As a knot afficionado, I LOVE the alpine butterfly for a ton of applications. I've never seen it tired using the third method before. Thank you, for teaching us this.
Beautiful job showing all three methods. I had the first method down well, I'd seen a variation of the second, but greatly prefer your version (third loop BETWEEN the first two). The third around the rope is just gravy. Thanks very much
Overall good video. It was difficult seeing the last method of tying because the camera was too far away, but I practiced on my rope several times until I figured it out. Thanks for this useful information!
the one use you didn't mention is it's a great multi directional isolation knot. You can be hanging off a line with a butterfly, take a knife and slice right through the loop and you'll still be fine.
Awesome tying around something. The twist I use a lot, the wrap I do a little differently, your way is faster, one less step. I've never seen the third way, and had to keep going back before I finally got it! Thank you for sharing!
#2 is the most commonly seen, but I was hoping you showed #1, which is imho the easiest. #3 looks very useful...I have not seen that demonstrated before. Thx
Here's a question, slightly unrelated; Is there a knot that allows a second rope to be tied to a line that is under tension (let's say climber on a line) without that second line slipping?
Hey man, why not just tie an overhand initially on that third option? Maybe I missed something but seems like a quicker way than fiddling with the slip-knot just to undo it.
What a great guide to the Alpine Butterfly. However for part 3 I could not see the details of what you were doing very well and can't resolve how to tie it.
It would be nice if you got the camera closer for that last scenario. Can't exactly tell where you are going around and through.. but overall great video thank you
Everyone on line who demonstrates the Alpine Butterfly always say it is easy to un-tie. It is NOT EASY. Apparently everyone ties this in their backyard and no one ever really uses it. Use it to tighten a rope bridge over a chasm (Ranger style). Cross over a few dozen Rangers and you will find that the knot (particularly on a nylon climbing rope) is too tight to EVER untie. That is why you place a wood stick, the diameter of your rope, thru the "wings" of the butterfly. after use, remove or if too tight, break the stick and then, and only then will you have enough slack to untie the knot. Many an expensive climbing rope has had to be cut after using this knot improperly. Rangers Lead the Way.
sorry I have to politely disagree. I've hung off butterflies on 35 story buildings with 11 millimeter rope and I'm still able to untie it pretty easily. There is a trick to untying pretty much all clean knots. You just need to know where to "break" it.
The Educated Climber channel has a video on tieing the Alpine Butterfly that also shows how to easily break the knot by applying force on the "ears". ua-cam.com/video/-79XQlQo9AU/v-deo.html

knowing how to tie the Alpine Butterfly that third way means that you are a genius. Thank you, er, I will have to practice that third way many times.
That 3rd way to tie an alpine butterfly is AWESOME 👌
Thank you!

Thank you! #2 is the easiest; #3 looks useful, but I’m going to have to practice a lot!
Glad it was helpful!

Great upload 👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers!

That second method is AMAZING!! Omg. Thank you
Glad you like it!

Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video! I prefer the second method. I learned to do it that way, but differently. Your method is better and easier.
the tutorial at animatedknots felt like it was wrong and when i saw this i got it right away!!
I just started with Bartlett in Georgia. Thanks, these videos are really helpful!
One of my customers on a tree job told me about this knot and showed me how to tie it. It is an extremely handy knot
Best video I have watched tying this knot. The others I have seen were just difficult. your way first time with success. KISS
Best video of all. Quick, simple, and spoken slowly and clearly so I (half deaf) can hear you.
Good job, thanks.
Thank you, expecially for a clear explanation on how to tie it on a palm of own hand!
Sorcery.... pure sorcery. I’ve been wondering how guys do that. Thank you
Very clear tutorial. Thanks man! Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
The third option was well explained and very helpful
Great instruction 👍
Thanks for the video second option helps a lot way faster and easy 👍
Good job man it’s so easy you’re the best 👍
Very well demonstrated. Thanks 🙏
Great video! For the 3rd option - why do you make the slipknot first and not just start with an overhand knot?
Wondering the same thing. infact why not just do the 2nd method and thread the rope through?
@@MOTOMINING haha, I was wondering the same
Look at that! Just look at that! lol. 👍🏻. Keep the clip coming.
0:37 first way (two hands)
1:16 second way (around your hand)
1:54 third way (around an object)
Great very clear
the 3rd method could be used to make a sort of a pulley system to help lift something up
you need turn up your volume on ALL of your great videos.....!!!!!
The second one is brilliant to remember, thanks
Really like that second way
OK, I've watched the third one 4 times... I think I need to watch another 4 times. Mine falls apart.

My dad taught me this knot when we were camping
I try to do it but It is difficult even if it is well explained !

smooth
Austrian conductor English. Lineman's Loop
The 3 rap hand method that you did not do I believe is the easiest.
As a hunter I am transitioning to saddle hunting, any recommended knots to connect to the saddle....like a figure 8 or scaffold?
It would be nice if you got the camera closer for that last scenario. Can't exactly tell where you are going around and through.. but overall great video thank you
0:40
U are very good
01:13
Next time you share can you get a little closer to the camera... Great video
Good video, but whoever edited should not have zoomed out at 1:32.
I really look up to arborists.
Will someone please tell people to not cover the line with their hands

You clearly don’t know the trick to untie it then.
