A square knot spills into a cow hitch. A cow hitch leads to a bowline. A granny knot spills into a clove hitch. You can use both knots to create a truckers hitch. This video also shows a couple knot books for reference and a section on choosing rope for practice. - Навчання та стиль

It's funny how I know I've done all those by accident trying to tie things together (trial and error) but could never properly reproduce them on purpose. This video really helped!
exactly! tie them by feel, then pull on it to check if its working or not 🤣🤣
Omg i feel u so bad
@@xMoonlove Exactly, and then constantly fear for your life while you lay on your uncertainly safe hammock.
@@namelastname1174 That sounds like me lol
***By accident in the bedroom
FIFY buddy 😏
Beginner's guide to knots? Should be subtitled: "journey into a parallel universe of knots." Absolutely fantastic- thank you so much. From larkshead to bowline: never seen that before, genius. What a lovely start to the new year. Might have to rethink my knot teaching though...
I can’t believe this dude just got me excited about knots, I’m about to order some rope to practice with right now! Lol
My issue with knots has always been how it seems like each knot is it’s own series of magical steps, this tutorial is a great way to build up the ingredients of each knot, well done!
Your tutorials are great - clear, concise and intelligent.
botted comment
As someone with a reasonable experience in beginner knots, I already knew all of these knots. However, still a great video because I've never seen anyone before explain how these knots relate to each other and can be linked together so easily. Very informative and great descriptions of how and when to use each knot.
I was thinking of commenting the same exact thing
I appreciate how you show some practical, real world applications to these different knots that the regular person might need them for, like tying a tarp or securing a load to a pickup. I'm for sure saving this to my "Useful things to know" playlist!
This is absolutely the best way to learn knots. breaking them down into simpler types of knots, understanding how they relate to each other. Bravo!
Oddly enough, this is the first video that really clicked with me to learn a bowline knot! Breaking down the structure of the knot into those simple cow/half-cow hitches is oddly enlightening. Thank you!
I've watched a lot of knotting videos but this one blew my mind. I didn't know all these relations exist and that you can basically transform knots into other knots. Your video is amazing to understand WHY knots are the way they are and not just HOW to knot them
this video is FANTASTIC! The way you walk through the logic of improving a simple knot into a more secure one is so helpful for both remembering how to tie them and understanding how they work
As a boy scout I learned all these knots. Your video brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a kid. Kudos on the rooster!
I don’t know if you’ll see this but once the UA-cam algorithm gets a hold of this video and spreads it around you’re gonna be getting a lot of joke comments about “knots” and “knotting” so be warned, it’s not what you think(pun not intended)
I've been messing around with fun knots and Paracord for about a year now, and this is the first time I've ever seen the connection from the square to the bowline and beyond. Mind blown. Thank you good sir!
I think what makes your videos different, you not only explain the knot thoroughly but you show when and where to apply it in working applications.
This is just fantastic how you move from simple knots to more complex ones by using the same elements. Much easier to remember and a very very good way of teaching. Kudos to you.
Great video Sir! WHen I was a Fire Captain I would stress to my firefighters the importance of practicing their rope skills and knots that are typically used on a fire scene. That way they weren't fumbling and the knots would hold up too!
Which ones did you focus on?
thank you for this, i'll knot my neck because of the help of this video, thank you
I watched this maybe 5 times and used 3 different knots to tie off a tarp! You've successfully taught me these knots better than a whole troop of boyscouts did.
Regular knot master teaching his secrets. Nice.
I’m into sailing and know these knots from very different contexts, but this was fun to watch lol.
I am jealous, you actually own an Ashley book of Knots. Thank you for all your videos.
The Ashley Book of Knots was actually first published in 1944, not 1947. I know because I own an original first edition.
@@American-Plague it is a great book and I feel guilty for owning a digital copy. One day I will own a hard copy.
@@williamharshman9572 It's a VERY informative book. The world's authority on Knots, splices and hitches I'd guess. I cherish mine like it was an original copy of the Bible or something.
@@American-Plague I play with so many different knots one of my nicknames is knotty Bill.
@@williamharshman9572 Hahaha! Cool! I know to most people it sounds insanely boring but I've always been fascinated by knots! Especially before the internet, coming across this book was like finding the Holy Grail! 🏆
I did not search for this. I’m pretty sure I clicked on it by accident. I’m enchanted by their voice.
This guy is king of the knots !!!!
