You probably have two types of visitors: Those who work with knots every day and those who need one once every five years. I'm one of the latter, and I especially appreciate the clarity of your video, including using ropes of different colors. (So many "how to's" use two white ropes. By Step 5, it's a hopeless spaghetti bowl!) Bravo, Urban Skills!
You can very clearly see every step that he takes. . . He has to hang on to each shape so they don't unravel, but its not as if he's doing something super complex. Just watch again but change the playback to be a more appropriate speed for you to follow, perhaps quarter speed?
This part of the rope he covers at 0:28 isn't the working part so it doesn't matter that it's covered. This is a terrible metaphor but think of what happens when you pack the car for a road trip, your items are in the boot and you need them where you're going but not during the driving.
Yeah, he should pause for a few seconds after each step so people can check their work. I just paused the video. I'm not smart enough to go as fast as this video, lol. Still a great video though.
Only took me about ten rewinds with speed at .25x and pausing the video at least 30 times but I did it! Then i need to do it again 5 mins later so here i am because i already forgot. I am left handed, dyslexic and have adhd.. so I only have one knot memorized at the age of 36, and it's the one i learned to tie my shoes when i was like 8 i think i finally figured it out.
Thaank you for the good knot. It is a very strong and nice looking knot. I tested it using a lubricated nylon monofilament, and it give no slip at all.
THANK YOU!! I'm working with thin shock cord, and need to make a CIRCLE. Ive been going NUTZ looking for knots that won't slip, or a clamp and hownto use it.... 😅😅😅😅 This is gping to work NICELY. By the time im done with my project, I'll even have a new skill! 😊 Hope youre still making vids! Gonna check it out, after I tip off another commenter on another vid about this one. It might be what HE needs, too.
Great video. I almost missed a step, because the guy is almost ambidextrous at the end, pulling both tag ends through at the nearly same time. Once I figured out that both ends were threaded through on each side, I mastered the knot.
Nice demonstration Thank-you! For the record, that's a Reever bend, not a Reever knot. When you tie two ropes, or two ends of the same rope, together, it's called a bend. A knot is used on one end of a rope or somewhere along the length of a rope.
They are all ultimately knots, the term knot applies to all of them. Further specification is only necessary for people who are in a type of work that deals with knots a lot.
Nice description and video. Nice knot. I'll need to jam test it, but looks interesting. Slipped it makes a fancy looking shoelace that is very secure...
I think you should remove from the label of your video that this is a tip for joining climbing ropes. Joining two climbing ropes together for rappel involves a couple best practice standards such as an EDK and if someone uses your knot and it should slip under tension, it will likely result in someone or some climbing pair's death.
That's not true. This special Knot was published by an Alpine Journal and is very strong and non-slippery. It is frequently confused with the Vice Versa Knot or Square Knot, but that would be a simpler knot.
My dog chewed through their 5m leash as she knows I always buy her - guess I out smarted her this time! Currently losing 3-1 but I can see myself making a comeback!
I think the comment was asking what would one use this for? Will it hold up the body weight of a human hanging from a hammock in a tree? Or is it good for hauling heavy items?
With just hand loading, I nearly jammed this knot. An actual load would have jammed it solid. Be prepared for this knot to be permanent. I wonder how many people out there are testing knots.
Flipping the bend over to see the others side would have been nice. And are you sure this is a Reever Bend? I've seen other videos that show the bend tied differently... I'm unsure of which is correct.... This looks like what some folks tie as vice versa bend. Unfortunately I see neither of these in Ashley's Book of Knots (ABoK).
I make this knot but in a different way than this I start by the way you tie a sheet bend but instead of just going around the neck I go under first and finish in usually way
I have to keep letting go of my knot to pause the video I. Order to make the next move. Every time I let go, the knot comes undone. Need to hold still for 10 seconds or so between moves so we can look away, do the move and look up again.
Only took me about 15 attempts....not sure its exactly right, but it seems to be secure enough enough. I was making a loop to secure a boat key to one of those floats so ya don't lose it overboard.
if it's not _exactly_ right then it's not right at all. WHy did you find it so difficlut? I learnt it from this video in..2 minutes If you are making a loop you need a Bowline knot. this one if for connecting two ropes
It depends on what you want. The Square is easy to remember, easy to inspect for proper tying, and does not jam easily. The Reever is nearly impossible to remember and nearly jammed on me with a moderate load. The Reever is more secure than the Square, and you may want a jamming knot for whatever reason. If joining two ropes, my personal favorites are the Zeppelin Bend, Butterfly Bend, and Sheet Bend. If I want the bend to be permanent (jam), I will tie a Double Fisherman Bend.
@@jakemccoy That's why you have to practice knots again and again to train your muscle memory. The Reever knot is one of my favorites and has the advantage that you can secure the ends with yarn for longer durability, as the ends run parallel, unlike the Zeppelin knot.
@@HerbertHeyduck The Reever Knot did not make my top 100 knots because of the jamming issue. However, I do know some knots have an untying trick. I could not find it for the Reever. Videos like this should show the untying trick. Untying is just as important as tying.
@@jakemccoy That's right, untying is just as important. However, the Reeverknot is just as easy to untie as other very good knots. This knot was only invented at the beginning of the 20th century and was highly praised by alpine societies. It took me a while to get it right, but as with many other knots, practice is the key. Although there are around 600 knots, I only practised 20 knots. I practise them regularly on quiet days.
@@HerbertHeyduck The International Guild of Knot Tyers (IGKT) has a lengthy thread about the Reever. I cannot post a link without my post getting auto-deleted. In the thread, they discuss why this knot is not used in climbing or abseiling. It’s worth a read if you want to be aware of the knot’s limitations.
Thanks for the video. You're very good at what you do. I can see that with the movements of your hands and fingers. For me as a beginner, I need more mechanical instructions like a step by step. Your hands cover a lot of critical movements and rope pattern that makes it more challenging to follow. I had to play your videos many times till I was successful. I watched the video from ua-cam.com/video/jjmXgGn52bg/v-deo.html and was successful on the first try.

