Watched another video on same knot 8 times couldn't get it...watched your video and got it on second try. GOOD TEACHER 👍 THX PROBABLY SAVED A LIFE !!! AT SEA 🌊 💙 😀
I often make this one with more turns. Not for safety, it just looks prettier 😅. One of the nicest, lesser known, yet very useful knots that i use every day on the sailing boat. ❤
I like this knot for tying a latch hook for halloween decorations. What do I do with the other end. I put a stake in the ground, wrap the rope around it This is where I get stuck. I am unsure what knot to use where I can move the rope to secure the decorations so that the wind does take them. I hope this makes sense.
@@007yankeesrule OK, sometime ago this was discussed here on YT, and somebody used two Farrimond Friction Hitches to tie up their plants. As their plants grew, the the loop could be adjusted and also where the line was supported against the wall could also be adjusted. I did also do an experiment a while ago, where I attached a very heavy weight using the Farrimond. When dressed smartly and tightly, I could adjust the position of the heavy weight just be holding the knot and sliding it up and down. When I let go, the knot would hold fast.

Dear Johnny Debt, I am a casual learner. I learnt a few knots from my father. I use them whenever I get a chance. I appreciate the effort you are putting in to explain and demonstrate the knots. Keep it up.
Good one! I don't consider being able to untie a knot when under load a big downside. I know there are reasons to do so in some situations, but I have not come across them.
Hi John, there are a a couple I can think of. I have a gennaker in snuffer - the line that opens the snuffer needs to be tied off with a releasable hitch. Tied off with a clove-hitch is nightmare - as some "helpful" crew have done. The other is setting up rescues from whitewater or mountain where you're transferring "load" - i.e. person - from one line to another. For all of the above, I use a "Munter-Hitch" aka Italian hitch as it may be released slowly and tied off again (with a mule knot).
That is really interesting to know, as yet I have not done the Munter hitch. Look out for a video on that one shortly. Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots being used!
Thanks. Great video demo. Very clear. Well paced and easy to follow. The only thing that could have added to it for me would be just to explain one of the contexts of use i.e. the practical applications especially for the second knot around a bar. e.g. could this be safely used to tie down a mainsail halyard in the absence of a cleat?
Think of it being used at the other end of the halyard (not the end you cleat off on deck). You probably won't see it used on modern bermudan rigged boats, but on gaff, gunter and lug rigs you might use this to tie the halyard directly to the spar which holds the sail up.
Agreed... I feel a round turn and two half-hitches is just as easy to tie and (perhaps) more secure. But, I believe this vid is simply about demonstrating how to tie the knot, not necessarily which knots are best. In that context, well done @johhny Cheers!
I believe that this knot is popular, as the knot is low profile and also it jams tight. In fact it jams so tight that it has to be cut off sometimes (a sailor just told me this).
Two half hitches is a very insecure knot irl sailing applications. The reverse two half hitches is secure but impossible to untie after load. So the HH is really a good first option imho.
I wqtched a video you did on the Ashley book of knots and you mentioned additional books for those interested in decorative knot work, would you be so kind as to share that with me?
Hellos Stephen, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I would say that the best book for decorative knotting projects, is this one by Des Pawson: amzn.to/2KxUbKe There are also other books listed on this page: igkt-solent.co.uk/supplies/ but I would say that the one by Des is the best of all.
Ah yes, but I have to think about my audience. I have one person who is blind and between him and his granddaughter he listens and she does both. He then has a go a tying the knot, and she corrects him when he goes wrong. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Wow Johnny, that story brought a tear to my cynical eyes. I know I like to watch and learn about knots, hitches and bends. Always have, even before my time in the US Navy.
I am sorry if I was misunderstood. I liked the whole video, but many people looking for a straight forward way to learn that knot will search a short video. Keep up with your suberb work, despite my fool claims for speed. Best regards.
Btw, answering your question, I am a practical -- sailing and trying to build boats. But they are always decorative, no, for they are so beautiful. Regards from South Brazil.
Hey, not a problem, I have been considering the idea of making two of each video, one with all the gibber jabber and another with none. US Navy and then ending up in Brazil, how does that happen?
I am a lot in nature for hiking, canoeing and camping. But also decorate my knives and my backpack with paracorde. So practical and decorative knots :)
Ich bin viel In der Natur zum wandern, Kanu fahren und Campen. Schmücke aber auch meine Messer und mein Rucksack mit paracorde. Also praktische und dekorative Knoten :)

Supreme knot teacher you are. Your hands are a marvel.

In this world of political correctness, can you still call yourself a Firefighter? In the UK, there was discussion about it being too aggressive???
Johnny Debt Firefighter....at least the term isnt as sexist as Fireman. Politics...
Another simple knot that not many know about thank you, your demonstrations are very clear and understandable. Thank you again Johnny
Always a pleasure Michael
Nice knot, I like it because it is smaller than a bowline at the top of the sail.
Watched another video on same knot 8 times couldn't get it...watched your video and got it on second try. GOOD TEACHER 👍 THX PROBABLY SAVED A LIFE !!! AT SEA 🌊 💙 😀

Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
Make more videos! Thats how you can improve! Thanks a million!
Tied all my halyards now with this knot, and with help of this tutorial.. thank you, very well done instructional!
......... and now, that is one knot you will never forget!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
This will be a great bend for my Sunfish Sailboat Halyard! It seams better than an old "clove hitch". You made it easy to follow and tie, Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Very good. Easy to follow procedure. Thanks!

This is where I get stuck. I am unsure what knot to use where I can move the rope to secure the decorations so that the wind does take them. I hope this makes sense.
are you looking for some form of knot that can be slid up and down, but stay locked in whatever position you leave it in?
Yes

Really good to hear that! There is nothing more satisfying than using a knot to solve a problem. Thanks for getting back.
Nice

Thanks again!! :-)
Good one! I don't consider being able to untie a knot when under load a big downside. I know there are reasons to do so in some situations, but I have not come across them.
It is sort of a noose knot, but may come undone if loosened slightly.

Thanks for the comment. I do sometime revise old videos, so if I do, I will give you a mention,
Think of it being used at the other end of the halyard (not the end you cleat off on deck). You probably won't see it used on modern bermudan rigged boats, but on gaff, gunter and lug rigs you might use this to tie the halyard directly to the spar which holds the sail up.
Nicely explained. The knot itself always feels like a poor third option. Perhaps in a situation on a sailing vessel, it makes more sense?
Agreed... I feel a round turn and two half-hitches is just as easy to tie and (perhaps) more secure. But, I believe this vid is simply about demonstrating how to tie the knot, not necessarily which knots are best. In that context, well done @johhny Cheers!
I believe that this knot is popular, as the knot is low profile and also it jams tight. In fact it jams so tight that it has to be cut off sometimes (a sailor just told me this).
That seems reasonable. I wonder if it was more of an issue with natural fiber ropes as well. Good information to supplement a fine video.
just as a side note, more turns can be used to reduce the length of the working and poking out.
Two half hitches is a very insecure knot irl sailing applications. The reverse two half hitches is secure but impossible to untie after load. So the HH is really a good first option imho.

Why not your métal thimble+knot for a halyard?
Nice knot and video (although it could last a minute and a half :-)
