Pat Mac is the Dad some of us never had.
Yeah, he's the cool dad on the block.
Be careful what you wish for because Mom might have had a good reason to kick Dad to the curb. My dad was usually drunk at the bar, but when he came home he had fun abusing all of us in the family. My sister was burned with cigarettes, mom had her fingers broken, my teeth got chipped after being thrown to the ground, etc., etc. My dad's idea of affection was constantly bullying me after work and I was the one he liked the most. (I definitely don't think Pat Mac is that type of guy because he is so unique and special.) My point is that sometimes it is better when the dad is NOT around. Now I am left hating all male authority figures, thinking family values is sick and twisted.
@@Nowhere888 A family is only as good as what the people in that family work to be. I’m sorry for the way your Dad treated you. I had a friend that grew up that way and no the pain and problems it causes.
@@Nowhere888 you need to get over it, honestly. Drive forward. Hating every male authority because of one stupid man in your life is equivalent to thinking every gun on the market is an unreliable pile of junk, because the first one you had experience with was a Lorcin.
Related hard to this mane 🤣☝🏾
I learned to tie knots after tying an embarrassingly bad knot in front of my Dad years ago...the look of disappointment burned through me like a laser. Never made that mistake again. Learn you knots kids...make your Dad proud. 🤙🏼
I love how you put that.
Nam Vet son with sons at 30 & 28. We have to pass down the knowledge and wisdom.
👊🏼🇺🇸💪🏻
Basic dude stuff..
As a former anchor clanker , I remember what the ol Bos'n told me. " A good knot is easy to tie, easy to untie and doesn't kink the line. "
The Knife Knot is easy to tie and untie.
I've watched numerous clips on knot tying (because I can't tie knots) and that was by far and away the best. It all looks so simple. My girlfriend will be pleased!
Wait… you can now tie good knots and your girlfriend will now be happy… what’s going on here…
When ropes of unequal thickness love each other very much....
@@superkool7 Probably "shibari" :)
@@pookyslayer either that or he's now on an fbi watch list 👀👀
Everybody who wants to become a commercial diver should watch this.
A part 2 would be nice. Part two can be practical every day uses for the knots you presented. For instance, tying down furniture you’re moving in your truck, using it as a hitch to pull a small vehicle with your truck, or some outdoor survival thing where you would have to lift some wood out-of-the-way with only your bare hands and rope. That was a great video sir. Thank you.
Agree. Everyday/emergency situation application would be great. The same thing for paracord use would be nice.
This is the first good, visible instruction on a bowline that was just that simple. Everyone else is, rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree then back in the hole. Thanks for making it just that easy to understand.
The frayed knot joke is classic. Never apologize for classic comedy Pat.
Taught a lot of scouts to tie those knots. It helps to use 2 different colored ropes or different colored tape on the ends. It helps the student see which rope is moving and how.
This is actually genius. As someone who's a visual learner primarily, it's easy for me to get lost when everything is the same colour. Two seperate ropes would really bridge that gap for me.
My son learned knot’s in Boy Scout’s and tying knots underwater at Great Lakes. What we took for granted is becoming a lost skill. Thanks for the refresh.
Years as airborne and they never harpped on knots. Thank lord I got uncle Mac to show the world
My stomach is knotted 🪢 up from laughing 😂 hard 👍👌✌️🫡🇺🇸
That sheep's blend is a VERY useful one.
Former Boy scout, Sailor, and fire academy instructor...I approve of all of these knots.
Bowline is king.
Never heard bow-lin until RUclips a few years ago. Learned bow-line, long i. Never saw that method of tying it either until RUclips! Love it! Army never taught me shit for knots, learned it all at 12 years old in Boy Scouts in the 70's.
Pat, You can't imagine the success I felt when I finally got the bowlan knot down. Simple but great instruction
Love that you did the snap bowline, the best way to tie it i think. Dont forget the backup knot on a bowline.
