How to tie a bowline knot? When I was looking for how-to tie videos for certain knots like the bowline I could barely find any useful ones, the only videos I found where fast and unclear and left me with more questions then answers. On our channel we try to do it different and will show you how to do tie the most useful knots for the outdoors men, arborists, boaters, and sport climbers. We slow things down for you and teach you with clear step by step instructions how to tie knots.
From the bowline knot, which is one of the best ways to create a strong loop in a rope to several friction hitches which can be used to ascend or descend a climbing line. Some of the most simple climbing hitches like the Prusik hitch and the Klemheist and also the more advanced hitches like the Bachmann hitchs and Valdotain Tresse or VT which is great for single rope techniques.

TOP 3 tree climbing friction hitches - Michoacan Hitch - Distel Hitch - Blake's Hitch
The top 3 Advanced friction hitches, the follow up in our friction hitches series. This time we take it up a notch and introduce friction hitches that are a bit more complex to tie then the ones in the first episode.
The friction hitches in this episode are mostly used in tree climbing.
Friction hitches are a special type of knot. They can slide freely up or down a climbing line but they grab when being loaded. This makes them extremely handy when climbing but also when you need to hang something with adjustable tension or when you want to tie down a load.
We selected the top 3 easiest to tie slide and grip hitches.

Thank You very much!
Good to hear it was useful to you 👍
Very easy to follow, thank you
Glad it was helpful! We do our very best to keep it as short and clear as possible :)
I think this is an excellent demonstration. Thank you for simplifying it.
Good to hear. We try to keep it as short as possible.
I approve
Good to hear
Great Video! I was trying to figure out what this knot was called when I found your video (yeaaaah!). It looks so much like a Gnat Hitch that is slipped but that is not correct. The other knots I found that were similar are the Slipped Buntline and the Highpoint (now one of my favorites since it is so secure). I've added your channel to my feed! Keep up the great vids.
Thanks! There are lot of knots that can be tied slipped.
can i do this as easily with slightly thicker rope? aswell i wont be jamming the carabiner inbetween rocks it will be over a wooden beam would it break with a cheaper one? holding aprox 190 lbs
What are you trying to achieve? I tied it on 11mm rope, which has a breaking strength over 2000kg. Is it for a life support system? The whole system is as weak as the weakest link. For climbing only use ropes and carabiners that are rated for climbing.
I'm using this knot for a long rope dog leash. With a 1/2 thick 15ft leash- supposedly climbing grade-, the knot was still easy to achieve with a climbing grade carbiner (3000ibs load mark). I'm not sure how strong you need the knot to be, but it was easy to achieve with my rope! :)
That must be a very big dog if you need 3000lbs rope :)
Wow the Alpine butterfly is a beautiful knot! Exactly what I needed to add an extra safety connection point to a rig. Thanks for the tip!
Yes, it's easy to tie and multi multifunctional. I use it often to set a retrievable top anchor when tree climbing. Combined with a carabiner.
🪢 *Perfectly simple example.* Thanks for showing how to tie this knot in an easy to understand and follow format. _Please keep making this excellent content._ 🙌
Thanks glad you liked it 😎
what situations is this good for?
I use it for tree climbing as part of a climbing system and also as a fall protection when working at a roof.
I tried these an the last 2 work very well on the same size rope not like the first one the rope has to he smaller.
I usually use an 8mm prusik cord on an 11mm climbing line. But the Schwabisch, klemheist and also the Blake's hitch work in general well if you use the same diameter prusik cord as the climbing line. It also depends on the material of the climbing line.
@@WoodenShoesHomestead I'm not using this knot for climbing .I'm using it on paracord cause the smaller cord is a pain to deal with on the prusik knot.
Oh, like that. Paracord is indeed a bit different. I also use the Blake's hitch with paracord, for example to tighten the lines on a tarp. The advantage with the Blake's hitch (ruclips.net/video/Md0xh7SXbU0/видео.html) is that you can tie it in the tail end of the rope, creating an adjustable loop.
Is this better than blakes hitch
Depends on the situation. The Blake's hitch is a very different knot that can be tied in the tail end of the climbing line. That's going to be difficult with the Knut.
Just wanted to say thanks - needed to tie a clasp to thin paracord for off-leash dog training. Needed a strong knot, and this looks perfect!! Found you from Google search FYI...
Thanks! Good to hear it was useful. We also have a video on how to tie a snap hook to a line strange the search didn't come up with that one for you. They work in magical ways.