This is probably the best knot video ive seen. I love the way you explain the parts and tie them all together
this is hands down the best knot video ever made. GODSPEED SIR!
I’ve been using that cow hitch for years without ever actually knowing it lol, I’ve allways use that method looping it over your fingers to create the loops and then finishing it of, never knew it was an actual knot just thought was something I’d found that worked by accident and kept using it lol very interesting video
Lol that's awesome
This needs to be a 20 part series, cuz its genius!
this might be my favourite youtube video of all time.
My ghetto knots have worked for decades. They can be a pain in the ass trying to untie them though so I'm ready to learn these.
This video should be mandatory materiel in every Canadian school.
Sure, why knot?
I have never been more interested in a video before
As someone who literally just wants to tie some string for peas to climb, this is easily the best video I've seen
Watched the “panic knots” shorts and it got me so interested 😳😳😳 watched the whole 10mins lol ty for the tutorials
Excellent video tutorial for a beginner novice like myself … thank you 🙏
For me, the important question is always, "What do I need this line to hold, and how heavy is it?" The second most important question is, "How easy will it be to unravel this once I'm done with it." Great demonstration here.
A good teacher can make complicated thing look so easy for us to follow
A great first knots video. I like how you tie (not a pun) the square knot to the larks head to the bowline. You might mention that good knots are ones that are easy to untie as well. All the ones you show are.
great video - I have done these before, but struggle to make them right. I used to work for a farmer who could do these in their sleep and tie down anything with almost any rope - then he acted like I should be able to do it without any training because he "already showed me once" :)
Thank you sir. A well-paced, well-'filmed' instructional video. I like the way you cover the most common knots and don't overwhelm us newbies. The section on rope types was very informative too. I have fallen foul of those cheap nylon ropes before and learned the hard way that better quality lasts longer and is easier to work with.
See you guys in 7 years when youtube recommends this legendary video to all of us!
All videos on UA-cam should be like this one, very good work. I'm subscribing
This is the best explained bowline I've seen, and I've been watching rope videos for weeks now
Great video! So helpful. For the final anchor point on the truck, you could also use an alpine butterfly knot for the mechanical advantage. Much more secure than a girthed bight and easy to tie.
In a job interview I had recently they asked me if I had any weaknesses. I thought about it and said “I can’t tie knots” so here I am, learning knots and enjoying it!
I'm a lazy piece of shit but If I say the truth they'd never hire me 😥
What a terrific intro!
oh my word - I didn't realise you could "derive" knots like that! Thank you - this was the BEST knot explanation I've ever seen.
You sir, you're doing God's work, thank you so much! 🏆
Thanks youtube for recommending me this video but I already know everything i need to know about knots from e621
I decided to spend the morning learning knots. I've watched a number of UA-cam videos, and this is definitely one of the best. Thank you.
THANK YOU UA-cam FOR RECOMMENDING THIS. IVE NEVER SEARCHED FOR KNOTS MAKING WILLINGLY BUT NOW IM VERY HAPPY
This is one of the most important things to learn in the very far future.
This is by far the best knot video I’ve seen. Starting simple and building it up, relating each knot to the next. Bravo!
I literally have no use for learning knots or anything, but since this popped on my recommended and just seemed interesting, I ended watching the whole thing
And now I'm satisfied along with new knowledge of ropes and knots
The way the knots relate to each other was a genius-level addition. Thanks for that. It made my day (so far).
I dont know Why I never found this interesting but it seems like I got something new to try as a Hobby and thank you for it.
Best all around knot video on UA-cam!
Ok, really cool. Saved video to my files
I'll bet you fun at party's 😆
I have a date tomorrow this video showed up on my feed at the perfect time!
This guy's life must be so exciting..
probably knot
This video is incredible! Please continue this valuable content for beginners to advanced knot tying enthusiasts alike!!
You're an awesome teacher, me and my awful memory really appreciate this video!!
Thanks!
Awesome thankyou. Love the intro showcasing the simple knots and how they relate.
Love the details.
i didnt know how i ended up here but i was pleasantly surprised by all these knots
I really liked your last knot, with the clove hitch and the bite, and the last part was especially helpful. Great video, very useful information. Thanks, John
The photography on this video is amazing...
