Simple way to tie a Blood Knot

Postby Wildman » May 24th, 2018, 9:36 pm

Anyone who knows me knows I can be challenged tying knots. Lots have tried to help me. I struggle through them. Ironically, I made my living in a career where knots could mean the difference between life and death or injury. Check this out and let my know what you think.

That's great Jim. Thanks for posting it. I don't use a blood knot much but i'm going to put a few toothpicks in my vest and float tube.Of course , a year from now I will wonder why I have toothpicks in my vest and remove them from my vest and float tube.
