This is not the first video on this topic, but it is probably the most thorough. The Siberian hitch, or 'Evenk knot' is now very popular with people learning bushcraft, but all the instructions I have seen for it treat it as a unique and mysterious knot created by a magical arm movement. In fact it is quite a conventional knot - a slipped figure of eight, with a captured standing end. Here I go through the technique of tying one, and break down the stages into many constituent parts. People familiar with knots with know most of what I say already, and perhaps could watch the video from about 6.26 if they just want to see the technique for this specific knot.
I may do more knot videos. I haven't decided yet.

_"I will explain knots in what some people will think of as insulting detail."_
When it is done for absolute beginners, it is not insulting, but enlightening.
Signed: An absolute beginner.
No idea why I'm watching a video about tying a knot but everything lindybeige uploads is absolute gold so here I am
hazardousmeatball I was thinking the same :D
hazardousmeatball As it said ''its not what you saying its how you saying'' well at least something like that ;D
hazardousmeatball Same here, but I did take a little look around my house to see if I had something random to practice this with but nope
hazardousmeatball its alot like /r/mildlyinteresting in truth
After watching this video, I've forgotten how to tie my shoelaces.
TadRaunch I don't often literally laugh out loud at a comment, but this one worked. Two beige points.
Lindybeige It's nice how we have to explain it like this instead of using the common internet abbreviation "lol" which now means slightly funny or is just a mark that you acknowledged someones joke.
Lindybeige I think the GBP is strengthening every day. Great Beige Point that is.
Thanks a lot for this. My reindeer was often getting away from me.
Now I don't have to tie it up with rope and cut it with a longsword when I want to free it.
XD
that was a perfectly good piece of rope! why would you cut it?
It's amazing how your channel has no real concept and jumps from martial arts to history, to knots, to language to boardgames etc. but somehow I enjoy almost all of your videos! :D
I've been learning knots off an on for a few months from a book. But this has taught me more in 11 minutes than the hours of reading I've done. It's very obvious that teaching is your profession, could we have more videos like this please?
The first knot-tying tutorial I have ever seen that explains the theory, instead of merely giving steps to memorize. Bravo!
You are a fantastic teacher, you are not boring and always enthused about your subject matter, you break a subject down and explain it in a fantastically lateral manner, and because of this I now love knots.
Only Lindybeige could get people to watch him tie knots for 11 minutes and make it entertaining, only Lindy.
As a scout, I have always struggled with knots, never understood them really. But I love your thought process! If you would do a series of tutorials on them, I'd be sure to watch it!
Same here! Knots were tough, but I think your simple tips are really helpful, especially the bit about the 360 degree twist!
Szilárd Hompoth Yeah, knot tying instructions in books were always a pain
Szilárd Hompoth If you haven't yet, take the pioneering merit badge. You get knots hammered into you and at the same time, you build cool things like rope bridges.
Smithy0013 You get knots hammered into you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Explanations can be so simple if the right people give them.
I hike in -40 weather, and you have just changed my life. Thank-you Sir!
You should make a series on knot tying, this is fantastic
Best knot tutorial ever. I wish I had had you back when I was trying to memorize fishing knots.
Quite educational for a complete layman on knots, like me! Thumbs up.
I spent 15 years in Search and Rescue...5 years teaching rope, knots,slings,anchoring, and rigging to newbies. Your explanation of knots is by far the clearest I've ever run onto! .....Thanks for your video.
I don't know what you do for a living, but you would make a perfect teacher. You always manage to make me interested in things that I would otherwise declare as the definition of boring. It's not that I'm not interested in history, but I never thought "Hey, I should really check out the military history of Malta", if you didn't make a video about that. I really like that!
Also English is not my mother tongue, hence I apologize for my weird sentences.
Shruikan272 School isn't designed to make you interested in anything, people in general if they just try to explain something they do it very well.
Thinking about it, it's the teacher which should be interested in the topic in the first place, not the student.
If you are learning English, then you are doing very well. I could hardly tell anything off about it, and I'm a native speaker. You're doing a much better job then when I tried to learn French. >.<
Je parle tres mal français. :(
Iconoclasm_ Moi, je desteste parler en Français parce que je suis tres .. um.. bad at learning new languages. The internet helped me with my English though xD
Shruikan272 Yeah, I think learning a new language when you are older is challenging. It helps when you are surrounded by people who speak it, though. What is your native language, if I may ask?
