This knot system uses a stopper knot and bowline. It can be used for several applications to include construction, firefighting, pipe fitting, and camping.

Said it before, this is the best knot channel around.
You're knot wrong on that!
This is my favorite channel and by far the best ropework/knotty channel!
Greetings from Germany. Best and interesting Chanel on YT. Makes my Life much easier👍
I love this video. It makes me wish that I had more “lowering” needs in my life.
I think your multiple uses for specific knots will be one of your most popular videos.
Superb instructional videos.
Every single child, boy or girl, should be taught fundamental knots. How does one go through life _without_ knowing about knots which are so useful in everyday life?
Edit: have you presented any knot that is not in ABOK?
I use this and modified forms of it fairly often, great knot. I'd love to have a better concept of how much tension it'll put up with, and specifically if there's any amount of tension that will pull the button through the loop. I think any time you can get it so the button & loop are laying on a surface, and are pulling into the surface, that surface makes the button completely secure within the strength of the cord because all the forces are opposed. In the example of the paint bucket handle I'm less confident that I understand how it'll work out, but I don't think a 1 gallon can of paint is anywhere near the force needed. A 5 gallon bucket of paint will usually have a more substantial handle where the 'pulling against a surface' situation comes into play. With the anvil, the clasp is floating in air and the other loops are pulling the clasp apart, this is the case where I think there could be some load limit where the button can pull through, but I'm not sure and I can't solve it in my head.
Very cool. Can't believe I got picked! :D
Very clever.
An invaluable skill to learn, you never know when this will help you in any situation.
Excellent video & use of the button knot!
Thinking about ideas.....A knot [somewhat difficult to untie 😂😂] that would be good for securing Christmas presents would be really handy right now-
I saw a roofer use a version of this with a two loop bowline to secure a tarp to a roof for easier one handed removal later. He put the first loop through the tarp grommet from underneath and stuck the second loop into the first loop from above and used the tail to lock in the second loop.The tail just needs to be longer than loops. Don't know the name but remember the knot.
He did a video on that very knot recently. He called it the Venus Fly Trap, it's a Portuguese Bowline with the two loops wrapping in opposite directions round an object, and the bitter end acting as the stopper as you describe.
👍 Have you noticed that you can set the button for quick release, if your tag end is long enough to remain behind when you "close" the button? Then to quickly undo the button, you simply release the load a little and tug on the tag end which pulls the button back out of its loop.
Hey great video, I'm a longtime fan, could you show an alterative for the bucket hitch? It'd doesn't seem to hold well.
Genius as always
Super useful! 👍🏻
Cool, did you not trust the army recon "unloading knot so you could have retrieved the rope without going down? It's just on or two overhand loops with a bight through that. Keep it in tension and when load reaches ground it will bump loose. Love the knot content here
I wish I could do as much with rope as you can. I realize that if I were to put the hours in to learn it, just like you had to, I might be able to. However, instead, I will enjoy watching your videos because there is something beautiful in watching someone perform a task that they have mastered.
I can't stand when people try to come off all complimentary and then throw in a backhanded compliment like if only you had all the time this guy had to tie knots you might be as good as him. Like this dude just sits around all day tieing knots.Forget work forget family his life is just knots.You just assume he sits there all day tieng knots and there's no way he could be good unless so. And you just assume you'd be good if you did also. Go ahead dude. Some people got it some don't. You obviously do not got it.
You can do it! I spent this whole year learning to tie knots and uses for them for tree work. I'm very comfortable with most situations now and still practicing.
First just repeat what he do, then take step by step screenshots of the video, add important commentary that he say, then add your notes and paintings on that screenshots, save it in album on your phone, that's your cards for memory, then practice when you feel like it, or sick of social media or something
button hook vs venus fly trap?
Break out the tie-breaker!
Cofee cup thing is a "cool party trick"
Grampy Thatcher gets right Grumpy Thatcher if he dont get coffee regular as he thatching !! n fresh pints in the afternoon!
The big tip for that mug is that a layer of marshmallows really calms the surface down, increasing the amount of jitter needed to get a real splash to happen
Once again, another nice knot ! What's your evaluation of the buttonhole vs. your "Venus Fly Trap" when used as a hitch with the standing end tensioned?
Question: Assuming you have a carabineer handy, is there an advantage the button hook provides?
Gandalf the Knot
This, the auto-releasing knot and the tripwire knot you've showed before are all similar in function using the bunk of a knot the take the load. Is there a name for this catagory of knot? I feel like there should be so you can better compare them
Can you do more videos of common things tied down to roof racks ?
Sure thing just let me know what you want to see
@@First_Class_Amateur Full sheets of plywood !!
Have you tried Battle cord over 1/4 para max. Battle cord is almost same diameter but 2.6 time as strong 2650 lbs vs 1000 lbs ???
👍‼️
👍🙏
I know you are a Marine, but clearly you have consorted with bosuns. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
If I wanted to use micro cord to tie a yo-yo What would be best?
I wouldn't trust that for anything fragile or heavy
This HDR video recording really hurts the eyes...well, at least it really hurts my eyes. Who do I need to be speaking to about this...the channel owner or RUclips?
