@ambidex Жыл бұрын

rolling hitch (edit: awning hitch) has to cross over itself so that you can finish tying it under load, whereas the knot in the video is nearly impossible to tie under load. it's kind of the worst version of this kind of knot, I wish the Scouts program that has pushed tautline for decades would have used mid-shipman's hitch which is the knot people are referring to above where you go higher and higher. And the early scout books used to teach mid-shipman's but called it tautline, before being revised at some point.

How do you tie the taut line

@Gary-uy9mr Жыл бұрын

Also called the rolling hitch. One of the most useful knots i know, use it all the time like magic. But your final loop should go over the T line and wrapped in the opposite direction this keeps the double loop for the friction not in the right line for pressure. The way your trying it will cause it to loosen under vibration like high winds or while highway driving, like I said I've used this knot alot, including tying it incorrectly there for a bit.

@randallkornholio2971 Жыл бұрын

I've tied it both ways but the way tied in the video is technically correct for what is called the taught line hitch and i have used it to hold my slack line tightly when securing my kayaks to the roof of my car and it doesn't loosen when going down the road, that being said it's not the best knot for holding loads. You can also give it additional half hitches at the end to make the knot more secure, the adjustable grip hitch is more secure as well but tying the taught line hitch with the last half hitch in the opposite direction is admittedly very similar to the prusik with one less wrap so it stands to reason it would also be a secure knot. However if you want a secure knot for loads the best is definitely the truckers hitch.

Yep that’s the old school tree climbing knot lol still use it today from time to time going up and down trees.. also known as the dead man’s knot because if you don’t put a stopper knot in the tail it can roll until it comes undone. And let loose

@SineEyed Жыл бұрын

No, the knot climbers use is tied going the other direction on the rope. And if that knot is ever loose enough to fail under load, no stopper knot is gonna help. In fact, that's actually an incredibly bad practice to engage in: a climber needs to know how to properly tie/set/dress every knot he uses. _Especially_ the one he ties in with. That knot gets near constant adjustment while working a tree, so there's no excuse for it becoming loose enough to think you'd need a stopper on the tail. That's the type of complacency that will fall your ass out a tree one day..

Says the guy who probably isnt😢 an arborist to begin with 🙄.. every climber who has ever used that knot knows that it rolls and with that rolling it lentghens the bridge and shortens your tail and that’s why any climber who ever uses that knot will put a stopper knot in it or take a chance not doing so… please I’ve been climbing since I was 16….

My friend taught it with 5 to 7 wraps before the final splice and called it a fisherman's knot.

So that's how you create a noose. I've been searching for a while. Saves me a lot of time.

First learned this knot in a fishing magazine as kid and I still use it to this day.

This right here is what KZfaq and now shorts are truly made for. Not the flapping around 14 year olds. This is valuable knowledge.

This is the knot I would use to tie my harness to when climbing trees. Strong knot and useful when cutting down trees because you can tighten or loosen as you need to go up and down

This knot is also a good start to several other useful knots!

Im a rigger for the shipyards and we use the same configuration but on stationary components like metal round stocks to make pick-points and bridals. Essentially its a Dead Turn inside of a Clove Hitch. We call them Grave Hitches. When adequate tension is applied the knot will never slip.. the line would snap befor that knot does. Super useful

I'm horrible with knots, but after 20 years of not fishing i still remembered how to tie the palomar fishing knot. The only knot for fishing line you will ever need to remember.

Definitely one of my most used knots. If you experiment pairing it with toggles and a bowline on one in you can make a easily deployed ridge line. From my experience it is works best with bank line.