Iconoclasm_ My native language is German ^~^
This is the best knot video l've ever seen. I love how you break it down. It wasn't insulting at all to see you talk about what goes into a knot. Very informative.
Yes! Someone who explains by EXPLAINING HOW A THING WORK! About time!
you are a good teacher
That was the best break down ever. But, I was having a hard time until the first person view. Excellent. Thanks a bunch.
Extremely good presentation, both the background information and actual tying of the knot were top-notch. Many teachers would have a thing or two to learn from you.
It's VERY helpful for the standing end not to be able to move too easily.
Can you give me a in-depth explanation of how to tie a tie? I always seem to forget after a week or thee :)
DaveMoustache Step one, get a BOW tie.
Lindybeige bow ties are cool!
DaveMoustache There are many ways to tie a tie. Each have their own style, but a tie knot is always some form of slip knot. The main factor to a tie knot is the type of collar you have. When I was in the military the two authorized knots for my dress uniform were the Windsor and Half-Windsor and these two are what I use to this day. There are some tie knots that, in my opinion, look more elegant than a bow tie. There are many instructions you can find online and practice, practice, practice.
Amirul Syafiq As are fezes :)
Lindybeige I would love a video on how to tie a bow tie.
This is by faaaaaar the best video of how to tie a knot i've ever seen! Didn't skip! Very interesting facts about how knots work! Now I understand...Tnx Lindy!
Fascinating! I have been using the Siberian hitch regularly for years now, but I've never realized it actually was a figure-of-eight.
Breaking the knot down into its component parts for remembering in future was very enlightening. I’ve recently learnt the Siberian hitch but after watching this I now fully understand what it is I’m actually tying and know I can tie it without the fancy hand movements if I forget them in future! Thank you!
Thanks for that clear instruction. I learnt the figure 8 knot from a book about 23 years ago and have been using their instruction of "forming an Ampersand" that entire time. I very frequently formed the upper loop in the wrong direction. Your explanation has made everything much clearer.
Best instructional knot video I've seen. It used to seem like there was an awful lot to remember to tie anything but an overhand knot or a shoelace, but now it seems simple.
Good video Lindy, although I don't appreciate the loud fake reindeer sound, it scared off my real reindeer and now it went astray.
You should have tied it securely to your foot.
Tyler McHenry hop hey hoo
3alzaphon You called?
Summoning is completed
Whamosser should have tied it to a tree.
As a long time commercial fisherman, it is rare to encounter a new knot that is good and simple enough to be worth learning. I've learned and forgotten many clever knots which didn't really do much a more common simple knot would do. Almost every task in the real world can be done with some combination of a bowline, a love knot (for a quick and dirty permananent splice), a double clove hitch (tend to work loose if the load shifts about) figure eights on a bite (great for tensioning a logger hitch mid cord, but not self-releasing.) p.s. there are several clever mitten type tricks for whipping a line around an object into a bowline, throwing a loop and then throwing another loop through it in such a way that it forms a bowline as the whole rope sails through air and lands as a handy loop around a cleat or piling. Another one called a safety bowline is a method by which you can near instantaneously form a bowline tied around your waist in a couple deft motions.
That was the absolute best knot demonstration I've ever seen. I watch quite a lot of 'bush craft' type channels in which knot tying is commonly demonstrated. You sincerely have them beat for clarity. Thanks so much ( i'm going to search to see if you've done any others)
I just discovered your channel a while ago and I've been stuck in my chair watching your videos for maybe two hours now.
I would just like to say that you're awesome and your content is splendid!
Kind regards,
Sixten.
The word "Education is made up of two Latin "root words" which according to the Merriam Webster dictionary simply means to, " lead someone out of ignorance" thank you I have been enlightened by your video on one of my very Favorite knots...I love simplicity and detail...
I've happened upon your videos by accident three times in the last week (the one about mail coifs, the one about British "R" pronunciation and now this one), and have found them well-presented and informative in each case. The one about "No X in the corridor" was also a delight. You now have one more subscriber, appreciating the effort you put in. Thank you!
BEST. Knot-tying video. EVER!
Teaching to invoke a deep understanding - Lindy WINS! Thank you sir!
Interestingly enough, this was the first Lindybeige video I had seen before falling in love with the random and fascinating topics this channel covers.
I don’t fully understand Lindybeige, but truly, I have seen his sole.
1:42 Explains exactly why I always forget my knots.
