Here's a knot you can use to retrieve dropped items like a Gravity Hook. Gravity Hook is a design of mine. It's a mechanical claw that doubles as a grappling hook. I'm using rope to pike up a bike frame, just like a Gravity Hook might.
You're seeing it written a lot because it's true....This was freaking genius level. Outstanding work.
Thank you for the kind words!
@@First_Class_Amateur I agree with Bodhi.
If you hadn't showed us how to do it and how it works, then I'd have a tough time believing you.
@@First_Class_Amateur Neat trick Sir. I would knot tangle with you :)
An expert hits the target others cannot hit, but a genius hits the target others cannot even see.
Kudos also to whoever thought an all-rope gravity hook was even a question you could ask.
right💯
That is an amazing combination of knots. I just watched it, twice, and I still don't totally believe it. I mean, I do, but the level of creative mechanical intelligence required to even theorize this solution is staggering
Thanks. I appreciate your kind words.
That gravity hook knot is IMPRESSIVE!!! Well done!!
Thanks brother!
I audibly gasped when you demonstrated that knotted contraption doing the gravity hook thing. That is amazing.
"Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."
Dad used to say "Can't is just a little harder to do." This just proved that again. Impressive!
I love that you are replacing one of your own products with one of your own knots which you are showing everyone for free. Absolute madlad level
I love practical applications of knots (like mechanical purchase), and this is genius. This is one of the best knotting channels on YT - great, unique content, explained clearly, non-repetitively and at a good pace, with a non-annoying voice. Winner!
And now I need a gravity hook and a marlin spike from you. At least!
Fascinating! The only problem with videos like this, is that they always seem to make me feel abysmally stupid. Oh well- they are worth it, despite my self esteem taking hits, lol. Great content!
I watched a video about tying my shoelaces in some improved way last week.
I don't remember what it said.
I know your pain....oh well, guaranteed ...there is something that you or I can do that this genius would have trouble with...or so I like to tell myself
@@MetalAsFork LOL
I’ve heard a quote and I’m gonna pass it on to ya. “If you ever feel stupid, it’s because you’ve become smarter” 👍🏽
@@jesuscastanon7844 I like that because it is so true!
When I was a child, I learned several knots from a book. Even though I learned them, each knot was somewhat of a struggle trying to learn from a few pictures and some text. Your videos make it almost effortless to learn a new knot. Thank you for your good work.
The level of creative mechanical intelligence is astounding. I'm surprised that it worked. Good job good job good job
Very clever, simple and brilliant. More importantly, it worked.
A true master.
Hoping the entirety of this video flashes through my mind if there's ever a moment in the future that I'd really need to do this
I’ve tried and it worked! 5 mins and two attempts, even though the cord was very soft. So proud of myself😅 thank you!
Dude you just redefined the knot tier list.
You're sitting almost alone in S tier, but dude who figured out how to throw a line and have it wrap itself into a clove hitch is there too
That must have been a very satisfying challenge.
This is pure wizardry. I saw the video, I understood there were loops and knots, I will never get to the point of understanding how that was done.
Damn this is genius. You have outdone yourself 😂
One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen on the internet! Thank you!
Amazing. Such a clever approach.
Very imaginative. I view knots like puzzles, it is a wonderful distractions.
That is some straight up black magic wizardry stuff right there!
This channel just keeps getting better
That's actually pretty cool. Thanks.
Excellent. I will be practicing this one as I can see it having real life value.
❤
i have 2 sizes of the gravity hook. Amazing products and i use them more than i thought i would. i keep the mini in my car and have ened up using it to help retrieve keys fallen through sewer grates a couple times. Also helped fish a ring fallen between the boards at the beach. Great construction and super fun to play with.
Yes. Genius. Going to try this one… it will come in handy. Mahalo 🤙🏽
Now that’s worthy of a subscription….. Very cool
I've never seen this before, the thrill of learning something new.
it's really strting to amaze me what you can do with a piece of rope.
Best content on RUclips
I wouldn´t figured this out even in a million years. Very cool trick
Okay, so First Class Amateur, you're now on my list of team mates for the apocalypse... you and LockPickingLawyer, we'll be unstoppable.
Absolutely genius. And, that looks like the Ashley Stopper Knot. While the 'trefoil' name sounds nicer, ol' Ashley's crying in his grave at being kicked to the curb like that. 😀
To be fair, Ashley called it an Oysterman's Stopper, he didn't name it after himself.
@@readmesknots Who named it after him, then? I've always heard it called Ashley's stopper knot. Thought the oysterman's was a different stopper. I'll have to get my ABOK out and see what's what!
Apparently, the story goes Ashley was trying to tie the oysterman knot and came up with this knot by accident
The story as I recall is that Ashley saw a knot at an oysterman's pike he thought was new, tried to knot it, and discovered afterwards the knot he saw was just an old, twisted and weathered simple knot and he has invented a completely different one.
He was too humble to name it after himself so he gave it the name "oysterman's", but many afterwards give it Ashley's name as he was the actual inventor - and after all, that's the only knot bearing his name - all the others he collected from other tradesmen!
He deserves a knot with his name!
This man is a genius... Mind blowing.
My jaw is on the floor. What a beautiful mind to imagine this solution
*_Your hands are absolute magic!_*
That’s pretty cool. So simple and effective
You're a genius my man 10/10 video as always.
Here’s an extra thumbs up. 👍🏼
I can barely tie my shoes...my brain melted.
Okay, give me this video, in a loop, a gallon of coffee, and some rope.
That was slick!
This is a very interesting knot. I would like to see your perspective on catching an object that is partially or fully submerged with a gravity knot.
