Hey everyone, please keep watching and check out my most popular video next "8 Knots Everyone Should Know" ruclips.net/video/Q9ruvjEDvTg/видео.htmlsi=Z-fQDJxeXJMWNRl3 and if you're looking for a gift for the person who loves to learn about and tie knots, check out the 50 Knot Journal amzn.to/468zKJI a small book I created to help fund these videos. Thanks for watching 🙂
I have an incredibly hard time following sequential instruction which means knot tying videos lose me by the third step. This one I was actually able to follow. Looks like a very useful, practical knot to know. Thank you.
Thank you! I hope you like it. It is my first book and was a great learning process. It’s intended as more of a journal but shows how to tie a lot of good knots
Appreciate your videos. It must get tiring to post such helpful content and have every armchair expert come out of the woodwork and tell you all the reasons you're wrong. Please keep up the good work. 🙌🏼
I came here to be reminded of how to tie the woodland zip tie and the other stuff you explained was a real bonus. Lately I’ve been compiling how the knots I know build on each other to memorize them in sets the way you explained here. Helps a lot. Thank you!
The “cow/girth hitch” is one I learned in weaving as a lark’s head knot. Thank you, this is very clear. Good speed, slow enough I can follow easily, not so slow I get bored.
2:42 I just did some tests and with the cord I'm using the basic knot has more friction than the one with the double twists (cat's paw). The extra twists actually reduce the knot's ability to tighten down on the loose ends to prevent them slipping. There is a variation that has a lot more friction but I doubt I can describe how to tie it. You create the two loops and then twist each one in a figure 8 , twisting one opposite to the other. This gives two double loops to pass the free ends through. 4 loops in total. The knot looks a little like a double ended tau-line hitch or blake's hitch or a double pipe hitch and nothing like the cat's paw. It is very resistant to loosening.
Regarding the cow hitch vs the girth hitch at 0:54 notice that if you flip the stick over so that the cow hitch is on the right and the girth hitch is on left then the girth hitch becomes the cow hitch and the cow hitch becomes the girth hitch. It's magic! THEY'RE THE SAME KNOT. It's just a matter of whether you're looking at them from below or above or vice versa.
Hey, Jason! Great video! I've been knotting for years and somehow have never come across this knot until today. Your presentation is excellent - I've subscribed after watching just this one video and am looking forward to more. I think this knot is going to be really useful. I've used the Canadian jam knot before on smaller cord and string and had the string break. I think this is a better solution. Thanks very much!
Hello, Jason! First time viewing your channel; and I am impressed by your video explanation and demonstration of the Woodland Zip-Tie and some knot variants for its use. Subscribing right now and looking forward to checking out your other knot tying content. Kudos! 👏
You are or you're, not your. When spoken your and you're sound the same. When written your and you're have completely different meanings and usages. That which follows the written word your belong to the person you are writing to.
look on the other side of the cow hitch, golly gosh its a girth hitch, according too one of my knot books the cow and girth are two names for the same hitch
Replacing girth hitch with constrictor knot might work as well or better. Tie constrictor knot in the bight (middle of rope without access to either end of rope) then pass both loose ends through constrictor knot in opposite directions like in video. When both loose ends are removed from constrictor knot, the constrictor knot, just like girth hitch, will disappear. Not sure if it will grip better than knot in video. And there are many people who don’t know how to tie constrictor knot in the bight (without access to either end) I think it would grip better, but I’ve not tested it. I’m guessing here.
Cow hitch vs. girth hitch? They're the same knot, it's our perspective that's different. You may as well describe them as; 'this is a left knot because it's on the left and this is a right knot, because it's on the right.'
They are named for their use, which is intuitively instructive in how to tie it. Would you rather stand there and try to tell someone to put the loop top/bottom or inside/outside, no not that way, turn it around, do the ends the other way...while you're under pressure to get the dang job done in a hurry? Or just say, "Do a girth hitch", & 5 seconds later it's done, because you're on the same page? Or....you can stand there & explain 'perspective' to someone, while you play with your rope, and the horse has happily dumped your saddle & run away. Bless your heart, I know you can't help yourself! You wouldn't last long in Texas.
@LisaJohnson1967 I wouldn't need to explain perspective because... see if you can stay with me here... They👏Are👏The👏Same👏Knot👏 Let me ask you this; when this knot is tied around a post (a vertical post), is it a girth hitch or a cow hitch?
Let me ask that differently, with respect to your framing... What would differentiate a cow hitch from a girth hitch, and vice versa, when tied around a vertical post or pole? Educate me.
Im not understanding your explanation of the difference between a Cow vs Girth Hitch. It looks to me like one allows you to pull down & the other, you pull up to tighten it.
They're the same knot, it's our perspective that's different. He may as well describe them as; 'this is a left knot because it's on the left and this is a right knot, because it's on the right.'
The cow hitch and girth hitch are the same knots just different names. Just backwards. And both would pinch just the same if pulled left or right on a cow's neck. Don't believe me. Then tie both hitches on your neck and you will see.
Thanks, but that's a bit too much for me. I do it way it's done in cable lacing, which is tied tens or hundreds of times in a working day of a professional who does this for a living. The cable lacing approach is my favorite knot, and I use it all the time and have been for decades.
You should create your own RUclips channel, post your videos, then have some random dude tell you that his methods are so much better than yours. Good luck!
@@Subdood04 Yes, those are true statements. Cable lacing specifications call for permanent and secure wire management, particularly for aircraft that we need to be dependable. Yes, the one in the vid is reusable but so is the variation of a cable lacing knot that I use on a regular basis. The difference is a matter of what it takes to make them secure and still reusable. For me, the one I use is easier to work with and can be cinched down much more tightly, though ultimately they are very similar in functionality.
Be careful of “so how do you know each other” in an already awkward context. It is sometimes used in a passive aggressive manner and is easy to read that way, more like another way to say “why are you even here?” Something slightly more specific like “how did you two meet?” Might work better 😅
girth hitch, cow hitch??? What are you talking about, is this for real? First of all those are the same knot. Just because you flip something over doesn't change what it is. And it's called a larks head.

