The ability to tie the best knot for every possible application is equivalent to having a box full of tools and knowing how to use them. It's a very satisfying feeling to know the right knot for every specific job and it's amazing to learn the unique functions of each.
Bowline, clove hitch, and square knot are the only knots everyone needs to know. Edit: a few clarifications are needed: 1. Knots are a language. Keeping knotting simple, standard, and organized allows one person to tie a knot and another to untie it because both understand the language involved. 2. I chose this set of knots as a set of basic forms that easily yield a number of variations. The clove hitch itself isn't the most useful of knots, but two half hitches is just a clove hitch tied back onto the line to form a loop. The square knot is often deemed overrated, but the shoelace knot is just a square knot with bights for quick release. 3. The point is not that these knots cover every single situation, but expertise in them would get 95% of people through their whole life, and the other 5% will use these knots 95% of the time. 4. After expertise in these knots is achieved, for most people I would recommend learning some splices, whipping, and other line care. After that, move onto more specialized and trade specific knots.
What do you use the clove hitch for? I have found it to be a very unreliable knot. At least for critical applications. I generally only use bowline and square knots myself.
@danroberts9050 clove hitch is the same thing as two half hitches. Once you've learned clove hitch you've learned two half hitches and all it's variations plus the cleat hitch. Between all those knots you can do basically anything. Only place I use square knot is on my shoes, and even then I have to double it to be reliable.
@danroberts9050 as for clove hitch itself, I tend to use it for relatively light applications when I'm using synthetic materials, like using nylon to hang a fender from a steel rail. Or I'll use it to help get more friction as a round turn for some half hitches. It can handle better weight in natural settings in my opinion, so I like to use it to start and finish lashings when I'm using natural fiber on rough timber. To be clear, there are other useful knots for specialty situations; my opinion is only that expertise in these three knots will get 95% of people through every situation passably and after learning them I'd recommend learning a few splicings and lashings before getting into other knots.
@@maxwellschmidt235 I've found the same thing. Different materials act differently with various knots. I think it's really a matter of having a good arsenal of knots and being aware of how the react to the rope materials. I do several things requiring knots and certainly what you want from a knot varies.
@danroberts9050 I'm one of the only marlinespike sailors I know in offshore workboats, my feeling is the arsenal should be as small as will get the job done. If my coworkers knew everything about bowline and clove hitch, and only those knots, we'd save a lot of the lines that I carefully splice and whip for them to use. (Bearing in mind what I said about two half hitches being a variation on the clove hitch in my opinion- similarly the sheet bend being a variation of the bowline).

Caric Bend, Zeplin Knot, and Bowline, Clove hitch.... I like knots I can get untied. A Caric Bend (X 2 ) can join a chain and a cable and not kink the cable. And you can pull on it with a pickup truck and get it untied with out a fid.
Years ago I borrowed a mix of nylon tow strap, rope, chains, and tied five 4 X 4 pickup trucks together (much protestation by the owners of the trucks and tow straps) and tied on to the tail end of a 'jack knifed' 14' wide mobile home blocking both lanes of U.S. Highway 40 near the top of Rabbit Ears Pass in N. W. Colorado. In concert, the 4 X 4s dragged the end of the mobile home far enough to clear one lane of traffic. Much to the surprise of the owners, I untied it all with no damage to the straps, and we got back on the road. I'm a (former) blue water sailor. Rope skills are vital for anyone venturing 'off shore' in a small sail boat.
Friend, I learned how to tie knots when I was a scout. They taught me how to tie simple but effective knots. We had to do them normally, with our eyes closed and behind our back, because they said you don't know when and how you will need to use them. Yours are too complex to have those characteristics.
The other good thing about simplicity is when someone needs to come behind and untie or adjust your knots. If your buddies can't quickly figure out how to untie your work, you're gonna waste a lot of line.
And it shows again. The only knot for these usages is a bowline. But with the end on the outside. Otherwise it can get jammed on the thing you are fixing it to
That's funny! It's not a Bowline if the Tail isn't on the inside. The reason being, the bowline is used for tying the Sheets to the Clews of Jibs and if the Tail is on the outside it fouls on Shrouds and Stays when Tacking.
Two different people, two different applications. I personally prefer to use the variation with the working end on the outside (aka left hand bowline) most of the time. Only on the occasions where I want to make a double loop, do I use the standard variation.
@@UguysRnuts like I said, when I want to make two loops, around two different anchor points, I put the working end on the inside, so I can use it to make a sheet bend. Other than that, I just tend to like it more on the outside. A rock climbing friend of mine once told me it was stronger, but I don't think it is. Just a personal preference I guess.
Er komen steeds meer knopen op de markt,vaar meer dan 60 jaar de knopen die ik dagelijks gebruik zijn er nog geen 5 Splits dynema staal nylon enz maar dat doe je alleen incidenteel.
Not I. The son of a Great Lakes Freighter Captain showed me a much faster way. Make a bight, use it as the new end to tie an overhand knot around the standing part and compact it into your fist with the bight and tail protruding. Do this in advance so that when you need to make fast you just run the tail around the object and through the bight, hold the tail static and pull the standing end which capsizes the pre-tied part into a perfect Bowline. One second max.
When you move the tag end from one side of the knot to the other and back again, I looks more like a magic trick than an instruction video. Just make the knot.

