How to Tie a Jansik Special Knot

The jansik special is a knot that has been claimed to have been ninety-five to a hundred percent secure. Usually what they mean by ninety-five to a hundred percent secure, is that once you tie a knot into a rope, you can weaken the overall strength of your rope. Say if your rope holds two-hundred pounds, you're usually going to weaken it by fifty to seventy-five percent. But this one is claimed to be ninety-five to a hundred percent. And I'll show you how this is done. If you'll look down here, you'll see that I've got my hoop that I'm going to use on my length of line down here. And what I'm going to do, let's move this down a little bit. We'll pull my length of the line out and run it through my hoop. There, I'm going to run it through one more time. To create a nice, almost double hoop here. What I'm going to do, is I'm going to run it, lets actually put my standing end at the top. There we go, my standing end over the top. Now take it, and run it over an through both knots like this, or both loops like this. What I'm going to do, is I'm going to do this a couple of times, to make a nice twist here. And as I pull on it, after I work on it a little bit. And as I pull on it, it will create something similar to a blood knot. And if you pull enough line into it, and you pull it tight enough there's your jansick special.
