OK so I only added the word "Tactical" to make it sound cool. But that's because it is! I don't know what kind of application this knot could have besides neck lanyards, but I'm sure somebody can think of something.

The gist here is to use a double overhand noose and thread either a bent loose end of paracord, or a fixed loop like a bowline, through the noose, and tighten it up in a specific way. The bowline variation will give you about 10 more pounds of force required to break the knot. Do watch the video though as there are some subtle details that are hard to explain with words alone.

The lanyard configuration demoed right in the beginning has about a 35 pound breaking point. Plenty strong enough for everyday activity, even running and jumping around, but "weak" enough to break easily if you're getting choked to death or sucked into a machine.

Since I came up with this idea in early 2011, there are now LOTS of competing video on YouTube. I'll take them all to court! [ Ссылка ] comes the closest to what I'm doing, but none of the videos I've seen give you a truly consistent, reliable, "all or nothing" specific breaking point like I'm showing in this video. Nor do they do force tests or show you variations that will lower or raise the force required. So yea my video is the best, la, la la la, la.
