BUSHCRAFT TWIST TIE ANOTHER LOOK

But wait there’s more!! Love it!!

That is FANTASTIC! Thank you so much.

Cool idea.

Genius. Thanks.

I just thought of a use for this I have a portable solar panel this would work great for securing it to a pack instead of a carabiner and reduces the chance of breaking the panel with a metal carabiner

I wonder if you could make a twisted clothesline with a 100 ft of paracord. Would be great around camp to hang anything you don’t want on the ground.

Your twist tie idea solved my problem of drying clothes outdoors on hangers under super windy conditions. I attached the looped end of the twist tie with a prusik knot towards the end of hanger hook/handle, positioned the hanger on the clothesline, tightened the rest of the tie around the hanger neck, then finally caught the knot in a twist to close the entire loop. Boom/done. No flying hangers at a windy fjord in Norway. Fantastic idea whose usefulness is limited only by one’s imagination. Thank you!!

Sometimes, the simplest idea becomes a great useful tool or gadget.

I use a similar method to make heavier 'rope' from Paracord. I actually have about a 25' leash of it for my 75 pound Staffy (american and English Mix). it works great and I don't worry about it breaking. Almost as good as Muletape... ALMOST. But this is a great idea, and I never thought of it while spinning rope up. Thanks for this!!!! Wife love when I show her new stuff like this from you guys.

I created a few of these and used them on a recent canoe trip in Nova Scotia. Terrific way to quickly secure gear when heading out on the water. Useful. Thank you.

Hi blackie from southern California..if u have a bunch of twist ties to make,could u put one end in a vice and the other in a cordless drill,on low? U could really get a twist,and save some time..thank u for everything you do! God bless

He estado viendo sus videos desde hace tiempo y me encantan. Éste en especial me resulta de ideas brillantes. Ya soy un viejo lobo plateado que disfruta el bosque cada que puede. Agradecimientos infinitos. Guanajuato México 🇲🇽

Spiraling is a rope making principle probably first used at least 500 years ago. Passing strands through the spiral has been used in splices god knows how long ago……did you know I was the first person to propose the use of tarps? And hats…..yep….hats…..I thought of them too.

Replace the overhand knot with a diamond knot. It takes a little more time but will look much nicer and work a liytle better

Great video 👍 I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍

🤣😂Cara - beener=carabiner🤣😂

Most excellent idea! Would work better with a few more actual demonstrations, especially when you mention the use of a toggle stick. Great informative video, as always :)

Now, the cordage type will change the length needed to complete the task, so figure out what your baseline needs are for these items you make. For example, using 550 cord, to make his "Zip-Tie" (Canadian Jamb Knot on one end and a Bowline on the other end) that will eat up 7" of cordage (Bowline and to Overhand Knots at the other end). To make a soft shackle using a Diamond Knot will consume 9" of 550 cord from your overall length . So if you need custom lengths for specific jobs, now what your baseline needs are for what your knots will consume. 18" of 550 cord doubled over and a Diamond Knot will net you a finished length of 4.5" of shackle.

Thank you for showing. This is genius! So many uses…😮

Blackie, I found great usefulness in this idea when doing slingshot band attachments using the wrap and tuck method. It's sort of like whipping, but you wrap a latex band around the 'twist tie', pass the end through the little loop, and pull it through. The line being twisted into one unit makes it so much easier to line everything up. Thanks!!

IT IS BETTER TO SHOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE OTHER ILLUSTRATION ...IT IS EFFECTIVE.

A true innovation!

