bad to me as some vids, but - yeah. I wish there was a way the listener/viewer could adjust "layers", and bring the speech parts "forward" while pushing "background music" to, y'know, the BACKGROUND 😅😅
Using this process, the prusik also makes a darn good pair of hand cuffs. Also, #72 ask line would be awesome for this. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thank you for this video. Ive followed the pictures plenty but this made it much easier.

I would love to see how you made your modified pace counter bracelet
I also would be curious to see how you made the pace count bracelet
@michaeljgargano and @jacobham322 all in due time, I've gone through about 25 different iterations of it and it is almost perfect.
Loved this video! Grateful for you sharing your knowledge.

We used Swiss seats to configure the prusic knot for rope climbing. Slips up the rope but locks with downward pressure.
Definetly a cool idea but what are some uses exept having cordage and maybe handcufs?

@@JAB671and in regular situations I’ve used my length of paracord to bundle up the pizza boxes to make it easier to take them to my co-workers.
EDC also means Electric Daisy Carnival.
Carry the "emergency " cordage in a way that makes it less accessible when needed ?
@Agonic, Do you offer any discount codes for your products?
I got this on my third try. I kept cutting to short of a piece to work with. Thanks for sharingthis
How big of a piece did you cut? Also what did you do to tighten down the knot?
Always go with more than you think you will need. It’s easy to remove extra and way harder to add it.
@@agonicllcremoving extra just by cutting the ends of the of the prusik loop
I love the part trimming the cordage with the knife blade pointing right at your face
"Drop 6" - tried looking this up butngot music videos. Is Drop 6 on this platform?

Cool. Made it just right on the first try.

The more knots you put into a piece of cordage the weaker it becomes. And the more twisted the inner cord becomes. Sometimes less is more.

I didn't find Drop Six's EDC prussic knot video no matter how I worked it.
To my knowledge, he didn't make a video but he does, or at least did, sell a prussic bracelet
Is this intended to be used as improvised restraints?
They can be. They also work well for securing doors and other things. In the end it's rope and it does what rope does.

Awesome 👌
Why would you want to make that? Is there a practical application for it?
Impromptu handcuffs for the main use, or tying things down like doorknobs in a sketchy hotel.
You may as well filmed this in a darkened room, black cord, in front of a dark beard, covered by your hands in low light 😂
Why not show a finished product at the beginning, so the viewers know what you're making ?
Awesome. I will use this the next time I'm cruising the next college party...er, I mean camping trip.
Adorable. Maybe put one in your hair bun. It would be extra pretty.
More of a PITA than its worth
Why?
Well....thats a weird way to use a prusik.
I hate the background "music" a LOT. Totally unnecessary.
Ha ha. You’re a little delicate aren’t you.
This isn't as bad to me as some vids, but - yeah. I wish there was a way the listener/viewer could adjust "layers", and bring the speech parts "forward" while pushing "background music" to, y'know, the BACKGROUND 😅😅
Is the distracting music necessary…?
