When you went into the efficiency of the knot and what the efficiency meant it just blew my mind. That is a whole lot of great info. What I would call really useful info. I just had no idea it was so involved. Now I know what knot efficiency is. Thanks SnoMan!

knots are important. I'm always amazed how people can't tie anything in their trunk when they move big stuff etc... The bowline is the one I use the most :) thanks for the video, now I need to learn some new one!

Very nice. Alaska commercial fisherman here, and I've been trying for years to preach beckets and slipped sheet bends...

I need to do a vid showing these knots in action, including the slipped knots.

@MustBe21orUp As the bowline proves (go to 5:50), the loop doesn't have to "close." It can be an open loop, also known as a "bight." Make a U at the end of one rope, and bend the other rope into a Double Becket around it. Incidentally, when you do it this way, the knot will be more secure if both tails come out on the same side.

A sheet bend can be either left or right handed, depending on how it's tied. A becket hitch attaching a line to a spliced loop is neither left or right handed. That's the difference between the two as far as I'm concerned. Your example with the fixed loops on the tarp applies. Tying into a knotted loop such as a bowline, figure eight or alpine butterfly is a grey zone. It really doesn't matter. Sometimes I like to tie a slippery double sheet bend, it's more secure than a single, but faster to untie than a regular double. Thanks for the video.

I have a question from this video...If I'm to tie this knot, how do I tie the first rope into a loop in order to tie the second rope to it? If I'm out and about and need to utilize this skill set, have 2 separate ropes, I'm assuming a loop is required and I couldn't just tie loose-end 1 of rope 1 into loose-end 1 of rope 2 with no loop...?

@mysss29 The grommet loops are quite secure -- they'll tear out before the stop knots slip through. But if you prefer to tie right to grommet, the anchor bend would make a good alternative. Thanks for watching!

Question. On your tarp, you had a small bit of rope tied with two stop knots on one side which created a loop on the opposite side of the tarp. I've always seen loops ties around the edge -if that makes sense- with just one knot making the loop. I'm curious why you do it this way. Is there a benefit I'm unaware of? Thanks for teaching me the Sheet Bend knot.

@SNOmultimedia That's not what I meant at all. Can't the ropes just fall out THE OTHER WAY? Obviously they can't if they're tied to something already. I mean, clearly it's worked well for you so far, but I just thought I'd point out the possibility. I figure we all want ultimate reliability in our gear.

Layman here. I gave up on this. I just wanted to tie the darn knot, and didn't want to spend 10 minutes for a 2-minute instruction that I couldn't find.

Sailors used to speak of "bending" ropes to objects. They introduced all sorts of idiosyncratic knot terminology. I was surprised you had it called the Beckett hitch/etc. I thought I was going to learn a new knot. Btw, it looks like you could lose your grommet loop things pretty easily. why not tie a loop through the grommets or something?
