How to Make a Remote Grab System, a great life hack!
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have dropped something like your keys and they are just out of reach? Well, with a length of tube and a bit of string, you can now make your own remote grab system.
For this remote grab system you will need to pass a length of rope through a piece of tubing, the longer the tube the further you will be able to reach. Once the rope has been passed through the tube, you just need to tie the Marlin Spike Hitch in the rope, which will form a very simple noose knot. Now you can snare your item, pull up tight on the rope and retrieve the item back to the safety of your hands.
If you are looking for videos of *knots being used in action* , I do recommend that you visit @TheBearEssentials
