This knot is amazing - and a serious upgrade to the simple slip knot that most people tie for mid line loops. It's my new favourite Mid-Line Loop, and yes, it's better than the Alpine Butterfly, in my opinion, if you need a more in-line mid loop that's faster to tie and easier to release.

![Worlds MOST DANGEROUS Knot!? ..or the most USEFUL? [How to tie the Constrictor Hitch]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4LgbkXIF0oU/mqdefault.jpg "Worlds MOST DANGEROUS Knot!? ..or the most USEFUL? [How to tie the Constrictor Hitch]
THE CONSTRICTOR HITCH might either be the MOST DANGEROUS ...OR...The MOST USEFUL knot out there. Use this one with caution, and DONT ever tie it around body parts - because its nearly impossible to get undone. That being said, it has a number of amazing uses which I explain thoroughly. A Great knot for Camping, Prepping, Bushcraft and Survival.
When tying this knot with a non-stiff rope, like paracord, especially without the inside lengths, it will bind up so tight that youll nearly always have to cut it loose. This knot is a close-cousin of the CLOVE hitch, and has the advantage of two extra working ends that when used, wont affect the movement of the actual knot itself.

In this tutorial video, youll learn how to tie a bowline knot, a versatile knot that can be used in a variety of situations including camping, survival, bushcraft, and general life skills and knowledge. The bowline knot is also known as the king of knots because of its strength and reliability. Whether youre tying a knot for fishing, securing your shelter, or just need to tie something securely, the bowline knot is a valuable skill to have in your knot-tying arsenal. In this video, well also touch on other popular knots like the clove hitch, square knot, and reef knot, as well as different types of rope and cordage like nylon, sisal, and macrame cord. So, whether youre a seasoned knot-tying expert or a beginner, this video is perfect for anyone looking to improve their knot-tying skills and learn valuable survival knots.
The following knots, hitches, and bends are in this video. I break them down into Anchor knots, Tension knots, mid-line knots, and binding knots.
Youll find the Zeppelin bend - or 69 knot, The Sheet bend and Double sheet bend, the Bowline, (Anti-Bowline or Eskimo knot), the Evenk Hitch (Siberian Hitch), Taut-Line Hitch (Magnus Hitch, Midshipman Hitch, and Rolling Hitch), Truckers Hitch ( Auto-Locking Truckers Hitch), The Prusik knot, Alpine Butterfly, Constrictor Hitch and Canadian Jam knot (Quick Release Jam Knot).
I tie all these knots with Paracord, and they are considered Survival knots, bushcraft knots and camping knots. I explain the use of a Bight, round turn, hitch, and bend.
Wether you want to learn how to tie down a tarp, how to set up a tent, what to do with a fray or cut in your rope, or how to join two ropes together - this is the guide for you!
