RUclips really needs the add the option to add these Shorts to playlists
100% .. I'll do some short type videos on each knot so they can be added.
I text myself the link.
@@Angikel thank you 👍
@@Angikel thanks dude
I hate going through liked videos just to then add them to my playlists. They really need a playlist button on shorts.
man, i really do wish I wasn’t going to forget this within two hours because this knot would be so useful when it’s needed
Hey mate, reminder to watch this again and practice it.
Another reminder, practice the taut-line hitch.
@Blaine Burgess
Another reminder if you didn't get notifications about replies
Please don’t stop with these reminders, it’s wholesome enough that i’m actually gonna end up remembering the knot, and on top of that every time I use the knot it will forever be tied to one of the few moments people actually tried to help me while online. I thank and cherish you all.
@@blaineburgess aww that's great man.
Well an extra tip then, leave enough extra rope and you can put a loop/bight through the last bit to allow for a quick release system after heavy loads have been put on it.
Seen it before, but your simple explanation and repetition etched it into my mind. Thank you
Thanks Pedro! That's all I'm aiming at with my channel. much appreciated my friend!
2 inside the knot,,,,,
1 outside the knot, and tighten...
It became a song in my head to never forget over the years..
Wow ! Thank you !
Simple and easy to remember.
Very informative thanks fam
Now this is a noteworthy "short".
And knotworthy as well!
@@MonkeyJedi99 possibly spongeworthy
Yes, most of the shorts are too short
Finally something useful gets recommended
In sailing, it's called a "rolling hitch".
Helpful to take a load off of a fowled line.🤙🏼
I was taught to do the rolling hitch a bit differently... the wraps go higher and higher, not downwards. And on nylon or other slippery rope, I'd do many wraps.
In sailing, we do a better version. I was taught to do this rolling hitch a bit differently... the wraps go higher and higher, not downwards. And on nylon or other slippery rope, I'd do many wraps. Then you can use this hitch for huge loads, not just your rainfly.
rolling hitch (edit: awning hitch) has to cross over itself so that you can finish tying it under load, whereas the knot in the video is nearly impossible to tie under load. it's kind of the worst version of this kind of knot, I wish the Scouts program that has pushed tautline for decades would have used mid-shipman's hitch which is the knot people are referring to above where you go higher and higher. And the early scout books used to teach mid-shipman's but called it tautline, before being revised at some point.
Sailors invented most of it.
It's Taut-line hitch
ABOK #1856
Wish every short was like this. 15 second video and I leave having learned something that will serve me forever
Wow thank you for saying this!!!
The education system should learn how to teach kids using this type of interaction.
I 100% agree!
I 100% agree as well, they should have things like this thought by the schools, and the kids would have to show they have taken it in, not everyone will be a winner, but I know this would have given me better knowledge than learning about 2/3 poems in English, that I have never heard of seen or read again.! I’ve learnt a lot more since leaving school I think. Is that knot also known as a blood or half blood knot xx
With para-cord instead of 2 initial wraps use 3 then finish with the 1. It prevents slippage but still is adjustable.
I have to use this often when tieing with paracord
Used to work as an arborist and we called this knot the “suicide knot” because if somebody forgot to tie a knot in the tail it could slip through and send you falling. Used it almost everyday
That's why you tie a backup after the Blake's hitch then it can't suck back through.
The prusik hitch and the Blake’s are better options
This is not a knot for high loads and you ALWAYS backup your knots when there's potential for harm. Former ropes course instructor and yeah prusik is a more trusty tension hitch in critical situations. I use the taught line for my tent stakes and laundry line LOL
The figure 8 stopper knot is crucial
We called it a speed knot for the same reason. Doubling it on the top and bottom would over tighten at times. But yep, dangerous nonetheless, especially when using it climbing.
I used to know all these knots when I was in sea cadets. That was 30 years ago, so I forgot.
Thanks for reminding me!
Also called the rolling hitch. One of the most useful knots i know, use it all the time like magic. But your final loop should go over the T line and wrapped in the opposite direction this keeps the double loop for the friction not in the right line for pressure. The way your trying it will cause it to loosen under vibration like high winds or while highway driving, like I said I've used this knot alot, including tying it incorrectly there for a bit.
That is how I tie it.