What would be the best friction hitch to attach rope to chain?
I've never heard of this. I can't give you any useful advice as I personally never tried that. Hope it's not for climbing because I doubt it will work reliably due to chain being slippery and not compressable. You probably will get hung up on each link as well.
@@WoodenShoesHomesteadThanks for your response. It's to secure a boat bridle to an anchor chain.
Maybe with the normal prusik hitch (ruclips.net/video/WC9IBgA-iMw/видео.html), that's a symmetrical friction hitch ideal when loading can occur from both directions. You can add or remove wraps when needed. In my sailing days I never attached the anchor with a chain but I used a rope and an anchor hitch. That's the advantage of having no rocks on the bottom of a lake. An issue with knots and hitches is that they often start to react differently when tied in wet rope.
I like your video. For some reason, all are doing this kalmyk knot as if they are left handed. Usually, the standing end is on the left, and the working end is on the right. It really isn't essential for this knot to be the opposite to all others. It's only an option but not essential.
I tie all my knots left-handed. It sorta comes naturally 😆
How much is "enough" ?
I suppose you are referring to the tail end sticking out of the knot? I usually go with this rule of thumb. More than a fist length but less than two.
Tali warna coklat apa namanya dan diameternya berapa
It's an 8mm tendon timber prusik cord. I use it on an 11mm climbing line
Wow you’ve helped me a lot with this video 😅 thanks
It's a very basic knot. You have to start somewhere. Do you use it as a stopper knot? Then, also take a look at the figure eight knot. We have a very practical video on the channel on how you can use that knot in 4 different ways.
very good tutorial
Thanks, good to hear! The daisy chain is a great way to keep ropes that are not to long from becoming a tangled mess. Also works with extension cords. For very long climbing ropes I use different coiling.
Thanks! Your clear instructions also helped me to finally master the Kalmyk Loop which I had been having a lot of trouble tying.
Thanks a lot! We do our best to make it as clear as possible. There are several knots that can be converted to a quick release knot. Sometimes, I tie the Bowline as a quick release as well.
I use Michocanne. However the VT is by far the most popular with arborist here.
Yeah, lots of people go with the VT. I personally use the distel hitch often. Grips well but sometimes a bit difficult to advance when used in combination with a rope wrench and pulley. Also, more and more seem to move on to mechanical prusiks.
niceeee
And practical, but more difficult to tie than the anchor hitch
I started using the Blake's hitch in the mid to late 70s. I tried the older steeple climbers hitch and found it inadequate. So my improvements resulted in the Blake's, but I did more wraps than you showed. The biggest advantage of the hitch is in the long tail allowing another hitch to be tied making it self tending.
Adding more wraps is an effective way of increasing the friction. It works well on almost every hitch. How well a hitch grabs depends on a lot of factors. I have heard of the method you described where the tail is used to tie another friction hitch but never actually tried that.
Mine is the schwabich
That is a reliable hitch. Grabs well but can be a bit difficult to break. I usually combine the distel with the rope wrench. That takes a bit of the load as well
@@WoodenShoesHomestead tends to be difficult to break when the rope is wet... for some reason or other idk y. ❤ from pnw oregon
Wet weather makes everything difficult. Nice rig in your avatar 👌 yours? Trucks in North America look so much better than the cabovers here in Europe
@@WoodenShoesHomestead thnak you sir. It's a t800 kw with a c15 cat with bout 575hp straight piped. It was the truck the father-in-law started driving in. He's now in a mid 2000s pete with a cummins x15.
Good stuff love it 🤩
The Double Fisherman's knot is safest and strongest knot to tie 2 ropes together. Who agrees?
My go to friction hitch is the DISTEL hitch, easy to tie and grabs and releases very smooth. Do you agree?
Is this the best knot to use with a carabiner? I see a lot of them tied with that sort of coiled looking knot. I wanted to make a carabiner pulley set up for pulling about 200 lbs horizontally.
It is a knot that can be used. It depends on the application, type of rope and personal preference. For tree climbing, I either use the clove hitch or the anchor hitch. If it's just to hoist a heavy load, then you can use this one. After loading the carabiner can be removed which makes untying a breeze.
It would be helpful to see once the knot is tied to the line how you move the knot up the line otherwise nice clear examples on tying the knot :)
Thanks, just push it up :) it highly depends on the climbing system you are using and also on the application. You need some method to take the load off the knot to advance it. Either by standing on branches, using a foot ascender, hip thrust, etc. That topic is just to big to put in one video.
