    Tip for new knotters - a clove hitch and two half hitches are the exact same knot. One goes around a pole, the other goes around the standing end

    0:27 Double knot is very secure and can be used to tie weights around the waist for pullups or dips.

    Very similar to the structure we use in fishing to tie braid and mono or flouro line together. Just with no wraps or finishing. Do this with several twists If you’re using thin line and it will still cinch down.

    Also known as weaver’s knot. Warp thread breaks on loom, loosen warp -do knot. Adjust warp and throw the shuttle, carry on.😊

    Oh! So it's like a larks head, but at the last second it veers left instead of going through the original loop. I bet that would make it much easier to disassemble.

    Would a stopper knot make this more secure? I want to tie some thin cloth with thin cordage, to support my body weight, and im afraid it’ll slip or tear. I know already the amount of tie out points I need to support my weight with the respective materials, I just haven’t figured out the logistics of the tie outs.

    • @thetautline
      @thetautline  Рік тому +1

      Use at least double sheet bend, with a stopper. The regular sheet bend should never be relied upon for life-critical loads.

    These are all backwards and will shake loose. Always make sure the working ends end on the same side of the knot.

    🤔 Shouldn't both tag ends be on the same side? You have them on alternate sides.

      I intended to make the same observation. It is always depicted, as you say, with the tag ends on the same side of the knot. I have never seen a discussion on how the holding power may be affected if otherwise, however. Perhaps this could be the avenue for the follow-up video, some actual testing, no?

      @@thetautline That's a very good study, your new video. There's a YT channel of some folks who take testing very seriously. They have a hydraulic rig set up with which they compare different knots and different cords. I can't recall the name of it now, but it's very popular amongst climbers for obvious reasons. I don't know if they've compared the sheet bend variants, but you've done a great job in your new video. Thanks for going to so much trouble 👍🏻
