I have used this knot for many things over the years, but not once did it occur to me to use it for my sweatpants. Would have saved me a lot of aggravation.... thank you.
Everything about this video is exactly how it should be. You provide facts, examples, use cases, and high production value. Too many knot videos are 100% "how" and 0% "why"! Thank you.
Your production in this video was on point! Beautiful cinematography, outstanding audio, brilliant color grading, strategic use of light and amazing presentation all packaged in a short informative video!
Wow, thank you so so much for this. I literally just bought a camera about a year ago and dove into it… so this really means a lot to hear. I’ve been really enjoying the whole process of cinematography and mixing that with teaching!
@@TheBearEssentialsThat recently?! Your videos really set you apart from other knot tying instructionals (to be fair, some of them are from 10+ years ago with inferior tech), the clarity and context you employ are excellent
Great video and presentation, what I really liked was the examples of the hitch's use at the beginning. Also the demonstration of a mistied version and what it would mean. Nice clear instructions. Thanks for the video.
I have been learning, failing to learn, and see-learning knots all my life -- with varying degrees of success. I have taught knots in scouts and used them extensively when camping in earlier versions of me (only to forget them due to lack of use as I aged). Your videos have cemented these knots in a way I remember them. I found myself remembering to use this knot recently because of this video -- I wanted to thank you for that. You videos are a true gifted to the world. Thank you for them.
Camping, the outdoors, and life in general 😂 loved that one! Of course you added a quick release to it, I was already waiting for that variation and actually already started thinking about how to add it... Seems I already picked up this habit from you - awesome teaching of yours!
Thank you, saved this one for later to try to commit to memory. BTW, do you know you look like Armand Assante, the guy that played Rico Dredd in the movie Judge Dredd?
Yupp! Its the best. If you screw this one up by accident it can become the taut line too. Biggest difference is taut line is tied onto itself, where rolling hitch is tied on to a different rope - and provides a bit better tension.
In Sailing: When an override happens on a jib sheet winch, use a rolling hitch to fix it. 1. Grab another line -- even the tail of another sheet that will reach a few feet forward on the jammed jib sheet. 2. Secure the new line to the taught (and jammed) jib sheet. 3. Bring the new line to any available winch and winch it tight. 4. When the jammed jib sheet is slack, fix the override by removing and re-winching the jib sheet back onto its winch. 5. Tighten the jib sheet properly onto its winch and remove the rolling hitch by releasing either the rolling hitch or the secondary winch. 6. Count your fingers and give this comment a thumbs-up if you still have 10.
I made a comment on another channel asking "why don't you just use a rolling hitch?" Cool. Good video. Simple knot. You can apply more twists in the knot and use it on larger ropes similar to a prusik as well. Although it is open ended and could potentially slip under great strain. But I've used it with pullies. Pulling in wire through pipes. It's a great way to tie off the main line while you reset the gear.
You do VERY good knot and hitch illustrations and explanations. This, as well as its many variations, has always been a staple in my repertoire. I've forever kinda thought this set of hitches to be nothing more special than prusik and clove variations, and since I know how they work, I can improvise as needed. Of three "knotish" things I must know how to do, this is included as base knowledge.
Thank you so much! And I couldn’t agree more with your thought on the clove/prusik variations. Understanding how these ones work and a few example uses I think helps people see all sorts of unique uses in their own lives!
Great video and explanation. Fun fact: The Ashley book of knots identifies two similar knots as rolling hitch. The one you describe and the one that's used as the actual knot part in the tautline hitch (basically two round turns and a half hitch). I use the last one to hang my tarp, having two loose thin ropes fixed to opposite holes in my tarp (with bowline knots) i just wrap them twice around the ridgeline and secure them with a half hitch, usually tied with the bight as a quick realease, then i move the knots apart to tighten the tarp, exactly like you described.
