This really helped! I have having trouble getting the flag to stay exactly where I put it, because I was just wrapping and wrapping relaying on tension to hold it to the cleat.
I agree with Daniel below. I am really enjoying all the knot of the week episodes. All my years on the Navy, I have never learned this flag pole knot. lol! Thanks much for this.
Love the knot of the week episodes. I made a templar shield on my plate carrier with the butterfly knot. Looks good and i carry about 30ft plus of emergency 550 cord. Keep up the good work.
Hello, I don't know if anyone is still monitoring questions on here but I want to ask if I have a 30' flag pole how long of rope should I have. I ask because I just bought a house with a pole that desperately needs the rope and attachments replaced and I wanted extra line enough to tie it off at the bottom like you show.
@docjamesjdjd on my 25' flag pole I doubled the length to 50' to secure the rope to the cleat. I'd go with 60'. Depending on where the cleat is that should be plenty. 🇺🇸
Your cleat lock is in the wrong direction. The rope you pointed at that crosses over the rope should be across, not alongside the cleat. This will slip.
you should elaborate more. your explanation needs more clarity. use mm:ss. at no point is the halyard “along side” the cleat EXCEPT in the beginning and end AFTER its been locked in place twice. It will not slip because the stress is taken by the cleat once the halyard is wrapped underneath the foot of the cleat. then, once it is locked in place with the twist the halyard is then properly secured.

This video is incorrect. Thelocking loop should go over the top horn. If you're going to make an instructional video, make sure the information is correct.

Well done! A very informative demonstration without unnecessary promoting. Thank you!

Now to build a nation
You might want to check some videos for a cleat hitch for boating for example. Your half hitch lock is in the wrong direction.
yes I think you are right if it is supposed to be the same
Not only that but he should have made a half turn around the cleat before the figure 8s.
Thanks!
Nice
Mind blown

Wrong side!
Your cleat is actually wrong...If you care.
