hey brother, if you ever are in need, tell your little man a random guy on the internet says that his dad is pretty smart. I just counted, you're in the top-three of channels in my "for reference" playlist
Good video - especially the Bowline under tension - but as for the joining ropes under tension - for one thing, it's not under tension if you're holding the tension off with your left. The simple mod is create a loop in the side of your bend. Then you pass the other end through the loop and let go with the left and you're truly trying your knot under tension. But all other things in the vid are - as always - excellent info; best knot tying channel on YT.
Another excellent explanation! While I'm a fan of the sheet bend.....I do prefer the alpine bend for added security (although it does use slightly more line). Thanks
So interesting to see the sheet bend tied that way in the 2-point harness; I've never seen the bight used 'on the bight", in mid-rope; I've always only seen the crossed loop tied mid-rope, with the bight being the working end. Now I wanna practice that variation! Seems like it's best used when both sides of the bight are under roughly equal tension.
I don't know why or who put this video in my recommended feed but kudos to it/they... this is something that I didn't know that I need to know. Finally YT recommendation hut the head of the nail.
Would you mind recommending what kinds of paracord you use and why you use those particular types. I really liked learning how to tie rope knots in the past, but my interest has been renewed since watching your videos. Thank You
Note that if you turn the securement loop one more time before passing it through the "window" you create a Simple Simon; the easy to do, more secure cousin of the sheet bend.
That's great, although in many cases you can perform a bowline or 8 loop in the rope in your left hand,no need to lock the bigh once you put both together...
if you are using dyneema ,the Weaver's knot ( tisserand ou demi tisserand ) can slide and untie under important load . if you plan to use the weaver knot in a critical application like caving or climbing ( most likely to put a 5mm dyneema (often used for natural anchors ) and a 8 to 11 mm rope together ) always let 10 cm or more behind the knot or a " pecheur double " knot after to prevent the sliding ( there is also a lot of other ways to prevent slide ) . Never forget how slippery the dyneema can be, especially if it's wet or muddy .
I'm interested in self tightening knots, like say I'm stringing up a clothesline or something and I have a loop around two fixed positions, I would love to make a knot with a loose end I can pull to tighten it without it coming loose. Another practical application for my particular situation since I'm living out of my truck is lines for curtains to block my windows at night and hang things during the day
You can try a taut-line hitch or a midshipmans hitch (just search RUclips for those knots). I'be been using them several years in general camping just to set tarp lines or tents. You can use it between tal foxed positions by previously tying one end of your rope with some kind of fixed loop (for example a simple bowline) and then tying the taut-line or midshipmans at the other side. If You need more tension You could use a truckers hitch. Search foto the "automAtic truckers hitch" in First class amateurs videos. It's an awesome hitch since You don't need to use the end of the rope and it locks up as you apply tension so You don't lose any. AND it's very eady to untie. I changed My way of making My truckers hitch since i saw his video and i'm not going back hehe. Good luck!!
Hi im big fan of yr knots, please help below.. I need a knot with two handles or loops in 180 * opposite direction, which can hold the valve spindle of 20mm cylindrical shape & can be gripped enough to move the valve up and down vertically when valve seat is in pressure. .. the problem is pnematic diaphragm which is articulating this valve is malfunctioning , i had to unmount, but cant operate the valve as its spindle is not with threads.
Hello, I was just watching the new series on Disney+ called “werewolf by night” and I noticed the use of the gravity hook by one of the main characters. I wasn’t sure if you knew anything about it, but I thought I would go ahead and mention it.
Can you help me figure out how to tie a bosuns chair with a rope ans 2x8. I tried drilling a hole at both ends with a knot to hold the chair but that was too tippy. Thanks!
Sorry, but I'm not following. Could someone please explain what the difference between the sides of the rope where we tie "the bitter end" in the sheet bend is? And how tying it on the other side makes it any better?
well if you tie a Canadian jam knot in your drawstring, after you put your pants on you will never have to tie them again...just pull the string and tuck end away...the only other clue i will give out is that the drawstring must be free running i.e. not sewed down...
I think I have a better method: Tie a stopper knot in one end. Tie a tightenable loop in the other end. Then lift the weight for a short time, put the stopper knot through the loop and pull it closed. You really only need to lift the weight for a second and nothing can go wrong. . If you don't tie the stopper knot at the very end of the rope, but 10 centimetres in front of it, you can do all this even with just one hand!
Please reconsider using the first, most common pronunciation of bowline. You’re so good with knots. It would match up better. It’s an extremely old word, plus it’s nautical. This makes for a need for a nod to tradition. Bo-lin.

