I binge-watched all of your knot videos in a short time, and one of the things I picked up from all of that was *this* concept, right here, in this video. Imagine my shock and amazement when I found this video with its overhand/marlin-spike/slip-knot/bowline combo that I had discovered a couple weeks prior all thanks to your content! Knots really are fascinating, and you are the best person to go through that journey with. Please keep it up!
I hang my hammocks with a marlin spike hitch, using oak dowels as the marlin spike, it makes for a really quick set-up and tear-down, without any metal, which cuts down the weight.
I learned the Barrel Sling as a youngster and used it quite successfully in 1981 to sling Duluth Packs up trees away from bears in the BWCA snd Quetico Provincial Park. Thanks for you content! Happy trails and happy” tramelling”!
I, too, love just messing around to find new possibilities. Fun stuff. A while back I created a loop that is completely non-binding - like anti-binding... You take a short bight, make a loop and then twist two half-hitches on to the bight. Dress and pull. The sheepshank-type knot pulls apart with tension (hence the non-binding factor) and is extremely strong. (But the loop must be pulled in only one direction or be free to swivel so both ends of the loop are pulled with the same force.)
Knots rock! They should be taught in schools and not left to the few to learn who join a scouting troop. Knowing knots is far more useful than knowing trig.
Absolutely. I didn’t realize the importance of knots until I was in my 20s and began solo camping frequently. I immediately realized how useful they are, and found learning and remembering them to come very naturally to me. I probably know over 70 now, and I don’t know how I used to get by without such knowledge. I regret not learning sooner. It’s a real shame that such useful life skills, once considered an essential part of every man’s education, are now only taught in scouts or sailing groups. Now a days guys either have to discover and learn on their own initiative, or be fortunate enough to have a family member in the know. I’m starting to teach my young nephews now
Thanks for sharing. Agree with all but the knot @ 4:28 . . Personally, as I'm opposite of your brother-in-law, I do most of my work, or close to it below ground in confined spaces & hanging in a bolsterchair.. If a single tool, say a ratcheting combination wrench, or a tool with a through hole... It is found best to use a locked loop (Bowlin for example) that can be ran through the hole and pull the tool through. It makes it easier to remove to use the anchored end & return (Or just place it in the canvas bucket). I just had to put that out there. Thanks again for sharing.
Watch this vid in lower resolution to see something kinda funny. Around 0:44 to 0:47 you'll notice that after he form the loop, the image in the foreground (as viewed through the loop) gets carried with the loop. Objects barrier compression artifact etc etc
The critical flaw with knot tying is memory. I have no idea how you remember all this. Unless you tie these knots over and over and over again on a continuous basis there's no way the average person is going to retain this in their head.
I'm going to have to watch this again... like twenty-seven hundred times... with cord in hand...
Wow. Seriously, so much information here.

Bowline method @1:23 is gold!
Thank You very much Sir, You're the "knots Merlin Wizard" to me ^_^ Greetings from France !
Thanks for getting right to the videos. You’re just awesome!!
You're a GENIUS!! It's amazing how you see the links between different knots!

Damn, man I want kids from you. Larry.
Thank you for amazing videos!
I love those funky knots at the end. Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know what they're for 😂

Ha, I think you have reinvented the Bellringer's Knot :)
You really are full of possibilities and it's contagious.👍
That overhand knot into the bowline blew my mind.
Except it's not bowline knot. This one lets the loop loose if you try hard
Always worthwhile to see what you'll come up with next. Great channel!
This is just brilliant. Your best one yet . Thank you 😊

Really great content, as usual. I'll be forging a small marlinspike tomorrow.
Nice video!
Thanks for the alternative method to make knots
This is awesome! Very useful info that's easy to understand! Love the channel!
Excellent job teaching how to build up from basic knots.
Knots are elegant .... just like this video
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the ideas as always, time I got some practice I guess.
You are brilliant Sir! Thak you.
This is every guys handbook to knots, which would be cool if u made a book of knots btw!
Excelente trabalho, parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏
Outstanding study. Thank you.
Love this video
Really wish I watched this earlier, I needed the second knot today. I wasted so much rope for a hanging flower pot. ;-;
I've also heard the scaffold knot called a poacher's noose. It can be used for making snares to catch wild animals.
Mind blown…. Thanks
My dad taught me to use that daisy chain on his six-mile-long extension chords
Excellent
Super. How about an easy way for an alpine knot?
💥💥💥WOW KNOTS💥💥💥
Love Your Videos !! What kinds of knots do people use to hitch their horses?
I use the Highwayman's Hitch.. my Dad taught it to me when I was a young boy on the Farm.. I never forgot the Lesson..
@@kevinwiens4804 I don't have horses but I use it on the dog's all the time. It's so satisfying for the quick get away.
@@steelonius Well there you go! Dogs and horses it's a great way to secure an animal that might need a "Quick release"..LOL
@@kevinwiens4804 Thank You !!
Mooring hitch will work too if your a boat guy that likes to ride horses
Is that Paramax cordage you’re using?
Yes, 1/4”
Thanks 🙏🙏
Would you mind making a video on "bedroom knots"?
Asking for a friend 👉👈
That last knot thing you should test it's pulling strength against one single hitch with the same rope.
For the last one: maybe if your "spike" is thin/sharp and you want to distribute the abrasion/shearing stress over more parts of the rope?
Can you do a video on making a loop on tools like impact tools and saw saw
So cool.

Keep in mind. To daisy chain electrical cables is the worst thing you can do to them. Air hose is fine.
"There's only one way to find out!" What is it and why didn't you do it?

Extra video
after seeing his garage... i want to see his house.. probably completely made out of knots.
ohh my brane
Lol I remembered calculus
🇵🇬,.,.
Your method is exceptionally poor rushing through knots without pause helps no one.
