You can add caribiners to reduce friction and also a prusic connected to something on the pulling string as a safety. That way if you're lowering something imporant, it can't smash to the floor if the rope slips.
Apart from the a well-explained description what makes this video superb are the practical usages so that you can see where you would use this special knot. Always wondered why this knot isn't featured more often.
This is cool as hell. I work in a shipyard so we use chainfalls and comealongs all the time but there are rare occasions where we need one but none are available. Obviously this can't take alot of weight but there are alot of situations where we need a good strong tug on something to get it unbound
I just found your channel. It's a shame it hasn't been updated in a year. Hopefully your lack of uploading isn't because you ended up stabbing yourself with a Marlin spike. I cringed every time you pulled the Marlin spike with the point on the thumb side of your hand. 😮 Good information and you have a good speaking voice. It's a shame you don't have more videos.
I’m looking at your tackle arrangement at about 2:00 . You do have a 4:1, however, it’s pulling on the 2:1 on the right. Would that not make it a total of 8:1 ??
That would be the case in a complex mechanical system, but this is just a simple (ie block and tackle) mechanical system. Therefore, you simply add all the strands that are shortening including the free end that is being pulled on. That makes this a 5:1 mechanical advantage.

This video needs more views
I am packing my boat. There’s a lot of things to leave behind, but that book is not one of them.
Wonderful

thanks.. good stuff 👍
It's remarkable that it self locks. Aside from feeding the loops in the same direction, did you have to do anything to ensure it locks??
Like a simple trucker's hitch, with self locking loop
You don't have to do anything special. When you pull on the working end, the second turn will naturally slip under the first turn and it will lock.
@@canyouknot thanks!

I movimenti delle mani non sono chiari e non si capisce come realizzare il nodo