Just need to dive deeper . . . and . . . I think I just found my teacher!!!!
Your explanation of tiring those knots are in such great detail that you seem to make tiring knots so much easier to learn, great video !!
The patch on your shoe sole is a nice touch. I appreciate people who are thrifty.
Lindy - a most excellent video, thank you. How coincidental also as I was just thinking yesterday how I would explain how to tie a bowline to an employee. Feynman said if he could not explain the subject matter to his first year physics students in terms of first order principles, it proved that the subject wasn't fully understood. Anyone can show you how to tie a knot, you showed how to think about how knots work. Bravo!
By far the best knot tutorial I have ever seen
Wish I could give you two likes. Been wanting to learn this for ages. You put it across so simply; judging by some of the other videos I've seen, this isn't easily done.
Holy moly , this is another excellent and easy way of knotting sybirian hitch . Thanks for the video
I use this knot for my hammock setup. Learned it from this video when it came out, and remembered the technique and now it's my go-to knot. Thanks
I know how to tie various knots from my time in the boy scouts and military, but I have forgotten most of the names. A lot of these knots came into play when I started in construction for tying off lanyards, hoists, and tie-downs. I feel like I can use this knot at work, especially during winter. Thank you for introducing this to me.
I love how so many knots are related, and you can learn more knots by learning ways to vary or modify knots you currently know.... And much like you said, if you learn how they're made, how they really work, you can better understand them, better remember them, but more-importantly, recognize when something's gone wrong and how to make it right.
Another great example of this is the shoelace tie, which is actually a double-slip square-knot.... Some people have a lot of issues with their shoes coming untied, this is because they got their "left-over-right, right over left" mixed up and are making a double-slip granny knot.
Of course a granny knot, or "false square knot" isn't nearly as secure as a true square knot, and so it is that people who don't get the order right when tying their shoes still make a knot that "looks" like a shoelace tie, but isn't nearly as secure, it comes loose.
This is the only video that actually taught me how to tie a know and understand how to do it. Thank you Lloyd
Very good! I have been a boyscout in my childhood and youth. Knots were an important part and had usage with tents and other "nature"-stuff. But only in recent years have I come to appreciate the skills and knowledge of knots in my everyday life, for example in running a household.
That keeps particularly crafty and elusive tree varieties in place. Well done.
this is the best video about knots i've ever seen.
That was actually quite a fun learning experience, even for someone who knows his way around a rope. ;-)
That last view looking down at your foot was the best way to show how to tie a knot. As you are looking at exactly what you have to do.
Thanks again for your standstill diagrams, I find these a much needed addition and break from the all moving and cutting around here on youtube.
I, for one, vote for more Lindy knot videos.
Thanks for refreshing my old boy scout knot tying skills.
my grand father used this all the time. he was a Cajun woodworker. I've been using it my whole life
I applause the perfection of the man revealed in the details
It's funny.
I've watched this 2 years ago and found it great, as everything LB does, but it didn't stick with me.
Now I've been practicing knots for a week or so and was having trouble remembering them.
This video popped up, and watching it again fixed everything.
this is the best knot video i've watched
Ah, the end bit where it's shown from the first person was great. I was confused and wasn't able to get it until then, but the first person view made it easy. Excellent explanation sir.
Hi,
Thanks. This was my first ever introduction to the world of knots. I mean, I certainly know a knot or two, but this is the first time I've encountered the theory of knots, as it were.
Highly interesting and practical. I for one would be happy to learn more about this knotty learning.
Anyway, thanks again.
Yours,
Johan
P.S. I got through the whole comment without a pun about knots! Knot so bad if you ask me.
Lindybeige explaining knot theory on a particular example. Now I have seen everything.
GOOD call on "as you see it" perspective. Well done, good pedagogy.
This is a very valid point to any knot in pioneering that Lindy brought up. I hate when people complain at me for calling a knot name differently. example: what I call a granny knot most call a double overhand now a days but you change the second overhand turn around it becomes a reef knot quite easily.
I too am irritated by people that think the same knot being tied in a specific sequence from some supposedly more in-tune / mystic culture to be far more superior then another method to be frankly idiotic! well this is what I assume you are trying to convey Lindy
The Siberian/Evenk knot is perfect example for this and I will use it. thank you.