There's another type, I'm the type that wanted to randomly tie my short strings together
And another! I'm making a necklace
Shibari
Totally agree! 😊
Man, I learned this knot from this video and then it came unknotted from my memory because here I am again. Thanks!
Especially liked the part where he covered everything he was doing with his hands, great stuff!

No.
0:28
Maybe you're a professional knot dude or something but I can't see shit.

@YourHostNathanBurke 😴
Why are you blocking the knots with your hands?

It is a very strong and nice looking knot.

man really cool worked perfectly..But i need to watch this video in 0.25x speed to follow him😅
Best knot. Thank you. 🪢
I love how sometimes the easiest task can be made to look so complicated 😂
Brilliant, minimalist video. Wish all were like this.

Thought it was a Carrick bend there for a sec. Good job 👍
Our Knot is an awesome Knot he reigns from heaven above our Knot is an awesome Knot!
Beautiful knot
thank you! simple, to the point, and actually useful. I couldn't ask for better
Thanks for a great video using 2 colours was very helpful.Great for extending a ridge lie for a tarp.
Tk you a lot😊
I used it to bond together 2 guitar strings of different width. It worked perfectly!
Thanks! Did it first try.
did this with my yoyo worked like a charm
Thank you, legend
Thank you very much
Did this and I'm super happy on my first try! Great video
Nice demonstration Thank-you!

Technically, that is true but to a layperson they are all "knots".

Only applies if you are a knot head.
confusing at first, because my ropes are the same color. hahaha. Got it though, thank you.
Thank you. Nice symmetrical knot. Thanks for the historical explanation.
2nd try :) thx
This video would be useful if I could see through your hands
Love it. Just what I was looking for.
Perfect, fast, easy, effective. Thanks!
Just used this to replace the elastic on my facemask. Good stuff.
Looks like this would work well for tying together multiple extension cords.
If you can't tie a knot, tie alot
Nice knot
Success!
Would have been cool if your hands weren’t in the way
Nice description and video. Nice knot. I'll need to jam test it, but looks interesting. Slipped it makes a fancy looking shoelace that is very secure...
it's a well known totally secure knot
Thank you very much!
Thank you, very simple and to the point.
I still can't get it!

