Best posting of its category, in my personal experience (I'm no authority on this but I am able to recognize quality work, plus I'm a 30 year non-climbing enthusiast of knots in general). Clear, specific, calmly & confidently illustrated for each knot.

I appreciate the demeanor in which you've presented these while conveying an unquestionable competence in the specific tasks. RUclips, like the Internet in general, tends to drown out the postings of quality & worth. Diluting that previously mentioned content with others of questionable or suspect nature and excessive durations (much like the length of my comment, lol, however a thumb up & simple comment just didn't seem to do your video justice). Simply put, I truly appreciate the quality & duration of your post. Cheers
This is the kind of video I wish all my climbing friends would watch. I will spread the knowledge, thank you for making it accessible, concise, and informative.
Awesome video!! I'm trying to teach my grandchildren useful knots because they're always outdoors climbing or making things (we live in rural Alaska). Now I can just show them this video!!!
Good job on the video. Over the years as a truck driver, I have learned a knot or two. One knot that I frequently use is a trucker's knot, but with a twist. I start with a loop and put a full twist in it. Then I reach down pull through another loop from the loose end and pull down. With this knot you can pull tight against it, but when you are ready to take it apart, just simply pull it out. It comes apart much easier that the original trucker's knot. Try it out to see what you think if it.
@@innerbarkoutdoors , I believe your right. I never knew exactly what it was called. But I know that it is very handy to use, but I haven't seen anyone do a video on it.
@@clydedyson2147 The sheep shank was a more common knot and is the base for the old school truckers hitch. I think it's fallen out of favor due to it failing under certain loads with vibration or repeated loading. It is, however super easy to undo after it's been set.
@@innerbarkoutdoors , that I can believe. I've use this kind of knot for years. I guess it like that old saying goes, to each their own. Thanks for the input. Have a good day.
I know it's been a year. The version Clyde is describing is not the sheep shank variant, but a slipped loop made by pulling a bight through a figure of nine knot. It comes undone nicely, but the working end has to be fed through the loop. The sheep shank version captures the working end saving some time. Which way is better? There are religious wars being fought over less, if it works for you that's all that matters.
Great vid ive been doin trees long time only know bowline an 8 butterfly have done but forgot. That said im not climbing ground. But wish when did climb abit knowing these thanx.
great vids...what sets this apart from the others is you show the orientation and positions of the rope clearly which makes it easy to follow. Question is, how long is the rope you use for the prusik cord?
This one was about 5 feet long. If you purchase a good length of accessory cord and make slings of different length, you should be able to tackle just about anything.
Please show us the best way to tie the ends of your rappel rope together when you are on a big wall rappel so you don't get carried away having too much fun and go sailing. Also what is a good distance from the ends. Thanks.
what midline knot would you recommend for securing a rope to a tree trunk? I need it to have the following characteristics: 1) very secure (wont slide up or down or rotate around the trunk) 2) very easy and quick to undo with just one pull if needed 3) once untied, given there's tension on one end of the line, the rope will easily free and clear itself and not snagged to the trunk PS, what is also great about your vid is it states what the knot is commonly used for. Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!
Nothing comes to mind that fits all of that criteria but I know a few knots that arborists use to secure their climbing lines and rigging lines. There are some knots that used to be used but aren't considered safe anymore
clove hitch and the prusik are the best knots for their respective uses, but for tying in I would always use the double bowline, kind of the Standard knot over here in Germany once you go from being a beginner to actually having a bit of experience, and defenately when you start working routes its a knot you should know, also for Winter or alpine climbing as you can undo this knot with gloves or cold hands.
I think this is run of the mill 10mm static climbing rope. I'd have to cut it to find out the brand but you can find many similar ropes online or at climbing shops.
These are knots to depend on saving your life my friend. Great post fella ! Once again I have forgotten all but a few of these working knots. You do a great job of recreating them for us bud. Many thanks eh.
Hi, I am a final student of Tourism Management. Can I take this video for reference in my ebook What is Rope Course? Your cooperation is much appreciated.
triple fisherman's knot for going in direct. Prusik for self rescue during any time, and for lead climbers. Munter for when you are repelling or rescuing.
Idk man... i dont think thats a “Butterfly loop”... idk my dirty mind just wont allow me to look at that with a straight face lol. Anyhow, a great video. Thank you
The only parts of the video I fast forward are repetitive parts that I’ve already taught you how to do and if I didn’t then the video would be twice as long. By the time the parts that are fast forward, you should be knowledgeable of how to do that part… And if you aren’t then just rewind or manually slow the video down.
You screwed up on that first knot with the safety knot. when tying a safety knot you need to make sure that the knot touches the other knot. It's a fairly common mistake we see but you want that double fisherman's or stopper knot to actually touch the figure 8 and then you'll want some tail coming out of that knot if you were to do it like that in a guides course you'd probably fail or at least they'd make you do it again
The safety doesn't mean that the knot itself is safer. It is already safe enough. If you have too much access rope, it prevents you from clipping the wrong end of the rope into the quickdraw by accident.
@@innerbarkoutdoors In the Netherlands we have a standard that says the tail has to be at least 10 times the diameter of the rope. In reality two fists is more than enough. If you leave that amount of tail, it is never gonna slip through.
Well a very nice presentation... however.. I can tell this person is not a very experienced climber.. As a guide and instructor of a climbing and mountaineering guides training program I see many common mistakes. examples would be no climbers use the Flemish bend anymore no climbers use a triple fisherman's we only use a double any fisherman's knot in climbing needs longer tails that presented here an alpine buttery is not a normal knot to incorporate into an anchor most do not tie a "safety knot" above a figure 8 fallow through anymore. Doing so is very old school and has been show to have many negative side effects the comment that a water knot can come undone is off as a water knot is one of the few knots that is extremely hard to get undone (especially after loading it with weight) I would suggest taking a course from a proper climbing instructor to learn the current and up to date techniques that are currently employed by trained professionals.

