This is definitely the best explanation of this knot on RUclips as of now. No wasting time, just in one single minute all the essentials needed to know about this knot and its use. This video is the first one I encountered. Then I searched for more. Viewed a lot of them. And realized this first one is the best. Really. Thanks a lot!
The Prusik knot was used by James Bond, in the movie “For Your Eyes Only”. Bond (Roger Moore) used the shoestrings off his shoes, in order to ascend a rope while mountain climbing. Very unrealistic and unbelievably, however it was a James Bond movie.
👍👌👏 Easy and functional = ingenious. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
Had to opportunity to teach this to my grandson the other day. We were pulling an 85' deep well pump, with 1" ABS pipe about 10-12 feet up the pull line attached to the submersible pump went slack,No Weight, that can only mean the pull line had come loose from the attachment point, some 70 feet down. So while, we were holding the pump and pipe with one hand and fidgeting with the 1/4" poly rope, I instructed him how to cut bout a 2 foot length, then using one of my hands and using his two i showed him how to tie Bowline on a bight then double back on itself to leave a climbing pursik, then tied to our 'biner a dropping line to hoist the pipe and pump seal simultaneously. Needless to say it was a success and suprised the 16 year old know it all.😊
It's great to climb up rope with too! I've climbed out of caves with 2 prusik loops; one on my foot and one for one hand... just keep sliding them up alternately. Great to know - in an emergency you can even use shoelaces!
@@coalcreekdefense8106 You lean into the top knot making sure it’s locked in place. Then pull your foot loop up. Put your weight into your foot loop then drive the chest one up. It’s much better if you have a secondary line to work off of, but a srs will work in a quick and dirty situation.
I used one of these last week to climb a pole. I didn't have any rope on hand so I used a 5m roll of twin core 10a automotive cable, attached the ends with a square knot. I'm not a particularly heavy person (70kg) and the cable held well, but it would have snapped long before the prusik knot gave way.
I've been using something very similar for tarp shelters with or without poles. It makes modifying the layout a breeze. I didn't know about wrapping it three times and using a smaller gauge for the loops. Fantastically simple and useful knot. Excellent content as usual. Keep up the great work, mate!
I tied my first prusik around 2 yrs ago , now its one of my favorite and used a lot. Just go ahead and cut a dozen 8 to 10 inch lengths and tie them up , having them ready to put on what ever line you may want .......or need them ,
Yep. Gonna keep this in the back pocket. Thank you my good sir. Keeping us all informed. One day, we more then likely will be back in the woods again. And when that day comes, I plan to be the most prepared person ever. Thanks to those who are willing to inform the public on random things like this. Good day sir, I said good day! HA! 😂
Doing tree work I used a similar knot called a tautline hitch..same principle,it could slide up or down but stayed in place with tension on it..some guys called it the climbing knot…many years ago 😢
I work at a zipline course as a receiving guide and when a guest doesnt make it all the way to the brake and rolls back to the center of the line we use this knot during the retrieval in case we need a break from pulling without losing all our progress
One of the methods I teach with this is (ideally you want a second kind of cordage I like 36Bankline) but if all you have is paracord… after you cut your length of cord remove the inner strands of the cut section before you seal your ends. It helps hold everything in place even under hi tension. It won’t be as strong as it originally was but it will “bite” harder.
I use it all the time for climbing you can also differentiate how many loops you make. I use a Figure 8 to Close it, most of my friends use the double fisherman's.
If you know how to do a clove hit without tying any you can attach the stick for you tarp that way instead of just running the stink through. Just a thought
As someone who doesnt tie knots very well, I can say ive been making these most of my life and never even considered this a knot. I can tie my shoes and do 2 or 3 other knots, and I always did this for other applications, kind of like a jack of all trades "knot".
i had learnt this back in the 90s when i had just fin high school n was on my outdoor rec course...the way we used it was to climb up said rope (ground to top of farm building) and to climb back down - the fact that we all passed while crappin our pants at only 2.5m was all good...but it def taught me how to hold on tight n respect rope for what it is n how its made...scary but well worth it...
That thunder sounded so beautiful
Same thoughts
Funnily though was getting thunder by me in real time, they rumbled together 😮😅😊

Very nice...
I keep a line with the knots prettied on it for my tarp. Saves a lot of time when setting up.
Those thunder sounds in the background sounded so thrilling yet calming
Definitely did knot know this.
I'll try knot to forget in the future!
How did I knot know this before. This is knot a skill I will forget. In all seriousness, how can anyone knot laugh at your comment.😁
😂
@@rednecksducktapeandfilms8255 Your comment will knot go unnoticed, it's knot like you're a square.
@@intothevoid47 Come on dude... Just knot it of
I love a good dad joke 😂
Love the thunder at the end. Nice editing choice by Mother Nature.
Tying knots must be one of the greatest technological evaluations.
Ranking right up there with fire and farming
This is one of the best knots out there, very useful indeed ✌🏼

What a simple, handy knot! This qpuld have come in handy really nicely when i was in the boundary waters laat month 😀
Oohhhh the background thunder ⛈️⚡ noises are amazing 😍
Great demo AND explanation!!
Thank you!!

