Bushcraft Knots Tutorial

A tutorial on knots that I use for bushcraft. I am not an expert really, I just use these knots a lot and this is my way of doing things.
Do not use these knots for climbing or any other dangerous activities!
Following knots are covered:
- Clove hitch with slipped overhand knot (mastwurf mit slipstek)
-Trucker's hitch (spanner mit slipstek)
-Tautline hitch (stopper stek)
-Bowline (palstek)
-Butterfly (schmetterlingsknoten)
-Sheet bend (schotstek)
-? [a knot similar to siberian hitch] (anbindeknoten)

I saw this last night and I've been making the knots over and over to train my hands to remember them. This is without a doubt the best video on knots I have seen. Your pointers on the important details about the knots is brilliant. For example, you say this must be parallel with that, and make sure you take a loop from that side of the loop. This makes it easy to make the knots correctly, and to remember where we often go wrong. Also, I've never seen the butterfly knot made so easily as here.

Absolutely the best tutorial on these basic camp knots I have found. Easy to understand and very insightful. I like the small tweaks you have introduced on some of the knots. Makes them much easier to follow. Thanks for teaching me something new!