woah woah woah can you focus on the bowline two point harness sheet bend thing....where has that rigging been all my life....that is awesome
Your videos has increased my knot-tying knowledge by a thousand percent.
Thanks!
...these videos teach me what KNOT to do
Nice instructions. Thank you.
I don't think I've ever seen someone tie knots in such a satisfying way.
You furnish the most amazing solutions to some of my problems!
Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words
Wow, thank you ❤️. I feel honored 😊.
Great ideas.
At 5:01, please see The Ashley Book of Knots, Sheet Bend #66 vs #67. Your version is like #67, but #66 is considered more secure.
That two-loop dealie is great for making a trucker’s hitch self-locking so it’s easier to keep tension as you’re tieing it off

His demonstration was a practical explanation for real life scenarios and worked perfectly for that.
Really genius! You're a credit to the nation!
Nice format having the "quick refresher" at the front of the vid for future reference, the explanaiton afterwards is excellent!
I wish i could retain more of this information, it looks incredibly useful.
Oh! very very nice! smartly described, thank you.
Amazing work. Thanks!
Excellent as always my friend!
Fckn love these knot videos, cheers big fella!
Another excellent explanation!

Great tutorial, all I can think of is how many knots I forgot how to tie after Boy Scouts
Thanks for showin me the ropes.
Killing it.
*_MOST EXCELLENT_*

Good teaching
You’re a damn wizard

Wow you should shoot in 1st person VR sometime! That would give me a reason to dust off the old goggles.
Genius

Hello,
Do you think this type of knot would work well for me to secure a stepladder? Thank you very much
What is the best way to secure a large 2 handle plastic gas container to the back bed of truck??
Thank you:)

Fab. Most enlightening knot video on RUclips. Can I double subscribe?
I did not follow that last bit about what do to when both ropes are under tension. Someone care to explain in more detail?
Use a fishman knot. Two half hitches that slide. Work easy better for a kite. Same not they use to join fish line.
The design is very human
None of this makes any sense to me, but I'm impressed
Its sheet bends all the way down. He is showing off just how versatile, powerful and fundamental the ol' sheety is.
4:40. “What not to use” -or- “what knot to use” ???
Sorry, but I'm not following. Could someone please explain what the difference between the sides of the rope where we tie "the bitter end" in the sheet bend is? And how tying it on the other side makes it any better?
Better living through sheet bends.

…after tying rope to heavy dumbbell and securing to wrist, do NOT drop into deep water…
SECTION 5: BALL STRETCHER
well if you tie a Canadian jam knot in your drawstring, after you put your pants on you will never have to tie them again...just pull the string and tuck end away...the only other clue i will give out is that the drawstring must be free running i.e. not sewed down...

I think I have a better method:
Tie a stopper knot in one end.
Tie a tightenable loop in the other end.
Then lift the weight for a short time, put the stopper knot through the loop and pull it closed.
You really only need to lift the weight for a second and nothing can go wrong.

If you don't tie the stopper knot at the very end of the rope, but 10 centimetres in front of it, you can do all this even with just one hand!
Please reconsider using the first, most common pronunciation of bowline. You’re so good with knots. It would match up better. It’s an extremely old word, plus it’s nautical. This makes for a need for a nod to tradition. Bo-lin.
Your hands are in the way...