Thank you for the explanation of the hitches!
Happy to help!
I like the speed at which you use your hands - the steps become more visible and less "magic".

Very unusually clear but complete explanations. Thanks a lot.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Just bought your field guide for my backpacking trips. Thanks!

OMG THANK YOU! I’m up struggling to tie a yarn pom pom to finish a gift the night before a baby shower. Super useful for knitters and crocheters!!
That cats paw is pretty nice! Thanks!
🐾
Thank you. I'm just starting to learn tying knots. And find your channel very helpful.
I'm so glad! Thank you
Thank you. One of the most useful and easy to make.
Superb knot. I used it to bind firewood
I am a bit of a knot nerd and I had not seen this one before. Thanks.
Most versatile knot!
Excellent presentation Jason. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Well-balanced visual & description
I just use a quick-release square knot. This just looks like it does the same thing but with extra steps. Thanks for the video though.
wow this is a great knot, thank you
A nice knot. Thanks
love your sense of humor!
I like it I’m Knot kidding
Nice work. Thank you for sharing.
👍🏾🙏🏾 Always learning something with Your tutos, eventhought I already know the knot. Awesome. Thx very much Jason. Peace🎉❤
Basically a clove hitch knot. They're quite useful!
The cow hitch looks very like what I (a climber) call a Larks head knot?

Yes, that’s right. They are basically the same knot. The difference is the orientation and application

Granny knots never fail 😂😂
I have been knotting similar to those. Nice to know the names!
Thanks
Good video, thanks for sharing, God bless !
just what I'm looking for,. Thanks
You're welcome!
Nice knot..
Thanks. I just subscribed
Awesome, thank you!
Great info!! Thank you!!
Very good
New subscriber. Great stuff. I’ve never been good with knots. Hopefully I can learn some and REMEMBER how to do it when I need it. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for the sub! Take your time and practice often, it will come together in time
Love the explanation! New sub too! :)
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this video. Excellent presentation! Subscribed.
Thank you
excellent, earned a like and a sub
Awesome, thanks!
Hi! The catspaw looks useful. Would this knot losen up at sea, do You know?
Stellar!!
Thanks

This works great if your in need of a belt for your pants also you can join 2 rope together .Thank you its so simple too