I use white sisal rope on my truck at work. It bites into itself really easily which means any simple knot holds well. It's pretty tough too. The downsides are that you can't get crazy with how you tie stuff and it can jam on you if you aren't careful. The ends fray too but we just tape those to stop that. It works great for what we use it for but there's a lot of applications I wouldn't want to use it for. Great video man
Learned all my knots in the Boy Scouts. Their manual is easy to follow and also covers lashing.
I’m an Eagle Scout and done all of these knots at certain points in my life but this is the first time I understood what I was doing, thanks to this video.
I was taught to use the cow hitch and it's modified version you show for every knot tying situation in which something needs to be very secured.
I actually have that second book you showed! I bought that and a Paracord fusion book on my birthday. I have a piece of cord in my pocket I practice my knots on, and I’ve created a few bracelets and even a double cobra belt. This is a cool hobby if you have hyperactive hands, and can’t sit still while listening to the news. Im actually taking interest in knots that create more complex mechanisms, like pulleys and lockable features. Im not sure of this is even a field, but I’m learning gradually what books to buy.
Thank you, you just introduced me to a new interesting and not so expensive hobby ❤🙏
I love tying knots, I work in the oilfield and when I first started their was no hooks on any of the ropes on the vessels so you would have to hand tie a bag with 50lbs in it up 100 ft and pray your knot held so I learned a lot of ways to tie. I have different size rope all over my house for when im bored and want to practice lol. I dont know even 10% of the knots in the world but I know the ones that I need that wont fail no matter the purpose 🤙
Okay, i subscribed! Great tutorial on how to make rope a bigger part of your life. And you're right, the ABoK is a true gem. I tell everyone they need to have a copy in their personal library, but sadly few actually pull the trigger. Keep up the great work.
This appeared in my recommended and now after watching this I need / needed it
clear and helpful! It is clear your intention to teach, to guide the development of understanding, is well thought through AND unhampered by the thirst for stardom that prevails on so many UA-cams. Refreshing!
Ending 2021 on a knotty note. Happy New Year 🎆
Superb demo. And of course, a couple of half hitches is a clove hitch around the rope too.
I had known about knot roots. i.e. many knots are based on the single hand over knot, the half knot, reef/square knot and the figure of eight. Never noticed the granny knot being at the base of a clove hitch.
Noticeably, many people when tying their shoes, tie the loops as a granny knot variation rather than the more secure square knot.
That was very concise, as those 10 minutes flew by!
Thanks dude! You've save my life!
Dude thank you for your knot videos! You make it so simple yet concise, and explain and demonstrate in such a way that makes me think about these knots completely differently than I ever have. Great presentation and teaching skills. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
This has certainly tied my knowledge, i can knot believe I've lived through so many twist, turns and loops without knowing this stuff.
what a practical yet intuitive lesson. Everything kinda just clicked. Thank you!
Excellent channel, excellent tutorial. You are a great teacher and I appreciate your contributions to humanity. Thank you.
wow this will really help making it easier to tie people up in my basement
Great now the kids in my basement will never be able to escape, thanks! 😊
Thanks a lot! Been following your channel for a while, but never got the basics right and thoroughly explained. Would love to see more of those!
Instructions unclear. He escaped.
Well I never, I've been learning knots this last year and though i have my head around most of the important ones (for me at least), this video has really helped understand them .. Thanks for this, much appreciated
This is really cool, I know most of these knots from Boy Scouts but seeing how they are related is completely new to me. Awesome video!
Best knot tutorial.
Thanks for the quick overview of ropes at the end! Every time I go to the store to buy one I get overwhelmed with all the options and have a hard time telling what the difference is. Your video will definitely help with that
You easily do the best knot tutorials I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Thanks Chris
Anyone else have no prior interest in knots and just watched this out of pure curiosity?
Using the different color ropes really helped show what is going on. Thanks, great tutorial.
algorithm reccomended me here from searching bondage tutorials, it’s really great for beginners like me, thanks!
The knot seen at the 3 minute mark is legitimately what I've been taught by my dad forever ago. He has a yachting hobby and your boat/ship needs to be stable when in the harbour. In current weather as well as in a sudden violent storm.
Excellent pedagogical style, precise and concise. Love your focus on knot identities. Really appreciate the thoughtfulness of this video!
Best video so far. Love your examples of how to use the knots.
I remember the first useful knot I ever learned was the slip knot! I was a crane rigger and found it was the fastest knot to tie and the easiest to undo when we would land our loads! Pull the tail and away she goes, would never come undone when we were casting 🤙
I was used to do it before I forget