Simply brilliant! You are the only one that points the rope direction in an understandable way. THANKS! 😃

Seriously, though, why the music?
thank you very much sir for the wonderful compliment. for the music to be pleasant

Thank you sir 🙏
Very helpful 🙂
Thank you 👍
Супер.!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Nice👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you sir 🙏
The double loop knot has a nice look but testing it feels a little sketchy. Needs just another compression point i think at the end
I was trying the spanish bowline for awhile then found the fig.-8 double loop and loveits simplicity
👍👍

Первый узел, как по мне опасный! Я бы конец привязал к основной веревке.
2nd knot. You could do a double loop figure 8.
What type of rope is that and where can you buy it?
Gift to me sir
Climbing rope
У нас такие веревки, причем, разной толщины, зачем-то продают во всех магазинах хозтоваров.

Yours are too complex to have those characteristics.
His third one was a standard bowline. Was that too complex for you? (His first one was absolute trash-I wouldn't trust it for anything)
The other good thing about simplicity is when someone needs to come behind and untie or adjust your knots. If your buddies can't quickly figure out how to untie your work, you're gonna waste a lot of line.
@@maxwellschmidt235 I agree with your words
Невже граємо в наперсток ?
Il serait bien de présenter les cordes avant les nœuds....
Первому и третьему узлам я бы свою жизнь не доверил
Whenever you tie a bowline you need to leave enough rope at the end for a figure 8 or that short end can slide back out when it goes slack.
🎉❤you are the Best🎉❤ i love the round, doubled second KNOTEN
Thank you sir 🙏

This is a method I've used for years to make the two loops, using the bowline.
Let me see you tie a scaffold hitch with equalizing bowline
Yet both will serve my purpose.
Из трёх узлов настоящий узел "Булинь" Он же "Беседочный" - угадайте какой! Остальные узлы практической ценности не имеют.
Последний. И то есть и способ проще, и контрольный узел не сделан.
That second knot is a wicked looking un-bowline……..
Hola ok
👍👍
첫번째는 엉터리 매듭이다.
Your 1st ( knot) is not a knot, it's a hitch, big difference
They don't have hitches in knot manuals?

@@corvavw6447buttons? uh... what's that have to do with knots and hitches? 🤷🤦
Yeah, no. Hitches and bends are types of knots.
Your the kind that finds fault in everything😡
Don't do anything stupid. Everyone knits a bowline.
Mr. is not just a bowline knot here

When you move the tag end from one side of the knot to the other and back again, I looks more like a magic trick than an instruction video. Just make the knot.
and if you have 50 meters of rope??? the 2nd knot would be impractical, too tedious to do. lols...let's just buy a carabiner instead....
The ends don't care how long the rest of the rope is
