I invented a NEW KNOT.. and its a GAMECHANGER
Рет қаралды 202,340
Ай бұрынThe first publication of The "Bear's Grip" Hitch.. A new type of "Kamikaze" Remote Release Hitch.
I have decided to call it the "Bear's Grip" Hitch. And by all technical standards, it's not a single "knot," nor is it a single "Hitch" on its own...I don't think.
I would classify it as a rigging system, similar to a "Truckers' Hitch," for instance.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Here are some links to my other videos AND to my Knot Tying Kit if you want to support the channel:

I came into this with a strict eye, fully prepared to give you shit; but yeah I think you may be the first documented use of this. Good job. 3:55 my only gripe is calling the stage 1 portion a fail safe. I would debate that the bell ringer does not have a "fail safe," just a standard operation for removal, after all I don't call the tail ends of my shoe laces a fail safe because I have to tug on the part designed to be tugged on to untie the knot. Without what you call "fail safe 2" then there's no mechanical prevention of the designed function of the bell ringer so by that logic I debate that this knot only provides 1 fail safe, not two. I knew a guy who invented one of these, and it's incredibly similar to the knot we all use for tying your shoes, but the idea is you have a ballast on the tail, and when you shake the rope to free the load, that shock force causes the ballast weight to pull on the tail and collapse the knot. You just have to calculate for friction of load, but he had this magic ratio, worked flawlessly with a carabiner inserted to prevent the rope binding on itself; it was that chaotic blend of a knot that slips under load a little on purpose just enough to let itself go when you had it about 5 ft off the ground then shock dropped it another 4 feet. His was one of those knots though I could never get the hang of, but that man was a wizard. But we get in a lot of shit for using these on radio towers. So i ugh... hmm.. never ughh used one before ;p *edited for grammar

@@TheTeddyPlayGames fwiw I don't feel super confident that knot theory really encapsulates what's going on here (to my understanding as a layman it's concerned with knots that don't care about the orientation of the rope more than ones that are, so for example the figure-eight safety hitch thing he's doing wouldn't really "exist" if I understand it right, which I may well - ehem, which I mightn't.

When looking at them I always just felt the depest confusion, litteraly like they became sensored with a pixel-filter at the very moment I tryed to understand them. I always was just happy about, when I managed to tie my shoe laces properly. But with your videos you gave me a better understanding, because you explained the deeper mechanics behind all your knots, what is the reason why I actually overcome my nemisis. Last year I was in Swedens wilderness for a couple of weeks to prove myself on that. I'm so happy for you, you invented the Bear's Grip Hitch and tied your passion into stone with this. Thank you!

I've been practicing this lowering a dumbbell to the floor and it's working great, no accidental releases or refusals to shake loose yet! And I loved the LOTR reference because that's what I was thinking of too. However, as I recall it (from the book, not sure about the movie) Sam intended to sacrifice his rope to get them down the cliff, not to tie a retrievable knot, and was embarrassed when the rope came free. Later on, when Gollum comes back into the picture, it's implied that he untied the rope. So, I would like to call this the Gollum knot. Besides Gollum's role in the story, it would be a reminder to be very wary of trusting the knot when the stakes are high.

@@atomatopia1 Yes, I went back to "The Taming of Smeagol" and realized that I was wrong. Gollum was in fact tracking Frodo and Sam at that point, but he found the touch of the elven rope to be excruciatingly painful, so it's very unlikely that he untied the rope. So Sam's idea that the rope magically returned to him when he needed it must be the explanation, and the most LOTR-accurate name would be the elven knot or the Galadriel knot.

If you have enough rope (at least double the drop) you can use a butterfly knot and a carabiner at the middle of the line. Put the rope around the thing to be lowered, then clip the 'biner to the the rope. One side of the rope will hold tension, the other will release the whole thing and pull through. Works similarly, but doesn't need the shaking. This does require a lot of rope though, so not too good for longer distances. Great knot! I'll add the bears' grip hitch to my repertoire.
@rupertrussell1 13 күн бұрын
But one thing to thing about using a butterfly knot and a carabiner is that the half of the line that you use to use to retrieve the carabiner can be a light weight cord and it does not have to be the other half of the 11 mm abseil line. So you can use almost the full length of your repel rope as long as you also carry the same length of a 2mm or 3mm cord. I have used that trick and it works well.

Amazing, and it was just waiting to be discovered for thousands of years. Really cool pushing a fundamental human skill to another level in the modern age.

Received my knot tying kit a few weeks ago and it’s awesome. It has helped me retain the techniques better than any other aid I’ve used. Love the picture card showing where you’d use these knots in a basic camp setup. Now, how cool that you’ve created this new not. Like all knots, there’s a time and place for each one. Great job and thank you!!

So. KZfaq understands that I both watch a lot of math videos, and a lot of bushcraft videos. When I clicked on this video I originially thought it was about topology. But this was cooler. That know is sick! and thanks so much for answering the same question about rope-work I saw in fiction! My golly what a cool knot.
