THIS KNOT IS ILLEGAL!

Generally sailors carried them

I tied this very knot in the Coast Guard to make heaving lines for attaching to mooring lines.

This AI images are so distracting because they look so bad. You couldn't find anything better copy free?

Maybe illegal in backwards nanny states. No knot is illegal where I live. As a child I was always told it was a federal felony to tie a noose. Turns out it's not only perfectly legal to tie a noose it's perfectly legal to display it and threaten people with it as Donald Trumps ignorant evil supporters have proven time and time again.

why so much AI generated images?

Bet some monkey knots got quite smelly after a sailors visit to the brothel😊

if it's legal, it's usually useless

In Canada we are lucky if we can defend ourselves with a wet noddle..🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️🥶🍟

It they are so beautiful..🤷‍♂️😹

... it's illegal in a FEW states.

big difference between the force you can put behind this, and a hammer.... not even debatable really.

Frozen orange or apple in a sock somehow is not illegal though.

It's one of the worst things do brake a car window. You need something sharp and hard.

Doesn't make any sense. You could simply attach any metal element to a rope and have the same effect. This is just more elegant.

Life deletion trial😂

Since when is it illegal in US states? I see these for sale in tourist shops.

i know the name of this knot because of spongebob

THATS A FIST. A LEAD BALL IN THE CENTER.. GIVEN AT PATHWAYS RECOVERY CULT

See also the term " Life Preserver ". This term comes from the highly respected Book, Ashley's Book of Knots. Which is available as a free PDF download. The term comes from using it in self defence and the versions in the book serm to be in the 18 to 20 odd inch mark in length.

If certain people had their way, only criminals would be carrying weapons. That is the result of outlawing weapons. Intelligent legislation would result in tougher sentencing for violent criminals, not preventing food people from defending themselves.

After making a DIY black powder shotgun at home, monkey fist doesn't seem to be too bad of a thing to be illegal.

No cop will ever arrest you for it. It's an urban legend.

It is not jewlery….IT IS JEWELRY

2.8 M views for this.....?
for captain obvious, and not applicable two centuries old tradition....
While i can get the same effect with my heavy @ss coin pouch or bicycle lock...?
enough internet for today...

These along with many other things like brass knuckles are mostly just legal because of their perception. There’s no practical reason a lot of things are illegal other than it was a sensational and scary thing at one point in time so it was banned.

Most laws should expire and need to be renewed every ~50 years or so. That way we’d have up to date laws that are based on the panic and presumptions of the past.

if this is illegal than whatever chemical warfare my wife conjures in the commode should be on a terrorist watch list.

let me get this straight: this knot is illegal in the US. The US. Where you can buy a weapon at Walmart.

I prefare a sock with change in it

Was watching and interested until I saw that you used AI art. Ironically right before your subscribe prompt. Immediate dislike and click away. As an obviously monetized channel, you should pay for art. Not generate cheap knockoffs.

2nd Amendment "shall not be infringed"
Its not illegal.

It is a very useful knot. My dad taught me to make one as a kid

We should ban socks next; because i can put a lead ball in one and basically have the same effect. /sarcasm

illegal where ohh maybe in GermanNazistan hahahaha

It is an illegal knot. proceeds to make one on video showing many others how to make one

not illegal, bullcrap click bait bye

Morons who think the second amendment doesn't apply all read it as saying "the right to keep and bear (fire)arms..." .
Now, local laws may state one thing, but my key chain that attaches to my belt loop is not illegal as such, but is technically slungshot.

Stupid. If you have a gang problem lock up the gangs. Let people have their knot thingies.

At this rate, having fists attached to our forearms will become illegal

I always thought (as kid growing up) it was ridiculous that dad’s blackjack was illegal but the 4 inch dagger he had in the same work case wasn’t. His was a lead head with a 6 inch spring handle with the wrist loop. It was wrapped with braided leather. Small thing but definitely didn’t want to get hit with it! 😁
Interesting upload

These slingshots and knots have been used by natives from a lot of countries around the world way before sailing was a thing

illegal to carry in germany? illegal in Deutschland?

Wait so..... knot = illegal. Assault rifle = all good.

I mean surely even Americans can see the irony behind this 😆

That’s too much work to make these and clearly shows intent…
A pair of socks and a pair of baoding balls would do much better and you would always have plausible deniability…

Load of rubbish. Every fishing boat uses these on a line to throw ropes.
It's simply can't be illegal. It is certainly not policed if that's the case.

*ties a stupid knot"
FBI OPEN UP

Looks like a common throw line ball

They do not want people to have such easy access to weapons. But my brother in law can go without an id and buy a gun from walmart lul. You can also just use the legal 3D printed gun. But no knot.

legally, you have to drill a hole in your lead ball to tie it to the string

"...Brothels with their hard earned money" why would I care if sailors got mugged if they were just going to spend it on hookers anyway 😂

Interesting and informative video!
But the random, obviously ai generated pictures really were not necessary and mostly distracting, even apart from the ethical issues around ai "art"...
