How to tie a clove hitch? Where to use the Clove Hitch? And WHY tie a clove hitch? All questions answered in this video. The Clove hitch knot is an incredible one for bushcraft, survival, prepping, and utility uses.
You can tie it with paracord, or pretty much any type of cordage. If the rope is slippery, use the Constrictor Knot variation. My favourite variation is the Clove hitch with a bight slipped through, or in other-words the quick release handle clove hitch!

I'd be pretty damn lost without you, my friend ! 🤗☺️❤️🖖✌️
I just started learning how to tie knots and have been unsure about which knots are best in certain circumstances. This helps a lot thanks!
INCREDIBLE tutorial, DJ!
Thanks a million brother!!!!
Iv watched lots of vids on knots this guy is the best at explaining and making it simple for beginners to learn knots with ease 💯👍
Wow, thanks!
Yeap the most valuable thing is he explains it great with variety examples of usage, so we have a stimulus to learn and remember, as we see how it can help
Anybody covering this song HAS to nail that soul wrenching scream in the middle. And yup, you did. Very good.
Hey DJ, I'm a fellow knot nut. Great video! I'd like to add that you can slip the constrictor knot as well so that you don't have to cut it to remove it. In my experience, this doesn't compromise the knot's security.
Amazing, thanks Mike!! I covered that slipped constrictor in my dedicated constrictor vid, but didnt mention it here. I wish I did now! Thank you!
I am from 🇳🇵 i don't know that you know about my country or not. But I loved every videos of yours. And your explanation. Your video taught me to tie knot. Bushcraft ladder.an much more
Excellent tutorial DJ. It really is incredible how many knots are just one small modification away from each other.
Nate
Glad you enjoyed it Nate, ya the clove is one of those base fundamental knots that can kind of evolve into so many others. Without getting too nerdy the knot world is pretty cool ahhab
Just small modifications can make reliable useful knot an unreliable dangerous knot
Those cards are an awesome idea
Congratulations on 1million❤
Thank You!!!
Super cool!
Superb tutorial as always, DJ. Can't wait to get the Knot Kit, that looks like a very well thought out kit.
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks so much for the support, honestly I just built it based on what I’d want out there. So I hope everyone likes it
I already missed your videos, as always, teaching how to tie knots 👌🏻
More to come! Thanks so much!
Clove hitch is a classic rock climbing multi pitch knot 😘
I love all your videos, and practice tying these knots while watching tv or other RUclips videos.
Wow Grats on 1 million!
The constrictor also makes a great lashing knot for two rods at 90°
Great video thank you.
Super smart stuff! Thanks. You know we need to see a video on that floating "shelter" hammock. :)
Haha thanks a bunch! It’s made in this video here but I’ll do a dedicated one on it for ya!
ruclips.net/video/SbDdZgg3DL8/видео.html
Thank you DJ! 👊🏻👍🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻 Appreciate you my friend! 🪢
I recommend you add the "snuggle hitch" to the list, perhaps as a replacement for your constrictor knot.
This channel just gets better and better. Well done, mate
Thanks Levi!
I will gladly support this channel! Hetting me a bear essentials knot tying kit! Keep up the great work brother!

2:38 Smooth product placement! 🤣 But in all seriousness thanks for the clove hitch enhancement info. I'm very interested in that bedding system! Your knot explanation is by far one of the most simple and easy to follow which I appreciate.
Haha!!! I don’t take sponsorships so my own products are the way to go:) 🤣🤣 tried to be slick about it lmao
Amazing content… great teacher 👍🏻
Excelent as always
Very practical short, thank you buddy 👌🔥🤘❤️🍻💯
Yeahhh. Me glad 1m subcriber congratulations. Thank for video love your channel 💪🏻😉
Thank you so much!!
WOW ! Thank you.
People you better learn and download this video before internet is down. I downloaded many "ROPE" videos....just in case
More skills added 😊👊🔥
Interesting - in climbing (in the UK at least), we use a clove hitch on the bight to tie into anchors. Because it’s in the middle of the line, of course, it can’t shake loose.
Really? I had no idea it was used in climbing or to support life like that. Very cool.
Thank you very much for sharing this. Extremely helpful. Greetings from a new subscriber from Indonesia. Looking forward to more videos
Welcome aboard! Thanks so much for the follow and support!! Greetings from Canada!
The constictor hitch in the middle of a rope may be useful: form an S shape, take the bottom bend of the S and bring it up in front of the top of the S, take the top bend of the S and bring it down in front of the bottom of the S. fold the two loops over bringing them together. easier shown than explained
I KNEW that the final variation had to be the constrictor knot. I learned it many years ago from the classic Morrow's Book of Knots. Like Bear said, it absolutely won't slip (unless you use it on something square, like a 2x4), yet you can make it constrict tighter by pulling harder on the two ends. You're limited only by your physical strength.
Once you learn it, you'll find all sorts of unexpected uses for it. I'm using one right now on an adjustable guitar stand. The stand has an adjustment handle. When you squeeze it, it locks in place and exerts constant pressure on the stand's sliding mechanism to maintain the height adjustment. Unfortunately, a piece of the handle broke, preventing the sliding mechanism from being locked in place. So, I used camping cord and a constrictor knot to squeeze the handle to maintain the pressure necessary to lock the sliding mechanism in place.
This was a perfect application for the constrictor; I know of no other way I could have fixed it, and I doubt any other knot could have been cinched tightly enough to maintain the necessary pressure.
4:00 OVARIES!!!
Looks like a constrictor knot.