Great how to video! Very understandably!
Thank you, glad to hear!
Где используется такой узел?
It's explained in the description. To prevent a rope from fraying or just because it's looks nice. (Decoration)
😊Thanks😊
Glad you liked it and found it useful.
Awesome!
My sisters favorite knot is what I call a gravity knot. About 12 or more half hitches and the sheer weight of the knot holds it together.
If you cannot tie a knot, tie a lot.
which one is best for backing up a rapell ?
The prusik is a very reliable friction hitch for this. It is very easy to tie as well. The backup knot should be tied below your rappel device. For easy access, nothing is more frustrating than the friction hitch being just out of reach. (Been there) And for load sharing with the rappel device.
Complements 😊
Do u need a zigzag or any fancy equipment attached to it if u use a prusik
That is not necessary, but a more advanced setup will make life easier. Body thrusting up a tree with only a prusik is doable but very hard on the body. Climbing aids like a rope wrench and a foot ascender will make climbing much easier.
Very nice tutorials.
Glad you like them!
Yes, you can. There are a variety of popular tethers. Also, the video said he used a 80 cm Prussik cord. It looked considerably shorter, which is best by the way.
In the video I use an 80cm cord and I do find it a bit too long (slack). It also does depend a bit on the friction hitch that you are using. Some are taking a bit more cord to tie then others. But you are right when you say that you should try to keep it as short as possible for your setup. A longer cord just creates extra slack in your system that you need to overcome with every climbing stroke and it doesn't get you anywhere.
Useful video for beginners
Thanks a lot!
Saw another Buntline Hitch video and was confused. This was clear and simple. Well done!
Good to hear! Other videos being unclear or not to the point (watch time generating nonsense) was the main reason to start this channel.
I tried the Larks Head Knot and I love it! Thank you so much for a very helpful video! Good luck with your channel! 👍❤️
Great job, always love your videos, can't wait for the next one! 👍👏 Greetings from Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Good to hear! Thank you!
Perfect video man! New favorite hitch 🔥🔥
Great way of showcasing how to make them, but I'm missing some demonstration of the properties that each hitch.
Thanks for the feedback. We will make some separate video's on that topic in the future.
It looks like a hand grabbing the cord.
Better the rope grabbing the rope then your bare hand. You might be in for a serious rope burn 😄
Nice
Thank you! Always great to get positive feedback!
Why use this instead of a prussik?
The prusik hitch is very safe and easy to tie, but for tree climbing purposes it is a hitch that is very slow to work with. The more advanced hitches like the Knut hitch or VT hitch are much faster and also have less tendency to get stuck. Especially when using it in combination with more advanced climbing systems like a rope wrench.
@@WoodenShoesHomestead It would be interesting to talk about the pros and cons of this hitch in your video, instead of just showing how to tie it...
The purpose of this video is to demonstrate the tying of this knot. Pros and cons is not the subject of this video.
I only use the first one, I just trust it more
The standard prusik is indeed very safe and easy to tie. The disadvantage is that the prusik hitch can be difficult to advance and it sometimes doesn't release very well.
The prusik is usually very tight. I prefer the simple machard (there are variations)
Yes I have the same experience with the Prusik it can be very hard to break especially when wet. The Machard is indeed easier to advance, I also use the Distel hitch often. That one is a bit more advanced then those three easy friction hitches but it has an easier release.
Nice clear demonstration. Do both working ends have to be loaded? Equally? How is that accomplished? What problems are solved by moving to each hitch? What limitations of each? What diameter lines are compatible?
Thank you, glad you liked it! You can attach a carabiner through the spliced eyes to generated a balanced load on both strands and that will also prevent the hitch from becoming undone. If you want a hitch that works well with one strand you should look into the Blakes hitch: ruclips.net/video/Md0xh7SXbU0/видео.html The Klemheist works very well with the secured foot lock technique when climbing. Prusik cord diameter depends on the material of the Prusik cord being used. Some are more flexible then others. This can easily be tested by folding the cord and checking the loop that forms when doing so. The smaller the loop the more flexible the cord, the bigger the loop the stiffer the cord. Flexible Prusik cord grabs easier and can therefore be thicker compared to less flexible cord. In the video I use 8mm Prusik cord with an 11mm climbing line. For me that works very well. When secured foot locking on a double rope I use 11mm Prusik cord.
