You are the first person I've ever supported on patreon and thats because your videos are NEXT LEVEL. You are so informative, correct, and fun to watch. Thank you for all the hard work you do!! If you guys aren't yet supporters on patreon, consider throwing this guy at least a little bit each month!!

Man thank You so much! I have some dreams to have a team of ppl in the future helping me so that this would be more sustainable and I could simple launch videos more often. So any donation / patreon small or big is amazing since I can dump all of that back into this project! And sometimes share with ppl who helped me on short term basis for now :)

Best knot video I've seen! Something to consider: If you use accessory cord as your chalk bag belt, you will always have a length of cord that you can use for a friction hitch in an emergency.

Hey Ben! I’ve been a firefighter for over a decade and a majority of these knots and hitches are essential in our training and skill sets. Just wanted to say that your instruction on these is exceptional. I wish I had you when I was in rookie school. Very masterful job. Even today after all my experience and years in, have never witnessed such a great teaching on these. Thanks!

fun story: I learned belaying with the munter hitch and didnt realize that it was really uncommon that people would not use a belaying device. When I moved cities and went to a new climbing gym I had to learn belaying again with an instructor. I would say everyone should learn how to use it in case of an emergency. With this hitch it is even more important to always keep your hand at the rope or else it wont stop.

@robscott9312 4 ай бұрын

I congradulate you on a wonderful video, every person whether climber or not should watch this easy to follow, educational show. The training has been simplied so there is no need to spend countless hours learning the knots, I have learnt the Clove hitch using another technique and it works, but it took me dozens of times to perfect it. Your method can be learnt in minutes. This video may save someones life someday. Great Job, look forward to other videos.

@LexLuthor1234 5 ай бұрын

btw, i was just playing around with the knots and techniques shown (thanks again! :) ) and when doing the scaffolding knot tying it around a something (the last method you show of it), its possible running the standing part of the rope through it with a bite, making it a quick release knot, instead of, as u point out, a knot that can be pretty difficult to get opened back up. It might bring down the strength of the knot though, so everybody should think for themselves, and use it as it is fit.

Great video. Can i add that as far as i'm aware a two turn (double overhand) stopper knot loop is called a poachers knot, a three turn (triple overhand) is called a scaffold knot. A klemheist pulled upside down turns into a hedden hitch and works just as well, maybe slightly smoother in operation.

@HardIsEasy Жыл бұрын

Technically correct, although I asked rope access people and they also call double as a scaffold for simplicity...

19:00 I read in knot reference book that you can also wrap a carabiner along with the rope when making a Klemheist (with the flat side of the carabiner next to and parallel to the rope). Then when the Klemheist is finished, you can use the carabiner as a handle to move the Klemheist knot up and down along the rope.

A great super-practical use of a double fisherman knot is to make a belt out of utility cord for your chalk bag. This way, if you are in a pinch, you can remove your chalk bag, and you are left with some cord. Especially useful if you, like me, have a habit of dropping your autoblock :)

@HardIsEasy Жыл бұрын

How are you gonna remove the chalk bag from you? Square knot is a good one to know for tieing quickly something and untieing easy :)

@SincerelyBradley Жыл бұрын

@@HardIsEasy the great thing about a double fiserhmans is that it slides by moving the two knots away from each other. So i just step into the loop, and tighten! you only need to actually remove it if you are in a pinch!

@joshz6975 Жыл бұрын

@@SincerelyBradley yeah but for something intended to be untied, there's better knots than the double fisherman's, Double fisherman's tends to cinch up on itself really hard.

@stikphysh Жыл бұрын

@@HardIsEasy I do this with my chalk bag and tend to use an overhand bend. I find it holds better than a square knot, which can loosen when it's not under tension and the overhand bend is easy to untie since it doesn't get tightened too hard when used with a chalk bag.

@jaredasa626 Жыл бұрын

@@SincerelyBradley I'm "knot" sure that this makes sense. You cannot secure the loop at a shorter length without retying one of the double overhands. Also, why are you explaining how the knot works to the guy who just made an excellent video about how the knot works?

Thank you for this video. The clove hitch that you show with one hand is amazing. Learned it from a Petzl instruction sheet. The Münter is also possible: so instead of grabbing the opposite strand, grab the front strand in the same manner and it becomes a münter. Q: Hitches for rappel, above the tuber or below the tuber? I have my reasons for preferring one way over the other.

I feel like youd have to pay an instructor a lot to learn all of this stuff and even then it would need to be a dream instructor for them to go into this level of depth and make it so digestible, so honestly really appreciate this.
