Grab both top loops together with ledt hand with the right hand backing of the loop. It's a Clove Hitch ready to drop on a anchor. (Or "Thumbs to the left, thumbs to the right, left under the right".

I love these knot videos. Very wholesome lol. Dude it’s so important to know how to tie knots. I grew up with all kinds of projects where my dad taught me the basics of knots. Now I’m 14 yrs in the military and an aviator professionally but I boat in my free time and people are always impressed at my ability to quickly bust out the right knot at the right time. And even when you don’t have a knot in mind, if you know the basics, you can improvise. I have a boat in SF bay and find myself hosting all kinds of very successful people just by way of friendships along the way. I’m always hosting and making people comfortable and every now and then I bust out a knot to secure the boat or gear etc. and it leaves people so impressed. Our friend had a “going away” celebration and he thanked us for our friendship and commented that adventures with us were one of his best memories. And I remember I taught him to knots of the boating world at one point and that was probably his highlight of boating with us. Thanks for the video 🫡

If you do another half hitch 6 inches or more above it you could pull that pipe straight up. Like if you wanted to pull a stick of pipe up to a third floor on a job site.
I was hoping that you were going to swing that line around that pole in a way that you could put your hand in as it's coming around and catch the working end and then just pull your hand back out and have a clove hitch😆. I like teaching it by turning the half hitches like you did and then also showing how turning one the other way makes a girth hitch. Knots are about holding the rope in ways that make sense while tying.
@@wildlifewarrior2670 Ah, so! All these freakin' years~I never thought of it as a "hitch" but as a "strange, chopped up knot". Now it makes a bit more sense and I'm going to have to review my hitches in this new light (perspective, really). Thanks! ✔️👍🏽
There are so many ways to lay or tie the clove hitch as there are names for it. It's as popular with sailors as with bushcrafters and climbers. You can do a better version called strangle knot or constriction knot that holds even better and is as fast as this one. No magic ...

Thank-you for your service! Sounds like you could have some pretty engaging maritime how-to videos of your own
Sir, I love your videos. Quick, simple and effective. I work in HVAC and these knots are perfect.
He didn't invent these lol
Awesome way of easily and fast to tie a clove hitch. Great job 👍
Thank you for the different kinds of knots I learn.god bless you everyone 🙏❤️
Thank you so Much, learn so much, i got a Wife now.

Thank you fellow scout.
U mean Captain.....
I love it! Excellent demonstration! Thank you-
For 20 years as an assistant scoutmaster, I had taught that method to countless scouts. Great for competitions.

"Behind each other" must be done in the right way ...
Use this not all the time for lowering and pulling tools into trees. Great knot, so many uses
Хороший узел, отец в детстве показал и сейчас на рыбалке пользуюсь.
Thank you so much 🙏
G'day mate, thankyou.
from kerala 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Thank you, very useful
Nice
Nice one! Grazie :)
"Elephant ears": love it!
hey my patent is pending on that maneuver! nuff said!lol
I’ve tied thousands of clove hitches, including that way. Some people can only tie them like that. Others struggle with them every single time.
Yep. Technical term is throwing a clove hitch.
My dad taught me that knot!
Only works if you have bar you can slide in onto of course.
I used to know about your knots and now all I know is knotheads. 🤣
I definitely have knot dyslexia. Watching how easy makes me very anxious. Ha
Thank you!!
As a failed boy scout, I just could now wrap my head around tying knots. Unless it was a hangman's noose around my little sister's doll.

i learnt that one before tying my laces

Funny, I just read a whole article on knots, and why you should never use a clove hit h to tie off a boat.
Hahaha let people do as they think, it's better to learn to hard way
And hitch can be bad if not tied correctly
묶으면 굉장히 튼튼하게 묶여지는데 , 풀기도 굉장히 힘들어요. >.
No it Is not, you can even untie it with one hand
이 묶음을 유지하되 좀 더 쉽게 풀 수있는 방법이 연구되면 더욱 훌륭할것입니다.
@@HansvanBinsbergen not if there's shock, you will have to cut it off
Bowline is best for mooring bollards
you can also use on dock cleat
GAME CHANGING
What is a good common use for this knot ? Anyone ? I am learning knots these days and would like to know uses for this one
That's one the classic way to tie that knot, it's not a new way.
Now try making a clove hitch in a carabiner. One handed.
I feel like that rod should have a lip on the top or that knot will just slide up and there goes your yacht.
Not if you tie with the tide
Perfect
Fucking amazing
tie it without an opened end anchor point
Yeah, this is the easy way. Better to learn the other version in case you can’t just slip over the top.
I love to learn, but some knots are so difficult and I hardly do them 💔 🙏🏼😭
Could you please include some other information, a small description of what a knot is best for, or where it should never be used?
For me it's Practice, Practice, Practice..... Muscle memory
Mastworp is the Dutch name for it
Clove hitch or Elephant Knot. I was a scout.
Scouts revealed the secrets of the clove hitch unto to me, but not this sorcery.
Got it thanks
It's a nice knot, but if it's pulled too hard, it won't be able to untie, so you probably have to cut it.

My boss never wants any hitch on the boat
THANK YOU
Elephant ears,,,, makes me hungry !!!
no wonder I failed... I didn't mix it up 😹
Why is this damn knot so easy to forget how to tie???
because it's not a tie it's a hitch

What if you want to do this not, but one end of the rope has to be tight?
Truck driver hitch and use the clove to finish
That's a bondage knot 🌝
🖤💚❤😎👍👍👍
Thank you
clove hitch
This wouldn't work for my most common clove hitch use case: tying a fender to a railing. What's a practical application of this?
it's used simular to this in climbing
Temporarily tying to a piling
Мой дед называл этот узел "щëголем"
Стремя
Not sure why I find this interesting...🤪
You must do that with one hand if you sailing
Best knot to use there would be a rolling hitch
👍👍🇺🇸
You got a put a half hitch on top or you will lose your boat
😊😊😊😊
That's a constrictor knot
Nosotros le decimos nudo de cochi
I'm going to have to keep trying. This one never works for me
This is how I start tying my shoes. Instead of keeping the loops on top of each other I pass them through
Will you show how to make a monkey's knot, please?
Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks
it's the only way i know :)
Fancy way to tie a double half hitch....
To do knot, or do not.
Wouldn’t work on a live tree.
👍
this is not the btk btw
No comment
its easy
Nudo de marrano
Instructions unclear: tied myself to the dock.

What's the use of a clove hitch? I'm not educated on these matters lol 🤷♂️