The more you know!
Best knot demos online thank you 😊
Thanks David!

Hey how do i make a bigger knot ?
Appreciate this dude 🤙
Thanks! Use it in good health- AT
Exactly brilliant....
Thanks Lee, check out the other vids we got up!
After watch this video I'm able te fixe rope . Thank u so much for such a great video ❤️🇵🇰

Excelent man!!! Really usefull instructions!!!
Does the prusic knot can be used on bars or solid things instead of a rope???
Ropes have a lot of friction which makes it work. Your mileage may vary, but I wouldn't risk life or limb with it not on a rope/line.
Check out The Gripping Sailors Hitch for solid smooth objects. You can also lay a small strip of rubber under the knot to increase friction.
I wouldn't recommend it
Just outta curiously what where u trying to do a different Knott or system might work depending
Awesome This is definitely going to prepare me for the firefighter academy thanks
Sweet! Lot of these were in the SAR refresher
Thanks, A great tutorial of useful knots.
Glad you found it that way :)
Tanks tutorial...👍👍
Thank you
muy bien explicado
*thumbs up*
Nice one thank u
*thumbs up*
Thank you!
You're welcome!
how is the purpose of the fishermans and figure 8 bends different? can you use only one and still be safe?
Fisherman's is better for smaller diameter cordage, figure 8 bends are easier to take apart

there’s a easier way than that as well but that’s if you use a carabiner

3:43 pretty sure that’s not correctly tied butterfly knot
It is
Thinks hes captain tyin' knots
"Not my chair not my problem," that's what I always say.
*thumbs up*
Climbing knots honestly scare me because it seems like every other one is like oh if it backwards you die
You most certainly have to be careful with these knots, that's why practice makes perfect!
Am I the only one who still had to watch it at 3/4 speed? Music is pretty cool that way though
haha, someone who doesn't complain about slowing it down!
Idk man... i dont think thats a “Butterfly loop”... idk my dirty mind just wont allow me to look at that with a straight face lol. Anyhow, a great video. Thank you

why a triple fishermans knot? Double works just fine.
More cushion

Good video but the butterfly can be done much easier than you show.

This guy whistles at 's' sound
That I do
I love how it speeds up when ur trying to teach how to tie a knot
It only speeds up when I have already told you what to do and it is monotonous, or when I am tightening up the knot...
Running bowline

1:20 A safety not doesn't add ANY safety to a correctly rethreaded figure of 8.
You ever see a tail shrink on a figure 8?
@@innerbarkoutdoors In the Netherlands we have a standard that says the tail has to be at least 10 times the diameter of the rope. In reality two fists is more than enough. If you leave that amount of tail, it is never gonna slip through.
Why would you speed it up 🙄
So it’s not 10min long. I only speed up when it’s repetitive or I’m tightening it up. U can also change the speed :)
Well a very nice presentation... however.. I can tell this person is not a very experienced climber.. As a guide and instructor of a climbing and mountaineering guides training program I see many common mistakes. examples would be
no climbers use the Flemish bend anymore
no climbers use a triple fisherman's we only use a double
any fisherman's knot in climbing needs longer tails that presented here
an alpine buttery is not a normal knot to incorporate into an anchor
most do not tie a "safety knot" above a figure 8 fallow through anymore. Doing so is very old school and has been show to have many negative side effects