Gary this is why i love youtube..... old guys know a thing or two
I've tied it both ways but the way tied in the video is technically correct for what is called the taught line hitch and i have used it to hold my slack line tightly when securing my kayaks to the roof of my car and it doesn't loosen when going down the road, that being said it's not the best knot for holding loads. You can also give it additional half hitches at the end to make the knot more secure, the adjustable grip hitch is more secure as well but tying the taught line hitch with the last half hitch in the opposite direction is admittedly very similar to the prusik with one less wrap so it stands to reason it would also be a secure knot. However if you want a secure knot for loads the best is definitely the truckers hitch.
Your way is how i was taught this knot in the merchant navy . Doing it as you describe locks the knot better
This isn’t a rolling hitch.
I wish I could save this in a knots playlist! Would be super handy!
History > Add to playlist > yw.
you can I did
This is my favorite knot. This and a self locking truckers hitch.
Awesome! I'll do a vid on the Truckers hitch too, what are your fav applications for it?
As an eagle scout, I approve. Most useful knot for a line that needs to be adjusted easily.
I'm an Eagle Scout too, learned it once and never forgot it. An easy way to remember I always say is, Two-in One-out.
Your whole channel is giving me nostalgia from growing up with my Gpa in South Carolina! Please keep up the awesome work my friend!. This is stuff everyone should know just incase!
I'm an eagle scouts and a professional boy scout so to speak. The taughtline hitch is by far the most useful knot I know. It is my go-to knot for anything. I've towed a car out of a ditch with it and an old climbing rope. I have never had one come untied so long as I left at least a half inch of tail.
ty
My taut line knots slip on thicker rope. Watching this video I noticed I'm crossing that last loop wrong.
Glad it worked for you, but it's a fucking terrible choice for a tow
@@joestevenson5568 I know, and believe me it wasn't the weight bearing portion, just what I used to tie everything off and make all the lines taught. i was using a 50' piece of 1100 cord wrapped between my truck and a car like five or six times. And then I tied all the strands together with one taught line. Had to cut the knot apart and a few strands snapped but I got the car unstuck.
How do you tie the taut line
You can also make it a quick release, by including a bight at the end.
Yo friction hitch
It shordens that rope and tidens that knot.
wow, my clove hitch can now have a brother ☺️
Absolutely crucial to know! The best and most used knot 🔥👌 Thanks for sharing 🤠👋
Best demonstration of this knot available anywhere.
Can't argue with that. Demonstrating it twice and using a different color each time makes it easier to understand and remember. Smart guy! 👍
Thank you both so much! Glad it helped!
@The Bear Essentials
I needed this today in an emergency. I'm so glad I found your channel
Thank you very much! I was trying to remember that just today.
"2 wraps on the in. Then 1 on the out, tighten it up, your line will be stout"
This is good knot. A little knowledge go's a long way.
Niceee. Thank you for sharing.
You’re very welcome, thanks for commenting!
id go camping with you
What a great piece of knowledge! Thank you for sharing… I know this information will come in handy someday❤❤
Knots are a lost art
only to ppl who don’t use them… Im a sailor. Knots are pretty common to me.

If you liked this vid, I have a VERY in depth and EASY Knot video with the BEST 10 knots: ruclips.net/video/5lLPAHK_k6I/видео.html
Thank you for this. It made me cry. I have a canvas pup tent that my dad gave me 51 years ago and it has a wooden dowel with a hole in it on the guy rope that serves the same purpose. I keep it around because it reminds me of him and all the things he taught me over the years. He died at 53 and I miss him every day.
@@ronjones-6977 LP
I use that knot for aprons. Only failed me once, whereas the bowtie failed 80%.
How can a man not subscribe to this channel.
Thanks brother!!
Because it's awful? Lol
WOW!!😱 AMAZING EXPLINATION👏👍👍
THAT FRICTION KNOT HAS MY BRAIN TIGHTEN
IN KNOTS...😅😂 TXS FOR GREAT VLOG!🥰💕
Johanna,Sweden.
Love it, learned to tie this behind my back in Boy Scouts and now I use it all the time. From setting up a tent to securing cargo in the bed of my truck this is my most used knot
💯
Very secure...as long as it stays taunt.
This is correct that knot is great for everything from tiring up trams to making belts of slings or wrapping up your sleeping bag tight
Your camera angle combined with your direction is beyond perfection.
You are a fantastic teacher !
Great video !
The higher they climb, the further they fall analogy? Yes. Pretty simple really. Nobody likes a tyrant. But a charismatic tyrant. That’s different
Absolutely the best knot to know
Why do you knot want to know?
