HAH! I've been using this for decades to tie an anchor line to my canoe while fishing, I thought I invented it! Keep them coming, you're always learning.
This is awesome man, thank you! First knot I ever really learned (besides tying my shoelaces haha) was the Siberian hitch and was told it was the way it was because you can easily do it in gloves or mittens. Love the history of it and where it came from and why (the reindeer, etc). I use it to this day for making ridgelines, tie-outs on grommets, etc. Now you just showed me the “other end” of it that would be tied to the animal, very cool, my journey is complete haha! Yeah man, if you have more knots to share, please do, thanks.
@@hobojordo for sure, gotta tell the guy who taught me the Siberian, all credit goes to Joel Graves at American Survival Co., good dude and awesome instructor!
Iirc, the slipped-figure-of-eight version became known as the evenk knot because that's who Ray Mears learned it from, and he's the one who introduced it to western outdoors circles
@@hobojordo yeah, tho he still just calls it the siberian hitch (in his video, anyway, I don't have his books for reference), lol, so idk who came up w that exactly. Looks like it was documented by anthropologists among the nenets as well
I think I'm going to use this for my tarp ridgelines. Normally I do bowline and wrap it around the tree but this will be cool to have the quick release.
Looks good look I did a similar knot on accident but had the same problem so instead of perfecting it I ran the rope through the loop but now seeing this I'll try it
@@kevinwiens4804 it is functionally the same knot as the 'eskimo' boline or cossack knot but is slipped to have a quick release, and like the event hitch uses a funky way of tying that lets you do it with mittens on
To tie the eskimo bowline I bring the line clockwise around the object that I'm tying to, then I use the overhand flip method to tie it and I mostly tie it to be a quick release.
Great stuff, love it. I think Paul Knightley and Ray Mears have also, to be fair, been out there showing this...I am pretty sure they do it the same way, but use a slightly different set-up. Like your way!
Good stuff ! Would like to learn anything from the Evenki ( and yourself)! Could you put a toggle in that loop for added insurance? Or does it bind so well it’s not necessary?
This very similar to the bank robbers or get away knot here on west...except that it is tied around a horizontal hitching post. Very important to tighten the knot by pulling on the lead rope end and not the bite run through the loop you made. 👍
Just left comment on your last video to teach us knots!! Thanks! I hope your channel blows up!

Looks like a bowline with a quick release. I’m stealing this one
Jordan you rock brother. Hope you and the family are well! Thanks for the info!
Nice one Jordan!
Thanks for sharing to our page! I'll have to practice making this knot...
My new go to knot! Thanks Jordan! 😃

Haha awesome, yeah good to have both sides!

Cool, that looks like a spiffed up half hitch, I'll gladly adopt that knot!
Thank you!
Loved you on alone bro, and love your channel. Can't wait to be here when you reach 250k subscribers
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge Jordan!
Thank you for this! VERY helpful! Just the knot I needed!
Yep, feel free to make more videos like this:)
Cool, thanks for the new knot! “Skill unlocked”

Seen and tied lots of knots, A new one. Thanks
Love learning new knots, thank you!
Oh man, I’ll put this one to use. Thanks Jordan!
Got it, thanks for sharing!
Iirc, the slipped-figure-of-eight version became known as the evenk knot because that's who Ray Mears learned it from, and he's the one who introduced it to western outdoors circles
Ohhhhhhhhh ... I was wondering...

Great story!
Gonna have to give this a try, thanks Jordan
awesome! all your videos are amazing. I've learned a lot from you

I do!
Make more of these!
Looks good look

Awesome!
That’s handy to know
I've seen this same knot (though tied differently, which is interesting) called the kalmyk loop or Siberian boline
Yes it's the same also similar to Eskimo knot.
Is it the same as the eskimo bowline?

Isn´t this the Kalmyk loop what you showed ?
This is an awesome knot. Took me awhile to get it. What applications would you use it other than animals? Do you know what slip knot the Evenki use?
I believe it’s called the Siberian hitch..(the slip knot)
I use this knot all the time..probably my go to knot for tying up a line for whatever reason
Ah man, I love it, thank you.

Jordan, Do something with season 3 of ALONE winner Zachary Fowler. He has a channel with 1.1 million subs. Seems like an awesome guy too.
awesome! Thanks man!
awesome man, thanks
Is this different from a bowline?
Yeah
that’s the knot we use to tie horse leash? i don’t know how to say it in english in mongolia to poles and stuff.
In the west it's not well know .. They have similar ones but not this
That's a Kalmyk
Correct, this is Kalmyk loop.
Evenk knot also exists, but it's totally different.
