I enjoy these REI videos as learning devices, but, and it’s not just this video w/Miranda, it is every REI climbing knot video I have watched. It moves a little too fast and the camera angles are too panned out so the viewer can’t really see what is going on with the rope. Most importantly though, all these videos seem to glance over one key step that is required to make the knot work. This isn’t a complaint so much as it is a critique to help make better videos for the viewer. I find myself with REI videos constantly replaying and then, having that “ah ha” moment when I figure out the step they glanced over that is vital for the knot to work. Maybe slow down and have visual graphics on screen of a rope and what is taking place. Just some thoughts from a long time viewer and rock climber.
I disagree, I thought the explanations and footage were very clear. Knots just take practice and if anyone would prefer that to be at snail's pace then just go to settings and play the video at half or quarter speed.
I totally agree!!! I just started watching this video and believe she must be on speeders to be talking so incredibly fast!
During the double fisherman’s, at 3:00, she flips the whole string around. This is important - it allows you to tie the 2nd knot in the same direction as the first knot. If you don’t flip the entire rope around you need to tie the 2nd knot in the opposite direction from the first. For me, it is helpful if these subtleties are expressly called out - it just helps me learn better.
These videos are very helpful, thank you Miranda and REI for putting them together. I am just adding a note to help others, like me who might benefit from calling out all the steps explicitly.
Easy to follow. Nice work!
This is brilliant! Simple. To the point. Well explained. Nail. Head.
Really great tips, guys! Really good introduction
0:13 Love the intro beat🎶
Thanks for these tips....especially the barrel knot.
Great instructions!
Keep up the great work!
Excellent demonstration - thanks!
As a long time (old) experienced climber, Miranda did an excellent job. Besides these 5, I would add a bowline and a 1/2 hitch, but that's just me.
Hi I'm starting off and your instructions are very good 😊
Wow the ghost story for the figure 8 on a bite caught me off guard. I cracked up when I heard it. I usually remember it with "over under over". Great videos from this channel, perfect length and good and to the point explanations
Such a great video - easy and quick
That mnemonic for the figure 8 bight is brilliant
Thanks this video was very informative!!!
Nice demonstration i really like it, thanks!
Great job Miranda!
Thank you so much for explaining me how to do the fisherman knot more easilyy !
I struggled so muuuch trying to learn that knot and I couldn't figure it out what people were dooiing and why I can't make it!
Thank you for the video !
That's great!! We're so glad we could help.
Excellent !
Thanks!
Thank you ! I will practice .Very clear and important …
Glad you found it helpful Christine!
Good stuff! Thank you.
Cheers Mate!
Thank you Very much👍🌹
Best figure 8 instructions ever
Not really, she didn’t dress the figure 8 correctly.
Very cool and thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Great content and presentation. I am working with some 1" webbing i bought at REI and am curious if i can execute these knots with the webbing? I realize that last one might not slide/not slide like intended with the rope but the others? Much thanks.
Much helpful Thankyou 🙏🏻💐
Thanks for watching and happy climbing. 🙌
fantastic
Excellent
Good tips. I will use to climb trees😎
Great video demonstration! Don't forget to dress your knots! :)
Quit easy thanks it's helpful
Liking these vids
“Choke the ghost and poke him in the eye. “ Hilarious! Thanks!
Thank you!
My hiking friend is now my rope friend too!!
Cool thank
Very good...
Thanks a lot maam...
🙌Glad you found it helpful Rene! 🧗♀️
Great life=saving knots.
USEFUL
I like it i am from Algéria, 😀
Best cure for in-home boredom. Get 2-metre lengths of rope, different widths, and practice knot tying, repeatedly. Useful, too.
For safety and self-rescue, you absolutely have to know the Munter hitch and the Mule hitch as well. Add those, and you can get out of some bad spots
especially the munter~
Everyone needs a munter in their life!
Muy buena enseńansa gracias
The pusik hitch..
