Another vote for Zeppelin bend for joining. It's the perfect bend knot. Strong, secure, symmetrical, and very easy to untie. Love the carabiner trick. Hadn't seen that before.
E-bikes, which are known to be in the 70lbs + weight range, seem to shift side to side at turns. A static loop on those handlebars and seat post is needed. Also, I'd love to see two bikes side by side :D
• 👍🏻"Dit gaan nêrens nie" in Afrikaans (South Africa). Literally, "That's going nowhere". Or "Finished and klaar" .. klaar is Afrikaans for finished. • 3:36 Sheet bend or Zeppelin bend. • And great idea, the focus on applied knotting .. _knotting ventured, knotting gained_ 👍🏻 • Also, instead of joining the two ropes and then tensioning them, you could simply end the first rope at the carabiner, and tension the second rope there too.
The knot I would have used is a single fisherman's knot. I'm actually getting carabiniers as part of my truck bag EDC. And I already have 50' of paramax and a marlin spike that I ordered from Awesome For Sale in my center console storage!
@@james1795 in this instance, I think it would have been fine. I've used it plenty with 100% success. If my life were on the line (which, one time it literally was), I'd use a double fisherman's knot. It saved my life when I was stranded on a mountain side with night coming.
First knot an anchor knot? I tie down my bike so differently, butt I think because I have tool boxes and spare in bed with it. This gives me good ideas my friend. Thanks for this video 😊
What is the purpose of using two Carabiners? Is it a property of the two together have a wider profile and it's needed with the thicker rope? Could this be accomplished with one Carabiner using 550 paracord?
It basically doesn't work with just one carabiner because the self-tensioning loop slides through itself; the second carabiner provides a "flat surface" that the rope can grip against. He showed the principle by looping around a round pipe and a rope has no surface to bind against, and slips right off, but wrap it around a square pipe and the corner acts as a pinch-point for the rope to bind against itself.
@@tribalismblindsthembutnoty124 We refill 3 or 4 40 lbs tanks at a time and they do not fit into the backseats with or without my dogs (who come along to help and supervise). I need a dependable way to tie them into the back "trunk" of my Honda Odyssey minivan. I might mention that I'm in my late 50's and lifting filled tanks in and out of the van's trunk is about as much as I can manage.
Check out his video on making handles for awkward shapes like water jugs. Incorporate that into this concept, or the video where he shows how to secure grocery bags in a truck bed. Should work.
Hello, "that's not going anywhere" in french would be "Ca n'ira nulle part" or less literal "Ca ne bougera pas d'un iota". Thanks for real world knot applications.
I don't think you can truly say "That's not going anywhere!" until you've used the full 1,000 feet of rope to tie down something as small as a bike. Though joking aside, I do have a question. What if you're in a situation where you have a lot of rope, you need to tie down something small like a bike or something, but you can't cut your rope? Is there a good way to bundle up all that excess rope in an efficient, easy to untie way? I've seen people rap some excess rope around the rungs of a ladder, but that would be difficult given too much rope, and the possibility that what you're tying down may not have a good place for that. I've tried bundling it up and tying that bundle to the side of the load, but I've never gotten it to work quite right. So just out of curiosity, how would you approach that problem?
Well, I'm Cajun, so... "Baw, dat knot's tight-tight, comme ca." How would you go about centering a yellow-top storage container from CostCo in a truck bed? I use yellow-tops to transport my groceries and would like to see a way to keep it from sliding around.
Swiss German: Literally "Das goht nirgends ane" (= this goes nowhere to), but we don't say that. We'd say "das hebet" which means "this holds". Seeing all the mentions of the Zeppelin bend, do you know the fastest way of tying it?
The fastest way to tie a zeppelin bend is as if you're tying an alpine butterfly know, but instead of a loop, you use the two ends you're joining together. The zeppelin bend and the alpine butterfly are basically the same knot.
@@caracaes They're both interlocking overhand knots, sure, but they're not the same and tying them is pretty different imho. I really like this method of tying the Zeppelin bend: ruclips.net/video/8_nHIOTZsA0/видео.html
That "handle bar" knot is NOT ...KNOT....a clove hitch but a cow/girth hitch. Leaving from the OPPOSITE side...CLOVE HITCH CHANGING DIRECTION and leaving from SAME side...COW hitch ALSO...FIRST knot looks like an "anchor hitch"
Don't know the connecting knot name , it involves making 6 and 9 and inserting ends of rope in front and back. Learnt it from you or weavers of eternity.

I love your knowledge and the way you share it but c'mon, the right way to do this is to dump the truck & ride the bike! Or if not chuck it in the back of a small car. What is it with 'effin trucks?!
In Brazil, they'd probably say "PORRA!" or "esse trêm não vai rolar". Regarding knot I'd use to join to pieces of similar cordage, I would've tied a loop and used that to "trucker hitch" with other bit of rope to that last tie-off. Not a correct answer but gets the job done just as well? Would you say that you have a bit of an unorthodox way of tackling knotty problems? It might be interesting to have some First Class Amateur vs {arborist, rigger, sailor} "battles" just to compare approaches. Would at least make for spicy content for the algo. Thanks for all you do!
You're probably mentioning the "nó carióca". I've never seen non-brazilians using the carioca on youtube, nor it being mentioned in knotting materials. It does seems to be a Brazilian thing. It's definitely my favorite variation of the trucker hitch because it is very easy and quick to make, it doesn't bind the rope and it unties very easily. Maybe americans and the like find it unsafe (it can "spill over" if you tie it incorrectly), but I never had a properly tied carioca fail on me.
More examples of tying down objects/load is a great idea. Your earlier videos of tying loads have been very beneficial. Keep it up.
For joining 2 ropes I love the zeppelin bend.
A Zeppelin bend is what I would use to join the two pieces of rope. I haven’t seen you do the Zeppelin bend (or loop) yet; do you use them?
fun fact about a zeppelin bend: It is the same as an alpine butterfly knot if you cut the loop afterwards.

Zeppelin bend everytime, it literally has it's test history in the name

Oops, not a single fisherman.

1:57 Not a clove hitch, but girth or cow hitch. A clove hitch would have the end going out towards the front of the bike.

I had the same thought and guessed the same girth reason.

Bump for visibility!
I would use the zeppelin bend. Easy to tie and untie and it is strong.
Thank you for sharing!
anchor hitch knot was the first knot
Do you think he gave it away in the next sentence? I always thought of a boat anchor but an anchor point knot is definitely more justified.
thanks
Cow Hitch Half Hitch nice. Carabiner useful nice.
Is that an anchor hitch?
I need to safely tie down 2 40lbs propane tanks in the back of my mini van to take them to be refilled. Any thoughts?

I'd be interested in tying things to the bike itself
Technically the truck is tied to the bike so there you go. 🤣

I’d have used a sheetbend. I guess I need to look up a zeppelin bend.
A zeppelin bend is just an alpine butterfly knot if you cut the loop after tyeing it.

He has made that one already.

Nah. Lark's head = girth hitch. Cow hitch is its own thing and slips out very easily when pulled from one side.
The best bend is the alpine butterfly!
