Tying the Essential Climbing Knots with One Hand

[JimK]

Here's a technique to tie the essential climbing knots with one hand. These two videos will provide a sampling. So far, these have been mapped out: clove, anchor, buntline, fig-8 in line, fig-8 on a bight, butterfly, munter, slip, bowline and fisherman.

These are the benefits:
1. Ability to tie when only one hand is free
2. Learning mechanism

Dont know how often Id use these techniques but it is sure cool all the stuff you can find on Youtube.
I have a LOT of hobbies, music, model airplanes,model helicopters, there is just so much instructional type videos, on pretty much any hobby you can think off.
The world is a changing place.
