I got stuck in a water tank yesterday and couldn’t get out. I watched this video whilst inside to make a loop on a rope that was lowered down that ultimately got me down. Thank you!!!
Wonder if it wad a concrete or fibreglass tank . Otherwise surprisingly theres reception through thin gauge metal up to a certain gauge and band r a nge figures too .
Life saving loop! Amazing that in such a dire situation person decided to see a you tube video of knots that ultimately saved his life..... Me practicing this knot until I memorize it. LOL.
I had forgotten all about this knot. Years of navy and having to learn soooo many knots and now just using 3 or 4 a person gets forgetful. Esp in retirement, LOL. Thanks a bunch my friend.
I think you have the best knot videos on UA-cam… I watched the truckers hitch one and always for get that knot for some reason I usually do some butchered version of it
Here is the most visual and viewable Alpine Butterfly Knot, but too complicated for alpine or climbing use. The hand twist method with a short-cut is the fastest and easiest for me to tie while suspended on the rope under all conditions: View from 1:20 ua-cam.com/video/OXbEDmNYAXQ/v-deo.html
@@innerbarkoutdoors Constructive criticism: lose the background noise! The subject & your narration of it is great. The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music ruined the vid for me.
Haha. I teach this knot in my adventure class and the students are always like…..Ms Thompson…this is NOT a butterfly. ;). I like your method. A little easier for them to understand.
Thank you so much for this, I've watched so many videos trying to find a way that I will remember to do this knot and I've finally found it!! Even the wrap around the hand method didn't stick with me which is apparently the easiest way.
I think the easiest and fastest method is the one step like the bowline: Backhand the rope with your left hand (thumb down), and at the same time palm a bight into your left hand (with the right hand). Finally in one motion, twist your left hand (palm facing right) forming the “X” and at the same time putting the bight into the hole.
@@innerbarkoutdoors yes sir, never been in the Navy, don't recall this knot from boy scouts, but this is the knot I've been looking for after many years of fooling with loop knots impossible to untie. Very simple -- will come in very handy next time I need a loop knot, maybe tomorrow. Thanks.

Great for use with pulleys and work with mechanical advantage. Totally looks like a rabbit ear to me. Alpine Butterfly sounds cooler than rabbit ear knot.
“I’m told that it’s got it’s name from a butterfly but...... it think it looks like something else.” I had to look at it again. Now I know what you think it looks like and now both have the same vision. 😂
If I'm rappelling while rock climbing and notice a cut in my rope, I could tie this knot. However, as I lower, wouldn't it just get stuck at the anchor system? Would there be something better to use? New to this.
Not an expert, but if I tied this around a damaged section of rope and had to rappel over it, I could put my weight on a prusik and re-attach my descender below the knot. I’m curious now, I’ll look it up...
Solid knot to shorten modern dog leashes made of climbing rope. Adds an extra handle or loop to tie doggie bags, treat bag, water, etc. Plus taking some length off will help manage strong dogs that generate too much momentum if you give them a full 6ft "head start" on you.
Thank you for the tutorial. I have a question regarding my school work. The question asks which knot is best to tie in the middle of a line: a figure 8 or a running bowline? Any input & education from you would be greatly appreciated!
Im convinced that inspiration for these knots comes from unravelling long garden hoses that have been dragged all over . Some say it's their earbuds but i say it's garden hoses .
I would like to see some alternate ways to tie it, but I appreciate that it was not excessively prescriptive. Understanding a knot involves more descriptive instruction imo because so many are not just limited to one method of tying with only one size of cordage. I use a variety of different sizes but they are rarely the long hefty and very heavy climber type ropes. I am much more of a bushcrafter and backpacker, so versatility and utility are key things I go for.
Is there any knot name which can be used to tie two ropes together to climb and when the climbing is done the knot could be easily untied from the ground?
What is the most secure loop knot you know of when I want to put weight onto both ends instead of just the loop like it was only a rope without any loop attached? Alpine Butterfly Loop vs Dropper Loop? Or something else?
Can’t do it mine dosent turn out I twist twice but that’s as far as it goes can only find one genuine loop that’s on the first bite it’s impossible ok for you pros thou !!!!!😮
The easiest and FASTEST way is: Backhand the rope with your left hand (thumb down), and at the same time palm a bight into your left hand (with the right hand). Finally in one motion, twist your left hand (palm facing right) forming the “X” and at the same time putting the bight into the hole.
That there is a tally whacker. It's not clear to me how this is better than grabbing an amount of folded over line in your hand in the middel of a rope, and tying a two stranded half clove hitch (aka overhand knot). I did a test where I pulled both knots on the bitter ends as hard as I could, and they seem just as reliable, and equally difficult to untie. But the double stranded half clove is dramatically faster to tie.

Tie this knot for a special someone
I,m so glad you saw the butterfly as something else because so did I LOL

🍆 LOL 😆
Funny
Yup. It's either a penis or a tongue, and nobody is going to call this an Alpine Penis-Tongue loop. Butterfly it is.

That's my go to for any loop. I use it camping and securing loads. Won't slip and easy to undo, even in small diameter cord.
It's a great loop! I use it all the time.
Just used this to tie down a chrisrmas tree on my subaru! Thanks mate.

Obviously the one you can remember is ultimately the best. But the advantage of the handwrap comes in tying it with cold fingers or heavy gloves.

Thanks! That's a great idea, I'll keep it in the hopper.
Always like your example and how to do it.
Thank you
This knot is so useful because unlike the bowline you do not need either free end to tie it.

Bowling on a bight
There are 2 different ways to tie the bowline in the bight...
Bowline in a bite is far superior in my opinion
That's a great one to know. Thanks

Good…
Why would you use the alpine butterfly for core shots? It can slip pretty easily right? would you put a carabiner in it?
Would this bare load? Like foothold or handhold?
You're right, it looks like something else

Example: How would you tie something (a link of a chain for example) into the loop?
Is this a dropper loop on fishing line?
Can you tie the double butterfly with this technique?
Is there any knot name which can be used to tie two ropes together to climb and when the climbing is done the knot could be easily untied from the ground?