Thanks for addressing the importance of dressing. Especially the bowline. Even more important if it to be weighted and un-weighted over time. Well done. Seal of approval from this tree-man who has tied 80 zillion bowlines.
my dad was in the navy & could tie knots without even looking at it!!! i can tie the basic stuff but the others i have forgot.. thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!!
Been tying, learning and using knots for decades. Your tutorial on these basic knots is the best I've seen. Good Job Pat!
Rock &Roll!
That cats paw knot was new to me. Thanks for the knowledge!
And more importantly Pat,I haven't tied knots in quite a while,thank you for that tutorial again
Puns are the highest form of humor.
I use. Left over right, right over left for square knots. ;)
Bowlines, "Rabbit comes out of the hole, around the tree, back down the hole!" Had a Scoutmaster taught me that one.
A bow line is perhaps one of the most important knots to know
That was the best knot tutorial I’ve ever seen.Starting my day with some Dude Stuff has already improved the trajectory of my day.
Lol that was one of my dads dad jokes when we were younger. Thanks for that.
thank you for these types of videos, easy, simple and concise
I learned knots a long time ago in Boy Scouts, some of these knots I forgot about. Thank you for bringing them back to my attention. Very cool
Dude... been tying knots for a long time. Cat's paw just blew my fucking mind. No more half hitches for me. Thanks!
Kilts.....The original sausage casing! Learning knots AND verbage....Yoink'em😎
Cool, clove hitch, munter hitch , running bowline, butterfly knot, are also useful to have in the toolbox 👍
2nd the clove hitch
Jokes like the one you started out with are always great to hear!! Knot sure if I ever heard that one before 🤣
Dam things we all need to teach our sons thanks dude
I'm a fan of your instructional videos Pat!
Everyone in the Navy had to learn the square knot and bowline. I still use them all the time.
Thank you for sharing! A NECESSITY!
Love these videos! Thank you🔥🪢
Great stuff Pat. I am a BSA leader and embarrassed to say that I am terrible at knots. Your demonstrations were great.
This is knot what I expected.
Great timing amigo, been running HH6 through knots for the last few days after a 12 state road trip to Wa. and back to DC/Walter Reed forgot about the cats paw
I learned a firemans hitch or something like that a while back. A 10' length of rope will get you off a building / condo with balconies. You can pop it loose and tie it over and over again until you get on the ground. Super cool.
We were taught a good many knots in the UK fire brigade training school. Then when I went to my first watch I met an old guy who was a knot pest. He taught me what he called the self-rescue knot, which I think you are talking about. You lower yourself down one end of the line then pull the other one to retrieve the line. Never used it in the brigade but very handy when sailing alone.
Anyone else and I would’ve made a joke about the kilt. But seeing pat mac in a kilt I am now ordering one
I learned a few things and this was worth my time to watch. Thank you.
This is the best knot tutorial that I have ever seen! Thank you!
Thank you for making these videos Mac
Outstanding as always
Not doubt in my mind that Pat will be the last man alive in the apocalypse
Captain tying knots!!
Excellent instructions! Years ago I made a video on how to braid a finished eye in rope , including wire rope . It is very rewarding to share useful knowledge!
Good video mac...flash backs of Jotc in Panama...
Thanks for making this. Good stuff.
Very cool! Lobstering in Maine we use a few of these. The bowline, square knot, and one really similar to the double sheep end(if I heard that correct) we just call a buoy knot. You can also place a stick in the middle of your bowline if you’re using it with a ton of tension on it, like pulling out a vehicle or barge. Although the bowline is good for easy untying, the stick makes it peel apart like butter.
Thanks foe the knowledge sharing.
When I watched your first 'basic dude stuff' vid, I couldn't tie most of these. But I practiced, I made it habitual, and now I can. Thanks for that :)
I can forgive the dad joke cause 1-dads appreciate dad jokes, and 2-kilt wearers appreciate kilts
Cool knots. Thanks!
man, these videos are just like showing kids who didn't have a father how to get by. rock on!