Heres a comparison of a few similar adjustable hitches: *Rolling Hitch* - (Uni Directional Pull) Attaches onto another rope or pole and pulls parallel to it. _Used in all the applications in this video, mainly tying one rope onto a separate rope._ *Midshipman's Hitch* - (Uni Directional Pull) Its an exact Rolling Hitch, but wrapped around an object and then back onto itself. (Similar to the Taut-Line) _Used at the ends of a ridgeline for tensioning - and is almost identical in usage as the taut-line._ *Taut-Line* - (Uni Directional Pull) Wraps around an object, back onto itself. Slightly easier to tie than the midshipman / rolling hitch, very very similar, a tiny bit less secure._Used at the ends of a Ridgeline for tensioning - and is almost identical in usage as the midshipmans._ *Prussik* - (Bi-Directional pull) so you can pull tension either way. Downside is it requires a loop of cord to tie generally, takes a bit longer, and can screw it up a bit easier. _Its more secure than the above knots and preferred for rescue and climbing applications. Has a great use in tarp tie out's as well._
Any variation of the rolling hitch is a taut-line hitch when used to tie a rope to itself. Ashley's Rolling hitch 1 (# 1734 - used in the most common taut-line variant) is actually better when tying a rope directly to a pole or similar object. Ashley's Rolling Hitch 2 (# 1735 - used in this video) is generally better for rope-on-rope applications
"Taut-Line-Hitch" seems to be a whole class of similar hitches used for line tensioning. My favorite is the Adjustable Grip Hitch, which is a relatively new knot. The Rolling Hitch is best used tying a line to a post or much larger rope when pulling parallel to the post. as opposed to tying an adjustable loop.
nope, doesn't work. i tried different ropes and sizes. results always in the 1:35 knot. it just slides. possible tension is not even for my sweatpants enough. if made from the same rope (loop) it is very usefull for a hangmans rope though.
Hey! Im still working through a massive waitlist. I'm thinking I'll have books open again toward the end of this year. I'm also working on a complete bundle! Just sorting out the Axe and making sure I have a great blacksmith to work with for it!
I'm wondering what it says about a person when he gets excited about a knot/hitch? I'm not talking about you 😉. I have a question, though. I see that you are using a very small line (paracord) upon a relatively large rope. Given that friction hitches do require a certain size differential between the ridge line and the hitch material, does this hitch require that large of a size differential? More so than, say, the Prusik?
Haha, we can only guess 😅 And yes you’re absolutely right. Any friction hitch works best like this. Though you can get away with the same size line, it’s better with smaller to larger, likely exactly the same as the prussik!
I love this knot, and although I watched a bunch of vids about it, you have more uses and help for this versatile knot!! I totally downloaded your video for personal use when Wi-Fi and electricity go bye-bye lol! I'll find solar or whatever needs, but and going to compile a wealth of info on this tiny phone for future use!
I use a rolling hitch every time I anchor my sailboat for the evening. After paying out the anchor chain and setting the anchor, I tie a rolling hitch on a 15' length of 1/2" line around the anchor chain. The other end of the line goes to a bow cleat. The anchor chain is then paid out further, allowing the cleated rope line to take the load off of the windlass, greatly reducing anchor noise and wear and tear on the windlass. Capt. Blackheart Charlie Key West
I wasn't familiar with this knot but I soon will be. I've always used a tautline hitch to do the same and I have it used everywhere especially on drawstrings. One of these on each side of your handlebars will hold your bike uptight in the truck.
No they’re slightly different. But they essentially do the same thing. The wraps just create friction and allow it to be adjustable… midshipman / rolling has a couple of crossovers which add to its security is all. Either will work great !
That explains it! I had a cinch necklace back in the day that used "fancy slip knots" 😅. Girls camp was a useless gossip gathering, and the boys/ counsellors wouldn't let me look things up in the boy's books. Church is sexist at times; I fail to understand why policing knots is a thing when all humans need to use them...