I just watched this after watching your quick deploy ridgeline. If you made these with a loop at one end, when you when you tie the first knot. You can have a prusik with a shackle built in

One of my favourite tips Blackie.Your tutoring skills are top notch in that they are easy to follow and you explain everything so well.Cheers from another Silver Wolf Downunder🦘

Great video. Thanks

One idea I had for your twist tie cord, is to use it to quickly set up a teepee, since the spiral creates separate sections so to speak, if you took say three or four poles at equal lengths, put each pole through one loop section, then the other pole through another loop section of the same string and so on, then you basically have the one end of each pole joined together, so you just stand the poles up and open the legs up to whatever distance you need for the size of your teepee, so you can put a makeshift teepee up in just a few minutes 😎👍

This twisting might be slightly better for strength than the brummel noose the climbers use on their soft shackles.

Blackie - Wanted to let you know the bush craft twist tie has worked really well for me as:
1) My fire steel (D shaped, not ferro rod) and flint rock combo - BTT leads off the fire steel in a line, and I insert the chert rock into the BTT at the other end, always keeps snug.
2) Alice pack handles, oh yeah this works good. I twist some paracord down to about an 18" BTT; pass the length around one side of the frame and through the BTT tail eye (loop) making a hitch on the outside of one shoulder strap; run the BTT through a cpvc pipe (1/4" diameter); and then wrap around the frame on the other side of the second shoulder strap. I do the double in-and-out of the end knot through the BTT and that holds the other end secured. If I found the cordage too long I just moved the knot down some, or wove the knot end more into the BTT.
Simply put: a lot of text to say the BTT can be a useful tool. Thanks for the lessons on the twist-tie.

Genius of expediency at work. Archive it.

Great tip to have. Thank you and God bless you and your family.

That would work pretty good to secure fire wood for cooking ( when You have to carry it with You , for whatever reason ) ! Think about it , what if it was really wet , or if no fire
wood was available where You needed it .

Just saw this "BUSHCRAFT TWIST TIE ANOTHER LOOK" video yesterday 3/4/23. I tried it with 1.18mm micro cord for the frist time. Got a little crosseyed for awhile but I did it. I will be 73 this year. Who says you can`t teach a old dog new tricks !!! Thanks Blackie, Richard

Oly chit!!!!

Wow 🤩 I work at my local hardware store and I can get the cord at a discount!! I guess I’ll have to get some and make some for these 🙏

I plan on sharing this with my grandson. As I teach him about camping. Thank you.

As soon as I saw this I immediately thought of doing it to my junglecords 👍

Very useful. I've saved more of your tips for future reference. Thanks for passing on your knowledge.

This is genius and takes soft shackles to the next level: auto-locking! Plus it has so many other applications! At the concluding knot end I tied an Ashley stopper knot while continuing to securely hold the cordage -- the Ashley stopper is better imo than an overhand and just as easy to tie -- the initial/starting knot can then be cut off (or skipped entirely if you hold very tight to the paracord). Your technique is awesome! Thank You!

Thankyou Blackie. Simple, light and multi functional.

Love it! Big thanks.

I'm at home actually applauding at certain points, so delighted to see a solution that's so easy and has so many applications! Hurray! Let's have a campfire meeting someday, Blackie.

Excellent video! I use something similar called a “Bimini Twist “ knot, I use as a shock leader in fishing. It’s also a close way to make a furled leader, Love your videos!

First thing that came to my mind was to use it as a laundry line to hang socks, and other small items and save the clothes pins for larger items. Thanks for the knowledge 🌹

Love it ! I’ll be making bout 8 of em tomorrow….

Blackie you're ideas are great this video opened a big window of possibilities for this idea for that simple idea, please keep doing what you're doing I think I might have uses for this. Have a great day Blackie 👍

Love it

Great content... I made few of them . They really have 101 uses. I have 1 hanging from my hammock ridgeline to hang my phone to watch videos. Thanks for all the great videos.

Interesting idea . Just a thought for someone making up a bunch of these .Put a ring from an old dog collar in your vise, tie a temporary knot in one end and tie it to the ring.Take the other end of your pre measured cord in the chuck of a hand Drill and twist away. I'm 71 and my Arthritis doesn;t appreciate all that hand twisting so I think this might be a less painful way of making up a bunch of these ties ahead of time.