@@dominicjose3660 it's just knot my cup of tea
You guys!!
You don't know how many knots are going into my hair tonight. Woo hoo!
I'm starting right....... NOW! ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
“Wow what a amazing knot!”
**hangs myself**
No, that knot's a little different...
That knot has way more loops
I've done similar, but with a couple of cross and go under loops before the final locking loop. Not sure if unnecessary or worse or better, but it held the tent canvas in shape, so it worked.
👍🏽 yup. Thank you bro. Helping a dude who’s gonna be spiking out for work for this fire season.
That’s awesome!! Hope it’s a good one my man
i've learned so many knots but i forget them all but always remember the dummy knot. lol this one will be easier
Where could I buy these nice ropes your using for practice or other purposes like camping? Thanks!
Learned to do this in scouts, we were encouraged to learn them one handed
I think knot…
Ok ok give me a break. I couldn’t come up with anything else.
I wonder if this would work for lengthening a hammock string/rope 🤔
As a ScoutMaster, I find there is such a mental block on the scouts part to this knot.
I realized recently, its simply a version of the clovehitch, which they all seem to learn without issue, and is a progression from a simple half hitch.
It goes from Half Hitch to Two Half Hitches, to Clove Hitch, to Rolling Hitch, finally to Taut Line Hitch. Its a Clove Hitch, but an Extra Turn is done before you Cross Over.
Ahh the progression definitely helps understanding
Was "the Bear Necessities" already taken, copyrighted by Disney, or both?
Those simple bear necessities. Always helped forget about your worries.... you get the idea. Cartoon mascot that ISNT Baloo. Or at least different enough from the Disney property to be safe from litigation, but still sweep up that sweet, sweet recognition.
Oh man bear necessities is so nostalgic for me!!!
Essentials was close enough and I want to share all the camping essentials with people. So it makes sense. Your so right with the subtle recognition
I've been using the taut line hitch since I was a boy scout. I'm 65 now.
I dropped a massive log in my undies
I just want to say, since I watched the first video with the 2x the tension trucker's hitch knot, I have been watching every single one and have learned so, so much. I appreciate all your videos and your willingness to teach others basic survival/camping tactics. Thank you.
How tf did RUclips know I needed this knot. I'm alone, I've said nothing about it to anyone. Nothing I've bought or searched for could've lead to this but I've been trying to figure it out all day. Again not a word
Whoa!! No way. That’s actually nuts lol
I still feel the Bolin takes the prize for most used loop. It's better at load.
But the taut-line and the half hitch both have there places.
An old boy scout/farmer here. I use these every day.
Thanks Brian! Yeah the Bolin is one of the best all round I think!
Been around for years, learned it in Boy Scouts 60 years ago.
*I really like AND enjoy this content. Thanks.*
My favorite and still most used knot. I don't even do Scouts or camping anymore and I still use this one for temp lines, clothes lines, etc. Once used it to strap a 17ft canoe to the roof of the ole 'burban and drove 11 hours with no slack when we got where we were goin'!
There is so much absolute shite on Shorts so it's refreshing to finally get something nice, well-made and actually useful to know.
Oh wow, thank you so much!!!
I just redid a bunch of knots in my house based on this random short. Thank you sir
Sweet! Glad it helped!
This knot is the solution I've been looking for... :)
I practiced this knot many times until i memorized it after I first watched this video. I carry a bit of parachord on me at all times and just yesterday had a real need to use it. Used this knot to hold a spring force closing gate open while making a grocery delivery to an apartment complex. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing! That's great.
Yep. Been using that knot for 25 years now.
Why do you change the way the second half hitch spirals around the standing part on the outside of the loop? Doing this provides less friction, and it's not the way to tie a taut-line hitch (a rolling hitch applied around the standing part). With so many comments, I'm surprised that none I've read seem to catch this. Click here to view a clear explanation: ruclips.net/video/H4rbBHp1QXo/видео.html
This and the bowline are my two go to when camping.
This is by far the best tutorial for this knot
I've used this knot for a few years and it has to be my favorite knot as I really like my tarp to be tight to stop flapping or water build up. Makes the process so much quicker
Thank u so much!!! Very helpful
Got it from your video easy. Thanks.
how do I use those tiny msr groundhog stakes? I'm used to using those reg silver kinds
You have to put them in on a 45 degree angle with the bottom toward your tent and top away from it.