Also what advantage could you gain if you have two people on either side of a chasm trying to get a catch on the same object.
Working with another person holding onto the same or joined rope, its very easy to accurately position a knot over top of an object. It would be interesting to see your work on an effective knot or rope structure that takes advantage of two people pulling from opposite sides.
Even working solo I can position the rope over top an object much more accurately by working it from two sides of a chasm or valley.
I guess underwater you'll need to tie a monkey's fist with a weight inside instead of the first trefoil. Weighting the other side - the loop - should also be possible, but I have to think of which knot would be the most convenient for that.
But you'll definitely need weights (stones, marbles).
I bet if you could get a solid knot around a rock at whichever spot you are at (river stones for example) you could have that sit as the tag-end trefoil(?) knot. Or even add extra length to the tag and fasten the weight right up to the knot. As long as you can fit the weight through the toggle loop you should be good.
I have the large gravity hook and the small keychain one 😁 they come in handy when nobody else has anything for the job
Almost unbelievable, so impressive!!!
You are so creative. This one was so amazing.
Wow, just WOW! Nicely done.
You are a genius.
Wow! This is GENIUS!
Simply genious ! What a quality of innovation 👊
Saw this on Reddit. Subscribed!
That was pretty cool
You are a genius!
Just fascinating! I have watched several of your videos just to learn the basics... but this has blown my mind. I must ask: how long did it take you to figure this out? I mean you are a master, but it would be interesting to learn more also about your work in progress process. Thanks again for sharing!
I was actually leaning forward and holding my breath in suspense until the "claw" engaged.
I wouldn't remember the construction details in the wild, but seeing it done successfully, I'd at least try the clever concept.
Don't get me wrong you are super talented so I'm not trying to argue your methods but what I'm interested in is how do you go about learning how to come up these crazy knot ideas. There is no way I'd remember about 95% of your knot ideas.
Probably a massive amount of repetition, to the point where he doesn’t need to think about which knots to use. It likely comes ‘naturally’, through all that hard work.
Like everything in life, practice practice practice.
When you can do it all in the dark with suboptimal materials you’re good.
Can you do a video of useful knots for work and just everyday use also knots/ hitches to attach a rope an object (im a beginner)
Awesome as always.
Wow. Just wow. Very impressive
One puzzle I have never solved is a bowling ball in a tube. Access to a finger hole is possible, but a knot that jams hard defies me.
Next Level Knot Work
you are a fuckin genius, I have 20 vids of yours saved on my phone and hanks of sash at all times, never be bored again.
Nice idea
You have fergotten to count in the time for making the knots in the retriever timer. 😂
Just seen and practiced a similar solution, but the stopper knot and hoop are on different ends of the rope, and you have more control of end ends by pulling separately until it latches.
That's incredible
Just wow. Did you pick your rope based on certain properties to help the situation? I am tempted to try it with paracord because that is what I have lying around.
Edit: And of course, you did that too :D
Nobody ever saw Richard Dean Anderson do this. 😯
Fucking INSANE I mean I didn’t even know this type of stuff was possible with rope. You’ve opened my eyes
That is a new one on me have not seen that knot thanks
¿En serio? That's YOUR design? If it is, as a graffiti artist... Yo have no idea the level of art you've allowed to be created in this world. Thank you.
This deserves a nobel prize!
simply brilliant!
精彩!
從不知道繩結可以這樣的事
Just keep those ideas coming!
Fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
The level of ingenuity is of the charts, but for me it would be easier to just buy a new bike. 😅
That is really really cool!! But alternatively, you could just tie a lasso and swing it around the bike seat.
This is dope, I'm going to try this
Brilliant! Love your videos, keep it up!
This is so cool!
Gonna need to update your channel to ... 'First Class Genius'
this is beatiful
Mind blown, I need to try this
👍👍- agreed. Absolute genius!
I have said it forever
One can solve any problem with rope!
Absolutely incredible
Where/how do you just know all these know so well to be able to use them like that?! Impressive🎉🎉🎉
Huge deal! Thank you!
Very clever..... personality I would have just made a lasso..... but for just to latch into a bar.....genius...... but like yourself I use a gravity hook...I have different sizes of them for different tasks.
I suspect this took a lot longer than it appears to achieve, but it's still impressive.
it demands a few adjustements depending on the size and shape of the target, and I didn't tested it otherwise that on very close targets, but that actually work for me below a minute of struggle. I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to but more weight on the knot holding the hook, to allow more manoeuvres from upper places?
Very impressive!
Tried it as soon as your vid dropped, but the knot slips as soon as the creature pushes up onto it, and every time it does, it drops the bike, that is- it it doesn't dissolve the rope first of all.
Getting sick and tired of this bike retrieval, and the radiation above the void just keeps increasing, yesterday just 0.14ųSv , just now some spikes above 2,50ųSv, not to mention the freaking rope length ever increasing. Glad I followed the advice in the comments at least, without the pulley system I'd been down there as well..
I want you on my apocalypse survival team
Damn Good!! Impressed as all the other impressed commenters!
holy.... thats amazing
This is why those theories about Egyptians using alien technology to build the pyramids is so stupid. Never underestimate the creativity and resourcefulness of a determined human being.
Very cool video, I couldn’t help but notice that the timer is reversed
First of all, this is so cool. Second, I'm a knot beginner and learning so much from your videos. Thank you for lots of ideas and great explanations! Last but not least, what's your professional background? How do you know all this stuff / have that mix of skills??
This is magic
I don’t have a need for a claw; BUT I WANT ONE!!!!! Shut up and take my money!!!!
