I am the oldest in my girl scout troop and we are going camping and my job is to teach the younger girls how to do this, but I did not know how to do it myself. Thank you!
The clove hitch can be extremely hard to undo if you're using it to hold a large amount of weight...that's why tree workers don't tie off to logs they're lowering with a clove hitch. Under extreme loads the clove hitch becomes very tight. However, at the last part if you pass a loop through with enough cord or rope, then you have a slipped clove hitch will can be undone by pulling on the end like untying your shoe, yet has just as much holding power. I teach knot tying for the electrician's union and I'm a tree worker. Those ever wondering about why courses even mention sheep shanks, since we don't work on sail ships, should know that a sheep shank is simply a coil of rope held at each end with a half hitch. It can be used to isolate a bad section of rope by putting the bad section within the coil and then adding the half hitches. Half hitch method of tying the sheep shank explains it all.
adding a half hitch along the object NEXT to the clove hitch is more secure but not as troublesome to untie than the constrictor so it lives inbetween the clove hitch and the constrictor when you need just a little more bite when tying on with slippery rope like the single braid in the video.
If you unpack the constrictor, you can teach yourself a technique for building it in a line without having access to the ends, similar to the bunny ears way of building the clove hitch. Might be useful for making fast to a stanchion, when one end of the stanchion is free to flop the built knot over.
While at the belay, once you have your tie-in point set, merely reach down with your (right) hand and grab the rope below your harness tie-in, palm up (thumb at 3 o’clock). Then raise the rope to the anchor carabiner while naturally turning your hand (thumb at 9 o’clock) and clip the loop you just formed into the anchor ‘biner. Repeat by grabbing the rope below the anchor. Adjust. Tighten. This is way faster than the methods you showed for climbing, and it’s more seamless and natural, because you have to initially pull up rope anyway.
A clove hitch is the complete opposite of a constrictor knot if you twist one way you get a constrictor and if you twist the opposite way you get a clove hitch which is made with two half hitches .
Someone making knot videos needs to film themselves tying the knot, then add optional instructions. You only need like 2 seconds of video to learn a knot

The timber hitch is a good one to use for heavy loads.
Very interesting!!!

Well done with contrasting/separate colored anchor and rope as well as not covering the rope with your hands.
Very helpful. thanks
Great 😊

A clove hitch is made with two similar half hitches, not loops
instructions unclear, got schween clove hitch'd.
and that took 4 min 40 sec...
This little pole of mine .. lol
Square knot
What about it?

First thing first: the clove hitch it’s not a knot.
