The very best way is to knot is a double square knot and make it permanent. When you don't need it anymore you hack it off, throw the scrap rope on the ground. If you need it again, you double square knot it again. Works for all knots without fail. In 70 years I have never had a double square knot fail.

It's a good demo on how to tie it. It would be nice to learn where this knot performs better than other adjustable loop knots.

Am I viewing this incorrectly, or does it appear to be that one ties a clove hitch onto the standing end of the rope after looping it around the anchor point?

What you have tied is a crown knot which is made with two anticlockwise half hitches you can also make another overhand knot using two clockwise half hitches which is called a wall knot .Ashley did not fully understand this fact as one can see by looking at his book.

@mydoggylivesАй бұрын
Just a heads up... the knot you tied for #3 wasn't the Clove Hitch.... that was the Constrictor Knot. It holds very tightly and, depending on how much force is applied, usually has to be cut off because it cannot be untied. The Clove Hitch does not go "over the main line and underneath the X". To finish off the Clove Hitch you would just take your working end of the rope back over the pole and underneath the top line of the X (but parallel to the bottom of the X). Both ends (working end and standing end) should come out from the center of the X on opposite sides when complete. The Clove Hitch will hold under tension yet is easy to untie when slack is introduced. Other than that, great job! 👍👍

how tough is it to untie after it's been loaded? I assume it's hard, but not as bad as slip knots and some hitches/constrictors. I don't have my practice rope w/me to try it myself
@kernelsmithАй бұрын
I guess you could probably do a quick release by passing a bight vs the entire tag end, but I worry it might compromise this knot a lil?
@How2KnotsАй бұрын
Your comment got me thinking and so I tested the knot around an anchor point with everything I had in my body pulling, and even at my full force the knot was easily adjustable under tension, and it unties alright. like you mentioned it's somewhat difficult to untie but not impossible. The stronger you tighten the initial knot before tension the harder it is to untie, but you don't want to tie it to loose and compromise the knot. A sort of middle ground you have to experiment to find. I found that a bight actually made the knot harder to untie after tension because the end of the bight tends to get stuck under the loops where as a single strand can slip through easier.

How does this compare to an Alpine Butterfly?
@kkutube1972Ай бұрын
I see it as the same thing just climbing vs fish but just sound complicated.
@How2KnotsАй бұрын
They both serve the same function, and my opinion is that it just comes down to preference. But I have tested and pulled tension from all directions and there is no sign of anything wrong. The Alpine Butterfly may have a slight advantage of not tightening as much when tension is put on the loop, or an easier untie you could call it. I may create a video comparing the two knots under tension to examine the differences!
@kernelsmithАй бұрын
I was going to ask the same question. It also reminds me of the Prusik (IIRC) hitch, except that is a) a hitch and b) a separate piece of line. But remembering that lets me remember this one w/o much effort. I’d be interested to see the results if u did a comparison, cuz the alpine is a PITA to untie after loading. Admittedly, it probably won’t be a popular video with the masses
@Wise_ThatАй бұрын
@@kernelsmith huh, funny you say that cause I love the alpine butterfly because I find it to be far and away the easiest mid-line loop to untie after loading
