How to Tie a Strangle Knot

Video Transcript

"Now another great use for your double overhand knot is to create something that is called a strangle knot. Now a strangle knot has a great purpose. If you need to carry something else that has a large head or something that you can't, doesn't have an actual hole for you to get a stopper knot through. So to demonstrate this I'm going to take my length of rope that I have here and put it down here. We're going to pull a little bit out and create a loop and twist it under once for our overhand knot. Twist it under a second time for our double overhand knot. What I'll do is I'll pull this center piece out and get a nice loop going on here. Now this loop has both pieces of rope (oops let me put this through here) has our piece of rope going through both ends and it creates a nice circle here. So we'll put in our nice piece of wood through and pull the ends together and it creates a nice strangle knot. We'll do this one more time. Take our length of rope that we have here, create our loop, do it under once, do it under twice, pull a little bit and get this loop going on that we have here and just slide our piece of wood through it and pull it tight. A little bit more force and there you go a nice strangle knot."
