In this video I demonstrate how to make a simple, temporary ladder using the marline spike hitch. A few ways of tying the marline spike hitch: • Marline spike hitch Enjoy!
EXCELLENT.....EXCELLENT....EXCELLENT....I've watched 3 other videos of home-made rope emergency ladders and yours is the ONLY ONE that actually explains and SHOWS CLEARLY what has to be done. No un-necessary talk or elaborate historical explanations....just get on with the job. I'm SO grateful you took the time to do this for us. We own a large 3 story house and this will permit us to not worry about escape if we ever need to....and I truly hope we never need to use it but just having this and practising using it will make our lives so much easier.

These tricks are old,but in the modern world,it has been lost.Nowdays,children r busy in their phones.Atleast I will encourage my children to not only see these tubes more but to practice it too.As by doing so,they will be becoming more creative. Thank you so much.
What I also found was when you slip the loop over the end of the rod if you put a twist in it (as I accidentally did) before you slide it over, you end up with a constrictor knot. This works quite well because when you pull the rope ladder up and there is no tension on the hitches the rods are less likely to fall out as the constrictor knot holds them firmly in place. Also they are easy to undo when you pull the rods out.
Notches in the sticks, where the knots tighten, can aid in keeping the ropes from sliding on the sticks. Can definitely help with safety and convenience (as long as you don't notch them _too_ much)
Thank you so much for this descriptive video shown so clearly , I needed this to make a small ladder for my Budgies using ice-cream sticks . Love love 💝💝💝💙💙💙
Many thanks for this excellent idea and well detailed illustration how to create a rope ladder. Thank You for this very useful and bright idea that you have presented.
How well would this work with nylon or polyester rope and square aluminum tubing? It looks like a very easy and practical ladder. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Tried doing it with some paracord and some dowels that were laying around. Hitches came loose very easily under strain. I'm guessing it's probably way more secure with the kind of rope he's using.
The initial larks head could be made much more simply: once the bight has been threaded through the ring, open it and flip it over the ring. No lengthy feeding through needed.
Vielen Dank für das Video. Es ist eine sehr einfache und gute Anleitung. Wer mehr Sicherheit möchte, kann die Knoten mit einer Polyester Schnur ( 1 mm ) sichern, dann kann auch das Holz nicht raus fallen beim aufrollen der Leiter.
You don't need to pass the whole long rope through the ring to attach both. Fold the rope in half, feed it though the ring, bend the rope over the superior part of the ring and pull upside the superior part of the ring. Both will attach. Or in other words; fold the rope in half, feed it though the ring, and pass the ring through the loop.
A nice simple knot with a good use. I might add that the wood needs to be inspected each time along with the rope. It won't do to break your step in two.
Thanks a lot Mark. I finally managed to make my own monkey ladder. It would be great for climbing a low branch of a tree during hunting. I think, if I may suggest, the most suitable rope size is not less than 12mm and made of sisal.. Happy climbing guys.
For reasons unbeknownst to me I find that 6mm accessory climbing rope is by far cheaper than any natural material of similar strength. And of course it is more abrasive, water, sun etc resistant. It is just uglier in general.
Love your accent and teaching style. The pacing is perfect for me. ❤️

Thank you Mark for this simple and easy explanation on making a hitch ladder for out in the forest where it might be useful. Just awesome!
Watching you tie those knots the rope ladder is so satisfying!
no it isn't
Awesome. I was planning to make a ladder from twigs for climbing plants in my garden. Thank you so much. This is very helpful.
These tricks are old,but in the modern world,it has been lost.Nowdays,children r busy in their phones.Atleast I will encourage my children to not only see these tubes more but to practice it too.As by doing so,they will be becoming more creative.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. I keep learning new things everyday.
I'm my kids heroe because of guys like you, sometimes.

Thank you so much mark... Leart this for life. Will use when required...thank you so much
Awesome video, very well laid out. Thank you.

Fantastic add on.
Saw the video just now, but had exactly the same idea! Adding a twist to the loop, makes the construction much more stabile
Sir...you need to run for President.
I done the same thing by accident😂😂 I bet a lot of these knots we have today were discovered by accident
Thank you Mark, very well and clearly demonstrated!
Notches in the sticks, where the knots tighten, can aid in keeping the ropes from sliding on the sticks. Can definitely help with safety and convenience (as long as you don't notch them _too_ much)
Good idea! Cutting out "notches", where the rope can rest, as for the finish end?
I'd end it the same way, as in the video with a "diamond knot!"

Diamond knot?
Great video, will be very helpful
Bro this video is so useful for me. 👍👍👍👍 Thanks👍👍👍👍
exelente muchas gracias desde Guatemala
why did it take me so long to figure out how to not tie constrictor knot? I must be a muppet
Well done!! good job thank you for sharing
Thank you for video very interesting!
This is very helpful ,thank u
A nice simple knot with a good use. I might add that the wood needs to be inspected each time along with the rope. It won't do to break your step in two.
Indeed, an important step!
Mark
Very well explained
If I'm ever shipwrecked on a deserted island, I now know how to make a rope ladder for my tree house! :)
Woww nice survival technic's thank's for sharing these.. God bless..
I wish I had known how to do this ladder when I was a kid! Think of all the kewl stuff I could have gotten myself out of!
Think of all the kewl trouble you could have gotten into!
Useful at any place.👌
Thank you São Paulo Brasil.
Thanks. Simple and quick
Thanks a lot Mark. I finally managed to make my own monkey ladder. It would be great for climbing a low branch of a tree during hunting.
I think, if I may suggest, the most suitable rope size is not less than 12mm and made of sisal.. Happy climbing guys.

It would be cute (at least it is desirable for me) you to be the hunted animal... And.., why not..??
Gostei muito, tá de parabéns
Thanks for the good info on this
Wow thanks for this nw learning skills. New fan here Lalaine Lee.
Frumosss. Felicitari din Germania !!!
Good job never saw that before.
What a great survival video now I have a way to get to my hammock up high in the tree video downloaded
2:00 it’s much easier to circle the loop around the ring than to stretch the entire rope through the loop))))
really good tutorial!
Clear and concise 👍🏻
Very easy to understand
Smart I ve ever seen...thanks
you got a pretty end knot !
Очен поучительно ! Спасибо!
Thank you, this is very helpful. There is an easier way to tie ring on rope bight.
Push loop through and fold around ring. :^))
It can be untied same way, not very reliable knot.
Great video, Congrats!
old boy scout says thanks for the memories.
Excellent 👍
Very nice ladder.
Excellent!
I need this ladder to climb down into a steep ravine. Also working on a steep bank. Thank you.
I wanted a knot which i could use for pullup... And also change the height for variations..
Big big help... Thankyou
Thanks
Very nice and useful
Mi amigo muy bueno grasias éxitos
Great skills ...thanks.
