Hello and thank you for watching. Here is my take on the monkey fist. Please check with your state laws to ensure safety on carrying the monkey fist. Thanks to all the other guys making them out there that helped me and hope this helps you too. Please remember that it depends how much 550 paracord to use depending on the size of your object. I used the left over 9 feet of paracord I had and I like the fact that I can use the slack for many other things. Please like and share =)
