  • Aside from tying shoes, a lot of people don't know, or need a refresher on tying knots. Knowing these knots will get you through most situations you will encounter, and they are the ones I use most often.
    The knots covered in this video are:
    Square Knot (Reef Knot)
    Clove Hitch (Builder's Hitch, Tied in a bight, and at an end)
    Sheet Bend (And Double Sheet Bend)
    Bowline (Tied two ways)
    Figure 8 loop (Tied 3 ways)
    Round Turn + Two 1/2 Hitches
    Taut-Line Hitch

    I was a boy scout and learning to tie knots was one of those things I still remember fairly well!! My grand daughter (age 12 at the time) would play with my neighbors grand daughter (again too she was 12 years old also) and I was telling the two girls that in boy scouts we learned how to tie knots!! The neighbors gand daughter is kind of a smart ass, and she told me "You couldn't tie me up to that telephone pole over there (in front of her grand parents house) and for about any hour told me "You don't know how to tie knots!" being a little turd about it!! Keep in mind too that I KNOW her grandparents well, I have lived across the street from them for about 16 years now and we are (socially) the type of neighborhood where we all talk and hang out together......so they know me as well as I know them!!
    Long story short though after about two hours of her "daring me" to tie her to the telephone pole I finally told her "come here" and I knocked on her grandparents door, I informed her grandfather of WHAT I was doing and why and he looked at her and smiled and said "She's been a handful all day!"!!!! I tied the child to the telephone pole and walked away!! Twenty minutes later her grandfather comes out looks at her and says "Have you had enough yet?" as she struggled to break free!! And final after about a half hour I walked back across the street and untied her setting her free!!
    Who knew that it wouldn't end there!! You see after all this now almost ten years later the same kid comes to my house while visiting her grand parents, like usual to visit with my grand daughter when they are both around!! BUT a few times she has come to my home as I am sitting outside just to talk to me and last summer out of the blue she asked me "What knot or knots did you use to tie me to the telephone pole that one time?" and she then tells me she wants to tie up her little sister......who as you can guess is now a 12 year old pest that won't just "drop things" when you tell her "NO"!!! LMAO!!

    This is a good list. These are all knots I used on repeat when I was in the military and now on the farm and in everyday life. (And when hiking, camping, boating, etc.)
    I'm always surprised at how so many folks just don't even know the reef knot.
    I suppose I would add one of the fishing knots as well, perhaps.
    And then there are a lot of refinements, in particular how to cleanly stow the loose end, how to make most knots super secure but easily undone, and applications combining these knots, but all that comes with experience.

      I think he means sailing, with a motorboat pretty much all you need is the double hitch for moring. Camping though then the rest comes into play, that last one is aresome so you don't have to retie all your lines all the time because the lines or the fabric streches over time.

    Believe it or knot(lol), my cub scout leader was married to a Marine. One night while at a camping sleep out, He taught our group these knots and a few more. When I was in Basic training (I had been studying magic for more than 10 years.) One of our instructors (T.I's) was teaching us how to tie knots. At one point I was instructed to tie the slip knot as trained. After tying the rope I proceeded to slip the knot up and down the rope. At the end of my smart ass demonstration, I slipped it off the end of the rope and tossed it to our instructor, asking if It looked right to him. "Surprisingly" he really cracked up... The only time I ever saw the T.I. show his human side. I loved basic training after that event:-) Found out later he served in the Navy before enlisting in the Air Force. What a guy! :-) -keith

