I watch and listen to a lot of knot tying videos and I think yours are the best. I like your relaxed, clear voice for starters. The camera work / lighting highlights everything we need to see without any fancy fluff. Your hand movements are deliberate and in sync with your narration. My last comment is this: (and just as important as the previous ones) ……….you make it feel like I am standing right next to you as you demonstrate how to tie the knot. Great production!

What a wonderful compliment, thank you. Truthfully, my videos are hit or miss so I am happy this was a hit for you! Cheers

I watched your "How to create a set of Fours" and I would like to say that it would be very helpful to have links to BOTH cheaper and expensive versions of the pulleys shown in the video. When I investigate how a cost-no-object product is designed, it is easy to spot the compromises the manufacturer has made to produce the cheaper version. Thanks and keep those videos coming! @@perryfire3006

@@deanjohnson5365 If the pulley or any rope hardware is rated for life safety then it will be expensive. So a rule of thumb is that if you plan on putting real people on your systems then it's going to be high dollar compared to something you may find at a hardware or farm store. As I use my equipment for life safety, everything that you see in the videos is expensive, and the problem with listing sources is that all quality manufacturers are going to be relatively close in price. But I could list quality manufacturers if you would like to compare? Now if you just need this stuff for farm use or what have you, then maybe a place like Tractor Supply could fulfill your needs at a lower price.

Just used the Zeppelin knot to repair a broken portage rope in a fast moving river. Worked great. Thanks.

Very helpful tutorial. Your last "bonus knot" works but arborists prefer the quick hitch for sending a rope up into the tree. Simple to tie and requires one a quick tug with one hand to untie. Much better for the climber.

Do you have a link? I'd like to see that technique. Thanks for commenting. Cheers

I'm not sure if KZbin allows links but here it is. Patrick Masterson, AKA Tree Muggs, is super good at teaching knots and rope craft. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqK9fJ2oir5qqsk

I sent you a link but it seems to have disappeared. Search for "Quick Hitch | Arborist Knots: Climbing, Rigging". The Educated Climber KZbin channel is excellent for learning arborist knots.

Just got back into climbing after a few years off. Playing this on repeat to refresh my brain! Fantastic, thanks

Good, enjoy your reintroduction into the world of heights and rope! Thanks for watching and providing feedback. Cheers

Great content, as always. The only thing I would recommend is a proper whipping on those lines. I know folks like the 'butane backsplice' for how easy it is, but a good whipping binds all the fibers together, making sure they're working as one, and makes the finished rope like good.

@perryfire3006 Жыл бұрын

I tend to not worry about it unless I'm splicing or the rope tends to milk the sheath away from the core. The ropes you see in the video are Tachyon by Teufelberger that I've retired. Love the hand and feel of those ropes.

Ex mountaineer here. I've never seen a 'Zeppelin' bend before. The point you make about untying it after loading is well made as is the ability to inspect it. A figure of eight bend is de riguer in the climbing community but is really difficult to untie- the reason for using it in the first place. I would add that I would put two stoppers onto the 'Zeppelin' before daring to risk life and limb. Well that's my penny's worth.

@perryfire3006 Ай бұрын

The gold standard is the eight in my opinion. Even if you tie it almost right or are sloppy it will still hold. The worst ones to untie are the stopper knots such as the double Fishermans. The Zeppelin is cool if nothing else. Thanks for your thoughts.

@benchapple1583 Ай бұрын

@@perryfire3006 A double fisherman's with a bend in between is not a problem to untie. Your point about untying is very important and never mentioned, well done you. Imagine abseiling (I think that Americans say 'rappelling'?) down a face at night with numb wet hands, the temperature is minus horrible and the wind is howling. You must have bent two ropes and the knot must have been loaded perforce. Now you need to untie the damn thing while shivering on a ledge! Now maybe an eight is not so good. For this reason I defaulted to a bowline and a stopper (half a fisherman's) to tie into my harness and a double sheet bend and two stoppers for bending two ropes. I suspect that your 'Zeppelin' with the added two stoppers is stronger. Having said all of that, novices should use an eight because even if you **** it up, it still works and kernmantle rope is not forgiving. Really clearly presented video with great audio. Thank you.

very nice on sheet bend. I really appreciate your stressing which one goes in the U-shape. This works with same diameter as well. Take a look at the break tests shown in this video. The double-fisherman's surprised me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKLPnImreqighrs It did not break in the knot!
