I’ve used this for so many things since you shared it. It deploys so easily and holds just tightly enough for so many everyday domestic applications. Like bundling poles together for carrying, for example. Or improvising a child lock on French doors. The most useful thing I’ve gotten from your channel is inspiration for being creative with a narrow number of basic knots. I already knew the constrictor, but this simple variation gives it all new function.
As someone who's been using a double strand Loop of rebar tie wire as my argon cylinder strap for years, I'm very excited to see this video pop up on my feed
This appears to be a constrictor knot with one extra loop compared to a standard constrictor knot. Maybe closer to a boa constrictor knot? Very useful! Thanks.
Very cool knot, maybe instead pulling the working ends all the way though you could try two bits creating a slip for each side. You would be able to tighten the line and with the slips pop them out and remove the line...
I've got a one gallon Yet jug. Been trying to find a way to keep it from rolling around in the footwell or trunk of a car. I'll play with this but I think i need something I can secure to a D-ring or cleat.
@@stephenclarke9468 To hold my gas bottles , I use a double back to back Blakes hitch with the two free ends passing around the bottle in a loop and then through each half of the hitch. You pull on the two ends to tighten it. I use this to hold the gas bottle in a cradle in my car when I take it for filling. The movement of the car has not loosened the hitch. With the blakes hitch you can increase the friction of the knot by increasing the number of turns. I also use the blakes hitch on string tied shorts etc instead of a shoelace type knot
Isn't the initial knot a three coil abok 3440 'Strangle Knot? (Also illustrated as 1239 & 1240.) The 'Constrictor' proper is abok 3441.[1] BTW, that Strangle Knot tied in Nylon Mason Twine, pulled taut with a couple of spikes makes for an _excellent_ whipping. Four coils works best for me, as more tends to 'bulge' in the middle. Keep the coils together as you start tightening. Also, it's my understanding, most if not all fire codes, want compressed gas bottles secured with chain... as it won't quickly burn or melt through in the event of fire... [1] Both Strangle & Constrictor are covered as several other abok numbers.
As a welder myself, I've seen ratchet straps (and chains) used almost everywhere, especially for mobile setups. Not just welding gases which are inert, but oxyacetylene rigs too--and those are more dangerous lol
Is there a similarly strong cinch knot that has a quick release? I've been using a quick trucker's hitch knot on a bowline to close my bags of chicken feed, but it's far from ideal since it can rotate freely (not to mention the quick release is a little _too_ quick for the application).
Any chance you have a quick release knot that would work for staking tomatoes and plants? Most of these applications would be using strips of 1 inch wide cloth not cordage. Thanks

Reading this makes it all worth it. To think, I wasn’t even going to post this video at first. Thanks for your comment.
Just want to thank you, Mr Definitely-no-amateur. _This_ is what I've been looking for.
Thank You, I sure appreciate your posts.
Probably one of my favorite channels
Now that's brilliant - that goes on my go-to knots/knot applications list!
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
How about a knot buckle? Something that comes undone easy, with the right move, and it "buckles" together quick.
I love how a constrictor will set like concrete. handy tutorial.
This can have so many applications! I'm thinking about using this to make cinch straps. Most of your content is full of practical knots! Thank
Excellent knot, direct to myu favourites!
Fabulous! This will come in handy.

0:46. Of course, there’s always a scissors to make sure the ends match.

Awesome! I do the same thing but with a larkshead but never thought to do it with a constrictor. Nice

This is very good. How are you able to come out with these knots?
God bless you.
Thanks.
I need your advice.
You can also use a cow hitch (often also referred to as a rope zip tie) which is a little easier to tie
and easier to remember
I'm guessing it will pull tighter than the cows and undo more easily, but i haven't tried it yet.

Wish I knew this before. I used bungee cords for my cylinders 😢 ouch!

It looks like a strangler to me.
Appreciate your whipping suggestion. Works great! But hella fidgety to tie 😢
You can learn a lot of useful stuff on RUclips

Google slipped constrictor knot. It should work with cloth, I think.
Look up the Siberian hitch (aka the falconer's knot). Very fast to tie with a quick release. Good luck! :)
You can knot react to an argon video
This looks like a barrel knot that you then thread both working ends into prior to tightening.
👍😎
The key to this knot is obviously saying "this thing is not going anywhere"
Great!
волшебник!
wish u were my dad
Keep riding that bike and go do good things

You could put those in a bite to quickly undo this