I never new that had a name.. we use it daily..
it works with minimum 2 wraps.. but go as many wraps as you need if your sling is too long 😂❤
Great
Tq info
for the prusik hitch whats the recommended lenght of the cord ?
Which knot is used for ascending and descending from a tree? Brand new to tree climbing and always have it set up by an experienced climber. The one I'm talking about is pushed up as you climb and will hold if you fall, and you pull down from the top of it to slide down the tree.
You can use 2 Prusiks, explained here ruclips.net/video/bscpdQ6fcPQ/видео.html
Good :)
What brand is the blue rope you use??
I am a deckhand on a fishing boat. We use a similar knot with single overhand knots instead of that and we call it a lovers knot.
“Choke the ghost and then poke em in the eye”!, greatest explanation for completing figure eight🤯
More KNOTS !!! PLz!! ???
What knot would I need to for instance tie it to a tree and abseil down a cliff ? Any help from anyone would be really appreciated .
So to tie a rope around a tree and then hang on to it and lower myself down a cliff ?
I'm nervous about buying rope. I'm not climbing, but only rapelling and I see all kinds of rope out there. I dont want to die. Where can I talk to someone about safe affordable rope for my needs?
If you will only rappeling with your rope you can go for a semi static one. Never climb with it !
Stormwalkerdude static rope is bestfor rappelling. But do not use it for climbing. Dynamic rope is for climbing. Strictly rappelling and not climbing go with static rope in a 10mm + so it will be more durable.
People in good climbing stores or trainers in climbing gyms usally have some good bits to share. It would generally be advisable anyway to gather a bit of your own experience under competent supervision before you just go out and buy something, albeit by recommendation
Did you ever buy a rope? What did you end up with? I read the comments here and I always cringe when people say the words "never" or "only". If you haven't done it yet, I still encourage you. I've personally been climbing, training and running rope rescues for Saint Louis County Rescue Squad, and teaching a low angle rescue course for years. I would certainly ask in person and get some training, maybe through a local climbing gym if you are really unsure, but any name brand, rated rope should work. Static is stronger, but dynamic is also used for rappelling. How else do climbers get back down most of the time?... You can also climb on static. It's doesn't stretch as much as dynamic so it's not safe to lead climb (trad or sport), but you can certainly use if for top roping or redirected top roping. It's what most camps and organizations use because it's stronger, lasts longer, can be purchased by the foot, and they are generally top roping. 10 or 10.5 is common for rappelling. I purchased my first at a climbing store. I bought 70' which was perfect for starting out. 10.5 is rated to about 7600 lbs. In rescue we shoot for a 15:1 safety rating but 12:1 is perfectly acceptable. If you are 200 lbs then you only "need" a 3,000 lb rated rope and a 10.5 would give you 2.5 times that. So, where the safety comes in is less with the actual rope and much more with the anchor selection and setup, padding the edge, and actually using the equipment as designed. You can check out this video I made for some basic explanations and encouragement: ruclips.net/video/RVoze1IpdVI/видео.html
@@AdventuresInReach Actually I bought a static rope to use as a safety line. But I also built a crane hoist that attaches to the reciever hitch on my truck so when we are down in our mineshaft, we can be safely tethered in case for some reason, the ground gives way beneath our feet. Thanks for the helpful tips!
The Machar is a simpler and apparently just as functional version of the last one
The marchand works in one direction only. The prusik in both directions.
מעולה
For me it would have been very useful if you guys gave a more precise explanation, maybe even a short example video of when to use the given knot. I am new to climbing outside so just saying a few words about when to use it does not really help me. Obviously, I can google all these but it would have been a nice resource if it was here, all together. I feel like you have to already have some knowledge about climbing in order to fully utilise this video. And people, who are looking for these videos are usually absolute beginners, like I am, so I don't know for example , what it means to "tie into the middle of the rope" or when climbers do this.
Agreed
Can you belay with the last knot??
💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Where’s the alpine butterfly?! That definitely belongs in the top 5!
Also the Water Knot & Frost Knot...
How do I get a date with Miranda?
We use All in 1999 when im geting taring tanx you rember me
It's scary how often people don't tie a knot to the end of a rope when belaying or rappelling. (The subtitles have it spelled "repelling" in this vid)
You need to know when it is beneficial, and when it is not. Sometimes it can even be more dangerous to tie a knot at the end.(like rapping into water)
@@jaredhenderson6163 putting that rare example aside, I see people rapping with open ends all the time.
What did she call the third knot?
She called it the "Barrel Knot". It's also called the "triple overhand stopper" (seems most common) or even the "triple overhand noose knot".
Hanya saran saja , sebaiknya di dalam vidio di sertai bahasa indonesia jadi bagi meraka yg tidak paham betul bahasa inggris bisa tau apa yg sedang di bicarakan.
Nice vidio
what are these knots for?
No water knot? It’s crucial for webbing...
Should note for people to remember that the knots on the double fisherman are barrel knots....they are just tied around another rope
also worth mentioning that the way your wrap your barrels on the double fishmerman need to be opposite of each other so that the barrels line up with you pull them together rather than forming a "V" between them.....these are important details
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You look great :)
Figure 8 on a bight is KNOT what you tie into the middle of a rope with.
That's correct. Use a bowline on a bight.
Knot ! Alpine butterfly
Nothing wrong with a figure 8 on the bight, it's safe and secure. However I prefer to use an Alpine Butterfly knot.
It depends how the knot will be loaded. If you tie a figure eight on a bight knowing it will only be loaded in one direction - on its major axis - there is nothing wrong with it. If there is a chance the knot will be loaded in two directions a butterfly will be a better choice.
@@CanyonsCrags you mean a directional figure 8 would be useful? Wouldn't this be similar to using a butterfly
Great tips, wanna to see you climbing Yosemitte to really prove your experience
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just a warning the prusik bites hard I prefer the michokhan or VT for anyone who weighs a bit more or is climbing anything with a lot of pitch
A pity on the barrel knot you didn't use different coloured ropes. I am confused by what you did...will look at other RUclips videos.
Commonly
I will never forget how to tie a figure 8 again.
Harness
As a ghost identifying person, I'm pretty miffed at this.
make the ghost...choke the ghost...and poke him in the eye ..funny :D
Bro the Barrell knot had me lost far longer than I wanna admit
Why aren't we calling it a chase eight anymore?
GONDOLA
The figure 8 on a bight almost looks the same as a bowline..
No butterfly??
Poke him in the eye.👍
Bowline?
its the same knot four times, with different uses. the barrel knot just has one extra wrap to it.
Choke the ghost
Great knots, but a bit too quick to follow for me.
"...five most commonly used knots for climing. Now, I'm KNOT going..."
-Maranda
ALWAYS do a half hitch to back up a clove hitch
boring video but watched whole thing
i have to watch this for PE :( end my misery
im scared of hEiGhTs
I love knotty chicks 😂
(Sry had to do it ❤✌🤘🤪)
Clove hitch for climbing? I haven’t found it reliable for anything.
I do. But mostly for rapelling.
Agreed. I've seen plenty of people use it like when a lead climber reaches the top of a pitch and uses it to tie into the anchor and belay from. I don't like how they sometimes slip. The time savings is so negligible that I don't bother. I don't use it for much more than tying a "ghosty" into a tarp with a torn grommet.
Don and Adventures in Reach...
The clove hitch is the quickest and most reliable connection point a climber can use to go direct into an anchor. You're tethering yourself to the anchors using the strongest softgood you have on you, your rope! It is easily adjusted to shorten or lengthen the tether and once tightened will NEVER slip.
The only time I do not use it to attach to the anchor is when I am rappelling a single pitch or series of rappels. (since you need the end of the rope to feed through the anchors.