Very valuable content, and the thunder at the end was just chef’s kiss. 👌👍
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us nit wits! ❤️
We even use that one in rock climbing as footholds when you need to scale the rope in an emergency 👍🏻
same - on a outdoor rec course is where i learnt bout it

How do you move the foot loop up? Do you have to tie off the climbing rope at the bottom?

The one on your foot can have a reaaally long loop that goes to a hitch up just underneath your hand hitch.

This is one knot i learned all by myself when i was younger, and im kinda proud lol.
Finally, a knot method I can remember! 😄
I used to do this for fun as a child. Shocking to know it is the best knot technique.
You made it look so doable and easy! This may end up as one of only a handful I can actually remember. Thanks!

Excellent superb very nice congratulations
Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏
Love the timing of the thunder.
Great content! And this knot I may actually be able to remember with having to rewatch the video or Google it in the woods!
I need audio of just the thunder and nature in the background. 100% could put me to sleep❤
Good teaching. Thank you!
das Gewitter im Hintergrund kommt total geil und passt genau zur Scene 👍🏻
Super handy knot to know for things like ascending and crevasse rescue, too!
Very helpfull
This is the ideal educational channel. The next time I go camping I'm going to binge this and take notes
Yep.
Gonna keep this in the back pocket.
Thank you my good sir.

Fixing to put up shade cloth. This is perfect to know!
I know quite a few rope tricks and did not know this one. I'm excited to try it! Thanks!
Love this EASY knot! 🪢
My goodness, so simple yet so effective. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for this, it's so efficient & simple
I use this knot to back up my device while rappelling/rock climbing 🤙
Brilliant! 🎩
thank you for teaching me something useful and interesting today.
I was deadass expect “Touch You” to be on this playlist- 😂😂😂
I love your knots. God bless you.
Wow, I really like this and will be able to remember it easily. Thank you.
Best review of one of my favorite carry guns. Great channel. Thanks.
I've seen this before but totally forgot about it, thanks for refreshing my memory
Thank-you for using two different colours, so much easier to understand.
Excellent!!!🌲
How Clever! Love watching you!
I’ll definitely remember this thank you 👍
Keep your loops away from my ridge line dude! 👌👍😂
Thanks for this great video. actually useful advise unlike most videos I see posted . Not meaning your videos just in general.

Thank u I LOVE this one
Sweet, thank you.👍
I’m pretty sure this is the knot I’ve been looking for. Thanks
I used to tie prusik knot for an improvised ascending rapel. Tie two prusiks into the rapelling rope for
Your foot climb, of course use a harness
I’m actually proud of myself. I knew this one already! 🎉

Excellent knot. I think maybe I could even do this one
Loopty loop nd pull & ya durags lookin smooth!
Yes, and s stick as a toggle is so efficient.
Ever thought I’d say this but you make me want to get into the outdoors and start doing things haha
Genius and beautiful! 😍
2 prusik knots saved my life as well as a couple buddies a 2 decades ago. Had to use them to ascend out of a terrible situation
How u not finna tell us what happened
Tell us what happened brother

I make mine with a Weaver’s Knot. Extremely secure, yet even after being heavily loaded it can still be undone.
Also referred to as a sheet bend knot, correct?

As a Scout that had many, many nights in the wilderness, I thank you.
His hands looks so nice and soft to be such a handy outdoor guy
not even blisters from wanking 😅
Thank you sir
I’ve used this many times when sailing with my dad. It’s extremely easy and fast to do once you get the hang of it.
Thunder was on point. Needs an Oscar.
Yes!!! Great knot!!!!
Great video! Thank You.
wow :) great knot :) multi useful :)
Fantastic knot
Very interesting. Thanks.
Excellent
Best example I’ve seen of this knot
Thanks.
Sweet 😊 thank you
Use this on my hunter tree stand harness never had to use it but it is there every time I go Bow hunting much bigger rope of coarse.
This same knot is used in tree service. It will easily hold your body weight and you can grab it and roll it to loosen some to slide down your rope.
