    I'd use the inline 8 for a rope that I didn't intend to re-purpose. I personally prefer a directional slip knot for ease of untying and storing. Any thoughts?

    • @OutdoorAcademyAustralia
      @OutdoorAcademyAustralia 6 днів тому

      I find this to be as easy to untie as a bowline and less stress on the rope than popping out a slip knot. Also if the loop twists when pulling out the slip knot, it can bind up.

    Thanks for the video! I use this hitch to attach the anchor line to anchor trolley's ring on my kayak. It's easy and convenient to tie with just one hand. Just pull the first bite through the ring, grab a bite from the standing line, repeat with the free end and that's it. In a case of some emergency or if you just got a really big fish and don't want to let it tangle around your anchor line, you just release this knot and throw the rope away, there is a float on the end so you can pick it up later. btw, we call it pirates hitch in Russia.
