    When it comes to static or dynamic rope, if you are cave exploring NEVER bring a dynamic rope for any inside-cave exploration.
    The last thing you want is to drop down into a chamber and unhook your line just to realize it was a dynamic rope... which springs back up once the weight is removed. The end of your rope is now four feet above your reach.
    Then again, you should never lower yourself down to the end of your rope.

    I'm an ironworker by trade, do a lot of rigging. Not only did you give the correct advice but you gave the most important correct advice. Lot of dudes get heat for not backing off the shackle, especially if you pitching to guys up in the air on a beam. Bowline is a great knot, the only other one I would say everyone should learn is the clove hitch.
    Can't stand how you roll up rope, but at least you roll it up. Great advice in this video.

    Great video, except Crosby shackles trainers told us Steel Mill Wrights to always fully tight shackles never back off. The reason being the steel gets more fatigued springing back and forth if it’s not tight. For screw pin shackles hand tight is enough with through bolt shackles you want to compress the bow a very small amount. If you’re doing rigging you should have a spud wrench with you anyway. Keep the PROHO videos coming!

    Merchant mariner here. Good information on that bowline knot that Cody tied. All knots reduce breaking strength of a line or rope as the landlubers call it. If I'm not mistaken from my schooling days it can be reduced by 50% by using a bowline which is why splicing an eye is preferable for certain tasks but also can be more permanent.

    • @Dan-gs3kg
      @Dan-gs3kg 8 місяців тому +1

      For that you ideally want a long tapered tail, and a wide eyelet as well. For highest knot strength, it's a figure eight with the knot being in the doubled over rope. For something that is more basic, I recall there is a U Join system for hanging hammocks, you simply bury line through itself with no taper until good enough.

    Curious as to why he would let the anvil live outside. You could oil it down all the time to prevent it from rusting but there is no forge or tools to use. Maybe they are in the works but everytime you want to forge or manipulate a piece of metal your anvil is nowhere near where you may be working.

    What a great video! There are always a couple of nifty tricks taught in each video. I'll have to remember to carry at least one ball from a ball bearing armature (some might call it a "ball bearing", but I prefer the name "bearing ball" since each ball itself bears the stress) with me, at all times...in case I have to test an anvil. Anxious to see how you're going to protect that anvil from the elements. Also: In case you read this...I highly recommend four books to you: "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross; "Molon Labe" by Boston T. Party; "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert Heinlein; and "Daemon"+"Freedom(TM)" by Daniel Suarez. Also, if you have not yet read "The Age of Spiritual Machines" by Kurzweil, that's the best book to help develop realistic expectations from AI (narrow artificial intelligence, such as lands our planes) to AGI (artificial general intelligence ...such as can cause a robot to operate like an independent, possibly superintelligent, organism) in the near future. You may copy, repost, paste, edit, and selectively respond to this comment, as needed, but this is a good set of recommendations for weathering what might be some very dark times, indeed. Also, don't read books online...buy hard copies and read offline. Also: Don't tell people what books you've read, unless you've already done so before you knew better. All of the prior are just my $0.02.

    Thank you for this video. Yes, the Bowline is rightly called "The Queen Of Knots."
    Sweet-looking anvil! I have heard that old German anvils are among the very best---but I have never owned nor even used any anvil. I did know that the "bounce" was key to the usefulness of an anvil.
    Speaking of knots, anyone who is more than a little bit interested in knots and splices, both practical and decorative, should get a copy of "The Clifford W. Ashley Book Of Knots," referred to by the cognoscenti as, "The CWABOK." It more or less predates the era of synthetic rope, and offers little for the mountain-climber, but outside those two shortcomings, it is truly a tour de force. Any prepper would do well to invest in a copy.

    • @c3bhm
      @c3bhm 10 місяців тому

      I think the best life-saver knot that everyone should learn is the figure-8, instead of the bowline. I used to climb for years and I've actually forgotten how to tie a bowline because there's too much memorization involved, which will fade without usage. Whereas the 8 is impossible to unlearn. There's nothing really to learn in the first place, since it's just an 8 that you re-thread. Just as strong and safe as the bowline, and you can't do it 'wrong' by mistake.

      I was a rigger at the Philly Navy Yard and currently a union ironworker. i've tied thousands of knots in my lifetime. if the bowline is king, then the clove hitch is queen. one could almost always use a clove hitch in place of a bowline, but one could never use a bowline if a clove hitch is needed. also, the ability to tie a bowline in the middle of a line comes in very handy when securing loads. an old Squid who worked at the navy yard with me taught me that knot. he called it a thumb bowline and that's what i've called it ever since.
