Carry Objects Like You Know What You’re Doing Using the Carrier Knot

The carrier knot is easy to learn and great for hastily carrying rounded or hard-to-carry objects. To begin, start by joining two ends of an 8-foot section of paracord with a Double Fisherman’s Knot to create a fixed loop. (Check out the Double Fisherman's Knot here → • How to Tie the Double ... )
Now, create a bight in the loop, making a large U-shape, with the Double Fisherman’s on the inside. Twist the inside bight once to create an X-shape. If you’re using a rounded or slick bottomed item, you may need to lay something like a paper towel or handkerchief over the X-shape first, to give the paracord a bottom to grip.
Now pass the outside loop over the interior Double Fisherman’s Knot and pull it through that loop from the underside. Pass the outside loop all the way over your object and to the opposite side. This creates two side loops. Reach underneath a side loop and grab that passed over loop. This last step is repeated on the opposite side as well. Now pull up on the two handles you’ve created to tighten and you’ll be ready to carry away.

What is the difference if any between this and the barrel knot ?

[@aidenstowe6856]

I havd tried this like 20 times and the top loop rises to the handles everytime

I had the same problem first time I tried it out. It sounds like your length is too long for what you are trying it on.
If it is just sliding off, try using your loop for the carrier on something bigger, if it works then you are doing it right and the rope is too long or whatever object you are using the carrier knot on just doesn't like being carried with the knot

The first twist ... Twist it twice .

Cool knot but please slow down a little bit and turn down the background music while you are talking. Take care.
