That's a nice knot! 32 years ago, I got "The Klutz Book of Knots" for Christmas. The book has all the best knots. I've never needed to tie a knot, ever
I knew a guy in high school who's mom would still tie his shoes for him. Tell me this isn't you. P.s. Klutz books were great growing up. I had the one on magic tricks.
@@TheBearEssentials I'm really surprised I've never even heard of this knot, this should be in included in fundamental knots, it is astoundingly useful. The ability to tie it mid-line without the need for a running end really elevates the functionality. It doesn't bind so can be removed easily, cannot come undone, heck, that demo with the frayed end even allows for the option of joining 2 completely separate lines. There are so many application....
@@TheBearEssentials You're welcome. There are too many UA-camrs who just have shorts saying "here's how to tie an ipslnq knot". Then maybe when asked in the comments, they'll say what it's good for.
@@TheBearEssentials • I totally agree with Wood Stream. Not only did you provide very clear instructions on how to tie this knot along with an easy way to remember how to tie it, but you also gave us newbies real world examples of how to use it. Thank you. Good job! 👍
What’s really amazing is how the wires on my earbuds and other devices are able to somehow do this knot and many others all on their own when nobody is watching.
I absolutely love that application of the knot for climbing a tree, as you mention at the end! Such a useful knot! Thanks so much for such a clear and simple way of tying this knot! It was literally EXACTLY what I need for a Paracord bracelet and necklace I wanted to make with the option of adding charms to it as gifts! Thank you! So awesome!
Thanks. Short and precise presentation and no 9 minute intro about the Indonesian kid planting coconut trees so that one day the coconut husk will be spun into a rope
I've used this knot for years. It is one of my favorite knots for mid line attachments. When super loaded, it cannot be broken. I used it on a 4:1 ratio with a 6,000 lb. tractor pulling. Even a strong marlin spike could not break the knot.
This knot is indeed the queen of all knots. So useful! Thanks for sharing! Another good use for it is to create a series of loops in order to secure luggage on a backpack, in a trailer or on a sled. Il allows you to create an actual square mesh (kind of like a net, ##) instead of crossing lines diagonally (XX), which might slip more easily.
@@TheBearEssentials another great video idea is to see which knots people are most interested in and make further explainer videos for every situation where a given knot would come in handy :)
Really, really appreciate that you offer multiple uses. Way too many "experts" don't even explain 1. So after you see their demo of "How", your left asking yourself WHY BOTHER ?
Thank you for this. Great knot. Thank you for the free knowledge and tutorial too. I’ve learned 15 knots well in a month and before that, I only knew the surgeons knot.
i have learned a new knot that i will use for so many things the possibilities of stuff you can make with this knot is insane thanks for teaching my this knot
The tree trick was great, a logical problem I've never solved that simply. I have to say, since learning the alpine butterfly knot it's become one of my most used knots.
Very GOOD. Since my boy scout days in the 60's I've been an avid fan of simple yet effective knots. I'm surprised it's taken this many years for me to see this one. It's definitely going WAY up on my list as an often used knot when I'm out in my back-country mode. Many thanks... you have a great channel sir.
OMG! You just changed my everything. Retrieving from a high branch, I've been asking myself how to achieve that since I was a child. I feel like a total fool. And I'd seen this knot, loved it but didn't learn it. Now I get. Thank you.
You have the gift of teaching. You break it down into small steps, describe what you're about to do and execute it calmly so anyone can follow it. Bravo!

