Tying knots is one of those skills you take for granted until you’re in a “situation”. Whether for survivalism or simple everyday convenience, learning how to tie useful knots is a skill everyone should master. This is especially applicable for hunters, backpackers, rock climbers, or anyone who enjoys the liberating expanse of the wild.

Different knots are best suited to different applications and knowing which knot to select is as valuable a skill as being able to tie them. This could potentially be critical, in fact, as in some situations correct knots could be vital for survival. A tutorial by the Outdoor Boys shows you how to tie 8 knots that will suit most of your needs:

1. Chain Sinnet (AKA Daisy Chain or Monkey Chain): This is basically a series of loops or bights that shorten your rope—making storage easier. It allows you to keep things tidy and secure in no time. And untying is as easy as pulling one end.

2. Farrimond Friction Hitch: Looking for a convenient and quick way to tighten a tent ridgeline? Try the Farrimond Friction Hitch, which is similar to a Prusik knot—but with an extra wrap.

3. Trucker’s Hitch: The knot is quite strong and great for boating, sailing, camping, and strapping down heavy objects. This makes it an ideal option to secure objects on a vehicle, creating clotheslines, or tying down sails or tents.

4. Constrictor Knot (Gunner’s Knot): This is the go-to knot for whipping and binding purposes. It is not prone to slips and it tightens readily—making it applicable in surgical procedures.

5. Cow Hitch: The cow hitch is similar to the popular Clove hitch—only that the second half hitch is reversed to reduce the risk of binding. You can use it to secure a lanyard to a rope, secure cows, or protect bowstrings.

6. Half hitch: The half hitch is often used to increase the security of a primary knot – i.e., it plays a supporting role.

7. Fisherman’s Bend: Simple, unlikely to slip under strain, strong, and easy to untie—the Fisherman’s bend is awesome for a number of reasons. It’s typically used to attach a rope to an anchor, hook, or ring.

8. Water Knot (Tape Know, Grass Knot, or Overhand Follow-Through): This is often used in climbing since it can withstand a ton of pressure, it’s easy to tie, and it is effective at joining two lines.

Here’s the video for a hands-on tutorial on how to tie all these essential knots.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

😳 What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises…

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.
