My dad taught me this knot years ago. We were moving to a new house and I watched him tie up an old bedframe using twine. I’ve been using that concept for years to tie down loads in my truck bed. I recently improved it so that it is adjustable.

I know the first knot by the name "Lark's head". And using the knife for undoing that knot caused me emotional trauma. Also, Leatherman Raptor Rescue scissors - because people may spazz over knives, but they likely won't over scissors with dull tips. Nice spike!

Water bowline is what I'd tie if I didn't want whatever I had looped it to to ever be lost. Your, basically an improved butcher's knot, knocked it out of the park.

I would love to see a bushcraft series. But even more than that I'd love to see a PDF with step by step pics from your videos on how to tie certain knots. I know thats a big ask but just an idea

Haha, great idea and second the bushcraft series. Your comment sent me down a rabbit hole, or maybe I am just procrastinating to get away from the things I actually need to accomplish. Good news is it is possible to turn a YT video like this one into a PDF or other document. You can simply copy the transcript and paste into a pdf or other doc. Screen shot the images you like and insert at the timestamps. I haven't used it but it seems there is a paid service called Designerr that uses AI to do a potentially better or easier presentation. Here is a video with a quick demo. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7p5edto3MXIYn0.html

0:52 That's used in telephone central offices with waxed lacing cord for nice, neat bundles of telephone (or power) wire. Only, it's secured with the thing one does when tying shoelaces (not the double overhand you tied) and pulling it tight to that hitch (which I know as a larks head) cinching it down to however tightly you want to bind the bundle, much like a zip tie (because it is in fact the thing that preceded the zip tie). You can even make a loop so that it can easily be undone when needed.

@TesserId 2 ай бұрын

BTW, I've been cut often enough by zip ties that I almost always use this knot and other knots (like a marline hitch) used in traditional cable lacing instead.

Been in a CO for almost 25 years. It's still in use in my offices. No panning anywhere. Adding cable is easy. Removing cable sucks, especially when it's several layers deep. But when cables are laced well, it's damned sexy.

Once the loop has drawn the working end back through this looks like ABOK #1992 the "jamming hitch" which fits the class grog (of animatedknots) calls "slide and grip knots". Only in this case tied in the standing part around the working end, rather than the vice versa. For similar knots: the farrimond friction hitch spills beautifully when released and I've found Blake's hitch to have the strongest hold when gripping

I LOVE the Farrimond. Seriously, if you ever use a Tautline Hitch, switch to the Farrimond. You don't need to feed the whole rope though so it's great for tarps, especially when you don't want to cut your line, and it's super quick and easy to take down

@lakevna 2 ай бұрын

@@niceguy191 It's a lovely knot, also spills much more cleanly than slipped variations of the others since you only pass bights, never ends, around the standing part. Really the only point against it is that I find it a little fiddly to dress.

Why don't you use the serrated part of your knife? It works better for rope, especially if your smooth edge is dull. Thanks for the knot

@Changtent 2 ай бұрын

The serrated part of your knife blade is designed for cutting cords and ropes. Video at 2:37. The serrations will cut that cord quickly and easy.

@Samjs916 2 ай бұрын

The amount of cord this guy cuts and the difficulty of sharpening a serrated edge is probably why he avoids using it.

Hi, could you demonstrate a kind of knot which i can use to secure a motorcycle topbox, where the box is secured enough to not move while riding but having the ability to be quickly opened and redone. I have tried the trucker's hitch but once it is undone for any reason, it comes off completely. I am looking for something like the taught line hitch which can be easily redone without the removal of the entire rope. Thanks a lot..

@johnphelps9788 8 күн бұрын

The truckers hitch is better. It wont need cutting with a knife to undo and wont slip. With your knot, you say it will slip but not come undone so all's good. Not so, if the knot slips the tension comes off the load and whatever you've tied down is now not secured.
