I learned the highwayman's hitch back in school decades ago. But I've been leery of its safety. I am so glad that you've provided a simple and elegant solution to make it secure. Thanks!
This video is done incredibly fast for someone who is a beginner especially using terms like loaded end etc for beginners we will not understand at all so thumbs down
NT Thanks a bunch for this video, much appreciated. I'm looking for a quick release for my anchor line on my kayak without getting into too much "gadgetry". I want to be able to release my kayak anchor from whatever position (from bow or stern) without using the anchor trolley. I fish is swift current and need to reliably release in an instant and a couple of these knots will do the trick.
Great upload and great idea showing a number of quick release knots as they all are handy to know as it may depend on the amount and thickness of rope to which one is practical for a certain application at the time. Well done
Yeah give it a go, it's real easy to tie. You can do that with almost every quick release knot, just daisy chain with the bites and ends of the ropes. Have a great week my friend Nick
Could you share your thoughts of which knot type would be more useful in which kind of scenario? Also say if you were tying a hammock which kinds of knots would you recommend?
Great video Nick. These knots will be very useful, and look easy to tie. I will be practicing them today my friend.. Thanks for the lesson! Have a great week buddy.
very good nick, awesome knots. and they seemed to be easily learned with your training,added to my favorites...thanks nick , i do need to practice and use better knots . ....bill
Thank you for your nice comment, I really appreciate it. I will try to do some more knot demonstrations in the near future. Greetings from Holland, Nick
If you were sliding down a 50ft rope after a burglary with a thin piece of string attached to the loose end to facilitate knot release and a quick escape what knot would you consider most reliable? Asking for a relative known as "wall climber colin"
these are great but i'm looking for how to tie a stage curtain to a truss. the curtain has many tie points along it with two ropes/two ends - and i normally see these are tied together around the truss in a quick release bow, it has to be both safe to raise the truss and quick to remove. whats best?
They are really east to tie =) very useful indeed. I hope they will come in handy in the future for you. Looking forward for your upcoming video's =) Nick
Thanks Bill I am glad this video helps out. There are really so many kinds of knots and they all have different purposes. I will try to put some more video's out there. Have a great week brother =) Nick
Really very good demonstration , and clear instruction synchronizing with the actions, i need to practice it right now , or will forget . To tie a knot has always been a problem for me .
Thanks brother, Yeah I have to make my money somehow right! =) I am glad you liked them. Joking about the strip pole though. Have a great week and stay safe Nick
Thanks Albert, I am glad this video helps out. They are easy to tie after a bit of practice they will always stick in your mind. I appreciate the comment my friend Nick
+aecrim x I think this would work great for hammocks, however, if your buddies want to pull a prank on you, just one pull of the release rope and your butt is hitting the ground. That's the only drawback I see. Camp with trusted friends and you're good to go.
All these knots are great but indeed the henk is the better. I've pulled on the loaded end with full power and all my weight. Nothing. It just doesn't budge. you can even slack the robe completely and the knot will just stay in the loop when tension is suddenly back. Practiced it so im doing it with my eyes shut now :) Thanks again for the great vid and a great day to you as well!
Thanks Nick, these knots are really easy to learn. They will come in handy your whole live really. I am glad you liked it my friend. Have a good week =) Nick
My favorite knot must be the evenk hitch, with the highwayman's hitch you have to understand the first bite you pull through is the loaded end, second will be the quick release end, you can repeat this proses for a few times to make it stronger. I hope this helpes =) Have a great day, Nick
Nice vid buddy! I was wondering if I was doing the highwayman wrong because I was able to ruin the knot by pulling the loaded end. Which one is your favorite btw?
Which knot would be the best for criminal activity? (hunour me, I'm writing a book ... stop laughing at the back!). Say you've got into a 6 storey apartment and you know the wealthy chump always leaves the bedroom window slightly ajar. You snaffle the gems tie your rope around a cast iron radiator exit through the window closing it over to the usual amount. You abseil down to ground level and retrieve the rope leaving no trace of how you did it. The secure highwaymans knot gets my vote but maybe I'm missing something.
If I were a thief, I wouldn't bother with a knot. To use these knots (which I wouldn't trust with body weight anyway) you need both ends to reach to the bottom of your abseil. So put your rope around any solid object, abseil from both strands at the same time and when you reach the bottom pull either side to pull you rope back from around the object and it will fall down. That's how canyoning works:)
even better, attach your loot to the end of the rope. make a loop in the rope a couple of meters from the loot. pas the rope around a sold object, tread the loose end through the loop (and hold it). throw your loot out of the window, abseil down the other end so that you end up with a sort of noose around you anchoring point. once you reach the bottom, let go, and the weight of your loot will pull the noose loose and everything will come falling down... (don't do this with fragile loot); in fact don't do this, it's pretty hardcore stuff for canyoning when the abseil is more then half the length of the rope but we ussually plan ahead to ovoid those situations... if something gets stuck or you get hit by the weight or fail to catch the rope... you are fucked:p

