I agree with Daniel below. I am really enjoying all the knot of the week episodes. All my years on the Navy, I have never learned this flag pole knot. lol! Thanks much for this.

Thanks I just put up a flag pole for my dad and didn't know what to do with the excess rope. This looks nice

This really helped! I have having trouble getting the flag to stay exactly where I put it, because I was just wrapping and wrapping relaying on tension to hold it to the cleat.

Well done! A very informative demonstration without unnecessary promoting. Thank you!

Love the knot of the week episodes. I made a templar shield on my plate carrier with the butterfly knot. Looks good and i carry about 30ft plus of emergency 550 cord. Keep up the good work.

Hello, I don't know if anyone is still monitoring questions on here but I want to ask if I have a 30' flag pole how long of rope should I have. I ask because I just bought a house with a pole that desperately needs the rope and attachments replaced and I wanted extra line enough to tie it off at the bottom like you show.

You might want to check some videos for a cleat hitch for boating for example. Your half hitch lock is in the wrong direction.

yes I think you are right if it is supposed to be the same

@DavidLDFL 3 жыл бұрын

Not only that but he should have made a half turn around the cleat before the figure 8s.

Your cleat lock is in the wrong direction. The rope you pointed at that crosses over the rope should be across, not alongside the cleat. This will slip.

@agilis1 2 жыл бұрын

you should elaborate more. your explanation needs more clarity. use mm:ss. at no point is the halyard “along side” the cleat EXCEPT in the beginning and end AFTER its been locked in place twice. It will not slip because the stress is taken by the cleat once the halyard is wrapped underneath the foot of the cleat. then, once it is locked in place with the twist the halyard is then properly secured.

This video is incorrect. Thelocking loop should go over the top horn. If you're going to make an instructional video, make sure the information is correct.
