Wow, what a cool, simple knot! I'll be able to remember it too lol since it's basically an alpine loop with a board/stick in the middle and a bowline tying it up :D
+djlolypop Rope is loosing strength on every knot and bend. Under tension jacket will also fray if there is any movement. It can also melt. Sunlight and chemicals will destroy polymer on contact points. So under ideal condition new cord may be 550lbs strong but in real life you need x3 safety factor for it.
Ary Cave oh okay, that's interesting to know. In theory could you use 2 or 3 paracord ropes in the configuration in this video and loop them through the carbiner like he did, and would the 3 ropes have the weight distributed over them to get that safety factor you are talking about? Just in theory since that wouldnt be very practical. Just interested in how it all works, thanks for any information.
+neolithic3 short answer will be yes 3 is better than 1. And yes, it is impractical. There is 6, 7, and 8mm available cord that can be used as single rope. Then there are different types of modern polymer like Dacron and Spectra for example more durable than nylon. Also be aware of what looks like paracord sold in home depot and Walmart sometimes it is nylon jacket stuffed with polypropilene waste instead of twisted strains. That one is about 50-80 lbs under ideal load.
So, pretty much an alpine butterfly around an object ... pretty handy, thanks!
I'm enjoying the Knot of the Week series.

Wow
I'm going to do swings with that
A good knot to know. Thanks for the video. Might I humbly suggest using Yosemite bowlines instead of double fisherman's knots.
I like this knot of the week series, super handy! Thanks
"Do You Even Knot Bro!!" aha nice knot man
First thought when you were climbing into the seat: "Don't die!"
I'm curious: what is the advantage of the scaffold knot, over something like a constrictor or clove hitch routed around the back?
Bagus...dari Indonesia
Nice knot, you're pretty cool for a Navy guy. :)
Ohhhhh I learned !! Thanks hey ..:) have a great day !!
550 Paracord should do just fine
Is that a Twist or an overhand Loop
Stay with one or the other
What kind of rope are u using ? What resistance should i pick to support my weight
Constant Mathieu christ. He explains that during the first minute. Wtf is wrong with you people?
Is it even possible for a bowline to slip or come undone
i'm late to the party, but a self centering bowline is an easier way to finish after the hitch
what was the ladder you used to get in the seat?
Bowl lyn
I was under the impression that 550 paracord could support 550lbs. Wouldn't that be safe to use or am I missing something?
550 mil spec can hold two teenagers from personal experience, maybe one adult? He suggests you not use 550 but it's just for percaution

oh okay, I see. Thanks!

Scroogly moogly shirt
Use Paracord, got it.
please please stop saying "bahw-line". It's "bohw-line". Please please say it this way. Please
+Lorenzo Rendina It's pronounced "bo-lin"
Eric Serednyj or that yes
Make your own video and pronounce it the way you want to.
Lorenzo Rendina that’s how you say it, bow as in the front of a boat not a bow as in what you tie your shoes with
Lorenzo Rendina no no no.
...its Bo lin....
