Superb video with outstanding visual tutorial technique. KZfaq is saturated with knot-tying videos but this creator is the gold standard of the genre. This tutorial style completely outranks most others because the creator prioritizes techniques that enhance the learning process: - Moving slowly and clearly. - Consistently keeping hands from covering the knot. - Pausing at every stage of tying the knot. - Repeating the demonstration. - Providing a simultaneous written description as the knot is being tied. - Using a flat surface of a contrasting color to the rope being used. - Remembering to also demonstrate how to UNtie the knot. Different people learn in differing ways; videos like this provide features that create tutorials which include different modes of learning to make things easier for all viewers.

He slows down in crucial moments and then even pauses but then resumes again at normal speed. One of the better knot tying videos on KZfaq.

this is a great video, and I learned 4 new knots I didn't know before. Thank you. That said, I have to quesiton the trucker's hitch you show here. And I notice in the demonstration it isn't snugged down tight. I think you've tied a slip knot for the loop, and if you put tension on it, that loop will close up tight and be difficult or impossible to untie. A trucker's hitch as I was taught uses a different loop that will not close up under tension. To be fair, the one I was taught does not work with slippery line, so one of the other knots might be better. I urge you to check some other trucker's hitches.. particularly on sailing websites to see a hitch that will not close up under tension. Keep up the good work.

Wow! It only took the better part of a century for someone to make a easy to see and follow video with good lighting. 👏

Nice video. I learned a few new knots and ideas in this video. The second knot that you tied is actually not a Taught-line hitch, it is very close but you actually tied a Magnus hitch. They do the same thing but the difference is in the direction you go when you come out of inside the loop after the 2 wraps and then finish the final loop. In a Taught-line hitch, you cross over the standing end and then you do the final loop. Many people confuse this.

By far my favorite is the automatic trucker hitch. I used it for any temporary line tighten need. Great video easy to follow steps.

The first one is also known as a woodland zip tie and it's an *amazing* knot for lashing soft things to your pack!

Excellent speed, I do agree you should drop the music and maybe add some info on pros/ cons for each knot. Thx

Great show n tell. One of the best I’ve seen. Simple, short, but clear enough to understand. 👍👍👏

i am using the truckers hitch to hang my clothes in the sun on a rope line, earlier i couldnt properly tension the rope, now its a lot better! thanks!

when tying the prussik at 9:00, offset the double fisherman's knot so the carabiner isn't resting on it when you're done

Really good uses demonstrated. I see these knots but never thought of using them like that before. Great video.

Great knots, very cleanly presented. Thank you.

Uno dei più bei video sui nodi. Semplice, pulito con uno sfondo che non confonde ma anzi aiuta a capire meglio l'esecuzione dei nodi. Molto esplicativo ed istruttivo. Bravissimo! 💪👍👏

Brilliant!!! Cheers from Ireland ☘

Appreciate you taking the time to make this easy to follow video.

Awesome video. I love knots.

Nice work, loved the music, too! Thanks for sharing, Steve

Thanks for sharing and making it very easy & then pausing it which is a GREAT HELP as also learning some other new knot’s COOL MUSIC FROM A NOVICE PLEASE MORE OF YOUR CONTENT 🙏🏽💯👍🏽🙏🏽APPRECIATED.

very good 👍 not easy to find out which one is the best

Well done... I learned so much

Pretty cool knots. I like it.

The song is a banger too. Just like the content. Thanks for sharing

Outstanding. this old dog leaned a few new ones.

Well done!!!!!!

Great info, ty

Excelent tutorial.

I like the Farrimond friction got hitch the most

Fantastic video Fantastic teacher

Excellent!!!

Wow, excellent video. No time wasted its focused on the topic. Not focusing vloggers face.

Gostei do vídeo

Amazing gays...

Awesome

Great set of knots! It's always good to see a video that makes you think about how to tie good knots. The Blake's hitch is one of my favorites because it's so secure. The "Barrel hitch" and "Exploding barrel hitch" were totally new to me. You may want to call your "Quick Release Taut-line" hitch a "Quick Release Magnus hitch", because Ashley and others use the name "Magnus hitch" to indicate a Rolling or Taut-line hitch but with the final hitch tied in the opposite direction, like in your video. The current Wikipedia page shows the Magnus hitch in this way. Anyway, keep the knot videos coming! How about one called "the difference between the Taut-line hitch and the Magnus hitch"? Most viewers could learn a lot from you!