You "insulting" me with your kindness :-). I don't know, who you are, but you are wise. Thank you
This was really educational; before watching this video I knew quite a lot about tie knots but close to nothing about rope knots. Now I can do the Siberian hitch without a hitch.
I truly appreciate the detail you went into for this, being a newbie it gave me a great understanding of why I was doing something instead of just how. That’s always been an issue for me, if I don’t know why, I’ll never remember it. Thanks!
One of the best videos on youtube. So perfectly explained.
I thought "Great, for beginners!". Then my heart sank when I heard "...that has become popular in recent years, thanks to a chap called Ray Mears..." I honestly thought you were making another rhyming video! Hahah
hellsong23 Is rhyming so terribly bad?
Oh not at all, in fact yours is quite good I think. I meant in the sense of me thinking "oh god I am not going to be able to follow this"
Terrific explanation! You should do more knot videos! Please!! Haha
This was a great video with a great explanation. Wish more people explained stuff like this.
Nice shoes, mate.
Lloyd, thank you very much for this superb demonstration on how to tie a knot. I'd love to watch a video about tying two ropes together.
Last eye view shot of it was very useful, it shows exactly how the bight is pulled through which is something the other view couldn't see.
You did a superb job teaching how to make this type of knot! You are a natural docent...very enjoyable indeed!
Ludwig Spiegel I had to look that word up. Thanks. I think it must be a USA term.
***** In the US, it is mostly just used to describe a tour guide at a museum or historical site. Even then it is not used by many, more often just as a job title rather than in conversations.
Huh! The first time I heard that word was a few hours ago in the new Dan Brown novel Origin (and I wondered about it at the time too). Conc;lusion: Robert Langdon And The Knots Of God (pre-book!).
THe amount I learned for this is amazing haha. I always tried to learn knots for certain things when they arise but always end up forgetting and frustratingly watch and rewatch videos tyring to relearn it. After this vid many months later I now am able to ingrain how to do the knots and no longer forget how to do them which is amazing. Much love for this video!
Once again you manage to teach me something valuable. Keep it up Lindybeige.
I use this a lot, there's no fiddling involved just a few quick hand movements so it becomes pure muscle memory very easily.
The truckers knot is another really useful one that I like.
Yes this is brilliant! Damn thorough way of explaining how this knot works, wish I'd have seen this earlier but I do now have a deeper understanding thanks to this video. I also like the quick release or Horse knot, which is not to be confused with the Highwayman's hitch!
Good demonstration, with details and narration. Now to try to catch that critter in the first place!
I loved the way you presented this knot. Perhaps, I wouldn't want every training to spend that much preliminary times but this one was good. This seems to work good for a ridge line too. This knot is similar to a farrimond knot, but not identical.
really good lesson on knots! I am utterly useless when it comes to tieing things, but I stand a chance now!
Thank you!
I've always had trouble with learning knots, but this was a much better time for me. :D
That is a shockingly useful knot. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, Lindy. Now I'll never forget how to tie this knot. Also, I didn't even know what a figure-8 knot was before this video. I've always just tied square knots in things that I wanted to hold or bowlines when I wanted a fixed loop. I know a few fishing specific knots too.
I like the headphone knot. Very reliable. Just leave your headphones alone for a day, and when you come back, the cord will be so tangled, you'll turn to your stereo in no time!
Lindybeige for MVP.
OMG if you explained surgical knots to me back when I was a student, it would me muuuuch easier to me :D Maybe thats an idea for an another video ;)
Wow, best explanation for anything, ever.
thank you, couldn't tie from book instructions, now I can, thanks again
Thanks for the video. I've never heard of this knot before or I should say this technique to tying it. Where I live much of last winter was -20 F so wearing heavy gloves was vitally important. This could come in handy this winter. Thanks again.
Wow, a nearly a perfect tutorial. If I'm not mistaken, this is the first video of its kind on the internet. Keep it up! :)
This is the best knot video I've ever seen. You're awesome!
You should do more knot videos!!!
Excellent video. Thx for doing it. Knowing what this knot is beyond merely knowing how to tie it efficiently is the best learning. That it is another application of the fig 8 is something i probably would have noticed eventually, but this made it so easy to learn quickly.
Thank you, Lindy. Educational and entertaining as always.
I now forever know how to tie and reconstruct the slipped-figure-of-eight-with-a-captured-standing-end.
I might even add that to the "Additional Information" section of my CV! :P
That's the coolest thing i've seen in awhile!
Extremely good instructions Lloyd
