directions

1) Make a loop with the short piece of string and lay this half way over the straight, long piece as shown in video

2) take either end of the long string and pass it over the doubled over piece of string

3) take the other end of the long string and lay it over the piece of string that you just pulled over

4) take this piece and pass it under the loop of string

5) pull this end through the loop on the other side of the doubled over string and pull tight

6) repeat this process starting with the string on the other side

remember over,over,under,through

this is a useful thing to have as it can be undone easily and used as cordage in an emergency situation