Only the head will be above ground and there is a small hook that you can bight your line on.
Hope that helps!
I don't do camping, but I subscribed because of this knot knowledge..😊
Surely I can remember this knot 🤔
With two decades of using this knot almost exclusively, I can definitely vouch for how handy it is! I never knew the name, but it’s the only knot I remembered from scouts, and it’s been my go-to knot for pretty much everything ever since.
thank you.👍👍
I was taught this as a kid (my Dad) and relearned fresh out of college. I don't remember exactly how my Dad did it because he showed me only once, after that I only saw him play with line and lure and it was done like the one-time explanation was all I needed to last me a lifetime. My friend taught it with 5 to 7 wraps before the final splice and called it a fisherman's knot. To this day, I don't know who was less competent or who had the least amount of teaching skill, or the misinformation taught to them. Thank you for your clarification and now I must run- try it and play with it 50 times so it is engraved in my mind. It's amazing how the disinformation gets passed along, I already forgot the name of the knot...
I love knots, and I use them with alot of my hanging wood crafts I made for around the house. I'm always looking for new knots to use to make something look even better. I use either 3 twined thin rope, or the big heavy ropes. I've just learned how to make a "Tweenie knot". Makes a big ball, if you use thick rope. Okay, so it's not for camping, but it's a pretty freakin cool knot. LOL!
I usually do this the other way. One below two above. Either way, this is *The* official Tarpologist’s Knot.
You can put your tarp up all
By yourself. Tie all four loose, tarp on ground, come back and tighten to taste and ideal shape.
Sailors have always called this a rolling hitch. It is at it's strongest if the taut line is a slightly larger diameter.
Nice! Isn’t a rolling hitch attached to a separate rope? Or just a diff name for this one ?
@@TheBearEssentials I've always used it both ways. I didn't know there was a separate name. I noticed that there are often different names for the same knot, used by different trades
Thanks that’s one I will remember
This right here is what RUclips and now shorts are truly made for. Not the flapping around 14 year olds. This is valuable knowledge.
Wow! a short that is worth watching. Nice
Unless you live in Wyoming... And the 60mph winds f*** up wherever you put the knot. Lucky if it doesn't take your entire tent and send it to the next county
Why did I read "end of any hope" 💀
Easily one of the most useful knots to know.
I looked this shi up online and found the way it was explained across the board was so convoluted! Thank you making a simple hitch simple. 👍🏻
I’m so going to try and remember this one ☝️ thanks 🙏
My pleasure!
I been looking forever to learn this knot
One of my favourite knots!
In German it's called Topsegelschotsteg😂
I'm horrible with knots, but after 20 years of not fishing i still remembered how to tie the palomar fishing knot. The only knot for fishing line you will ever need to remember.
This easy,short, explanation of something really practical in real life it’s what got me to subscribe to your channel.
Well done sir.!
Thank you so much for this!
Better known as a rolling hitch.
If you loop the line of the last wrap back out and lock a piece of stick through that loop instead of tying it down like shown, you'll have a much easier time releasing the knot later.
Excuse me . . . That . . Is . . A . ."Stopper Hitch". . . I've used since '79', U.S.C.G..LT Ret . . . 'otherwise' known as A "friction hitch"! Because of . . . what it does! There are also . . reverse. . .stopper Hitche's. . . .just saying . . . . . Hugs!!
Great Knot....In my country we call that a 'Bam-Slapper'.... If you combine it with a simple clove hitch it becomes a 'Left handed Bam-Slapper'. PEACE....Stay Safe ✌️
BEST BEST BEST INSTRUCTIONS, I just couldn't get it watching others, you made it SIMPLE for sure ❤❤❤💯💯💯
I always found a pair of double overhand knots did that function 1000 times better..... Or, ya know.... Like a trio of regular overhands....
This knot will make your life so much easier, definitely grab some rope and learn how to tie this knot. Very easy to learn as well
WRONG! The final crossover goes over the two loops just like you did, BUT when you wrap it OVER AND around the other side the end of your rope is to be exiting out the SAME direction your other end is going in. So both "ends" are side by side STRENGTHENING the knot. Yours goes into the knot one direction and exits on the opposite side. This is incorrect. ...And BTW, this is called a, "Taught Line Hitch". EDIT: Coincidentally, almost every video on RUclips ALSO ties it incorrectly.
Why is this one never shown? 👆👆👆
