    These are good knots to know when you’re on the spot and don’t know which knot to use. This video shows examples on an ATV (all terrain vehicle), tree, and truck ball hitch. Thanks for watching.

      @@m.agilnajib345 as a climber, I can answer this. A bowline is what's known as a non-constricting knot. When weighted, it doesn't tighten on itself (to an unnecessary degree) and can always be untied with relative ease. A figure 8 follow through on the other hand IS a constricting knot. That's what we tie our harness to. The more weight you put on it, the harder it grabs onto itself. For these reasons, the bowline is a popular knot to make anchors with (such as around a tree).

      You need ample tinder and kindling. Leaves and pine needles can work as good kindling even if a bit damp, depending on how dry they are internally. Look for brown, obviously dead stuff. Newspaper sucks as kindling and should only be used as an igniter, it makes too much soot and ash and chokes out a nascent fire.
      Your Tinder should vary in size from about 1in in diameter down to tiny twigs, and they need to be dead, not fresh. If all you have is logs, youll need to make small strips and chunks for your kindling.
      Once you have your materials, you can arrange your fire. Height is your friend here (because heat rises, igniting materials above it, but embers fall, heating the material at the bottom). Ideally you would build a tower or a tp. Big logs can help form your foundation, but the most important thing is to mind the airflow.
      It's fine to clog it up a bit with your fire starter materials at first, but the goal is to have ample airflow into the base of the fire, and an obvious path for that air to follow as it heats, expands, and rises.
      But if it's too wet you might just be effed.

      Just keep a few feet of nice rope wherever you sit to watch videos so you can practice everytime you sit down.
      Apart from the repetition, you can take advantage of the lowered brain waves that viewing screens causes.
      They're designed this way literally for mind control and the evidence of this is blatantly obvious everywhere you look with people. If you dont believe that would happen then you mustn't know about MKUltra.
      But you can use it to your advantage in cases like this, practicing while watching something on a screen will imprint it into your subconscious.

    • @eventhisidistaken
      @eventhisidistaken 2 года назад +1

      Practice while watching the video, and then practice without watching, and then again several more times over the course of a week and you'll have it down. There are only about 7 knots you really need to know to cover almost every need; bowline, stopper knot or figure 8 knot, alpine butterfly, truckers hitch (which uses an alpine butterfly or a bowline), clove hitch, round turn (or two) with two half hitch, square knot. Incidentally, a bowline can be tied one handed with a few very simple maneuvers, and so if you are being dragged in the water holding onto a line - or in a flood and someone throws you a rope, you can hold on with one hand, use your free hand to pull the rope around your back, and then use it to tie yourself into a bowline making a rescue harness and freeing both hands to work on getting out of the situation knowing you are secure.

    • @suedenim9208
      @suedenim9208 2 года назад +2

      I see parts with superficial resemblances to a clove hitch and barrel knot, but resemblance is all I see. It's basically a double overhand on two wraps instead of one. If it's not around something a double overhand can easily invert into a barrel knot as a stopper but that inversion can't happen here. At 0:08 you can clearly see that it's not a barrel knot. This knot may be fine for basic utility work, but I wouldn't use it for anything critical, or anything that might lose tension and shake or vibrate.

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge. When I was a young man and in the boy scouts I would sit in my room and with my scout manual out I would practice tying knots. Believe it or not I still have that rope that I had back in the boy scouts when practicing. That was over 50 years ago. When I started bass fishing I join the bassmaster subscription and as you're free guest it would have a book on tying knots to attach your hook to your reel. I would practice and practice until I could do it blindfolded.
    Back in my thirties when I started rock climbing it was the same thing all over again. But this time if one of my knots would fail I could die. I would even carry a piece of climbing rope with me to work and on my lunch hour I would practice.
    I really love how simple you made it look to tie this knot. As I was watching your video I pulled out my practice rope and have already tried this out at this point for at least 20 different times.

    Braided fishing line is notoriously slick. If you had put a couple of half hitches at the end of your lathe handle knot tie, or instead of making two wraps around your hand, double the amount of wraps to four, and it will not slip. Knots for rope seldom work for very small line like fishing line and vis versa. I love this channel and you are a knot genius. Thank you for this absolutely fantastic channel.

      The question is when is it useful and when is it dangerous. If you just pull something, have a constant load on the rope it's great. If the load comes from different directions it opens around 1.5kN (about 153kg or 337 lbs) under the best circumstances of the rope. It'd be interesting to test this panic knot.

    Brent - Nice work. If you want to make it 100% Murphy proof put a stopper knot on the end. You could make it even stronger by capturing the wraps under themselves. If you need a example of what I'm talking about: a rolling hitch is stronger than a tautline hitch because the wraps are have more friction. It looks messy, but it works better for it.
    As a inventor, you think things through and do things your own way. I use time honored knots and save my thinking time for how to use them in combination. As long as you do the R&D you have the better end of the deal.

      ​@@kevinwiens4804- Okay, here's your one chance. I never said anything about taking the "lazy way", you did. Brent isn't lazy, he took the time to think it through. I never said that my way was better. I did say, "As long as you do the R&D you have the better end of the deal." I choose to use time honored knots, because I have all ready learned them, in muscle memory. That is my choice and I would think it's a good reason. Knowing knots I can tie the Panic knot without having to practice it, but I still have to think about it. When you have to do something under pressure like rigging a tent in high winds, I have, time is at a premium. So speaking only for myself, I can can implement my knots faster. I invested time into my knots. Some people collect shoes, I collect knots. Brent spent his time inventing, among other things, a knot. I don't so much invent knots, as contemplate variants. Whether or not I invent other things isn't relevant here and now. Based on my knowledge, I pointed out how he could make his knot more reliable or even stronger. I never implied that his knot was unreliable or weak, just that it could be better. When I mentioned that I chose to spend time differently than Brent, did you infer that I was passing judgement? I wasn't, only noting the difference.
      Okay on to etiquette & protocol. If I seemed to have a attitude in my first comment, then that was you assuming. I did have a attitude after your response, that was me offended. You read a lot of things between my lines that weren't there. I don't know why you viewed my comment the way you did. You might want to figure it out for yourself. I will accept your apology if it's sincere and you actually learned something here. If you just are trying to be polite, I will choose to decline.
      Okay I'm knocking the ball back to your side of the net. Brent has a new knot, I gave some options on improvement, what would you like to share? So far you haven't mentioned any other knots or techniques, only what I feel to be unwarranted and unproductive criticism. I'm serious, if you have something to contribute I would sincerely like to hear it, because this shouldn't be about you or me, it's about Brent's knot. If nothing else say how you will use it.
