Ashley book of knots #1126 Tag knot, ties a cow hitch on a looped rope. Can't for the life of me figure out the drawn path :) Do you know it?

Verry good tutorial

Very informative

Thank you

Excellent you teach us ❤

Butterfly knot should have 2 loops

You talk Waaay to much

Thank you, great tutorial. A stroke of genius is the stopper knot explanation which actually turns into a Canadian Jam knot and works as a zip tie or tourniquet.

What's that tool in the thumbnail to loosen the knots called?

Great video, easy to follow - thank you. I'd love to get hold of some of that 3 color rope to practice splicing. Where can you get it?

Excellent! I need to make some bait bags for a lobster fisherman. This nails down what I need to tie very clearly. Thanks!

u r a great teacher 👍👍

Very informartive. Could you tell us how to finish the globe knot (hide the rope ends) once you're finished making the knot? I want to put a globe knot on either end of a pole (like you did with the stick with 3 passes), but I'm a complete beginner and don't know how I'd finish the knots once slipped on the end. Thanks!

So it's just a slipknot?

❤love it !! Well done chap!!

Such an amazing video 😍 Thank you so much. I'd like to know, please, if I need to finish the net, I just tie the knot and that's it or is there something special?

seems like it might collapse if slick rope and light or uneven bouncing tension..

A very clear description, thanks so much! Has anyone actually used this on an icicle? I live in Canada, maybe I'll give it a try :)

Excellent and thank you. I was struggling to do this based on drawings in a book - so much better to see it being done. And it worked! Hooray!

How are these tied off at the end or finished to not come undone?

I've been looking for a clear, to the point, very well done video and you have done a tremendous job with this one. 2 Thumbs Up!!!

Well done !! So well demonstrated! Thank you for sharing your gift sir. Dad left me his wooden netting needle and I’ll finally be able to learn netting that he tried to teach us kids 60 years ago!

Thank you! Very useful for making a sling from a cord. For making anchors for abseiling by tying around tree or rock fixed points.

Great videos, very well explained and instructional. Best channel for rope work I’ve found

Awesome thankyou

Here's a crazy idea, only to be used in the most dire of emergencies. The book Practical Knots & Ropework by Percy Blandford has a section on climbing knots. The situation he discusses is that you need to descend a cliff and then recover your rope when you reach the bottom. You need to have something like a tree near the top of the cliff. The best method is to simply pass the rope around the tree and let two equal ends hang down. You use this doubled-up rope to descend and at the bottom you pull on one end to recover the rope. But what if the rope isn't long enough? You need to somehow secure one end of the rope to the tree in such a way that you can still recover it. Here's the crazy idea: You tie an Oysterman's stopper knot and pass it around the tree and under the standing end, with the loop and the knot lying on the ground. That's it! The pressure of the standing end against the face of the stopper knot is supposed to hold the loop in place. You recover the rope at the bottom by giving it a hard shake. The book claims that if you climb carefully, always keeping tension on the rope, you won't fall to your death. Good luck with that!

excellent. easy

winner!

Cute puppy and rabbit

Absolutely do NOT put a slip ending on the gnat hitch. That is because the last nip is NOT where you begin to untie this knot. Experiment with a heavy load by using a slip and no slip, and you'll see what I am saying. Also, the gnat was invented to be a secure hitch that is as small as possible. A slip ending just makes the knot bigger while having no purpose as explained above.

😭💔

Very nice, I would have loved to see the ditty bag handle preparation, but it's alright. All the best!

Brilliant. Dad did all this stuff for ever now Ive got the boat and Im learning and loving it. Thanks.

Thank you very much for your knowledgeable, clear and simple to understand explanations. From your experience, which is the best knot to safely tie a mooring line to a bollard. Please consider that my boat is a 32 ft, 4.5 T sailboat. Thank you

Your terrible at showing this.

When making either a bed or other structure in the woods, would a transom knot suffice versus a square knot?

excellent vid thank you

Kalmyk loop/knot is much better, I think. Because it's slipped variant Kazak/Eskimos loop - one of bowline family.

Thanks Mr. Bong. Always wanted to tie noice taught nots round me sack.

Thank you for showing this

So if you tied my wrists with this, I could get free?, or would you use knots to keep my wrists bound?

When i started out, it was a pain in my ass, and took awhile to get how to do em in my hand. After several yrs, i can do em blindfolded. Now I've seen alotta jigs and mandrels, and these look more of a pain than by hand.

"The mooring hitch can slide along the standing part (A-B); a pull on the other parts (C,D) can lock it into place, forming a fixed loop also known as the Lapp knot. " - Eng wiki Don't mention it!

Short, but sweet n quick to the point. Loved it! TY!!

Nice example, others are confusing! Lol

Success with the first try, thanks!

Fantastic! I remember watching a net maker in St. Augustine, FL about 50 years ago, and there are still local cast net makers in central florida. You explain the knot techniques so very well - thank you!

Simply the best better than all the rest.

Spot on, many thanks

Thanks, I did not know there was a second version!