This knot when used for retrieving after throwing it up into a tree branch is a beautiful creation. Whoever designs knots like this is a true artist. To me it’s genius and as pleasing as music.
Radical. This was sublimely beautiful to watch and understand. It's pretty much an esoteric experience. 😂 Hard to describe but I was deeply fascinated by the ultra-genius practicality and usefulness of this knot. It's almost as if this is somehow following some sort of divine geometry. Thank you.
Hey i m new to knots and try to keep it simple so I was wondering why I would use it over an overhand or double figure 8 knot? It creates a loop just the same?!
Man you hit it out of the ball park, again. Been using the ABL forever but didn't think about using it in this fashion - just like the figure 8 jam knot you offer refinement for these knots and the ideas behind them. Every time I learn a new application for an old (or new) knot I'm gaining a new tool. Most people don't realize that instead of going out and buying a gadget, they can add some knowledge and 1)always have that "gadget" whenever they have proper cordage and 2)save money, of course. Really appreciate your content and great cinematography (going 24/48 fps is the way to do it). Why I'm subbed and notified.
Man Thank you so much for this!! Honestly it means the world to help people who are just learning but to help someone with a keen eye for this stuff like yourself - well that's just amazing for me. I couldn't agree more with knowledge. over gadgets too! Thx for all the kind words man! Your friend, DJ
I already learned the Palstek, arguably the King of knots and rope salads. Now you add the Queen to go along with it. And a beauty it is. Thanks a lot! Neat tutorial.
A rope walks into a bar. The bartender says “didn’t you read the sign: we don’t serve ropes!?” So the rope curls up, messes up his hair and says “I’m a frayed not”.
The rope walks out of the bar, disappointed. He curls himself up, messes up his hair and goes back into the bar. Bartender says “Hey aren’t you that rope that was just in here?” “Nope. I’m a frayed knot.” 😊
I used this knot at work today lowering equipment from a rooftop! Super handy to have a secure attachment from one strand, then easily coming loose with the other to pull it back up.
Yes, a great knot for many uses! On outdoor courses, we sometimes used a series of Alpine butterfly knots to construct a rope ladder. However, I hadn't thought of it for securing a loop on a branch - that is clever! Cheers & thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to learn to tie this knot forever, you made it so simple to do. Hoprfully all the scoutmasters out their see this to show their kids, you're a very good teacher!
Thank you so much. We have bird feeders hanging from branches about 20 feet off the ground. We raise and lower daily, and getting "hung up" in the branches is common. This knot will be a life saver. I've liked and subbed.
This really is a great loop knot. I tie it by (a) twisting the bight twice (two half twists, i.e. 360 degrees, so it's sort of like there's an infinity sign next to the rope), (b) pulling the bight around the rope so it's behind the two crossing points, and then (c) reaching through the space between the crossing points and pulling the bight towards me.
RagingGeekazoid The Fastest and Easiest is the Snap Method, and can be done in the dark: Using gloves or handling a vertical line - With the right palm facing upward, bring the working end up forming a bight alongside the standing end. With your left hand (thumb facing down), grab the left side of the bight and flip it to the left forming an "X" while taking the bight with your right hand.
Knots are so cool I live in an urban area far away from the woods and forests, but knots are among to coolest things ive seen So many kinds, so many uses for camping, going outdoots, or in worst case survival
Really great abrasion resistance and though I've never put the Big Game line ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQ4x31pJVpClzhxzNFeILZYTW7Xbs7ZIF (any poundage) through an official test it always seems to break well above rated poundage. This line stretches a very good amount before it breaks and does well in saltwater too. Not the best line for a spinning reel in my opinion, especially if you're planning on using it for lures only due to it having a bit of memory but still a great line whether filling a spool, using as top shot or strictly for leader line. I've bought a bunch of Big game line in the past and plan on continuing to do so in the future.
I have used this knot for years and never thought about it in the last application of retrieving the rope. On top of it, clear instruction, filming, and editing. I'm wondering where you got your ideas of how to create videos for UA-cam. Was it just watching other channels or a Udemy course, etc.? Great job and thank you.
Thx so much. Honestly, I just started in June, bought a camera then, and started making vids. I mainly try to just teach in a visual way and imagine how I personally would like to be taught. I sit down and script the videos to make sure I’m covering and presenting everything in an easy to understand way. Then write down the shots I want to get. And then go film, edit, film more if need be and edit again. It’s a big workflow but Im really wanting to make helpful vids at the end of the day - and the helpful comments are so nice to read!

Nice, thanks, I learned a new way of tying it. I had been following whatever diagram I could google, they didn't show this under-over-under method... This knot is so far indeed the only new knot I've learned in my adult life. Why didn't they teach this in school... It's so versatile, useful for many adult purposes hehe. Like tying up tomato stalks or adjusting hammock chair height while leaving it easy to untie and adjust.
That tree-branch trick reminded me of something from a Stephen King book. In Book 3 of his "Dark Tower" series, King has his hero (Roland) get down from a high place by rope, and when one of the others comments that they can't get the rope back, the super-competent Roland wordlessly tugs on the rope and it drops to the ground. I wondered for days how that could be done! And now two decades later, here's the answer. 👍

I don’t even know how I got here. But I am going to subscribe. This video was pretty useful and well put together.
Oh wow thanks a bunch! Much appreciated :)
That tree-branch trick reminded me of something from a Stephen King book. In Book 3 of his "Dark Tower" series, King has his hero (Roland) get down from a high place by rope, and when one of the others comments that they can't get the rope back, the super-competent Roland wordlessly tugs on the rope and it drops to the ground.
I wondered for days how that could be done! And now two decades later, here's the answer. 👍
