It's a figure eight stop knot but with a bight. The working end is passed through as shown and when tightened, the figure eight bites it and is easily released with the bight. Genius at play.
I am glad you said that . I thought I have bucklies of remembering this knot . but now you said that I have a chance to remember how to tie it when i need it
@@BushKayakersCampingAustralia I'm the same, so to eliminate I practice knots while watching YT. Win win. I dislike knots that wind around here and there when a simple bowline or clove hitch does the job, KISS!
@@kevinfoo8031 yes . agreed . this knot is complexed unless one already knows the fig8 . . this is a great knot for the job . other knots for the same job take twice the length of rope . . yes i need to practice this knot so I dont forget it and run out of rope .
I was looking for something to tension while tying down displays for work without an anchor point and this works great. Very useful. You can incorporate a truckers hitch to create a mechanical advantage all the while making the whole system releasable,reusable and auto-locking. Love it!
I don't consider that I can tie a knot unless I can tie it behind my back without looking. This forces one to have a mental picture of the knot and tie process and helps it go into long term memory. The basic boy scout knots are all that are needed for most situations, and adding ones like this and a truckers hitch can get someone a long way in these skills.
As a flat ed truck driver this is going to make my securment tie down a lot eaiser. Ive never been good at knots and need to start learning. thanks for this.
Excellent. Was using the one where you double the cord, put a larks head on the end, and pass each loose end through the larks head on opposite directions. This is much better as you use half the cordage and have a quick release too. Love it.
Thanks so much for sharing this video! I watched your video 7 days ago and I’ve already used this knot 5 times. This is a very cool application of the figure 8 knot.
Is there anything to be said for feeding the working end into the figure of eight in the opposite direction to the one you have shown, that is to say, emerging in the same direction as the bight? I believe I found it to form a slightly tighter bind. Very well made video and the right knot for bed rolls.
A truckers is really for maintaining a taut line. This is for maintaining a tight bind and works best when the line lies against the object being bound.
It's a work of art. An alchemically pleasing presentation of the spiritual and the material coming together, soothing strains of music juxtaposed with an elegantly simple AND easy, nuts and bolts approach to survival and utility. Even your motions were very soothing. Loved it! And Subscribed.
This is an interesting knot, but if you have more time then instead using a loop at end of rope and a taut line hitch end of rope will allow a bit more compression because the knot you use creates extra friction on the rope.
The Canadian jamming knot works better for when you have to keep loosening and tightening the bind without untying. It also won't really bind down as tightly as this one and lacks the one-tug release.
As you have tied it, the act of hauling down to draw tight also acts to drag the release bight free. This would not be so if you had inserted the free end from the other side of the knot, no?
I don't notice that at first, but you are right. I've always found it better to draw the free end through the loop *in the same direction* as the bight, asbit were, and it seems to allow a tighter bind.
The rope was slipping on the Marline Spike because you flipped it in the wrong direction. Twist to form the loop then flip the loop up toward the knot.
I notice the slipping too, thanks for this suggestion. I like this knot because it looks like something one could tie even with gloves on. I couldn’t figure out what you meant though about flipping the loop toward the knot. I tried various ways to do it but they all wound up not “locking”. I have been using the slipped Lapp knot (drawstring) to get a true locking hitch but it seems this would allow me to tie a tighter load.
@@alanh6673 Yeah, maybe a better way to describe it is that you form the loop & then fold it to the line in the opposite direction that you'll be applying tension. Note at the 3:00 mark he twists counter-clockwise to form a loop & then folds the loop downward away from the Bundle Knot he's tightening. He then insert the marline spike & pulls - a bight of the line get pulled thru that spike hitch as he's tightening - that's not a Marline Spike Hitch, it's a slip knot. Instead, if you form the loop by twisting clockwise, then fold the loop to line upward toward the Bundle Knot, then insert the marline spike (or stick), & then pull to tighten the bundle knot ... you'll see two results: 1. the bight of line will not pull thru the tensioning hitch- it just clamps-down on the spike, and 2. when you pull out the spike the hitch just falls apart ... That's a Marline Spike Hitch.
Yes, the marlin spike hitches at 3:00 are formed backwards. It makes me question everything else about the video. Like, is he also tying the main binding knot incorrectly? It looks like perhaps the standing end should be inserted the opposite way at 0:30.
You’re not. It is a slipped Packer’s Knot, ABOK No. 187, only with the standing part pulled though the figure eight in the opposite direction. The original holds better though, as cinching down will tighten the figure eight and not loosen it like here.
Not in my opinion... this knot is ideal only for bundling items tight. I have other truckers hitches on my channel that are extremely good for tying down loads.
I like it, but it does come loose when the line is grabbed. I think that was addressed at the end with the additional hitch. I just wish more attention was paid to that as it was done very quickly and was obscured by the hand.
As you have the knot correct, I must tell you there's a way faster way to tie that single handed. I had to keep up with bundles of 25 ejecting at a rate of about 10000 kicks in a 8 HR shift. Using a ring knife.
So if this knot is tightened dowm and pulled right around the bundle is it just really loosened because i can her it all looking good but all i have to do is pull the bundle apart and the live loosened up easily and the bote is still set. I dint see what sets this knot to hold tight..
@@jeffholderbaum2809 Even twice this knot seems to be equally difficult to tighten and loosen to both directions meaning, the same force you need to tighten it will also open it. So if you tie it around something that can expand (like your hands) you will be easily able to force it open which makes it kind of useless to anything that should be firmly held in place.
@@jeffholderbaum2809 sadly if i use it to wrap around some object really firmly, i am unable to secure it with a knot because i cant get under the rope. Still looking for a good knot for this use. Single cord wrap, easy to tie, quick release, auto locking tightening and secure until needed to be opened. So far a truckers hitch with a loop made of aknot thts easy to untie and doesnt bind under pressure seems to have the least compromises
@@jeffholderbaum2809 Im going to be cutting a lot of overtgrown hedges and need to bundle the piles. Any recommendations for a cinching knot or hitch with a quick release? Want to reuse my paracord.
Two notes: 1. Don't try this with normal rope, it won't hold very well, unlike some other knots. 2. This knot requires more manual dexterity and finesse than your regular knot. It's not a simple knot where you "follow the directions and pull". Note the delicate guiding fingers on the right hand starting at 0:39 and 1:54, putting the knot in the proper place.
A figure 8 knot, with a bight running end.....very clever. I never thought of using a figure like that, Thank You!
Very easy way to learn with your pace and the great placement of the camera. Good Job, thanks!

