all right Canadian Jam not if you don't know this knot you should like it very popular this kind of knot is used especially for tightening things without having to worry about it I'm tightening on you it's real simple you know you can make some make trick makeshift straps for tightening your I know your wool blanket your sleeping bags etc you can tie it you can tighten some parts of your shelter if you wish it all depends on you so I'm just going to use this green paracord and hopefully you're going to see it that's all I had so what you want to do first right is just make yourself a little knot as such that's all you need to do alright it's raining so if there's any water and uh sorry about it important to leave a little tab sticking out then what you want to do the same one you're going to make another knot as such but this one you won't tighten it right first knot you tighten it second knot you don't now let's say I'm going to use my leg here right what you want to do let's say I'm tightening something that I want to stay tight all right let's say this is my wool blanket what you want to do is go under non-top under if you want this to work under the where you didn't close or not you're going to pull it and I want you to see why it's called the jam not so you just pull on it as such and pull and pull and now I can't feel a thing the knot here I'll do this again this tab now this will not come undone okay forget about it now to undo this you just grab the little tab here that you left and you pull the other way see so let me just turn this around a little bit so you can see as I pull okay you see this as I pull the knot just stops this from going back okay pull knob not just stops it here I pull and you can tighten that and now I can't feel my legs anymore but it's tight

again you just pull on it to loosen it up now great not to know the only little disadvantage and I don't think it's a big one well not for me anyway just undo this there the only little disadvantage okay all right so remember you're not all right this is one end is the first not then you made the second one and then you put it from under if you tighten and do you know use it a lot and you want to reuse this this top knot here will be difficult to undo and one other thing that this could be used for the canyon jam knot is if you're out there and you're one to snare and you have no wire no snare wire and you have paracord and you don't intend to use a spring trap well this is great because every time the animal is going to pull on this it's going to tighten around his neck and tighten around his neck sighting around his neck and give them a decent death by choking them all the time you know sometimes they twist and turn and and sometimes it may loosen up the wire when you use a snare but this case it won't so anyway sorry for the angle this is the only angle I could find it's raining I had to hurry up but I hope that this was good enough for you guys that ask thanks for watching this is Mike from bushcraft Bartons bye