I love your dad jokes brother, too good hahahahaha! Great video, definitely lacking on my knot-tying skills, this is a great help thanks!!!
I needed this video about 10 years ago when I was a boy scout and couldn't even tie my shoes
Awesome as always.... As a crane operator I use figure 8, inside bowline, and sheet bend for rigging on a regular basis
Great video Pat!!
Thumbs up for the Tactical Kilt with blowsier pockets. :) I try to practice tying knots once a week or so. Its a perishable skill.
U da man Pat🤘
My climbing coach told me on the figure 8 was, "make an alien head, choke him out then poke him in the eye" hahah
I'm an arborist in training and love seeing your knot videos, climbing techniques would be cool :D
What does this guy not know how to do? Pat Mac is a walking encyclopedia.
Great video!
Also want to add, On the gulf of Maine we say bowline like Pat. And we do care about the verbiage 😬
Good stuff 👍
Great life skill even for non shooters. This video is a keeper.
I dont care for bear grills but I saw a cool knot he used for repelling and it was retrievable. Never seen it explained on other shows.
Great demo.
True leadership
Great video
I find the Albright knot quite aesthetically appealing, great for lanyard loops around knife handles etc
Thanks
I wear a kilt a lot... Utility Kilt for the win!!!
Taut line hitch is another one I use frequently
PBS now presents Happy Little Knots with Pat Mac
Very cool.
The daily macattaks are awesome.
Lovin the kilt ! I have the multicam 511 kilt .. freaks people out when I go to the range wearing it ! 🤣
Hey pat I'm a new follower great video I wish I could have saw you a long time ago Take care of my friend
Thanks for sharing the knowledge
Awesome video! How much length of multipurpose rope would you keep in your truck for miscellaneous use? And what type of rope? Thanks for all the knowledge we all appreciate it!
Basic knot stuff!
It's been forever since I've practiced tying knots so I got a couple books on Amazon. The rope that came with it sucks so I think I'll get some cheap but decent rope so when I'm sitting around the campfire I can practice.
I heard that joke years ago and used it with my kids. Good to know I'm not the only one using it. 🤓
You know, growing up fishing, i tied all kinds of knots. When it comes to ropes i only know a few.
I use a series of slip loops on my 550 cord to store it/carry it.
Told that joke so many times,,,,,
Just get a weird look Guess they are "a fraid"
I heard you say on a previous vid you wanted to learn to weld , I’ve done that shit my whole life. I’ll pass the knowledge on if your willing to learn
I refuse to tie the knot!!
Great video as always. I am curious where that badass leather wrist cuff came from?
Hey Pat can we get a video on examples of use and importance of tubular nylon? Thanks!
bowline on the bight is highly useful
First Pat Mac video that I am already able to do the stuff. Go me! Can't shoot for shit and I'm not very fit though...
Funny how many different ways I’ve seen a boline tied
If you use a square knot in a load bearing role, you should secure the ends to the main line either with some tape, a whipping, or two half hitches. As long as the knot doesn´t touch anything or is under static load it´s fine, but as soon as it gets moved around, is under changing load or maybe rubs on something, it can open when not secured. This is the reason why e.g. climbers prefer a double fisherman´s bend for their strops nowadays. - The double sheet bend is fine for two rather similar diameter lines or a soft larger line. Again, not as much of a problem under continuous tension, but as you show it opens on its own if you let up for some reason. If the line is as stiff as the one you´re using, it might be better to just tie a nail knot around one end of the rope, or to use an Albright knot or lay back/ tucked back sheet bend that hold the loop closed stronger.
For a middle of the line fixing point an alpine butterfly knot should be better than a cat´s paw, as it can take a load between both standing parts as well as between the loop and either standing part. A cats paw can also side load a carabiner if it isn´t dressed neatly (meaning two full turns, or more in thinner line and all completely below the hook), and its turns create stress points in line that doesn´t do well with small radii like some braided aramide.
