Auto-Release Rigger's Knot

[@Codeeez]

I was a rigger for tower cranes, arborist, and worked on fishing boats. I haven't seen alot of this stuff. Really cool channel man. Subscribed.

[@First_Class_Amateur]

Thanks brother!

[@jordanwalker9309]

So what knots did u use

[@Codeeez]

@@jordanwalker9309 hitches and bowlines mostly

[@dragan3290]

I have used various knots but I like this especially lowering items over my balcony!

[@KISSMYACE3203]

What do they use for a guide line where say, a tower/tank, when set, the mounting location is way up in the air? There will also likely be slack in it, so I'd imagine the self release knots wouldn't work. My coworker said they'd use hitches and just whip the rope around until they came loose, which works, but thought there might be better ways.

[@lastchance8142]

Blows my mind that somebody, somewhere actually thought of this complicated knot!

[@Bepis13]

[@IACUnited13]

Worst, neither knot is overly complex.

[@jack002tuber]

Its a simple knot and does valuable work

[@couturejc3991]

Amazing! This knot appeals to me on so many levels. I've just spent a blissful half hour in my basement lifting and lowering various items. Just subscribed. Thanks

[@First_Class_Amateur]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for your support.

[@awesomecronk7183]

Aside from the shepherd's sling and trucker's hitch, I think this is probably the coolest knot I've ever seen!

Im removing muck off of a warehouse roof today by myself in garbage bags. So im on the roof googling 'self release knots'. This video came up and saved me a lot of ladder climbing. lol

[@shultz550]

I cant wait to use this at work and blow some minds.. normally a man has to climb down the ladder to untie our tool bags or whatever this will make it so simple.. thanks man

Best way to tie an anglers loop...cool

[@FidoHouse]

Magic! Very cool. Thank you for showing, and so clearly.

[@craigmcqueen7992]

0:20 I don't think that's a perfection loop. I've seen it referred to as a "Tugboat A" loop. Is there any reason to choose the perfection loop in preference to a standard bowline, or some other bowline variant such as cowboy bowline?

"Now if everything goes according to plan, [...] causing you to subscribe." He got me fair and square. I was following along and it worked.

[@boundless8288]

This not is only for open areas that has no chance of contact with other structures even with a tag line (certified rigger) losing even a light load such as small tool box can kill someone . Other than not pointing that danger out , video well done

[@xtheunknown9351]

My exact thoughts..(Head Rigger ,Head Steel Rigger ,Rigger , High Steel Climber & Roadie 4 ever)

[@carlantaya175]

You should never walk under a suspended load regardless of the type of knot used.

[@somebody7844]

@@carlantaya175 That's under perfect conditions. You already know working on a deck, lots of overhead rigging from steel erectors or concrete carpenters

[@leehaelters6182]

Perfect for a guy working alone, who needs to lower a passel of stuff to the ground without carrying it several trips on the ladder.

[@constantindutu2790]

Cool, mate! Jolly good show! Stimulates the brain, this thing you do, it does. Love it. Keep up

[@warpath1911]

I found that if you pass the end with the loop under the handle, put a bight on the heaving end through that loop, cinch it down tight around the handle. Then put that bight around the knot on the heaving line. It gives you a large loop which allows it to release a lot easier. Though of course it's not as secure.

Thats different then how I was taught to tie perfection loops and lays a bit different, is it some sort of variation?

[@prestonnewton9025]

i've started using the double dragon, it's easier to untie even after being loaded. lies about the same and is easy to check.

Can you use any loop in the end or does it have to be an englishman / perfectionist.

[@First_Class_Amateur]

Any loop will work

[@vlad3k]

Such smooth subscribe suggestion, i just had to !

[@duytdl]

Hmm. I wonder if there's something similar to transport stuff UP. Like I like to put stuff up on the roof from the ground with the help of a pulley sometimes... would be nice if I could get the rope back somehow to put more stuff.

[@First_Class_Amateur]

The thought never occurred to me. I’ll have to check it out.

[@Must_not_say_that]

@ duy - Yes, use a running bowline or other secure loop and attach a line to the loop (or thread the bight of your line through the loop) so that it can be pulled free. Safe and much simpler.

[@cra4war]

This is so cool!!!!

[@tiesthatbind5056]

I was already subscribed before the joke but that would've done it for me if not. These knots you show us are nothing short of amazing and so so useful. Thanks man🙏🏼

[@michaelcarrigan2513]

Why do use an angler's loop as opposed to a bowline or figure-8 on a bight?

[@nhotuoi674]

Awesome knot. Will have to learn this. Thanks.

[@DarrylMiglio]

That is the coolest know ever. Thanks for sharing

[@hanktizzy8819]

Am I seeing things or is the first anglers knot different from your other videos? The the big loop should be split by the standing end right? I see you pull them through both on one side of the standing end. If you see this please explain why it is either right or wrong

[@themvpdev]

Do you have an auto release knot for pulling one of my kids on a sled? To give them a boost before they go down the hill?

[@mq8294]

Is there a reason why a bowline is not used in lieu of the angler?

[@ryanbeard1119]

Hey, i think that english loop you started with is cool, but cannot this be done with a simple bowline, or an Alaskan bowline since the tail would be out to the sides

G e n i a l ❗

[@ThermaLTake94]

Can i use a bowline instead of perfection loop? what is the difference?

[@mikedebell2242]

This principle of the two side by side lines, coming either from a knot or end of a loop, binding a knot in between under tension to be a simple but effective means of binding. I first saw this in how the jungle knot is connected. But tension must be maintained for it to hold. Now that I think about it, I did use this principle to hold a door open by simply making a loop and securing the knot in it around a handle. Just never thought about the principle until the jungle knot and now here.

[@patrickvidanes3068]

Can i use it to heavy load?

[@ronfox5519]

I remember (oodels of years ago) my dad acomplishing the same thing in a different way. I think he had both ends of the rope up with him. Then used the middle of the rope to tie to the load. One of the lengths he had up with him lowered the load. Once it got to the ground, he pulled on the other one to untie. Or maybe he had the center & put the ends on the load. Not sure. But it was cool either way.

[@deltamcrans]

Make a loop on the center of the rope.Pull one end of the rope around the object and through the loop(like a slip knot) to be lifted or lowered. You have both end of the rope one is tensioned or doing the lifting/ lowering action. Once the object is on the ground pull on the other end of the rope the other end of the rope will slip through the loop. (Use the butterfly loop).

[@ROBBANKS666666]

I wish I had cool friends that new this as a kid

[@geophphd5594]

When rigging tree limbs, Could you shock load it? Or would it pull through?

[@bokkenka]

Could bounce out or slip off. There is nothing actually tied on this... It's basically just looped over the last knot. I doubt it could take much weight.

How much weight can it handle with out slipping

[@jimmycampos]

How secure do you think this would be if hoisting up a heavy object of about 100-200 lbs? For example something in the shape of a trash can. Would a barrel hitch be more appropriate?

[@RJ-rs6rf]
