So I'm going to teach you guys a new way to tie in a peep that I honestly believe is the
best way to tie in a peep because after doing this once, I literally could not move my peep.
So you want to make sure that your peep is in a perfect spot before you tie it in because
once you do this way, it won't move.
Let's get started.
It's pretty easy.
So you're going to want two strands of serving.
I do about, you know, I don't know, a little over probably 16, 18 inches long.
And you'll want to tie this in.
So both of them together.
We'll do one at a time actually.
It'll be a little easier to see.
So you'll do a three loop across the bottom.
So just three loops like you're tying a shoe, but three loops underneath, like, so you'll
do one, then you'll do two, and then three.
So just like that, three, and then you'll take this on top, just like that, okay?
And then the next one, you want to do three loops on the bottom.
So I just do it like this because it's easier and then I'll spin it.
So make sure your tag ends are the same.
And again, it's one, two, and three.
And then so when you pull this down, you'll want to spin it around to where it's on the
bottom, opposite of the first one.
It doesn't matter which one goes where, you just want it to be opposite.
There you go, just like that.
Pull those nice and tight.
So now you'll see you have four tag ends like this.
So I know this looks crazy, but it's actually pretty easy to tie in.
So once you do three loop knot up top, three loop knot down below.
Now you'll see I actually learned this style, this version from Christopher Perkins.
So he goes up one leg and down the other.
So I just modified this and did all four legs.
So what I'm going to explain to you next is very simple and very easy, but it's important
that you do this correctly.
So the bottom one will go to the top leg and then the top one will go to the bottom leg.
So you crisscross these knots.
So all you're going to do is go through the top and do what's called a half hitch.
So again, you just pull it like this, pull it down, and I'll do three at a time.
So again, you just go right through the top, pull it down.
So it looks like this.
And you just pull it in like that.
Two.
I'll do three at a time before I tighten it.
Now once I do three, I'm not really pulling snug yet because I don't want to have the
peep slide in.
So now you can see I'm taking the top where the three loop knot is up top, and I'm going
to do the same thing down the bottom.
Except this time I come up from the bottom and go like this.
Again they're half hitches from the bottom.
That's all it is right here.
Two.
And then now on this third one, what I'm going to do is pull it pretty tight.
And so like this, both of these at the same time.
Crisscross and pull tight like this.
So I'm pulling them across each other like this.
So now all the half hitches are going this way, all these half hitches are going this
way.
It's super tight.
There.
So now I can just go through it pretty easily.
So now I'm just going to again keep going from the top.
Right down.
I'm going to do, I do twelve.
So I've already done three.
One.
Two.
Three.
Now I'm going to pull it tight.
So that's a total of six half hitches.
One.
Two.
Three.
Now I'm going to pull it tight.
Back.
Alright, so that's a total of nine.
One more.
So one.
Two.
And three.
So there you go, that's twelve.
And that's pretty good.
And I sometimes go a little bit higher.
You can do fifteen.
So I'll do fifteen for looks.
One.
Two.
Three.
And then I pull it tight.
So there, you can kind of see how the half hitch knots work like this.
So I went fifteen half hitches.
So now I'm going to do fifteen.
Now I do it opposite.
You don't have to.
That's just what I like to do.
But the knot looks better.
Alright, so again I've already done three.
So now I'm going to do one.
Two.
And three.
And I'm going to pull tight.
Okay, so there I'm done.
You kind of see how that works.
So I'm just going to tighten these up.
Make sure they're super tight.
But there, so that peep already is just not going to move.
So I'm going to burn these off down to here and then I'm going to do the same thing on
the other side.
So just to recap, just so you can see, you take the top tag end where the knot, the three
loop knot is coming from the top, which is this guy right here.
Again it's coming from the top.
You can see that goes down the bottom leg.
So it's opposite.
And then the three loop knot that's coming from the bottom goes up the top leg.
So you want to crisscross this.
That's because the half hitches are pulling down.
So if you've got them crisscrossed, then they're going to be pulling against each other which
will make that loop, or that peep not even movable.
Now I haven't even tied in the other side and I'm like literally moving the whole press
and that peep isn't moving.
So I truly believe this is the strongest knot sequence to be able to tie in a peep that
will make it not move.
And you don't get any string rotation because you're not pinching the actual string.
So let's go ahead and tie in these other legs.
So again, the bottom ones I go from the bottom.
So remember, don't pull it too tight.
You don't want it to move before you get knots on both ends.
So I'll do three on the bottom, two, three, and again I'm not pulling tight yet.
One, two, and three.
So now I've got three.
Now I'm crisscrossing and pulling into each other.
Like this.
There.
So now that knot is secure and I can just go down the legs.
Go ahead then.
Alright.
There you go.
So all four of the legs are tied in.
Now all I do now is just triple check.
Make sure every one of these knots are tight, which they are.
Then I will burn this sucker off.
There you guys have it.
That is a new way to tie in a peep that I believe is going to be the strongest and most
secure way to tie in a peep.
I've never found a peep.
I mean, look at this.
I will show you guys.
I'm going to pick this sucker up.
I'm literally trying to move it and it won't move.
That is impossible to move because the half hitches are working against each other.
So when the peep tries to slide down, you have half hitches pushing against it.
If it tries to slide up, you have half hitches pushing against it.
So this is by far, I truly believe the strongest way to tie in a peep and the most secure.
So some potential problems that you could have.
Check this out.
Peep won't move, but now you have these long gaps right here, right?
So people that want to secure it up here as well, that would probably be to keep stuff
from getting into the crevices and snagging your string.
So that is something that you want to take in consideration.
Being a hunter like me, I did hunt with it like this this year.
I haven't had any issues, but sticks, debris could get in there and slide down your string.
So that may be something to consider.
Because I'm not saying that this is necessarily, you know, the end all be all way to tie in
a peep, but I do believe it's the most secure and I don't know, it'd be worth trying.
So hope you guys give it a try.