thanks love it...
good knot. thanks
I appreciate it. I broke the rope for the winch, and I don’t want my dad to find out.
Nice!
Exactly what need in this very moment 😸 thanks 👍
Awesome knot. I was gonna use this but still can’t get it. Not with the same color rope anyway.
My dog chewed through their 5m leash as she knows I always buy her - guess I out smarted her this time! Currently losing 3-1 but I can see myself making a comeback!
My dog chews through leashes too. I bought a chain leash off Ebay. It has been going strong for 4 years.
Very nice 🌸
So....what would it be used for? Pros and cons versus other bends?
Read the Description 😉
@@UrbanSkills
😷 ties two ropes together. Hmmm...so does a thief knot. And a shoelace knot. I was hoping for something more.
"How To Tie The Reeverknot" is the title of the video... how could one expect more than being shown how to tie the reeverknot?
@@Abraxxas1127 On that basis I got my money's worth.
I think the comment was asking what would one use this for? Will it hold up the body weight of a human hanging from a hammock in a tree? Or is it good for hauling heavy items?

Thanks. I'm making some cargo nets and I tried using a sheet bend to join lengths, but it felt way too slippery with paracord.
That's better looking for my lanyard on fishing net thanks, the old square knot wasnt right
Holy wow, I did. When and where do I receive my certificate??
Does this have benefits over the double sheet bend ?
Thank you.
This video helped me a lot.
Have a great day! :-)
pulling two ropes against two of course will work, what happens if you pull one against one? does it still hold?
Exactly Jow strong is this knot?
"okay Hooperr, tie me a sheepshank" ... Jaws, 1975
done!
Thank you needed to know this, so I could tie two pieces of string together to sew up my wife's pants
How would the knot get through the fabric?
Excuse me, does anyone know what kind of cord he is using? I would like to get some with a similar weave and diameter.
Thanks... I like this knot.
Can it use for fishing bladers....? Pleasee replay
In fact the original position is the red rope under the green rope
Where did that knot come from? Never seen or heard of it
I read it was a slim bend that would pass thru a reeve, or other tight passage on sailing ships
I can't do it... I always end up with a square knot.
I know this sounds stupid but would this work with strips of bed sheets?
Ya plan on escaping after bed time ?
Does this stay pretty tight?
I am ur 1,000th like lol
Flipping the bend over to see the others side would have been nice.
And are you sure this is a Reever Bend? I've seen other videos that show the bend tied differently... I'm unsure of which is correct....
This looks like what some folks tie as vice versa bend.
Unfortunately I see neither of these in Ashley's Book of Knots (ABoK).
Why don't u pull both ends tightly and show us how well it holds up
You almost lost me there bub with that over under quicksilver loop
I make this knot but in a different way than this I start by the way you tie a sheet bend but instead of just going around the neck I go under first and finish in usually way
Need to take your time and show us how to properly do it so just doing a quick without any explanation
I have to keep letting go of my knot to pause the video I. Order to make the next move. Every time I let go, the knot comes undone. Need to hold still for 10 seconds or so between moves so we can look away, do the move and look up again.
Change the playback speed down to make it easier to follow along
Needs to slow down
I’m watching it at half speed but I still don’t understand
Only took me about 15 attempts....not sure its exactly right, but it seems to be secure enough enough. I
was making a loop to secure a boat key to one of those floats so ya don't lose it overboard.
if it's not _exactly_ right then it's not right at all. WHy did you find it so difficlut? I learnt it from this video in..2 minutes
If you are making a loop you need a Bowline knot. this one if for connecting two ropes
Too fast
How to make it tighter?
What kind of rope is that?
Is this better than a simple square knot?
It depends on what you want. The Square is easy to remember, easy to inspect for proper tying, and does not jam easily. The Reever is nearly impossible to remember and nearly jammed on me with a moderate load. The Reever is more secure than the Square, and you may want a jamming knot for whatever reason.

Hoe do you untie it? 😭
Edit: figured it out, is pretty easy!

I don’t have the brains to tie this knot I’ve tried lots of times just confuses the shit out of me.

I come back every time.
Worst ever. Became undone immediately