You just renamed what I see people calling the taught knot! I’ve been using it to tie down my canopy! I see others using it for for a line between trees for a rain shelter
👍🏻 It's a very handy knot, but is your sweatpants example the right way around? Being unidirectional, the knot slides in the direction of the tag end, and locks when pulling away from the tag end. So your sweatpants knot will tend to slide open, instead of being locked against sliding open. But if you tie it the other way (with the tag end on the inside of the loop) then the knot will lock when you want it to and keep your pants up. The way you tied it in the video would work for a guy-line .. which has the opposite requirement to sweatpants
Hey! Ya it is tied the right way. I had to really think this through bc of the upside down flip on the video.. But..Think of your stomach pushing out against the loop and knot.. it foces the knot away from you, toward the single wrap (the two wraps are in toward your stomach) meaning the tension end is pulling on the side of the two wraps. But either way, the unidirectional is only important if your putting heavy tension on it. Like it does work both ways just fine, but if your loading it with heavy tension for something your relying on like a tarp, then the correct way is tension end is the two loops (but it can still work the other way) Hope this helped!
Ya Blake's is an awesome one! And I double checked, it's the correct direction, but because 1)the view is upside down, and 2) I am feeding a bite through.. It looks like it's the wrong way.
Where was that hitch all my life!! I just love knots and hitches, as a rock climber I’m sure I’ll find a bunch of uses for this one. Not for body loading of course, but for gear etc.
tbh i avoid the rolling hitch like the plague it DOESNT maintain tension well ... a prusik knot works better ... the climbers sliding knott ... it self binds to stop from sliding ... under strain and when not under strain it can be slid easy ... and it DOESNT loosen ever ...
These names have been getting jumbled up for a long time, so if anyone's confused, it's helpful to know that "rolling hitch" refers to this knot AND the knot used in the standard taut-line. And also the magnus hitch If you tie a taut-line using a separate piece of rope, it's a rolling hitch - not a taut-line. If you use any variation of the rolling hitch to tie a rope to itself (making that adjustable loop), it's a taut-line hitch "Midshipman's hitch" is traditionally synonymous with taut-line. It's also called a tent-line hitch, rigger's hitch, or adjustable hitch
Yes for sure they’re all technically the same!! Though if I really dig deep and need out about it - the difference also comes into effect in the wrap style. Yes all are two under one over, but some cross over in diff ways (ex taut line.vs midshipman vs Magnus) All of them do the same thing pretty much. Best to just call em all adjustable hitch lol.
Love your videos just subscribed 👍 any knots you'd recommend for hanging bear bags or food from trees. Was thinking a barrel hitch or bottle sling but curious what you thought?
Thank you so much for this information. I just macrame all my nots and don't mind taking them out.😁 But I would like a not that I can adjust tention for my clothing line. Can I use this method for hanging up wet blankets?
We used 2 of these to cary an absolute monster of a tree trunk (like 9ish meter long and .75 m in diameter or so) about 200 -300 meters over 2 small creeks with like 15 ppl or so.
Hitches are _AWESOME_ and that's my go-to to tie most things off! There's the old quote from David Lynch: "Two half hitches around the horn will hold the devil as sure as you're born!" There's the good old truckers hitch of course. The Knut hitch ("Ka-newt") Is one I might need soon, to climb a tree from a suspended climbing rope. Using a pair of Knut hitches, one above the other on the same line, you can tie foot loops in the tag ends and use them as alternating "steps" to climb the free standing line and add a carabiner to one of the hitches as your safety harness point.
@@juliauwanto7424 paracord will work well, poly is better as it won’t stretch, make sure your line with the rolling hitch is thinner diameter than the above one :)
I use this knot to hold the power lines from the transformer in the street to hold the homes power lines while I put in a new service. Holds them fine!!

What’s the advantage of the rolling hitch over other friction hitches like a Prussic or taught line?
I swear I've seen this knot being tied in an old western movie. To tie a horse up.
Could be, they would likely have used a halter hitch though. It’s really similar to the quick release version of this!
👍🏻 It's a very handy knot, but is your sweatpants example the right way around? Being unidirectional, the knot slides in the direction of the tag end, and locks when pulling away from the tag end. So your sweatpants knot will tend to slide open, instead of being locked against sliding open.
But if you tie it the other way (with the tag end on the inside of the loop) then the knot will lock when you want it to and keep your pants up.
The way you tied it in the video would work for a guy-line .. which has the opposite requirement to sweatpants
Hey! Ya it is tied the right way. I had to really think this through bc of the upside down flip on the video..
