This is the best training on how to tie this super-useful knot that I have found. Your method is the easiest to follow and the explanation also is clear and easy to follow. A bonus - I love the trick with the stick to make it easy to untie even after the knot has been under a lot of tension. I keep a few of these sticks in my rope bag now. Thank you!
I greatly appreciate your videos, I found myself doing tree work over 2 years ago and your videos have help me to better my skills on the ground, thank you for the ministry.
You can also tie a zeppelin on a bight (by taking two bights from the line and tying a zeppelin bend with them). Also gies you two loops to pull on and is jam proof, no stick needed.
I occasionally get a slipknot when I tie this one, and I still haven't figured out why. I know what *not* to do (avoid pulling on the standing end to tighten), but I'm never confident that I'll be getting a good lock with the collar. Boggles my mind.
Hopefully after 11 months, you've found this out! To accidentally make it into a slipknot, after you have gone through your loop and back round the knot, you pull down on the wrong pair of lines to form the loops. This wrong pair runs directly up to the ends of the rope, which makes the slip. Instead you need to pull down on your bight just before where it's gone through your loop. This will pull the knot tight on itself and form the big loops for attaching things or becoming your leg loops. If you get me! In writing, the stages are: 1) Form bight. 2) Form the loop in the bight 3) Take the bight through the loop 4) Take the bight round the whole knot 5) pull down on the bight just before where it goes through your loop. 6) dress the knot to be equal 7) tighten up
@@chrispainter827 Thanks, I appreciate your detailed response! Yes I figured out how to do it right, but I still wasn't exactly sure what I was doing wrong in the past, and you're 100% right. On another note, I recently discovered that a "rethreaded bowline" is one and the same as the bowline on a bight, and it's commonly used for climbing in Europe instead of the rethreaded figure-8.
Subbed. Have you tried the *French Bowline* for lowering someone to the ground... Love your videos, probably the best on YT...thank you for your time to educate.
Why not just tie it like you normally would but with the bite in the rope still mid line attachable that’s how I do it and never have to us a stick to me that knot looks like a knife knot and I just like to say not putting the knot down or the way you tie it just trying to see if you have a reason why you do it like that and maybe you say why not to tie it my way who knows stay safe
Slow down there high speed. People don’t watch you tube to just watch someone tie knots. They are trying to learn. Step by step process makes things easier

From all that I’ve watched on this subject, you’ve been the best at teaching and presenting. Many thanks.

Cool! You taught me how to tie 2 new knots today!
Now all I have to do is LEARN them so they ALWAYS come out correct.
Thanks Mr. Climber.
thanks ! I used this knot yesterday in the way you said. also used the stick trick to make it super easy to untie
A great end line or mid-line knot and easy to tie, outstanding!
I love the stout stick addition
I wish I had seen this before using an alpine butterfly to do a truck pull. That rope got cut. 😆 Thanks for all the info Patrick.

Can't you also form an Alpine, but use the two inner loops as one when forming?
This one had me cursing ! Thank you for this video !!!
Right on Mason, glad to help!
EducatedClimber.com Me too! Hope to see more !
The best explanation. Thank you so much
Be sure to test it before putting a load on it, it's easy to get a slipknot

Can you use the stick tying a zepplin bend?
I am convinced that you can, although I've never tried it....... - Patrick
