hi guys own good morning because i'll be posting this up in the morning and sort of my daily not not a really really simple one for you today as I said all these videos are going to start simple gradually work to be a little bit more complex okay with this not what you need two pieces of course just like this and it's not that i use for tying two pieces of cords together really really easily without putting putting a stress planet because a lot of knots if you put a knot any other piece of cord and pull it to its breaking quite a large break that knot this knot kind of alleviate some of that stress it's incredibly simple to do okay it's going to be called the reef nuts the first night I learned when I was in the scouts so you start with you two ends and then all you need to do i'll come a little bit close for you is you go right over left and under so you get this so flat and then you reverse that little process and you go left over right and under all right every time i do this not i always say that to myself I always done it since I was a little okay and when you've got this not right you'll find that you should be able to do this with it okay so that is the easiest way to do not and that's really strong not when you first tank up it will give a little bit so you know make sure you compensate for that and when it's done correctly this is what it should look like soil that's a little bit blurry on there that's what it looks like that's the reef knot okay so remember I'll go through it again for you because it's that easy you go right over left and under then left over right and under and there you go great not for attaching two piece of paracord to itself or any chord for that matter really really easy and it's quite nice looking not as well now remember always checking if you're not sure whether it's right or not cuz sometimes it's not quite as pretty looking at that to make sure it's right just give it the little test and get those two little interlocking pieces and that's the reef knot for you thank you for watching guys you
