How hard is this to untie?

[@KnottingKnots]

@@honeyislandoutfitters9887 I have only just come across this knot, literature I have found says it is easy by moving the furthers parts of the knot apart. I did swing off it the other day and came undone fine...................... not a true test I know ;-)

Another fantastic video! You are an excellent teacher. Congrats! P.S.: Whenever I hear your voice, I can't avoid thinking that you are Anthony Hopkins narrating your videos. Anyway, it's always a pleasure watching and listening to them.

[@KnottingKnots]

Actually, this is Anthony Hopkins, the acting dried up and I had to revert to these damn videos 😉 😉 😉

[@explosivemallard8038]

Wonderful demonstration as always! Thank you greatly for your knot demonstrations, they are the best and clearest on the entirety of the internet!

[@KnottingKnots]

Glad you like them!

[@bmweyrauch]

So glad to see you back doing more great videos. Like many, I enjoy the background and dialogue you offer with your demonstrations. Your videos and the viewer comments provide a wealth of information. Thanks and all the best.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thank you so much, more in the pipeline to come.

[@heatherking7750]

I watched about 20 videos and looked up on wikihow but yours is the only one that made any sense! Thank you so much ❤

[@KnottingKnots]

Glad it helped! What do you plan on using it for?

[@heatherking7750]

@KnottingKnots My dog chewed through his 8th expensive leash so I bought a horse lead but it needed a handle lol

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@Nihilimus]

So glad to see you back. I've always enjoyed your chats. Thank you.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks JT.

[@rickhaller3328]

Sometimes I wonder why one knot is preferable over another. Then near the end, you compared it to a bowline and how it might be better. Thanks for that! Keep up the good work.

[@KnottingKnots]

You will find that some knots are more suited to you than others. Every now and then I come across a knot that will replace or be added to my collection. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@enrique-y6e]

I love this knot. I used it instead of a bowline to attach sheets to a headsail, was in a bit of trouble after sailing all day because the knot is quite difficult to break once it has been loaded. Still very nice.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!

[@mrbubetube]

HA! you just renewed my faith in this knot. I learned this knot from 2 other videos and when I applied tension, it would collapse in a lopsided fashion. So I told them it's a crap knot and then gave up on it. Then I saw this video by chance so I thought what the heck, I'll try it again. I tied it your way and when I applied tension, it didn't collapse. Turns out the other 2 videos made the same misstep and in the end, they didn't apply tension so no wonder theirs didn't collapse, bastards hahahahahahaha.

I personally would say that I am the best knotting channel on KZbin, but I might be a little biased 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Great little knot , thank you for showing both sides.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, really must get into the habit of doing that. Glad you liked it.

[@ernie548]

Great video on that knot. Better than the few others I have seen. I've started using this knot more for loop ends for its strength and the fact that with real small rope or line, the simpler slip type loop knot can actually sever itself under moderately high tension.

[@robertoneal7508]

Appreciate the video. I didn't know this or had forgotten it before seeing your videos on it. If you take suggestions, I'd love to see something like a compilation of loops, and discussion of merits. Maybe the benifits are too much personal preference idk. I find I rely on the d.dragon, angler, a.butterfly and bowline the most. Have been using span and farmers some to test... A video on fastest alternative tying methods would be nice also. I think I've found 7 general butterfly methods - some much faster, who knows how many bowline methods there are. Angler has a few also...

[@Lou_fromthe_Soo]

A dandy knot, and as always, your explaination is thorough

[@KnottingKnots]

Thank you again for your compliments!!!

[@julialewis8794]

It has a beautiful shape. I love it.

[@KnottingKnots]

You often comment Julia, what are knots to you?

[@julialewis8794]

@@KnottingKnots knots help me manage my anxiety by giving my hands something to do. I frequently carry a length of rope, twine or string with me to use in making knots just for that purpose. It's like the original fidget spinner only more versatile and useful. Also I comment because you say it helps your channel and I like to be helpful, tho frequently I have no idea what to say so I often don't comment. Either way I always appreciate your work and content.

[@KnottingKnots]

@@julialewis8794 Thanks Julia for telling me. My favourite sort of therapy is making a net. Sat in the sun, dog snoring next to me, and then just repeating a process. I often give my work away when finished, that too gives you a good feeling. Keep carrying that bit of string!!

[@bmweyrauch]

@@julialewis8794 This sounds familiar, knots for fun and relaxation. I carry short lengths of cord with me when I travel and practice knots on the plane, in terminals and public transport. It is amazing how often people are interested in what I am doing, a great conversation starter. Sometimes a fellow traveler will show me their favorite knot.

[@finnmacky7106]

It looks secure, adjustable and easy to untie. Only time will tell... ;)

[@KnottingKnots]

I do rather like this one, as you say, time will tell!

[@gregglockhart9551]

Thank you! Is it easy to untie after you’ve loaded it like a bowline is?

[@KnottingKnots]

It is good to hear your opinion on this knot, I too am putting it through it's paces.

[@scottguiler]

Nice, Anglers Loop with a different tie off.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, this can also be slipped. I just like the fact that the working end is tucked away nicely.

[@5orgen51]

Yeah, basically an angler

[@bcnubynby4056]

In my opinion, the Bowline is much quicker to do and somewhat easier to untie. I don't think the Hanson knot will ever take the Bowline's place. Thanks for the video; it was interesting as always.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, I think I may agree with you, but still going to put it through some work.................

[@dm9078]

Nice video! What book would you recommend for researching knots

[@KnottingKnots]

Ashley's Book of Knots is exceptionally good, but not the best if you are just learning. When it comes to practical knots, there are many books, but I find them below par. However, if you can, search for Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute. For decorative knots get Des Pawson's book on Knot Craft and Rope Mats, best book ever for decorative projects.

Дорогой человек. Делал первый раз этот узел, ушло 5 секунд. ЗАЧЕМ 8 МИНУТ ?????

[@hectorlucia8081]

Cómo siempre muy práctico su nudo, acá en el campo seguro que hoy mismo lo voy a usar. Gracias por compartir. Saludos de México.

[@KnottingKnots]

Hello Mexico............... Let me know how it goes, hope this knot is good for you?

[@stevedye3121]

As secure as a bowline, even without the final tuck, but not easy to untie after moderate to heavy loading

[@KnottingKnots]

Good to hear, as I am still messing about with it....................

Nice, but Zeppelin loop is better.

Maybe, but................. would be a rather small channel if we just had the best of favourites. 😉

[@小不點-i6z]

多此一舉

[@KnottingKnots]

你為什麼這麼說？

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

The Hanson Knot or Loop reminds me a little bit of the Scotts Locked Bowline. The Hanson Knot or Loop looks like a very secure knot , is it considered a life critical type of knot like the Scotts Locked Bowline or the Yosemite Bowline ?

[@KnottingKnots]

I have only just come across this one..................... so am just getting used to it and testing it.
