If you're a prepper who is new to the world of knots, then first you should learn that a monkey's fist or paw is a specific kind of knot.
In particular, this knot resembles the fist or paw of a monkey. Preppers use it as a weight at the end of a rope or heaving line to get tasks done. You can also use it as a weight around a stone, making it easier to throw the rope from one location to another. You also can use it without a weight and simply tie the knot.
A monkey fist also has many other purposes. A monkey fist can pull a cable to shore on a ship, and it can also act as an anchor while survivalists rock climb. It's also quite handy if preppers are stuck in a SHTF situation and can be used as a self-defense weapon.
Preppers enjoy learning new skills and knowing how to make a giant monkey fist is another DIY survival skill that's fun to learn.
Let us warn you — this monkey fist is huge — so let's call it a gorilla! Follow the steps on the video on the next page and learn how to construct a monkey fist for the collapse.

Different thing entirely.
Yeah i just made one of these i like it a lot
What use are they?
When they hace a metal ball inside them they are for self defense but my large one has no ball inside it, just heavy because i used thick rope.
Well it isnt its three monkey fists two one on each end of one long rope and one more tied to the center i used the same tecnique to make the balls
Just with my hand instead of using the little bock.
Worthless.. Every time i try watching it all i get is ” congradulations, you just won a wallmart gift card…” full screen, can’t be closed…. Absolute fraud..
