Really good educational video that is the only video that ive found that's been able to show me how to do it (really easily as well considering I was using old frayed 11mm climbing rope) though skip to 2.00 for the knot
A useful knot.An everyday use-that docking boats our way , cannot do without- is being attached to a long thin rope.After a very good spin-the monkeys fist is thrown at the dock from the ship.The thin rope in turn is attached to any of the ships docking lines , stern or aft. Once the monkey's fist lands on the dock , it's quickly pulled in by dockworkers, pulling the docking line behind it.Accidents and or damages though , have been reported , when care is not taken.Notis Koundouris SyrosGreece
All the videos on youtube show a 3 loop monkey fist. The actual # of rounds you will need to make depends on the size of the center object and the diameter of your rope. Be aware of this when making a monkey fist. FOR EXAMPLE: using standard paracord with a 1" steel ball requires FIVE rounds to completely cover the sphere inside. The extra rounds significantly increase the complexity of the tie and the time to tighten; patience is a virtue with that.
thank you this is a good video all the other videos i tried to watch how to tie a monkey fist i couldent get it but when i watched this one i finally got it
paracord penis knot vid on my channel. please cum and check it out! if your not easily offended of course. this vid is for all my knot lovers brothers out there
you can use four turns instead of three, and put a chunk of polystyrene inside, makes a floating end line, we use for sea kayaks in the uk and for rivers in bangladesh
thanks I have had a go before a few months ago and could not do this knot so i now want to have a go again as you have made me feel like I could do it wish me look thanks
I was told that the Monkey's Fist is illegal in some places because it can be used as a weapon. Aparently some people would put a large rock or smallish cannonball into it and wail on people with it.
@lukkha1 Not completely, a while ago sailors would tie a monkey's fist and use to beat the sailors who were being punished, but it wasn't the "go-to" thing. They used the monkey's fist in a gauntlet. It is a rather interesting knot.
@McIrish12 it will unravel itself eventually. But if you tighten it, as shown in the video, but without a weight, it closes in on itself and becomes stable.
hahaha "you could also swing it around and knock people out with it and stuff....but i wouldent suggest doing that cause you probably wouldent have very happy people after that" hahahahaha
Is it possible to layer monkey's fists to build up heft and size? You'd really just have to cut the smaller one away from it's line and use it as the weight for the larger.
The knot was constructed well however the commentary was lacking. Also, adding a weight to the middle of the knot is illegal for Naval heaving line competitions. I would not recommend placing the weight into the centre. Other than that, well done.
@MrRandomapple Nothing its the truth. A monkeys fist is used for fire poi. Yes you dip it in fuel and yes you light it on fire. THE MORE YOU KNOW! -rainbows-
at parts it sounded like he was having trouble he was like "uh" i was like wow *_* alot of talking in the beginning i dont think i needed to hear all of that... but it seems a little complicated but looks cool lol