But..Think of your stomach pushing out against the loop and knot.. it foces the knot away from you, toward the single wrap (the two wraps are in toward your stomach) meaning the tension end is pulling on the side of the two wraps.

Excellent video. Comprehensive and great ideas to solve problems. Thank you
Love your videos just subscribed 👍 any knots you'd recommend for hanging bear bags or food from trees. Was thinking a barrel hitch or bottle sling but curious what you thought?
That’s a good one. If you look deeper you will discover that is called a Midshipman’s hitch.
I use only loops and loopholes plus some twigs for tarp fixation for years.. but this baby will be tested :) Thank you
Thank you so much for this information. I just macrame all my nots and don't mind taking them out.😁 But I would like a not that I can adjust tention for my clothing line. Can I use this method for hanging up wet blankets?
We used 2 of these to cary an absolute monster of a tree trunk (like 9ish meter long and .75 m in diameter or so) about 200 -300 meters over 2 small creeks with like 15 ppl or so.
Great good information. Thank you buddy. Excellent
Could ypu get the same result with a highwayman's hitch? (My favourite knot 😛)
Couldn't you climb with 2 rolling hitches and a loop from the working end of each for your feet?
I was shook when I realized it is basically the midshipmans hitch
No more bunny knots for my pajamas
never again!!
I learned the rolling hitch midshipman's hitch variant as a way of tensioning tent guylines.
a rolling hitch is a clove hitch with an extra turn, making it more secure due to the extra friction from the extra turn, a very useful knot,
Was taught this in boy scout but it never sticks to my brain. More than a decade later here I am lookin at this so I could tie my pajama pants...
Perfect timing. I just wondered about a shorter version of Prusik
Hitches are _AWESOME_ and that's my go-to to tie most things off! There's the old quote from David Lynch: "Two half hitches around the horn will hold the devil as sure as you're born!" There's the good old truckers hitch of course. The Knut hitch ("Ka-newt") Is one I might need soon, to climb a tree from a suspended climbing rope. Using a pair of Knut hitches, one above the other on the same line, you can tie foot loops in the tag ends and use them as alternating "steps" to climb the free standing line and add a carabiner to one of the hitches as your safety harness point.
How to choose rope thickness ,and how long needed,choose type of rope(nylon,polyester)?
Hey, depends on your application.
What will you be using it for??
Probably tying big box behind using motorcycle,tying tarp or secure it from wind (truck car loaded with box)
@@juliauwanto7424 paracord will work well, poly is better as it won’t stretch, make sure your line with the rolling hitch is thinner diameter than the above one :)
So the only way this works as a sweats drawstring is to pull one end massively farther out than the other. This is untenable.
Wow. Boy Scout forever and I’ve never seen this one before. Thanks
Finally someone explains knots in a slow enough way that I can understand the method! Bravo, sir!
Excellent! Thank You.
You’re very welcome!
I use this knot to hold the power lines from the transformer in the street to hold the homes power lines while I put in a new service. Holds them fine!!
I've known about this knot for many years, but didn't realise all the various uses it has.👍
Awesome!! I’m glad to bring ya a few new knes
I love your tutorials. Will your restrictor knot fulfill the same function in this case?
Nice usefull video. Put those "T"s back in there though . . .
Good, this is a variation of the Brancarella knot, made with two ropes instead of a loop
Nice, it’s kinda like the love child of the clove hitch and the taut line hitch.
best description ever 😂
Reminds me clove hitch.
Lols never mind you answered 😅
I use it when I am pumping wine into a tank from the top. I have a rope with one end fixed to the tank then a rolling hitch onto the hose.
That’s so awesome,, thank you for sharing your knowledge
My pleasure! Thx for watching
Hey I liked the last bit about using another line as an anchor. Thanks!
Nice! thats my favourite one!
if you need a line with adjustable tension why would'nt you learn the tuatline hitch
Everyone who uses knots should know at least one tension hitch and the Rolling hitch is a good one.
Or use a block with two holes and don't tie off just loop around.
I use it to hang pictures or scrolls so they can be adjusted to the height I prefer.