How to choose the best knot GUIDE and SUMMARY of this video: The farrimond hitch is essentially a Prusik with a bite (an unclosed loop) of the rope placed in the Prusik's bite/loop and then everything is tightened. This is really interesting, It also makes more wraps around the line than other knots per movement. More loops means more friction. (2 coils/loops per wrap. Sorry for my poor terminology). The prusik is known as the most reliable or one of the most for climbing. This means that it should be similarly reliable and trustworthy . (yes, adjust the amount of loops of any of the knots as needed per application). Knots should not have more methods of tightening and/or adjusting friction than useful and definitely not any that could interfere with another as being interdependent which is most commonly true. (I mean it iș a problem when by adjusting one part of the knot another one gets changed and therefore chaos happens instead of predictable adjustments). Other than that, knots should be easy to untie and tie even with hands that are slippery and freezing cold and injured in any way. Moreover that , it is less important but also beneficial to have the knot be easily used for many purposes or modified easily into the best versions of knots for other applications. Another factor to consider is the obviousness of the knot . I mean inspect ability. But this goes along with easy to tie knots . (for example The kalmyk knot is known to be used in extreme cold conditions even with very thick gloves (which limit dexterity). It is not shown in this video because it is not an adjustable tension knot). This video shows various knots but does not show any real world tests. Mostly the knots vary by the amount of wraps and some variation. My conclusion for now is to use the farrimond hitch for light loads depending on the scenario. The trucker's hitch with autolocking variation - but as my idea which uses prusik knots instead of the standard quick release loops - for heavier loads. The jam knot is interesting that it is typically tightened laterally instead but I don't of any scenario where this would be useful. If you have any suggestions to improve this guide please send me a message here. I suspect that there may be knots more suiting these criteria and/or some criteria I did not consider.

😊great knots

Farrimond is my favourite for normal use like camping. For stronger use (load on trucks), truckers hitch.

I love you ! Hojojutsu !

Great video. I would have added the archer's knot.

Which one would you say is the strongest?

Класс!

I'd love it if there were chapters.. (I also love the example-first method-later order).

Great, helpful, video; but for a novice like myself, it would have been good to have some examples of situations where each knot would be best used.

Could you show the board setup for those new to knot tying.

❤❤❤❤❤

I liked your video, it very clearly shows how to tie the knort. However, you're doing the tautline wrong. This is essentially a rolling hitch on the standing part. The third loop should go around the standing part in the same direction on the outside as the first two do on the inside.

👍

I like the second to the last one, using a prusik tensioner assist to re-dress a fixed line. ... music in interesting too. My wife thought I was watching porn in here.

First was girth hitch as cross was on top. Cow is underneath. Second ts prussik.

1 00:20 2 01:55

The taught line hitch was kind of off. All the wraps useually go the same direction but you seem to reverse on the last wrap. I'll have to test it out and see if it holds as well but it's definitely not the standard way of doing it, you can reference it via the Ashley book of knots, or any other tutorial that shows the correct way of tying it.

I want to see how he ties his shoes

just a poor simple bastard!!~

A true truckers hitch uses a directional figure eight loop.

😍😍😘😘🥰🥰

Ya left out a bungee or a fair sized rock dangling at the free end …

That is not a Taunt-Line Hitch!! The last wrap is wrapped incorrectly.

This is torture!!

retaightening, really! how about a proof read now and then?

Aaagh! a knot guy tying a ganny shoelace knot instead of a square shoelace knot. @1:30??? I laugh every time i see that. Old habits die hard. So many people learn tying shoes by watching someone and mirroring their movements, which is backwards, and that creates the granny knot. Just wind it clockwise instead of counterclockwise and you'll have a much more secure knot.

dumb and irritating pauses. Dude, youtube allows to pause or even slow down playback when watching needs it.

музика дебільна!!!! на голову давить!!! не робіть так більше!!!

Why would you include such a distracting sound track? Folks shouldn’t have to mute instructional videos.

This ‘music’ sucks

Big fan of the taut line hitch, super brainless knot.
