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.
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.
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 really want to thank you for the enthusiasm you bring to the skill of knot tying. I’m enjoying learning from every video you’ve produced, and look forward to being able to one day recall each one of these from memory.
Completely concise and clear videos. About time someone did this! I don’t want to confuse this knot with the constrictor so have to concentrate! Well done you! Onwards, and keep them comming.
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.
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!
Excellent. Much appreciated. Describing when and how to use knots is a piece of the puzzle that most creators/books lack. The when is the piece I believe needed to cement the "how" in peoples memory. Mine at least. Thankyou
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.
DJ, you're a genius in hacks that really works. I think I have viewed all of your contents in one sitting, and I liked them all. Salamat po from the Philippines!
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.
So. I today needed to tighten a thin garden plant line support in my garden. A granny knot would not do. Nor a clove hitch. Then I remembered this video. This knot did the trick. So many thanks.
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.
Really good video, thanks. Terrific tune up. (The NYTimes went on about using the rolling hitch to tie waist strings-- never mentioning it was the rolling hitch. Pikers.) Holly on Wind Hippie Sailing YT Channel had her stainless steel cable back stay break (it holds up her mast -- very serious.) She just tied a rolling hitch which pulled roughly inline with the remaining cable. It didn't slip because of the differential (my term) of the rolling hitch. Very smart. Herbie The Rigging Doctor (another YT sailing channel) recommended expanding our rolling hitch thinking to include the Magus Hitch. This is similar, but under a load doesn't tighten as much, so the Magus is easier to undo. I was so enamored with it I forgot about the rolling hitch for a while. But they're both essential. (I'm usually pretty good at stuff. For years I could tie knots that'd work, but which were also impossible to undo. So I was bad at knots. When I became a sailor I started to focus on practicing them at home, maybe while listening to a pod cast, music or audiobook. So my Bowline got bulletproof, but my cleat hitch, rolling hitch, anything that needed something to tie to never got better. Even after sailing every day for three months. Made me realize that you have to break these knots (components) out and practice them in isolation until they're solid. So I got more ropes to tie to and put a big plastic cleat on a 2x4... Camping: For my rain fly I find I do two things for the stakes. First, I will only sew grosgrain loops, no hardware, and NO grommets. If I want my fly to the ground, I stick a stake in a loop spin it around a couple times and stick it in the ground. Done. For guy lines: Paracord tied to a grosgrain loop (bowline) the line then will already be a loop ending in a rolling hitch. Then I'll do the same thing with the stake, just spin it around a couple of times in the paracord (to lock it in, maybe a few more spins to shorten the line) , stick it in the ground. I slide the rolling hitch up and down to change length, tighten it. So my guy lines will be a taut line next to a sagging one. Doesn't look 'boy scouty' but absolutely efficient and quick. (When I break camp, I'll just leave the paracord and rolling hitch attached to the loops. And while I'm going on. All my stakes have about 8" of orange paracord tied to them. I think I lost two mini stakes in two days while hiking in Dorset. I noticed I never had to search for the stakes that had the orange paracord on them. So I just put a tail of it on the rest of my stakes. About 50 more days of camping, never lost another stake. At home I tape bright construction marking tape to remote controls so I can find them too. It works so well I can't be the first person to think of it.)
Dj! Like I said b4, I like watching your videos bc you go slow and make sure we can see hour hands. Many videos are so far away or don't go step by step. I'm older and never learned these skills but I love idea of rope vs ratchet straps.
I live in a city somewhat famous for its sailing conditions... in fact the sailing part of the Olympics were held here once... and we have regular racing regattas. The events are often set up a fair way from shore, and the boats are towed out to the starting line with a power boat trailing a long line behind. The competitors tie along that line with a rolling hitch and release when they reach that day's course. (at least that's what I was told when taught this "knot" when taking a sailing course). Thanks for reminding me of this... beats having to keep prusik loops in my tarp bag.
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.
This video paced perfectly for me. Definitely saving this video too! J will be so impressed when I use this knot in SO many ways. Please continue to add "when to use" tips! ❤ Thank you
Thanks for this not I’m sure would be useful in a lot of different ways. Never seen it never thought about it. Thank you. Keep the videos coming and I’ll keep Beth’s name on the other people. Thank you.
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!
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!
