Do you find any problems with the pressure point just behind the thumb / wrist joint where the nerves pass to the hand?

Do you find any problems with the pressure point just behind the thumb / wrist joint where the nerves pass to the hand?

It depends on what kind of weight or pressure you intend to put on the wrist.

If you try to use this to suspend someone from it, you might find added pressure on this spot. If you are using this knot as a means of securing the wrist to a head board or spreaderbar or even behind the back, you shouldn't get that much pressure.

If you put a wristcuff or the modified lark on both wrists and then broght the tails to a center point and did a figure 8 type knot then used all four ends to tie off, you effectively share the weight across both wrists. The added factor here is that the hands in this position are also free though the wrists are bound, therefore the hand can grasp the rope as well.

Again when using any of these knots, I recommend that you throughly test them on yourself to learn what the limitations are and how best to use them and what ways you would avoid using them.

I hope that answered your question.

​

You are off to an event and when you arrive you discover that you have managed to forget your flogger or perhaps you are at an event and the occasion arises that a flogger is needed but cannot be found. What do you do?

Well if you have an extra length of 3/8 approximately 30-35 ft long, you can quickly create a flogger out of rope in 5 min. The below graphic shows the steps in creating one with the help of the intended victim…err I mean assistant. Imagine their anticipation and excitement in you using them to help create before their very eyes the instrument of pain you will be using on them. Can you say shiver!

#1 is showing you the basics of the knot which if you recognize it, it is the noose or (hangman’s knot).

#2-5 is showing how to use an assistant to quickly tie this knot which can often be complicated for some when trying to do it alone.

#2 You begin by locating one end of your rope and measuring off about 3-4 feet and fold it over creating a loop. You then slide this loop over your assistant’s wrist. With the long tail you have the assistant hold that in their palm, and you then take the short tail (3-4ft) and you loop it over the thumb and then bring it back to the other assistant’s hand. Holding it there you begin to loop this over and over making tight coils as you go. This is creating the rope-flogger’s handle.

#3 Once you have all the coils done, pass the end through the loop where the assistant’s thumb is and have them remove their thumb and hand. They can help by holding on to the this end so long as their hand doesn’t get in the way.

#4 Make sure you enlarge the loop as shown. If everything is right this will tighten the loop around the assistant’s wrist just a bit. Now, with the remaining rope begin to fold it back and forth in long looping type patterns until you run out of rope. (Do not coil the rope to make the loops, fold it back and forth).

#5 Gather up the folded loops and pass them through the loop you enlarged in step 4. They should be put through to their mid-point. Now grabbing hold of the loop around your assistant’s wrist begin to pull on one side while holding the coils. You will see the loop you enlarged in step 4 begin to synch down and the loop around your assistant’s wrist will loosen. Keep tightening till you see the rope loops which are the floggers falls, are synched good and tight.


#6 After you synch the loop down, you may want to add in a quick twist loop knot in the loop end of the handle(see step #5 its the loop at the top). this will help prevent slippage when swinging. Make sure you slide it right up to the first coil of the handle before tightening it down in place.



Wa-la you now have a rope flogger with a handle and a loop to put your own hand through. If you find the rope you are working with is to light, you can dip the ends in oil or just water to weight them.

A very handy skill to have in a pinch.

Enjoy.

Have also tried this.

As Rebecca said it works well and has an even level of pressure.

An even level of pressure is essential if you want the skin to remain healthy.
It also means that someone who has joint or circulation issues may be able to tolerate this more easily than cuffs.
It is feels supportive of the wrist because of the lay of the rope around the wrist itself.
(I am looking forward to being tied with this design in a real situation to see how it differs from cuffs).

The final advantage is that it is possible to 'escape' easily should an emergency arrive.

RJ I think this is a really good design.

Rebecca, Thanks for teaching it to me.
I managed to follow your directions in spite of your drawings.

Oh, did I say 'in spite of' I meant to say 'with the help of,' really I did

This is so full of information...thought some newer members might enjoy reading it and perhaps adding something of their own.
