Great video Brother, also what i learning in Fire 1-2 is to ALWAYS tie a simple knot at the end of every knot form to secure yourself as for a precaution it's a NFPA Training Technique mainly if you want to pass that coarse
@@FirefighterAmbitions The best part is you showed the shortcuts to making the knots easier. I watched this video and was able to do the bowline, clover, and figure 8. You were easy and straight to the point. Thanks man!!!
@@FirefighterAmbitions I'm getting there. It was one of the first classes I had when I started my firefighter training way back in 2006. Trying to teach them to my daughter while learning from the video myself is making it easier to remember.
@@codylayton3379 Absolutely. Teaching it definitely makes it easier to master. But right on my man. Keep up the strong work. You and the family take care out there 😊
You did a really good job keeping everything clear and concise. Ropes and knots can be a confusing subject, but your instruction and your filming technique... On point. Thanks for the video. I'll be sharing this with my recruit class
Hey Daniel, Thanks for reaching out. I really appreciate your kind words brother. Sorry about the delayed response. I've been working on a couple projects that have turned out to be great. I will be releasing more firefighter training videos this week. More specifically fire academy skills videos. As soon as they publish i'll reach out and let you know. Quick question are you teaching a recruit class or you currently going through a fire academy?
Hey Daniel, We've just posted some firefighter skills videos: ruclips.net/p/PLWBIeHvJZjFXxZTDefwuYe83VSHc70_M2 Check them out when you get a chance. Please like, share, and comment letting us know what you think. I hope all is well Take care
I really appreciate you taking the time to reach out and say that. I'm glad you've found it valuable. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours. 💪
@@FirefighterAmbitions thanks man. Just finished my state fire marshal skills test. Killed it on all of them. Thanks again man. You made this journey so much easier!!! God bless brother!!!
That's a cop cop I'm impressed with that girl she has more balls then all the other man standing around not stepping in to what could have been a bad day for that cop for loosing his mind. Good for her she deserves respect.
Something seems wrong with the description of the Snap Bowline technique: You say you take the standing end and go through the hole with it - my understanding is that the end becomes the working end once you start putting it through any loops you created. Makes more sense, when you create the first loops in the bight and then put the working end trough...
Thank you for the video! Please redo the video without the background music. It is incredibly annoying and gets in the way of your presentation. I have recently needed a good knot for a critical project and since then have become obsessed with learning useful knots.
Hey I'm a volunteer in Greece. We saw a knot in training for securing the top of a ladder to a balcony rail. Any idea what it might have been or a suitable knot for the purpose? We only saw it briefly since many team members carry a Rhinoevac (webbing with carabiner attached).
You have to check in with your departments SOP's in that regard. But you should be able to use several knots to secure your ladders to a balcony rail. we've hoisted heavy working loads to balcony rails using a simple clove hitch knot and had no issues. keep me posted on what you find out
@@FirefighterAmbitions I’ve been enjoying these video. As a former FF/Medic rejoining the ranks after a 9 year hiatus, these are great videos to get me back up to speed. Well thought out and executed.
Excellent video, I tie the bowline the same way, (1st method you show). The terminology for ropes and knots has changed over time. I used to read the really old books on knots, like Ashley's Book of Knots. In the older books, what you call a 'loop' used to be called a 'turn'. Now a Turn is only called that when it is it is going around an object, like you show in your video. But in the old days a turn in the rope could be called a turn even if it was not going around a solid object. There are many other examples in changes in the names for Rope Terminology over the decades. Even Wikipedia calls the older definition of a Turn, (what many now call a 'loop') en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(knot)
Hey prioritytree, Thank you for reaching out. Sorry about the delayed response. I've been busy creating more content that i'm really excited to show all of you. I've started to make videos about skills a firefighter recruit will see in a Fire Academy. The knot videos were a small part to my Fire academy project. You've brought forward some interesting topics though. I've only known the terminology I've presented in the video. I had no clue that the terminology used to be different. Im interested to see what else has changed over the years. It's kind of a relief to know that as terminology changes, knots stay the same. Going through the fire academy and the technical rescue academy, I've seen so many different methods of tying the same knot. Im here to tell you, as I was learning everything I found it hard to learn from the different instructors due to the differences in knot tying. I literally leached onto one method that I was comfortable with and ran with it. I learned very quickly that as long as the knot is correctly done, technique/method is merely interesting. haha sorry for the side not, but you spark an interesting conversation about differences in the rope world. I still speak with fire recruits and firefighters about this topic. Some of them continue to spread themselves thin trying to master all techniques of tying the same knot. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to reach out. It really means a lot. I'll reach out when I upload the rest of the training videos this week. Please continue to stay engaged. Im excited to provide more content. Take care prioritytree =)

Sorry, but you got one wrong in your opening terminology. A bend is a knot that joins two lines....sheet bend, zeppelin bend, figure 8 bend, hunters bend, etc. Thank you for using rope and not skinny cord for demonstration. 👍 Also for the plain white background. 👍
We just went over knots in my fire1&2 class and this was super helpful! I will say though, the bowline around the waist is a lot easier than the 2 ways you showed
Snap bowline is for tying closed bowlines; however, I would not tie a snap bowline like the method shown here. Grab a bight around what you want to tie your bowline around, make an overhand loop on your standing end, grab a bight further down on your standing end and feed it through the overhand loop you just made and feed the running end through that overhand loop and cinch it. Hard to explain in text haha, there are good videos out there on snap bowline techniques that are easier and better than this one. Great video anyways for beginning FFs that will help with academy knots.
Well done, however that's not a rope at all, it's a line, but "below 5/16" the term cordage shall apply". Also, a hitch is not a knot, it's a hitch & the same can be said of a bend.
Im having my F1/2 exam next week and i have to say this video is a life saver.
Going through the academy now and was struggling heavily. This will help with my upcoming PO’s Thank you!!
Right on Christopher. Congratulations on your success thus far. Keep up the solid work my man. 💪
Thanks for doing the slow motion. No one else does this and it can be frustrating
haha Right on. I was right there with you when I started learning. I'm glad I could help.
Take care out there and good luck with your training 💪
I've got my Cert 1 Exam in a week and I'm probably at 30% ready. Banging this out for the next two days straight. Thanks buddy.
Right on. Thanks for reaching out and good luck out there 💪😊
Knots seem to be the hardest thing for me to remember in the academy this video is awesome. Thank you

Way to add value to the community. That is a great reminder. Keep crushing it out there 💪
Yes true, a safety knot is always important.
This helped me a lot, I have essentials coming up as a junior firefighter, thank you
You got it brotha
I SO needed this (especially the slow mos), thank you!!
haha I hear you on that. I was the same way when I was first learning. Keep up the good work 💪😊
I LOVE it

According to The Ashley Book of Knots (Page 13; diagrams 27 to 32) what you call a LOOP is actually a turn.
Thanks for reaching out. Never utilized that book. I'll have to check it out.

Are these any good for UK fire and rescue service? Same knots, different names perhaps?
Check with your depts protocols on that but these knots are highly utilized everywhere
How to tie a bowline around an object tho?
Snap bowline is for tying closed bowlines; however, I would not tie a snap bowline like the method shown here. Grab a bight around what you want to tie your bowline around, make an overhand loop on your standing end, grab a bight further down on your standing end and feed it through the overhand loop you just made and feed the running end through that overhand loop and cinch it.

Right on Kelvin, go for it. It is definitely a great career to be apart of. Where do you plan on testing?
What happened bud. Did you make it?
Thank you but I wish I didn’t have to listen to this music
I know M. I can't stand that I used the music. It was a lesson learned early on. Good luck out there
