and as always....
Stay in the Woods,
Dan
I'm watching this at midnight, saving it and definitely watching it in the morning! My dad's motto was always, "if you can't tie a knot, tie a lot", haha!
Hey Dan, I just have to say that I bought your Bushcraft for Kids book for my almost 8 year old nephew this past summer. He loves it still. Tonight, I was browsing through it myself. You did an excellent job with that book. It's so informative, understandable and the colored pictures are wonderful.
A round turn and 2 half hitches while similar is easier to tie and untie under load.
Just looked up the book and going to order it for my kids! Looks really interesting and perfect for them.
Thanks 🙏🏻. Was a Boy Scout over 50 years ago and have since forgotten most of the dozen or so knots 🪢 I had learned. Thanks for a great explanation of a very useful knot 🪢 that many will find to be helpful.
This is exactly why I tell folks they need to get a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots. If you're camping or building a homestead or just tinkering in general... you need a copy of the ABOK. It's hard to express just how powerfully useful that book is, and you'll love having it to read by the fire!
Try the maritime book of knots and fancy rope work!
@@bobvisser8689 I'll look it up. Thanks.
It's too expensive. I would love to have a copy, but it's outrageous.
Yay thank you. This is going in my “Knots” playlist.
There are other knots that are used for the same purpose. They also have two wraps around the metal ring, and the knot is tight up against the ring to reduce movement and resist chafing. I was a chief engineer at sea for twenty years and now live completely off grid.
Remember, if you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot of them!
What are some alternatives you recommend?
Thank you.
I don't have my 17ft.trailer-sailor anymore. But this knot is a winner.
I find a lot of stuff by accident but I found your channel through newswatch 16 WNEP Pennsylvania outdoor life thing they did on you a few years ago. I live nearby up in northeast PA, maybe one of these days I'll make it down there for a class or a course I do some of this on my own but definitely don't know hardly anything compared to those of you that actually do it routinely and know these things from doing them...
I found this knot on the Knots 3D app about a year ago and have been using it to tie cordage to carabiners (for ridge lines, bear bag hangs, etc). Good stuff.
This a great know to know for sure! Hope your week is absolutely blessed Mr.Dan! Watching from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in Canada! Cheers, Jerbs 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
I'm a knot nerd myself. I too will sit and practice knots. This one's a good simple effective knot, thanks for this.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your skills
So many uses for this knot. Thanks for sharing, keep on doing that thing you do.
Nice to see these old knots come back again. I was shown this in the boy scouts when I was 11 or 12 - I’m 76 now. We called it a round turn and two half-hitches.
The anchor hitch is the first proper knot I learned to do followed by the bowline !
My favourite is the buntline hitch, when easy untying is not necessary. It's like a mirrored two half hitches, but way stronger (up to too strong...) and you are also able to tie a slipped version. Anchor hitch is perfect for temporary tying and seems more secure than two half hitches.
Your knot tutorials are some of the best out there.
I love this knot because it's so simple to teach people AND the more load you apply to the knot, the more secure it is because it just bites down harder on itself! But it still can be untie fairly easily...
Another really good anchor knot is the bunt line hitch... Although... It is a tougher knot to untie after a heavy load
I use this knot on my adventures all the time!❤❤❤❤❤
I soooo love learning easy knots to remember, that are elegant in form, and effective in funtion. Thank You! Been sitting here playing with it now for a couple minutes after you showed how, and its already an old friend that I'll probably use a lot!!! Brillant!
Love your content brother! Very best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
This is a perfect complement to the bowline! Gonna give it a try on my adventures!
Short, sweet, and to the point. Keep it up and stay in the woods!
I think your greatest asset is your teaching ability.
On the first thing you said, I found your channel many years ago, I was looking up how to tan a hide, I think it was before you were on Alone, but I’ve been following you ever since.
Thanks for many years of stuff to pass onto my children, and making camp more enjoyable.
thank you for sharing Dan.
