Hey everyone, please keep watching and check out my most popular video next "8 Knots Everyone Should Know" ua-cam.com/video/Q9ruvjEDvTg/v-deo.htmlsi=Z-fQDJxeXJMWNRl3 and if you're looking for a gift for the person who loves to learn about and tie knots, check out the 50 Knot Journal amzn.to/468zKJI a small book I created to help fund these videos. Thanks for watching 🙂

Thanks for the video Jason and another winner if I might add. Like yourself I’m a camper/solo canoeist. My family often teases me as I can be found “playing with ropes” practicing knots. The simple Simon and slipped figure 8 were two knots I didn’t know. So thank you, you’ve given me a couple more to try out in Algonquin in a few weeks time.
I have just enrolled for master guide classes. Yesterday our instructor introduced us to ropes/knots so i decided to come and look for some helpful videos for a beginner like me. I am grateful i came across your channel. Am hoping to watch most if not all your videos and also recommend your channel to my coursemates. Keep up the good work. Thanks once more.🙏🙏
I much prefer to use knots over using gadgets to secure the line while being in the outdoors. When I secure my tarp, I use light shock cord to reduce the stress on the tarp. I attach the shock cord to the tarp using a cow hitch then to another piece of reflective utility cord using two bowline knots with a toggle. Then finished with a midshipmans hitch. Thanks for your videos.
9:13 If you did a slipped version of that bend would it affect the security? Seems like any hard-to-undo knot could be improved with a cheeky slipped version.
On the trucker’s hitch there is no need to tie in the initial loop. In my youth I used to watch truckers tying down vast loads of full bushel boxes of apples for market. All they did was put a double twist in the standing part, creating the same kind of loop; the advantage being that the whole thing just falls apart when the tension comes off. In the past I have used this many times to secure a canoe to the roof of my car.
I’ve seen it done that way too but usually add a slipped overhand or slipped figure eight. I think if I didn’t I’d have everyone on UA-cam telling me that’s not how you tie a truckers hitch 😂
I take your point re peer pressure. However, I do think the double twist was the original, here in U.K. I’m going back over 70 years and these were BIG loads. I never heard of it failing.

Thanks, yeah I thought the Simple Simon was a neat one (and easy) when I learned it. Have fun in Algonquin!

Cool idea, thanks

I haven’t tried but I think it would be ok if you had enough of a night and tail end to prevent it slipping