20 yrs ago, I planned to learn knotting but kept postponing and having retired I’m downloading all Knotting videos hopefully I will begin learning
Might also check out Ashley's Book of Knots for an encyclopedic variety of things to do with string and ropes!
it can be very relaxing. good for dexterity too
I am amazed that if you don’t practice with knots, you forget them.
This is true... gotta practice them.
I noticed that too
What's the name of this bundle knot?

Fantastic! I think I'm going to be able to use this knot for gluing wood instead of buying clamps.
Magic - just the knot I’ve been missing! Great video 👏
Glad it was helpful!
Way better than Jam Knot. Thanks so much!
Very clever. Keep it simple!
Nice video, very well presented and easy to follow. I prefer the "outdoors ziptie" for bindles and sleeping bags
As a guy with a tent and awning shop I am going to the shop and practice this. Thanks for posting
Awesome, now to remember it when I need to
practice.
Just remember slipped Figure 8. The rest should be obvious.

Great knot! It works well with baling twine, which gets a lot of work around here.
Good one, thanks man
I Like The Quick Release Knots.
Looks like a quick-release figure eight knot, running end poked through and held by friction. Looks better than arbor knot imo for bundles
Brilliantly simple thanks
As good as this video demonstration is, I'm knot sure I can do this!
😂
😉
You just have to watch it alot of times like i do i think that's the best
Dude, that's knot funny at all.
@@brucecampbell1743 he'll eventually figure eight out ...
I saved it. I've got a few tarps I'm going to use it on. And practice it. Thx.
Poor Mans Trucker Hitch..awesome
Trucker Hitch is for when you have two anchors to secure your load. This is a binder for a bundle.
A truckers is really for maintaining a taut line. This is for maintaining a tight bind and works best when the line lies against the object being bound.
The Larks Head locking bundle wrap is good too, you twice the length rope.
I'll definitely try this one

excellent simple qr jam knot
Thank you for your video
you made a cut in the end of the video, right where i wanted to know what to do with the loose end
It's just a simple half hitch to tuck away the excess length.
Well done - this may actually be useful.
This looks like an Evenk hitch? Pretty cool way to use it.
Muy interesante gracias por compartir saludos
Very nice!, thanks for the video.
Love it god bless
3:00 You are forming those marlin spike hitches backwards.
😂😂😂 Yes he is!
Very nice.
Is this a “slipped “ figure 8 knot ?
Yea. It looks like it and good it's slipped because the figure eight likes to jam under a load. I didn't know it could be used like this.
Thank you,,,👍
That’s a good one
Да это же "восьмерка" с "бантиком"! Гениально!
Nicely done god bless
Thanks - much appreciated.
Добрый день. Благодарю вас за интересный узел. Желаю вам крепкого здоровья, удачи и благополучия! 🖐️🖐️🖐️
Love it!
Very cool, just remember to hold the spike away from your Forearm while pulling!
Well done
That last tie though. What was that?
That was just a simple half-hitch to tuck away the excess length.
This is an interesting knot, but if you have more time then instead using a loop at end of rope and a taut line hitch end of rope will allow a bit more compression because the knot you use creates extra friction on the rope.

Nice thanks god bless
figure 8 knot w loop. great
I've always called this the Canadian Jam Knot.
Not the same
The Canadian jamming knot works better for when you have to keep loosening and tightening the bind without untying. It also won't really bind down as tightly as this one and lacks the one-tug release.
I can't remember how to do them to save my life.😳🤔
Justo es el nudo que estaba buscando 👍🏻

The pen acts as a demonstration toggle, yes? Can you tie this knot around trees?
The metal spike is for a marlinspike hitch handle to pull a rope very tight. Yes, you can tie this around anything including trees.
So if this knot is tightened dowm and pulled right around the bundle is it just really loosened because i can her it all looking good but all i have to do is pull the bundle apart and the live loosened up easily and the bote is still set. I dint see what sets this knot to hold tight..
You’re right the knot he showed is not auto locking. To make it auto lock pass it through the loop twice to the right of standing end.

@@magicshon Going through twice creates a black wall hitch and that allows you to lock in your tension, then secure it with a couple half hitches.