6:47 so… could you do the constrictor hitch with a bite? Wouldn’t that make it removable?
Yes you can, absolutely!
That’s a good critical eye you have. I cover that variation in my full constrictor vid if you want to give that a watch too:
ruclips.net/video/4LgbkXIF0oU/видео.htmlsi=tF73TTkjA9iu2F4O
If you are having trouble with a clove hitch coming undone, you may be using it for the wrong application/ The clove hitch started out as knot used by sailors to tie off a boat to a piling that hols up a dock. Over the years it has been repurposed for everything else. It needs tension or weight kept on it to be secure. When hauling logs in the water, a clove hitch at the mid point on the log, and a half hitch at the end of the log being towed would keep the tension on the clove hitch and prevent it from slipping.
the constrictor knot that you demonstrated, is also known a strangle knot. It has such a strong mechanical advantage, that if enough weight/load is put on it, you will have to cut the line to free it.
How is no one in the comments saying anything about that suspended bed! That looks awesome I need to try it. Is 550 paracord strong enough for that use? Wouldn't the lines holding the far end suspended stretch out too much?
Haha! It’s featured in my vid here, but I will 100% make a dedicated video for it now that people want to see :)

@@TheBearEssentials Nice, guess I missed that one. Appreciate the heads up, but also kudos on you for doing some original and out of the box stuff! To little people try to innovate within the bushcraft scene imo.
@@Eindkaasthx a bunch, ya there’s a few original creators and many copycats out there. (Frustrating for me at times) BUT, I just keep doing my thing, people seem to like it :)
@thebearessentials - That a F91-W I see???
Water Resist, low profile, barely functioning green light that makes it somewhat easy to read in the dark.
It sure is the the F91-W.
4:00 - I'd call that one the uterus method. 😅
Wow 743 on the waitlist ( when I first checked )
what is the production /delivery schedule ?
Hey Stephen, just working on packaging now, and should have it released on March 1st to almost everyone… then will have to start a new waitlist as I’ll be out of product completely lol!
Where can I find the pocket size ref guide. I'm very interested. It's not listed in the store
Where can I purchase this sort of cord? And what sort of cord is it, please? Thank you
Hi mark, for practicing I have the orange thicker cord available in my knot tying kit.
For use around campsite, there are a few options, one is the popular 550 paracord, but online there are cheap and good ones - and very tough to decipher which is which.
I am releasing my own line of cordage in the next 2 months that’s trustworthy and top quality as well!!
How can I create a card size, with demonstration images, with QR code that will link to a RUclips channel all at once like you did?
is there a way to tie the other knots like the constrictor know if you only have the middle of the rope?
Yes there is!
I show that method in my Constrictor deep dive video: ruclips.net/video/4LgbkXIF0oU/видео.htmlsi=RWsOBlcIrEM4qPCU
Yep
My rope is attached to the top of the bag on the side thru a little slit in the bag but the rope doest move it is permanently attached, what knot should i use to close the bag like that? Do you have a link to a video or a suggestion of a video you made? Please and thanks i can send a pic too if you have twitter or something like that.
Hey, ya on instagram or my email in the about section here, send me a pic so I know what you mean. I can help ya out
@@TheBearEssentials sweet. Im stuck. I will today, i dont have instagram so i will email you a pic ,if you see “tarp bag help” as the subject you know its me. Thanks alot im stuck. Maybe after you see you can tell me what knot to use so i can look it up. Im actually watching your 10 essential knots videos right now and practicing lol
@@TheBearEssentials hey sorry to bother you but i cant find an email address,only on the website where it says contact us but all i can leave is a comment no picture to show you the knot i need for the tarp bag. Thanks if you have time to get back to me
@@Greenhead24ah sorry about that!
Dj@bearessentialsoutdoors.ca
I'm left handed, so record then flip the video, works every time.
Oh good idea, sorry about the right handed bias in this
Watch through a mirror 😂
Always said: the Clove hitch is a wrong Constrictor knot 😂
Hahah! That’s awesome, pretty much checks out
Isnt a constrictor better than the clove anyway?
variation 5 for pants needs to be done slower cos i dont follow....
These are NOT the KNOTS to NOT know! We must NOT NOT know these KNOTS!
