Superb video with outstanding visual tutorial technique. RUclips is saturated with knot-tying videos but this creator is the gold standard of the genre. This tutorial style completely outranks most others because the creator prioritizes techniques that enhance the learning process: - Moving slowly and clearly. - Consistently keeping hands from covering the knot. - Pausing at every stage of tying the knot. - Repeating the demonstration. - Providing a simultaneous written description as the knot is being tied. - Using a flat surface of a contrasting color to the rope being used. - Remembering to also demonstrate how to UNtie the knot. Different people learn in differing ways; videos like this provide features that create tutorials which include different modes of learning to make things easier for all viewers.
Nice video. I learned a few new knots and ideas in this video. The second knot that you tied is actually not a Taught-line hitch, it is very close but you actually tied a Magnus hitch. They do the same thing but the difference is in the direction you go when you come out of inside the loop after the 2 wraps and then finish the final loop. In a Taught-line hitch, you cross over the standing end and then you do the final loop. Many people confuse this.
Uno dei più bei video sui nodi. Semplice, pulito con uno sfondo che non confonde ma anzi aiuta a capire meglio l'esecuzione dei nodi. Molto esplicativo ed istruttivo. Bravissimo! 💪👍👏
Regarding the truckers hitch: What people usually don't know and whats is not shown often here in YT is, that you can make it partially self clamping by feeding the rope through the loop a second time. When under load in tension direction, the rope will clamp itself, giving you enough time to back it up with a half hitch. When pulling against the tension direction, it comes lose again. It works with rope on rope, but it is better to use a carabiner or equal hardware clipped in the loop. Best regards from germany
this is a great video, and I learned 4 new knots I didn't know before. Thank you. That said, I have to quesiton the trucker's hitch you show here. And I notice in the demonstration it isn't snugged down tight. I think you've tied a slip knot for the loop, and if you put tension on it, that loop will close up tight and be difficult or impossible to untie. A trucker's hitch as I was taught uses a different loop that will not close up under tension. To be fair, the one I was taught does not work with slippery line, so one of the other knots might be better. I urge you to check some other trucker's hitches.. particularly on sailing websites to see a hitch that will not close up under tension. Keep up the good work.
My first job was with a moving company moving pianos, furniture, etc. both short haul and long haul. The Trucker's Hitch was the first knot they showed me. We were using sisal rope, so, not slippery, and we never tied that slip knot like in the video. If you tie a slip knot then you have two knots to untie in the rope.
How to choose the best knot GUIDE and SUMMARY of this video: The farrimond hitch is essentially a Prusik with a bite (an unclosed loop) of the rope placed in the Prusik's bite/loop and then everything is tightened. This is really interesting, It also makes more wraps around the line than other knots per movement. More loops means more friction. (2 coils/loops per wrap. Sorry for my poor terminology). The prusik is known as the most reliable or one of the most for climbing. This means that it should be similarly reliable and trustworthy . (yes, adjust the amount of loops of any of the knots as needed per application). Knots should not have more methods of tightening and/or adjusting friction than useful and definitely not any that could interfere with another as being interdependent which is most commonly true. (I mean it iș a problem when by adjusting one part of the knot another one gets changed and therefore chaos happens instead of predictable adjustments). Other than that, knots should be easy to untie and tie even with hands that are slippery and freezing cold and injured in any way. Moreover that , it is less important but also beneficial to have the knot be easily used for many purposes or modified easily into the best versions of knots for other applications. Another factor to consider is the obviousness of the knot . I mean inspect ability. But this goes along with easy to tie knots . (for example The kalmyk knot is known to be used in extreme cold conditions even with very thick gloves (which limit dexterity). It is not shown in this video because it is not an adjustable tension knot). This video shows various knots but does not show any real world tests. Mostly the knots vary by the amount of wraps and some variation. My conclusion for now is to use the farrimond hitch for light loads depending on the scenario. The trucker's hitch with autolocking variation - but as my idea which uses prusik knots instead of the standard quick release loops - for heavier loads. The jam knot is interesting that it is typically tightened laterally instead but I don't of any scenario where this would be useful. If you have any suggestions to improve this guide please send me a message here. I suspect that there may be knots more suiting these criteria and/or some criteria I did not consider.
Thanks for sharing and making it very easy & then pausing it which is a GREAT HELP as also learning some other new knot’s COOL MUSIC FROM A NOVICE PLEASE MORE OF YOUR CONTENT 🙏🏽💯👍🏽🙏🏽APPRECIATED.
Great set of knots! It's always good to see a video that makes you think about how to tie good knots. The Blake's hitch is one of my favorites because it's so secure. The "Barrel hitch" and "Exploding barrel hitch" were totally new to me. You may want to call your "Quick Release Taut-line" hitch a "Quick Release Magnus hitch", because Ashley and others use the name "Magnus hitch" to indicate a Rolling or Taut-line hitch but with the final hitch tied in the opposite direction, like in your video. The current Wikipedia page shows the Magnus hitch in this way. Anyway, keep the knot videos coming! How about one called "the difference between the Taut-line hitch and the Magnus hitch"? Most viewers could learn a lot from you!
I liked your video, it very clearly shows how to tie the knort. However, you're doing the tautline wrong. This is essentially a rolling hitch on the standing part. The third loop should go around the standing part in the same direction on the outside as the first two do on the inside.
There are 3 knots commonly called a tautline hitch. This video explains them very well: ruclips.net/video/Ks2FskttO_4/видео.html The one shown here (Magnus hitch) is my favourite in terms of the balance between smoothness of adjustment and strength once tightened.
I like the second to the last one, using a prusik tensioner assist to re-dress a fixed line. ... music in interesting too. My wife thought I was watching porn in here.
The taught line hitch was kind of off. All the wraps useually go the same direction but you seem to reverse on the last wrap. I'll have to test it out and see if it holds as well but it's definitely not the standard way of doing it, you can reference it via the Ashley book of knots, or any other tutorial that shows the correct way of tying it.
Using a self clearing set up with the marlin spike hitch makes moving on to the next process/coiling rope when done much easier. I've seen so many different ways of tying this combination of knots I don't know which is the original. Care to show us the documentation on it? When was it created, was it really a trucker that created it or was the person that created named Trucker, please educate us instead of stating what you believe. My belief is that any set up where a loop created in the same line to nearly double force on the standing in is a truckers hitch.
@@dwarfusinterruptus9314I agree, it is a system rather than specific knots. Way back when it was the wagoner's hitch, and the loop was formed using half a sheep shank. In Australia it's the Truckie's hitch and still has this.
@zoehancock thanks. Although the sheepshank version is effective and self collapsing i am still fearful of a breakdown. I like having that marlin spike loop. I'm still wondering for @CherokeeTwilight to show the info on their "true" method.
@@dwarfusinterruptus9314 I like having the marline spike loop too. Once when I had very bad flu I spent an afternoon exploring different trucker's hitches on the Internet while I lay on the sofa. Fascinating.
Don’t it just piss u off when u can’t read the instructions because the music is to loud or obnoxious 🙄. Considering there’s not any verbal instructions not sure why “muting an instructional video” is a big deal. I bet u r a blast at party’s huh!!🤔
Someone takes the time (a lot of time) to make a good video, and you're offended that you might want to take a fraction of a second out of your precious day to press the mute button? And then you took multitudes longer than that to write this comment. This video provides value, even for insufferable ingrates like you
@@jamiemichael4190 Same reason people turn down the car radio when they are trying to see things. Excess information distracts. You must be fun at parties.
Aaagh! a knot guy tying a ganny shoelace knot instead of a square shoelace knot. @1:30??? I laugh every time i see that. Old habits die hard. So many people learn tying shoes by watching someone and mirroring their movements, which is backwards, and that creates the granny knot. Just wind it clockwise instead of counterclockwise and you'll have a much more secure knot.
I love seeing knots shown by different people in different contexts and layouts, to better understand applications or orientations and such. The Farrimond Hitch in yours at 1:50 to 2:59 I had paused on to better make sense of, then wound up finding @TheBearEssentials 's Short video "This Knot Should be WAY more popular!" ruclips.net/user/shortsPuQWrjpisoM and between the two of your combined forces I think I've got it!