Very good instructional video. It's so clear and easy to understand, it's a wonder it hasn't been removed for being to usefull. LOL.

Nicely done! Clear and easy explanations. Two thumbs up!
Thanks, just made a noose and triple knotted highway style so goodnight to yall
Just realized the noose I made was a slip knot
Yeah you are right it should twist! It's like when you pull it tight it almost shows an eight shape =)
Have a great weekend, Nick
What knot would you recommend to use when cutting tree limbs
Thank you for your nice comment, I really appreciate it. I will try to do some more knot demonstrations in the near future.
Greetings from Holland, Nick
Thanks for the comment, I hope they will come in handy someday

i love knots for some reason
I just need one. Which is the easiest to remember and still strong?
Thanks Bill I am glad this video helps out. There are really so many kinds of knots and they all have different purposes. I will try to put some more video's out there. Have a great week brother =)
Nick
Really very good demonstration , and clear instruction synchronizing with the actions, i need to practice it right now , or will forget . To tie a knot has always been a problem for me .
Would these knots work with another length of rope rather than a solid pole or object?
thanks, man. the first knot is exactly what i was looking for, to tie up this girl im going out with, she's kinda freaky like that lol
Thanks brother, Yeah I have to make my money somehow right! =) I am glad you liked them. Joking about the strip pole though. Have a great week and stay safe
Nick
great knots
Amazing and useful. Thank you.
Ty awesome video
Well done! Awesome.
Thanks Albert, I am glad this video helps out. They are easy to tie after a bit of practice they will always stick in your mind. I appreciate the comment my friend
Nick
Excellent!
would this work for horses and their leadropes?
I throw a bight into a poachers knot, super secure. Can get pretty tight but still releases.
Very helpful thanks
How safe are this knots? For what can you use them?
Do you known quick release knots for tightening knots similar to the constrictor knot?
The last is almoust the speed-bouline, but it's not safe, it slips out if your rope is a bit slippery.
These will do great for pranks
are those knots good for hammocks?
+aecrim x I think this would work great for hammocks, however, if your buddies want to pull a prank on you, just one pull of the release rope and your butt is hitting the ground. That's the only drawback I see. Camp with trusted friends and you're good to go.
Excellent.
thanks so much simple video now ill just have to try it :)
All these knots are great but indeed the henk is the better. I've pulled on the loaded end with full power and all my weight. Nothing. It just doesn't budge. you can even slack the robe completely and the knot will just stay in the loop when tension is suddenly back.

Thanks again for the great vid and a great day to you as well!
Thanks a lot! Now I can stop doing the loopty loop and pull ten times until it's impossible to get undone.
Thanks JC =) I appreciate the comment! C for caravan it still makes me smile =) Have a great week.

I simply cant get the quick-release end on the highwayman's hitch, for some reason it wont let me tie it.
