What happened to part 2? I loved 1 and 3. Trying to teach my kids about rope, knots, etc. so they can be more self reliant.

"Under that one, around all of it" for the alpine butterfly. Love this.

@1stFlyingeagle 3 жыл бұрын

On butterfly. wrap twice around the hand and the third wrap put between the first two wraps. Now grab 2nd wrap and wrap around 1st and 3rd wrap. Just another way to get the same results.

Great series on knot tying, I'm glad you split it up into multiple videos, it seems to take away some of the dauntingness of learning to tie the knots, this part of climbing is of course the most important, but it's also the least exciting to learn, do and watch, thank you for the great videos!!!

Fisherman's termination knot is just another name for poacher's knot, isn't it?

Hey, a simple addition to the anchor bend is the double anchor bend, which does not need a stopper. I never use a stopper on my single anchor bends anyway. Ive literally never seen my rope move an inch.

I use the anchor bend as well,simple and effective, easy to remember. Greetings from British Columbia

Josiah, in thinner rope the figure 8 can still be difficult to untie if shock loaded when tied "backward". What is backward? It's when it is tied where the standing end loop in the knot is closest to the climber, on top of the working end. That is actually how you tied it in your demo. If you enter the retie on the right side of the rope (from the viewer's perspective), the loop closest to the climber/branch/tied object is the working end, which receives loading only on one side, and is then much less tight and always easier to untie. I use a nemonic for the rethread; "outside in, inside out". When the rope enters the rethread, it lays on the outside side of the other rope (I.E. on the right side in your video from the viewer's perspective).

Fluently done, but a suggestion I would make is that you position the camera to look over your shoulder. When you tie knots facing the audience, we have to transpose left to right. Yes, it can be done....with a little more thinking time...but why add the complication?

I don’t think I’m know of the anglers loop ? This series is just the knots I use virtually every day. There are a great many more excellent knots, but I haven’t found need of them yet ;)

@darrenmoore2305 3 жыл бұрын

Awesome videos,,,, thanks for doing them. Although I'm no expert, I think the knot series would be easier to grasp, if you were showing the knot you are tying with the footage behind, the camera forward knot demonstration makes it a little more difficult to decipher. Kinda like learning to tie a knot while looking in a mirror. Cheers

maybe when I get a little more sophistocated with my camera situation a few more angles would be a good idea

Poison Ivy. The best all around climbing line for sure. It was made by Yale but now it’s made by Samson in a few different colors. It’s the same thing as Yale Blue Moon. 11.7mm. Best climbing line IMHO.

Can I ask a question?? I’m in the uk when I had my training we used the running bowline on our aerial rescue, on a pole to advance with our flip line with a figure 8 stopper knot. Would this be classed and safe as life support?

@gamingsqaud22 3 жыл бұрын

I was taught by Humber college in Ontario last. We were taught a double overhand is a better stopper knot; it’s a lot harder to accidentally untie.

Hey buddy what is the best knot to tie on your bridge for your climbing belt both sides

@Celric_Death 2 жыл бұрын

Fisherman stopper knot on both ends for securing your bridge to your harnesses/climbing belt. Safest knot for it I'd say and is pretty much the only one used on all rope bridge harnesses. if you mean attaching the rope directly to your bridge for some reason, you could use a fisherman termination or a anchor knot.

Actually, the figure 8 will become very tight even when dressed when it is loaded in a fall (Rock climbing) I have been rock climbing in a rewoven bowline and it unites far easier than a figure 8

@14guitars67 Жыл бұрын

Have you tried tying your rethread the other way? There are two ways for the rope to thread. One leaves the top knot loop only loaded on one side, and is much easier to untie.

Nice video, but(don't you hate buts from a non expert thats watched a video?) one thing about using the Alpine Butterfly isolate a "nick" in the rope. I've seen a test on youtube where an Alpine Butterfly failed at about 55% of the ropes breaking stain. That would want to be "some nick" you were isolating. Thoughts? I guess a known loss of strength is better than a guess?

@Stridertrees 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I’d love to see that video, those actual controlled rope tests are very informative. Obviously one shouldn’t be on a compromised rope for any length of time, but breaking that early would be worse than the rope strength reduction of a bowline !

@stusue9733 3 жыл бұрын

@@Stridertrees Yes it is worse than the bowline re strength(also tested in the video), but he is no fan of the bowline as life support either(see the second video). I'm not sure I agree but then I don't unclip from a bowline and leave it swinging in the breeze, still worth knowing about. For those in a hurry the Alpine butterfly test starts at 17:48. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7Bld82bzKq6ZoU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7xhe7qY09S2gZs.html

Great video. I've added you to my list! I used the Alpine Butterfly to drag some would and had a heck of a time untying it afterwards. I switched to the Farmer's Loop. Very close to the same not as the Butterfly, but with an extra loop I believe and it unties with little effort after loading. Haven't used the Butterfly since. Just an FYI.

There is a "trick" for a figure 8, that's easy to untie. If the loadstrand does not go on the outside of the first curve, it's way easier to loosen. "Hard is easy" made a video about that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h6eiYNh5yZ7MaKM.html

@pproh608 3 жыл бұрын

Friendly critique. The "fisherman's termination knot" is not the name of that knot. It's called a Poachers knot. This is important because if someone wants to look the knot up to learn how to tie it, it's listed as a Poachers knot in published knot materials. It's important to use the legitimate name of these knots to maintain consistent terminology.