Found you years back & still LEARNEN & ENJOYEN ! TAKE CARE..
Good stuff Dan - will visit more.
It's always fun to listen to your jokes Dan
I have a 3m pieces of rope beside my chair for practicing knots I learn on YT like this one. Thanks again.
Outstanding sir! Thanks for another great knot for the arsenal!!
Great job and explanation I like knowing how to tie many different knots and when to use them. I chuckled when you said you tie an anchor to a line then I laughed out loud when you said you tie hard objects to a line. Everybody understands what you said no problem, keep up the good work. It's people like you and your content that make youtube great!
Great tip Dan 👍
Nice knot.
I need to learn this one and the Siberian hitch.
Dan ..u r the man n just hit another 1 out of the park !!! Thnx much n be well.
Looks great Dan. Thanks and take care..
Thank you Dan. Definitely keeping this one in my toolbox!!
That was clear and concise explanation on a very useful knot! I’ll be using that one ! Thanks so much, I liked your song, you do you!
Thank you. I had not seen this knot before. Will definitely give it a try
I'm using this knot a lot in my bushcraft camp! I was doing it a bit differently but I think your way works better. Thanks!
Thank you for teaching me a new knot. I have been using the bowline for years as my go-to knot.
Definitely gonna keep this one in my back pocket. I usually just throw a bowline knot on most things but this anchor hitch will definitely come in handy in the right circumstances.
If you want to check out another really sweet knot, look up the "taughtline hitch"
The bowline works for most things, but if you don't want your rope to run or move, the fixed loop on the bowline doesn't help. Usually, I use either the round turn two half or the anchor bend.
You can hitch to the object using whichever hitch is best suited, and the finish with two half hitches like what is shown. Works with a large variety of hitches on the ring, depending on how permanent it needs to be, whether the ring should slip or not, or how quickly it should be to untie.
Thanks for this. I think I found your channel years ago by looking for actual uses for knots. It's easy to find videos showing how to tie knots, but it's much harder to find videos for how and when to use a particular knot.
New knots have always been a struggle for me to learn. Thanks for the new tool!
I found your channel a little over 2 years ago. I was looking for Boilo recipes and yours is the best. I live up in Wayne county but for almost 5 years I worked out of Harrisburg and drove on 81 quite a bit. I love your channel and the Boilo I make has become very popular. I first saw a story on WNEP 16 and headed to the State Store for several bottles of Four Queens. I even brought a bottle down to my son and daughter-in-law for thanksgiving and made some. Happy New Year!
Nice one!! I've been using the snuggle hitch but this one is much easier to tie and to remember. Thanks!
Yes that is a very secure positive knot to a fixture.
Thanks
That's a nice knot
Very well taught
Thx Dan!
Thanks for the video! Your knot-tying steps were very clear and easy to follow. :)
Knot only is that knot just a good knot, its a great knot!! 😁 Knot too shabby!!
Great video and information.
YES! Oh man, so often I've wondered "what is THE knot" to ties things to things. Legendary knot. Thank you
Double wrap; double half hitch putting first hitch through both wraps. Excellent. Won't ever forget. Thanks!
Thank you Dan really well explained and much appreciated 👍
I try to write it down stage by stage in a small notebook
Stay well all 👍🙂🇬🇧
I used to teach knots and pioneering at a boy scout camp years ago and always love a good knot video! You have a great way of teaching and showing the knot, thanks for making this video! I never knew this knot, but it's basically two half hitches with an extra loop to keep the rope from slipping. I'm definitely going to use this next time I go camping.
That's a great knot, thank you!
Great information as always. Thanks 😊
Thank you for sharing.
Great knob very much needed, Thanks
Actually found you because Sean Kelly from corporals corner, said to check out your channel in one of his videos I've been watching his channel for like 10+ years now. Pretty sure he mentioned your channel more than once? Anyways I seen a ton of your shows now and I'm here to stay.
