5 ESSENTIAL Knots For Bushcraft

[@gwynnjones6900]

Thank for the very informative videos, it'll be a brave man to argue with an expert 😊😊

Thank you for your explanation of the origin of the name of the Siberian hitch. I use that for tarps and hammock as well, but never knew where it came from. 👍

Good stuff, Andrew. I usually go with the Evenk and Truckers as well, though it’s the Aussie instructor’s modification that I use. Sometimes I’ll replace the Evenk with a Bowline, and the Truckers with a Taut Tarp Hitch. Always Prusiks on the ridgeline.

What makes them bushcraft knots as oppsed to other knots?

[@theoutdoortraditionalist]

Not the combo l use but always interested to see alternatives.

I think Andrew is demonstrating 5 common useful knots (Evenk, modified Truckers, Prusik, Bachmann, Farrimond) in frequently used scenarios. But, which combos do you use & why?

I still to this day use the evenk but use the wraparound the tree and over and back on its self to give me the tension I need. This was from Ray Mears and Paul kirtley set up. I find with the truckers hitch that you can put to much strain on your rope and the knot is a small distance away from the tree, so if you haven’t found the ideal trees with a fair distance your tarp may not fit but with the wraparound you can utilise the full distance as both knots are against your tree. The way that the truckers system is being promoted now is not really showing how your ridge line can be ambidextrous as both ends are able to be used the same. DC pushes the bowline, toggle, and truckers method and this is putting too much strain and constant small tight knots on your ridge line setting it up to eventually fail. Happy to discuss this more as arguments do not work.

If you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot! Revamped my system recently kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZK9nmugbsSffdEsi=qzUgWolRLRiYth6B
