Russian mat- walled mat

In this video I demonstrate the Russian mat. The mat is done using a technique similar to the wall knot, so the mat is also known as a walled mat.

This mat is not all that common in literature. I learned it in the book The marlinspike sailor by Hervey Garrett Smith. I modified his version slightly.

Enjoy the video!
