Knots I Use The Most | Part 2

[@coffelta]

I watched part one and two of the series, and it’s kind of reassuring that 60% to 70% of the knots are ones that I use regularly as well. There are a couple that I’m going to add to my arsenal, though. I’m looking forward to more in this series.

Also I've seen the Axle Hitch before, but I never bothered to learn it. I just spent 5 minutes playing with it and I think I understand it now. After hearing you describe its use I think it's a very good knot to know. Thanks again!

There is a really easy way to do the Alpine Butterfly, the three winds over your hand then pull the middle one under, toward your wrist and then hook it on your middle finger straighten your finger and pull it all off your hand and it is done

Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge, and that with wonderful explanation. It is even better that you update and bring the subject up that it does not get lost in the temporal priority of youtube algorithm.

I love this video, thank you. Here's what I caught on to: You know the rope "exits" a bowline in three directions: the tail-side of the loop, the non-tail side of the loop, and the standing end. In this video, you showed "slipped" versions for each of these three ends. The Kalmyk, as a slipped Eskimo, shows a slipped tail of a bowline. The slipped sheetbend shows a slipped non-tail side of the loop, or what would have been a loop if you know I mean. And the arborist bend (is that what you called it?) shows a slipped standing end of the bowline. Mind blown.

The third one I referred to is the "quick hitch" - I had never heard of it

Awesome videos. Thank you for sharing these

Thanks for your teaching 😊😊😊

[@yahiaalanwar243]

thanks for the great video. Actually I am not an English speaker yet I like your tutorial. If don't mind a little advice, it would be a great idea if you add a practical application of the Knot as a quick example just like the one you did in this video it makes new learners understand the usefulness of the knot.. again thank you a ton

[@briangentry3118]

Thanks for another installment. This is a very good series. I find the Kalmyk loop very confusing to tie. I'll go find another resource and try to learn how to tie it. I'm most interested in whether or not this knot capsizes under heavy load. I use a similar knot called the Mooring Hitch frequently. However, in small diameter cord (like paracord) and with the heaviest loads, the slipped part can reverse itself and capsize. The Mooring hitch can be tied SUPER fast. I think if I understood the motions the Kalmyk could be just as fast. I just need to learn and practice some more.

[@briangentry3118]

Hours later... I think I've learned to tie the Kalmyk pretty quickly now. I prefer to run the loop over my hand instead of under. This produces an almost identical knot, but I think it's mirrored. Anyway, it's the same structure. I've also done some testing in regular paracord with a very heavy load. To my great surprise, the Kalmyk seems to be equal to the bowline in terms of resistance to jamming. It's pretty much trivial to untie a Kalmyk, even after the heaviest load. A load that jams many other loops VERY hard. This might be my new favorite knot!

Hi there, I use the slipped buntline hitch quite often. I find it to be a great hitch and was wondering if you could perhaps fiddle with coming up with a quicker and better way to tie it. Thank you, cheers.

Amazing love to watch 👏👏👏👏

[@kevinshaddix6931]

Have you or can you make a video on types and bands of rope for different purposes? Thanks. Love your channel

[@bryanyee7]

At some point, since you are on the knots topic, maybe it might help to do a review of marlin spike tools since those can undo tightened knots easily.

[@CJ_Cornhole]

Just wonted to say thank you very much for all the great content you put out I love every bit of it and watch all your videos... I work for a water dept in TN and carry a leatherman surge everyday...I was wondering if you could do a update on the tirant razor and how it's still holding up they also released the v3...keep up all the amazing work

[@vows2sweden]

the first knot reminds me of the kalmyk knot

[@graemeo3440]

It is.

[@ls2005019227]

Really enjoying this series- Although I'm familiar with most of the knots, you've taught me several new ones. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Subscribed