  • @mahtoosacks
    @mahtoosacks 8 лет назад +21

    Great video demonstration of very useful knots.
    I worked on offshore tugboats, and knots are essential for properly securing lines. Only rope on a boat is attached to the horn, everything else is line.
    By far, on iron workboats, most important is the bowline, and the clove hitch.
    It's essential to know at least 3 or 4 ways to tie a bowline quickly! The way demonstrated is by far the slowest way. You would only use that way for large line of 3" and up, when you don't have time to splice an eye. Another important thing is that the bowline DOES NOT BIND. Only under the highest stresses does one bind, and the line itself must have been put under so much strain that it literally fuses together. Extreme care must be taken when first learning, so that you do not accidentally make a slipknot. You're life could literally be on the line, and it could kill you or someone else if you screw this up. The most extreme case being with: 1. a french bowline (a double loop bowline) used to rescue someone overboard, and 2. the inability to remove the line from what it is tied to, resulting in the inability to allow the vessel to escape a hazard safely. Learn and practice, practice, practice.
    Sheet bend is great, quick way to secure a heaving line to a larger line. It is deceptively simple. For very small line(3/8") attaching to very large (4" and up), or pulling long distances (like up the side of a tanker) do everyone a favor and just tie the double sheet. For the love of all that is good, DO NOT TIE AN OVERHAND KNOT. you might get something heavy and metal thrown at you. Note: wear a hard hat :)
    The clove hitch is a good one, too. This is great for tying a fender off a hand rail, or securing anything temporarily. Key word temporary. It can be worked loose. Never trust your life to a clove hitch. Also, this is not to be used for side-loading. It will pull apart.
    Round turn and 2 half hitch. By far the strongest knot there is! A very important thing to realize is that, by tying ANY "knot" (quotations because some knots aren't knots at all, but are actually called binds), the strength of the line is reduced at the knot. Some knots reduce the line's strength by as much as 50%; another reason overhand knots are the worst ever. The round turn and 2 half hitch it the only one that does not reduce the line's strength at all. It can be side-loaded, as well. I would always throw a reverse half hitch to "lock off", and prevent any possibility to it pulling out. You can trust this knot.
    Never really use a figure 8 loop knot, always just went with the regular single overhand variety. you can use this knot as a sort of pulley, to increase the strain on a line. Great for securely tying something down, because you can get it tight tight, especially when used with 2 of these loops. First tie a secure knot using a bowline or round2hh (not a overhand... we seeing a pattern, yet?) then tie a loop somewhere in the middle, then go around something considered strong, then pass the line through the loop and pull down as tight as you need it. secure with 2 half hitches.
    I guess I passed the sissy test :)

    Excellent production (as mentioned by others), and good choice of knots. A couple of suggestions: 1. Clove hitch - on a smooth object and subject to cyclic loading (eg a boat tied to mooring or tent fly) can work itself loose. A remedy is to tie-off the free end with a half hitch to the standing part. Alternatively use round turn and 2 half hitches where cyclic loads. 2. Taut-line hitch - you use high quality rope and this works fine. For lesser quality rope (& even for high quality), a slight variation of taking the second loop over the top of the first (instead of just around the rope) allows the knot to bind better, and gets the final closing half hitch closer and tighter

      @juan gonzalez You forgot the first and most important Round turn and two half hitches, there is a very important reason why this is the first hitch learnt by riggers.
      Clove hitch will hold a load but cannot "pay out" until the load is released, which is where the round turn and two half hitches is far better suited as it can be released easily under load. Clove hitch should (nearly) always have a half hitch tied to the load line or at the very least be tied with a long tail.

    several of these knots can be manipulated to form a "slip knot". sometimes this happens automatically if you start applying force without the knot being fully tight. this is why i like the figure 8 knot. no matter how it is manipulated, it wont slip.

    • @halted_code
      @halted_code 4 года назад +6

      knots have a logic to them and with practice or some thought you can formulate knots to do anything you want, the best way to develop a knot is to build a knot for functionality and then stripping down the knot do what is really necessary , binding knots can easily be turned into slip knots, and basically binding knots are just hitches that hitch to a line. I would push people to learn why knots work the way they do rather than just learn knots. It is also important to understand how line works under tension, and how pulleys work with lines in a system. Learning how block and tackles work and how to construct one could be invaluable, and knowing how to string line for strength can help avoid accidents.

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING A GREAT TUTORIAL ON ESSENTIAL KNOTS !!!
    I'm a knot-nut myself. My Grandfather always carried a little piece of rope to use as a "fidget". He was a retired Merchant Marine in the Spanish-American War. He knew his knots. He taught me the BOWLINE before I was out of diapers! and a bunch of others before he passed.
    I love to learn new knots and/or new uses and combos of them. Your feed came up first so I watched it. It was professionally taught! Thank You. Go visit Corporal's Corner, and play his video about the BOWLINE. He teaches a bunch of ways to tie the bowline, including the rescue one-handed (around yourself).

    The clove hitch really helped me out with putting up a clothesline in my backyard. I've never done it before, but I still felt like an idiot when I couldn't tie the rope properly. I ended up duct taping the rope to the poles, but that won't be necessary anymore. 😅

  • @sploshta6611
    @sploshta6611 3 года назад +11

    I am a scout here (as you will see from some of my vids) and number seven is also known as a Magnus hitch and I would strongly suggest not using it as it has a tent to slip really easily. Alternatively you can use what it called a rolling hitch that is almost the exact same however when you pass the end through the second time you cross it over the top of the first one. Thus giving the rope a dog leg when under tension and not slipping. I’m sure that there are plenty of videos on RUclips to demonstrate this in greater depth. But don’t use a Magnus hitch.

    • @sploshta6611
      @sploshta6611 Год назад +1

      @@floridapopulist yes the rolling hitch is adjustable very easily. But the Magnus hitch does not hold very well under strong loads. For example if your are caught in a storm or high winds a Magnus hitch will slip instantly whereas a rolling hitch will not slip due to the crossover creating a dogleg.