Taut-line.
By far my favorite is the automatic trucker hitch. I used it for any temporary line tighten need. Great video easy to follow steps.
Corporals corner does a great demo on that one
Very, very pretty knots!!! and very useful. You are a very good teacher 😃. Thank you.
Really good uses demonstrated. I see these knots but never thought of using them like that before. Great video.
Great show n tell. One of the best I’ve seen. Simple, short, but clear enough to understand. 👍👍👏

Excellent speed, I do agree you should drop the music and maybe add some info on pros/ cons for each knot. Thx
when tying the prussik at 9:00, offset the double fisherman's knot so the carabiner isn't resting on it when you're done
The first one is also known as a woodland zip tie and it's an *amazing* knot for lashing soft things to your pack!

Good teaching, thanks!
very good 👍 not easy to find out which one is the best
Fantastic video
Fantastic teacher
Thank you! 😃
Outstanding. this old dog leaned a few new ones.
Awesome video.
I love knots.
I like the Farrimond friction got hitch the most
Which one is the most locking tightening knot? But still a quick release.
Great video. I would have added the archer's knot.
Farrimond is my favourite for normal use like camping. For stronger use (load on trucks), truckers hitch.
Why not taut line hitch?
Great, helpful, video; but for a novice like myself, it would have been good to have some examples of situations where each knot would be best used.
Awesome!
Excellent!!!
Glad you like it!
Which one would you say is the strongest?
Gostei do vídeo
Well done!!!!!!
Could you show the board setup for those new to knot tying.
I improvised. It's just a board, and on top, I attached a wooden holder for kitchen paper :)
Excelent tutorial.
For the two Cow Hitches you opted to use carabiners. You already had loops at each end, so why add the carabiners?
I'd have been much more interested in which knots were best suited for which situations, than simply how to tie them.
Great info, ty

A true truckers hitch uses a directional figure eight loop.