You rode the short bus, yeah? It's ok. Keep playing with your rope, sunshine!
Thank you for the video! Where did you get that hat? It looks so comfy.
That my friend is an Akubra. Had it for 26 years, from Australia
Thank you! Now my search for that hat starts! Lol I bought your knots book on Amazon. It should be arriving this week. Hope you have a great day!
Nice knots that look easy enough. I go to try it out ...... fail 😮💨😩😫🤦♂️
The title is a statement, not a question.
How is the girth knot different from a Lark's head?
The way the knot is tied for the application it’s being used , watch ruclips.net/video/UE0aPbTh8R0/видео.htmlsi=Vfl7p_Hv8An8iShW
wait a minute, if you rotate that cow hitch 1/8th of a turn you have the other...wtfudge...
🎉🎉🎉
Ace! ^5
Just use a constrictor knot. Uses less rope. Holds better. Easy to untie if you move the riding turn off the overhand knot.
Replacing girth hitch with constrictor knot might work as well or better.
Tie constrictor knot in the bight (middle of rope without access to either end of rope) then pass both loose ends through constrictor knot in opposite directions like in video.
When both loose ends are removed from constrictor knot, the constrictor knot, just like girth hitch, will disappear.
Not sure if it will grip better than knot in video.
And there are many people who don’t know how to tie constrictor knot in the bight (without access to either end)
I think it would grip better, but I’ve not tested it. I’m guessing here.
Always called that a larks head
Larks head works too. “Larks head” is used a lot in the macrame and decorative knotting arts
Dude this is a lark's head, and it doesn't matter how you turn it, it's still the same knot.
At 1:10 of your video. both knots are exactly the same. One is just the view from the other side. Why a different name?
Cow hitch vs. girth hitch? They're the same knot, it's our perspective that's different. You may as well describe them as; 'this is a left knot because it's on the left and this is a right knot, because it's on the right.'

What? Nothing to say Tex? That's a shame.
The difference is the orientation the knots are tied for select purposes
I always thought those were the running parts. The standing part doesn't move. Just saying. Ashley.
Thanks for explaining how a cow hitch doesn’t pinch. Gravity changes a knot’s effectiveness. 😮
Other way, girth hitch doesn’t but cow hitch does
note, doesnt work with not compressable items
Subscribe ❤❤
Thank you
Im not understanding your explanation of the difference between a Cow vs Girth Hitch. It looks to me like one allows you to pull down & the other, you pull up to tighten it.
They look identical if the stick is turned around 180 degrees.
They're the same knot, it's our perspective that's different. He may as well describe them as; 'this is a left knot because it's on the left and this is a right knot, because it's on the right.'
Fancy larks head..
Shows 4 knots. I came for 1.
The cow hitch and girth hitch are the same knots just different names. Just backwards. And both would pinch just the same if pulled left or right on a cow's neck. Don't believe me. Then tie both hitches on your neck and you will see.
Actually they have different purposes hence the name. In equestrian, you should never use a cow hitch. Don’t believe me? Go take a few lessons

Are you an electrician, can you show us it.
You should create your own RUclips channel, post your videos, then have some random dude tell you that his methods are so much better than yours. Good luck!
Cable lacing isn’t designed to be done and undone as a rule. It is typically cut off when done. This is reusable.
@@Subdood04 Yes, those are true statements. Cable lacing specifications call for permanent and secure wire management, particularly for aircraft that we need to be dependable. Yes, the one in the vid is reusable but so is the variation of a cable lacing knot that I use on a regular basis. The difference is a matter of what it takes to make them secure and still reusable.

@@TesserId Can you show your version of the knot?
although it it "zips" down the blanket, it looks like it would take much effort for it to come undone. Better off with a simple square knot....imho.
Not really much effort but yes, there are a lot of alternative ways to tie a binding knot or suitable hitch knot. Thanks for sharing
Be careful of “so how do you know each other” in an already awkward context. It is sometimes used in a passive aggressive manner and is easy to read that way, more like another way to say “why are you even here?” Something slightly more specific like “how did you two meet?” Might work better 😅

Thanks for the comment, it’s ok, you can still learn
@@JasonsKnotChannelHow are these not the same? Your perspective is reversed but the cord follows the same path.
Please explain.
