Excellent, quick, clear, no drama...Thank you. And you can make this even simpler, instead of feeding the tag end back through the loop, just feed a loop through in the first place and you're done ! One step less !!! It's great.
The CJK has been my favorite knot for lashings, kindling bundles and bedrolls for some time, but have not seen anyone teach on a quick release version. My favorite knot just got better. Appreciatchya sir!
I appreciate the jam knot. I think it's good for bundling things together. I also like the fact that you can loosen the knot as well. I also appreciate the fact of its many uses. Thanks for the great tutorial.
I have known about Jam Knot (I'm Canadian so I shortened it) for a while but I never used it until recently. I was bundling up twigs and small branches for burning. I was really disappointed with its ability to grip firmly. I added a hitch and It solved the slippage problem. The problem was probably due the very light cordage that I was using (It is used for construction layouts). But I remember your post about using the figure eight knot (always liked the figure eight knot) with a quick release. It worked like a cinch (pun intended). It is now in my bag of tricks. Thank you very much.
Nicely filmed and explained. I really enjoyed your other knot videos, as well! I believe this one is also known as an arbor knot - but your figure-eight modification is super useful!
This is great...I'm definitely going to use this knot. Saving video. Your videos are really clear and easy to follow & you're a great presenter. ..thank you so much I'm been using your rolling hitch knot for the drawstring of my tracksuit pants...very useful tension knot...thank you for that one 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks! I used this to cinch up some tarps for an upcoming camping trip. I used a spare bit of baling twine, and it's holding well enough for what I need.
Thanks for watching! If you'd like to support the Channel, I made a Knot Tying Reference Card + Practice Ropes to follow along with the videos! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV4K2LSX?maas=maas_adg_F7AE5C95AE226DF61DB510B64731B6A7_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas&th=1 If you liked this one, and haven't seen it yet - I have an IN DEPTH tutorial of my 10 fav knots here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsTC6aojEgG_k Enjoy!
I originally used a modified pull through and tighten slip knot for my rejigged sports shorts, but this is way more reliable as the nylon rope came off during a wash prior.
Watching this multiple times at 0.5x playback speed and I think I'm getting the hang of it. Thanks so much! I'm ashamed to be nearly 30 and still not know how to tie a proper knot but better late than never, I guess! Crazy why they never taught this in school and instead spent years teaching rubbish history of countries I'll never visit!
Tks professional vids! learned the taught line hitch first in the scouts, liked camping setting up tent. Never got that m badge and square knot evaded me since I always tied granny or thief's knot instead??? Loved that canadian jam and quick release but truckers hitch with friction is nice variation. One way figure eight for managing tension, useful. Like a butterfly but is it stronger? Water Doug.
I love the concept here of a quick release jamming knot. Like others, I've found that the knot will loosen when you use a more slippery type of line. My question is, would there be any type of knot with the same qualities as that shown in the video that won't loosen because of the slippery line.
so having used the Canadian jam knot since I was a kid, I believe that I have discovered an unique new use for this knot...If you have any pair of pants or shorts with a free running draw string, just put them on and tie a jam knot as if your body was the object being tied up. Once you do this not only will you never have to tie a knot in those items again, it will not come loose until you want it to by pulling on drawstring in the opposite direction, of the tightening.. Bonus tip...if the drawstring is sewed in the waistband (usually at the back) you have to locate that spot, open the waist band up a little at that spot and using a stitch ripper free up the drawstring so it glides smoothly...
1st person: i needed a knot that would secure a set of fire log set for return to Amazon. I’m not the best repacker, and the cardboard box bulged a bit at one end. If I could post an image I would do so. The rope was shipped north to Minnesota, so I cinched it as tight as I could, so those Minnesota Yankees would have to use a blow torch or a chainsaw to retrieve that particular defective unit. 10/10 for my purpose.
I've tried all these knots you show and they're great and work just as you show them, but in my experience it's all in the details, you gotta not just tie but also dress and set the knots precisely or they fail.
This is the arbor knot mainly used to attach fishing line to the arbor of the reel. Don't know where Canadian jam knot came from but i do hear them used interchangeable
I think you'll quickly shy away from the first method. he's 100% right, the knot works but jams up BIG TIME. personally I'd just go with the quick release method and save yourself some aggravation.
I do not currently, it sort of treads into survival, which I’m very proficient in however I’m focusing right now more on camping related stuff exclusively. But in short, if you look up an L7 spring snare, using that technique with the Canadian jam knot as the loop, and your fist as a guide for the loop size, then it will be generally a great snare for Hare/rabbit. And a smaller hole for squirrel.
@@TheBearEssentials I understand, no worries.. I'm sure you're proficient in both areas. I do love the quality of your videos and your teaching style. Brief and straight to the point...
I found standard paracord slips with the quick-release version. However, I found that if I modify the standard Jam knot he showed by replacing the end overhand with a slipknot, it has the grip strength of the original with the quick-release feature too.
Love the QR option with the figure 8. What do you think about using that instead of a trucker's hitch to tie down a load, with two separate ropes joined by the jam?
Yep, it took me about 20-30 minutes to get it. Like with any knot I learn, I do it over and over and over until it becomes second nature. No point doing it once and then not being able to do it when you need it.
Very cool, but I am *begging* UA-cam knot video folks to record it from a first-person perspective, not from an observer's perspective. I have to watch the video upside down or imagine everything flipped 180 degrees to get my head around it otherwise.
If you’re watching on a phone then you can turn the phone around 180 degrees (without the screen auto correcting itself) and it will create a mirroring affect similar to a first person view
Neither version of the knot doesn't hold after trying multiple times. Unless someone can tell me what I am missing or doing wrong? It's a good video and I've watched it a dozen times.
is there a knot you can tie....that say you only have one rope in your bag and you need to climb down somewhere so you tie it to a tree and it can take your weight down but then u need to get the rope back?
I wouldn’t be able to advise anyone in this because it’s not in my expertise. I’d recommend speaking with a climber or arborist before attempting anything risky like that But an alpine butterfly as shown in my video here has a use similar to what you’re thinking of - hanging a rope in a tree as an anchor and retrieving it afterward. ua-cam.com/video/5lLPAHK_k6I/v-deo.html
Arborist here. Short answer no. Long answer still no but there are some work arounds. You can make a super long tag line to pull open something like a running bowline or similar (rethreaded figure 8 backed with a stopper knot would probably be safest) if you don't have enough length to double it then you need another rope to tie on as an improvised tag line. For further info you can google retrievable srt srs anchor
Thank you for the video, but I found this knot fails to hold on a larger diameter rope (rope that is about twice as thick). Fortunately, a slipped buntline works better overall as a binder, because it has more strands holding with friction. (Yes, people typically think of the buntline as a hitch, but it works great as a binder.) Plus, with a slipped buntiline, you don't need access to the tip of the standing end. Plus, if you already know the slipped Buntline, there is nothing knew to learn.
I've been looking for this knot for a long time - may I never forget "Canadian Jam Knot"
Excellent, quick, clear, no drama...Thank you. And you can make this even simpler, instead of feeding the tag end back through the loop, just feed a loop through in the first place and you're done ! One step less !!! It's great.
He did it this way in the video to show the Figure 8 clear.
I love the way you demonstrate! So clear and easy to follow.
Thank you so much! I'll keep making more and on various camping related topics :)
Agreed. Most knot guys are overly verbose. Have you seen this guy (www.youtube.com/@KnottingKnots)? Wow.

