    I think it's crazy to keep your nalgene in your main compartment. So much better to keep it easily accessible on the shoulder. This pack would require additional bottle pockets to be added to the straps. Unfortunate, but doable.

    Great video. An awesome Channel..Just wondering in the video you were packing a 30l sack for overnight. I am mainly out just for a day in the mountains say 6 hours. Would a 30l sack be to large? I have an osprey talon 33 but wondering if I could get away with the 18-26l? Also would the life systems mountain first aid kit be to large to take for only two people?

      Hello and thanks for the comment. Yes the "dont use this knot ever" is in the context of this video for tying ropes together. Figure of 8 knot is fine for tying onto the rope etc.

    You don't need to take your pack off to drink if you add hydration tubing with one-way in air valve and bite valve. Located in the center of your pack adjacent to your spine you will minimize side to side thrusting as you run/hike. You might also reduce the weight of your H2O bottle by buying a Smart water bottle or equal, 1, 1.5 or 2 liter type and add hydration tubing and bite valve. No one-way air valve req'd. as the bottle is collapsible and blowing air back into it will reshape it.

    Thanks for sharing this. How about sunscreen, toothpaste/brush, soap/wipes, towels, toilet things (trowel, toilet paper), first aid kit, and water filters? And I normally like to take at least one set of clean clothes to sleep in...wondering if you don't bother with that. And do you take and bear/critter sacks/cans or are those not needed in your part of the world?

    • @themountaineeringcompany

      Hi Jimmy, I didn't put the personal items on the video as its very specific and it would have made the video too long. A female fast packer for example would have very different personal items to a male with no hair! That was just my take. I do however think I should have added suncream as its a really important addition that everybody should take.

  • @ski4life9
    @ski4life9 3 года назад

    It’s called a windburner not a wind boiler. And the reason your melted snow tastes burned is cause it is. When melting snow you need to have water in the bottom of the stove already hot. Otherwise you risk scorching your pot as well. Also give white gas a go and ditch the environmental catastrophe of canisters

  • @martynwatson4929
    @martynwatson4929 3 года назад

    another massive advantage of the single overhand is it easily slips through the eye of your figure eight meaning no stopping to disconnect from the rope and the associated dangers of that.

  • @davidwarren719
    @davidwarren719 3 года назад

    One thing I’d like to point out to anyone for whom it isn’t clear-the use of overhands over other bends which may be perceived to be stronger is largely, though not solely, due to its aforementioned ability to NOT become stuck on retrieval. This is not a trivial concern. Getting your rope stuck can itself be a safety issue. Great video.

    How about a Figure 8 Retrace with the ends backed up with Double Fishermans?!

    • @themountaineeringcompany
      @themountaineeringcompany 3 года назад

      Hi Jurak. I've found from experience that a double fisherman's knot whether used on its own to tie ropes together or with a retraced figure of eight (Flemish bend), is very likely to catch in a crack when pulling the ropes down. I've found an overhand is far less likely to do this which is why we teach using the overhand rather than any other knot. I would never recommend using the flat figure of eight. Whatever knot you use its important to understand the pros and cons and use the right knot for your objective. Hope that answers your questions. Happy climbing! Matt

    • @climberly
      @climberly 3 года назад

      at that point why keep making more and more complicated knots when you can just do an overhand?

    • @DisWolfen
      @DisWolfen 3 года назад

      The correct and safe way to use a figure 8 knot for joining ropes to rappel is to fix the core problem, not to throw a double-fisherman's* on as a bandaid. the flemish bend (figure 8 bend) should be correctly performed in this manner rope1LOAD knot rope1TAIL rope2TAIL knot rope2LOAD in this way, the bend/knot is stressed only along its strong axis and will not be at risk of rolling apart. It still has the weakness of not being a flat knot and having a risk of being caught. * - do you mean a double barrel on two ropes? do you have enough tail to perform a double fisherman's?? this is just a bad plan generally

  • @dialallama
    @dialallama 3 года назад

    If you are leading and your partner falls so that the rope is under tension, would it not be useful to have the potential to release coils without undoing the clove hitch. For example if your partner has taken a head injury and you have a convenient anchor point nearby. How about putting the loop of the overhand gate-side or not clipping it at all?

    • @themountaineeringcompany
      @themountaineeringcompany 3 года назад

      Hi Joe and thanks for the reply. The context of this video is for pitched climbing where your second is at a stance and belaying you. The method you describe would be moving together or in glacial terrain. It would then be better to use another method for tying off the coils.

  • @jirihaban380
    @jirihaban380 3 года назад

    From what I've gathered elsewhere single overhand should be absolutely enough for rappeling with tails at least 30 cm. Yours are longer, which is usually fine, but I've heard reports of ppl actualy setting up the belay on their tails as they were quite long.

    • @themountaineeringcompany
      @themountaineeringcompany 3 года назад

      Hello and thanks for your comment. As with any video we aim to show the safest, easiest to understand method to avoid people taking away the wrong information. A single overhand works fine with long tails when both ropes are the same diameter and not wet. In anything but the ideal circumstance the method we have demonstrated is the safest. Lots of different methods for doing this but we don't have time on a video to discuss all the options and drawbacks. We save this for our courses when people join us in the mountains!

    • @themountaineeringcompany
      @themountaineeringcompany 3 года назад

      Hello and thanks for your comment. A number of tests have been conducted that show two overhands back to back provide an increase from the standard single overhand. A well tied single overhand fails between 3-4kn. Two overhands back to back fail at around 4 - 4.5 kn. You are correct though that a second knot will roll but this is at a much higher force than the single knot. For more details on the pull tests results contact Petzl or DMM

    • @themountaineeringcompany
      @themountaineeringcompany 4 года назад

      I much prefer using the rope loop as it reduces wear on the belay loop and also ads an extra dynamic element into the system. That being said, the system would still work the same going into the belay (Harness) loop. Lots of methods for tying off chest coils. whichever method you use make sure its tested and works for you! :-)
