The world over, knots are known by their specific names. If you make up other names, you create ambiguity. This is poor teaching and creates confusion. This knot is the Alpine Butterfly knot. Please don't change the names of knots.
@@TroopLeader The central reference for knots is generally accepted as Ashleys. This is the reference: The Ashley Book of Knots, p. 190, #1053 The people who told you it was called a Butterfly knot were wrong. And now you compound their ignorance/laziness and teach others wrong. There is precision in uniformity. There is chaos in ambiguity.
@@johnx9318 I have a copy of and am familiar with the enormous and comprehensive "The Ashley Book of Knots." What I've personally discovered over the years is that various knots are referred to by different names in accordance with geographic locations e.g. "The Yanks call a Rolling Hitch a Taut-Line Hitch." Here in the US, the Taut-Line Hitch is often just referred to as a Taut-Line. ("Apply a taut-line between the dining fly and the stake.") By the way, I'm very glad this particular How-to video isn't ONLY compounding ignorance and laziness and teaching others wrong regarding the name for The Alpine Butterfly Knot aka "Butterfly Knot," and "Lineman's Loop."
@@TroopLeader I have noticed a tendency for septics to rename things they don't really understand. You only have to look at their Merry-Wanker dictionary.
@@johnx9318 Think positively, John and God bless you! We love the knot (whatever it's called) and merrily USE it, celebrating its advantages on the numerous occasions when applying the fixed loop for a rope tackle, or at other times when it's good to have a fixed loop along a line's bight. Refer to us however you like, but it remains that the emphasis for us is on putting these skills into action in ways that are fun with positive outcomes.

Yes, but in Scout pioneering circles, it's also known as simply the "Butterfly Knot," and has been for decades.