Just as an aside, if you look at any older type anchor that has been cast, the inside of the ring is shaped like an "M" that is smoothed down. This is to help the rope stay in place while a sailor is tying the anchor knot. More modern anchors are meant to use chains so don't have/need this feature but the older style anchors still do.
Great knot
Good stuff!
I saw the picture of the knot and knew it was an anchor hitch - That is an unusual knot to see on RUclips. It is a good knot - good presentation.Good on ya, from one knot head to another. ;-)
Beautiful And elegant knot.....thank you for sharing. Love it.. i have been wanting a knot just like that one.
Also a great knot for temporarily tying a toggle onto the end of your rope. If one end already has a loop tied in it like a bowline, then the toggle on the other allows for attaching multiple ropes together. thanks for the video.
Good tutorial. Knots are very useful.
I learned of your channel from Townsends, and stayed for the excellent content.
AWESOME, Thank You very much Sir! I'm a bush-crafting beginner enthusiast and I love Your way of teaching, fast, efficient, no time wasted. After checking a lot of tutos, I've just find Yours today and I'm gonna stick to Your channel, I've just subscribe now! Again, Thanks very much for sharing Your knowledge! Greetings from France ^_^
Excellent and simple!
Thank you for this video.
I have a copy of the "Clifford W. Ashley Book Of Knots." Sometimes referred to as the CWABOK, it contains thousands of knots both useful and decorative. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in knots.
The Anchor Hitch is indeed a splendid knot.
Again, thank you for this video.
ABoK 1723 Anchor Hitch or Fisherman's Bend
I always tell people to get the ABoK. Greatest book to have in the library, imo. Practicing Marlinspike Seamanship is a great way to decorate your equipment, too. Mikko Snellman has a fantastic channel here on YT that you should check out. His vids on making pine tar and birch tar are exceptional.
@@threeriversforge1997 The books by Hervey Garret Smith are great for full project skills with canvas, sail twine, cord and rope.
His books include full plans and techniques for things like canvas buckets and sea bags.
The Arts Of The Sailor and The Marlinspike Sailor are a couple. You could take the techniques and use them to make haversacks and things like that.
That is fantastic. Thanks!
Badass knot! I will practice this thanks man!
Now I can finally secure my tent with an anchor. Take that, blustery gale! 😄
Thanks again!
Found you while watching Dave Canterbury. You were recommended.
Clear and concise. Thanks
Good. Thanks. Great knot to add to the toolbox.
Dan, your awesome and you crack me up🤭👍🤟 love your videos, always have............ great sense of humor too😅😁
Simple, clear explanation of how to tie this knot.
Thanks Dan, I needed to know that.
Thankyou 😊. I now love it too!
Love it!!!
Great knot to know for sure
Excellent video. I've always used a round turn with two half hitches. The advantage is it can be removed while under load. Kinda like the difference between a clovehitch and a constrictor knot.
Would this anchor hitch be more secure under varying conditions (load - unload on the line) then the 2 half hitches?
@@wholegrain27 Sorry to take so long to get back to you. This just showed up in my feed today.
Anyhow, there is little difference between the two. The anchor bend takes an additional pass through the anchor ring before being tied off. The anchor bend is a full turn and two half hitches as opposed to a turn and two half hitches. Since the strain is on the line and not the bitter end, it can be released under load. Once it's tied, it won't loosen with strain and lull.
Good knot to know for us 4WD enthusiasts and also for cutting trees.
Nice! I'd forgotten about the anchor hitch!
Excellent!
Thanks! I ‘ll go check it out.
I love this guy.
Anchor Hitch is a solid one.
Great knot! Stay in the woods!
Oh had I discovered this knot as a young man...!
Love it! Its Simple Big thanks!
Love that knot
Well done. One of the most important features of that knot is that it retains 100% of its strength...meaning the line is not cutting itself under load. Cheers!
thanks for sharing
I found you when you did the videos with Townsends. That cordage video was really good.
Thank you -- good info. Now, I can do it.
Turbo-sized Two Half Hitches?! Love it, thanks!!
