Hi my name is Dan and I'm here with Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to tie the constrictor knot. Which is a excellent knot to tie a leaner to make sure you don't loose any small thin objects. In this case the most important camping object the hot sauce. It is tie very similar to the clove hitch. Make wrap around and under the neck of the bottle. Then wrap up and around and were the lines cross feed the working end under both of them. You know have a constrictor knot. The one most lease advantage to this knot is that it is not very easy to untie. However it is very secure and only gets tighter or only gets tighter when you pull on the ends. I can tie it for you one more time. Go around and under, cross over, right were this two cross and that is a constrictor knot.