Good clear tutorial. The jam knot is simple and easy. Why over complicate it, keep it simple.
Thank you. Used this knot today. Very useful.
Thanks bro. Rope access tech here. That ones a new one for me

Do you have a video on the Jam Knot as a snare for game animals?

Exactly what I was looking... Thanks!!!
Works ok if you are using fairly rough textured cordage. Otherwise, it just slips on itself.

Only a Canadian could improve upon the Canadian jam knot. Good job, eh? 🇨🇦
Hahah!! Thank you!
BRILLIANT!
The manly urge to go camping after learning one knot
Love the QR option with the figure 8. What do you think about using that instead of a trucker's hitch to tie down a load, with two separate ropes joined by the jam?
Looks good!
This one looks super easy but it's actually quite tricky to get and remember it
Ya takes a tad bit of practice to get good at it and thread through the correct hole
Yep, it took me about 20-30 minutes to get it. Like with any knot I learn, I do it over and over and over until it becomes second nature. No point doing it once and then not being able to do it when you need it.
Practice makes perfect. 😂 I'm 74 woman and cognitively challenged this is better than word find anyway for keeping the grey matter active.❤
That’s truly an amazing comment. Hands on learning rather than internet browsing. I’m 4 years younger and still learning. You go girl
thank you. brilliant.
Good job
I wish I could save videos and put it in a category on UA-cam....Hint Hint UA-cam!
OH MY GOODNESS There is one hahaha
Simple and effective.
Fantastic!
Amazing... Thanks
Youre very welcome!
Best one tkx a lot
We can use the long small nose plier to untie the Canadian knot Sir.
Nice jacket, who makes that?
Hey! The Jacket is made by Fjallraven, if you want, heres my affiliate link to the jacket on campsaver: bit.ly/421nhX3
When you went to the Figure 8 knot didn't you eliminate the Jam Knot

Can you show how you use this knot to create lashing?
Yes I can do that, thx for the idea.
@@TheBearEssentials can’t wait! Thank you!
I just tie a quick release in the jam knot rather than use the figure eight. It seems to cinch tighter. Am I on the wrong track?
Bravo!
Thank you!
Thanks!
My pleasure!
Awesome 🖖
Change your camera angle to replicate a top down perspective. Your clips remind me of how my mother taught me to tie my shoelaces backward😂.
Neither version of the knot doesn't hold after trying multiple times. Unless someone can tell me what I am missing or doing wrong? It's a good video and I've watched it a dozen times.
What kind of rope are you using? It works well for me in paracord and thicker nylon braid.
Nice !
Much appreciated.
That’s a good one to know
Thx Mike! Super useful
Keep it going
Thanks
Looks like the Miller knot?
Are you able to release tension without unting the knot
Yes, if you can get a good grip on the rope on the other side of the knot.
I'm struggling with how to lace it through the Figure 8.... I think that's the most important part....