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
Hi, Grandson of old Navy officer, my pre-screen babysitting consisted of an old book and six feet of cord. I vaguely remember almost all of the knots, thought I'd forgotten most, but in one video you have reminded me and re-awakened at least one. Excellent video and presentation, subscribed. My own teenage son will now likely hate me for some considerable time as I still have the cord ... :-))
Ohey this is the upgrade I needed to make my "three knot rope ratchet" that I use to tie stuff down in the back of a moving truck even more secure. 😄 A double half-hitch works well for the ratchet, but I have had slips in the past that resulted in things becoming unsecured.
Yep, the rolling hitch is brilliant. I have been using it for years, primarily for guy ropes on tents and awnings. One of my GOTO knots, like a bowline or double sheetbend
Very well illustrated knot tying, first saw it elsewhere this evening, but you show it much better, I am sure it will become one of my most used way to tie things up. I guess using this knot, it and a couple of lengths of strong cord you could use it as a way to climb a rope that is secured at top and bottom, or even as a safety line - come fall arrestor? If you did not have something even more secure to use, like perhaps Prussic knots made with loops of strong cord, or made for purpose arrest devices .! 🙄 Stay safe, regards Niels.👍
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?
Great Video - super instructions. Especially the examples, because: what is it good to know, how to make the hitch, but having no idea for what and when to use it?👍👍👍👍 Greetings Christian 🙂
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.
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.
All British fire brigade recruits are/were taught to tie this knot. We use it to haul a length of hose up a building then tie off the line in the building or to the ladder. Nothing like the pressure of tying it to a hose in front of an assessing officer and a squuad of old firemen.
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!
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.
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.
@@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 :)
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?
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 !
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?

I've been tying knots for years, but I like how your videos show practical uses for them... something many books/guides lack when showing how to tie.
Its always a good day when The Bear Essentials uploads

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.
Outstanding videos in his whole channel!
RUclips randomly advertised me this video. Now I applied this knowledge to my pants and it's working wonders.
Yes!! This makes me so happy haha
All British fire brigade recruits are/were taught to tie this knot. We use it to haul a length of hose up a building then tie off the line in the building or to the ladder. Nothing like the pressure of tying it to a hose in front of an assessing officer and a squuad of old firemen.
Going to try with pants. Seems really convenient
Going to start practicing this one right away. Seems like a good one to know!
Awesome!! im glad
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
The knot with 101 uses, thanks as always for the info', DJ.
Ya!! And I’m sure people will add in a few more uses too!!
My pleasure and thx for watching
DJ… when are the bow saws gonna be available again? Id love to see a complete bundle option, Bowsaw, Axe w/cover & sharpener, and sling
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!
@@TheBearEssentials sound like an opportunity to collaborate. It’d be cool to buy a bundle that supports multiple creators.
It's a great knot. I will be using it. thanks.
I use the bajeezus out of this knot. Well, the taut line, but it's the same knot except that it resists loosening better.
Yupp! Does the same stuff, taut line generally attached to itself too
Great good information. Thank you buddy. Excellent
I use Blake's hitch. Will try your's now, thx.
P.S.: 03:17 wrogn hitch direction, i think
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.
How does the Rolling Hitch compare to the Taut-Line Hitch? What are some of the situations where you'd prefer one over the other?
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._
@@TheBearEssentials Thanks!
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
@@EinonvanTassel yes at 1:34 I explain this in layman’s terms :)
"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.
What kind of rope and diameter is the green rope? I’ve been looking for a good rope for knot practice. Cheers!
Oh thank you, someone who knows the difference between a knot and a hitch
I use them interchangeably at times just for general public to understand.
Great knot! Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome!
I really thought you were going to say your favorite use was "hitting that like and subscribe button". Thanks for the vid
Lmfaoo! I’m defs going to do that next vid. That’s hilarious
Nice, it’s kinda like the love child of the clove hitch and the taut line hitch.
best description ever 😂
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 :)
I'm so glad I've found your channel, absolutely brilliant content my man. Love it. Sub deployed.
Fantastic Video! Thanks!
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?
Looks very similar to the adjustable grip hitch; or is that the same as the midshipman's hitch?
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 !
Thank you...Knots are tight!
Np!
Great knot/video!
Excellent! Thank You.
You’re very welcome!
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?
Haha that’s amazing I didn’t know, and I totally see it now
