Marline spike hitch ladder

In this video I demonstrate how to make a simple, temporary ladder using the marline spike hitch.

Love your accent and teaching style. The pacing is perfect for me. ❤️

EXCELLENT.....EXCELLENT....EXCELLENT....I've watched 3 other videos of home-made rope emergency ladders and yours is the ONLY ONE that actually explains and SHOWS CLEARLY what has to be done. No un-necessary talk or elaborate historical explanations....just get on with the job. I'm SO grateful you took the time to do this for us. We own a large 3 story house and this will permit us to not worry about escape if we ever need to....and I truly hope we never need to use it but just having this and practising using it will make our lives so much easier. Cheers from Canada North

Thank you Mark for this simple and easy explanation on making a hitch ladder for out in the forest where it might be useful. Just awesome!

[@sumitkhandelwal100]

These tricks are old,but in the modern world,it has been lost.Nowdays,children r busy in their phones.Atleast I will encourage my children to not only see these tubes more but to practice it too.As by doing so,they will be becoming more creative. Thank you so much.

[@hiltont1232]

Wow, I was looking for a simple way to make a ladder, and I got here I needed a channel, I already got my like and subscription😀

[@Aktenzeichen_007]

Vielen Dank für das Video. Es ist eine sehr einfache und gute Anleitung. Wer mehr Sicherheit möchte, kann die Knoten mit einer Polyester Schnur ( 1 mm ) sichern, dann kann auch das Holz nicht raus fallen beim aufrollen der Leiter.

[@sentinela8775]

Thank you so much. I keep learning new things everyday. I'm my kids heroe because of guys like you, sometimes.

[@shuitong8187]

you got a pretty end knot !

[@lorus511]

What I also found was when you slip the loop over the end of the rod if you put a twist in it (as I accidentally did) before you slide it over, you end up with a constrictor knot. This works quite well because when you pull the rope ladder up and there is no tension on the hitches the rods are less likely to fall out as the constrictor knot holds them firmly in place. Also they are easy to undo when you pull the rods out.

[@markthebraider6720]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Mark

[@nitinb9202]

Fantastic add on.

[@ciberkot1]

Saw the video just now, but had exactly the same idea! Adding a twist to the loop, makes the construction much more stabile

[@TheHuntForSupper]

Sir...you need to run for President.

[@toomuch9762]

I done the same thing by accident😂😂 I bet a lot of these knots we have today were discovered by accident

[@D9everything]

Notches in the sticks, where the knots tighten, can aid in keeping the ropes from sliding on the sticks. Can definitely help with safety and convenience (as long as you don't notch them _too_ much)

[@luistrevino3505]

Good idea! Cutting out "notches", where the rope can rest, as for the finish end? I'd end it the same way, as in the video with a "diamond knot!"

If I'm ever shipwrecked on a deserted island, I now know how to make a rope ladder for my tree house! :)

[@snort455]

I need this ladder to climb down into a steep ravine. Also working on a steep bank. Thank you.

[@BUSTtheTIVO]

You don't need to pass the whole long rope through the ring to attach both. Fold the rope in half, feed it though the ring, bend the rope over the superior part of the ring and pull upside the superior part of the ring. Both will attach. Or in other words; fold the rope in half, feed it though the ring, and pass the ring through the loop.

[@tritun5154]

Diamond knot?

[@johnlamb95]

Watching you tie those knots the rope ladder is so satisfying!

[@alyssagunnink467]

The initial larks head could be made much more simply: once the bight has been threaded through the ring, open it and flip it over the ring. No lengthy feeding through needed.

[@larrywilson1783]

How well would this work with nylon or polyester rope and square aluminum tubing? It looks like a very easy and practical ladder. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@vladtorkir]

Хорошая идея. Думаю - как зафиксировать узлы на перекладинах. Может быть тонкой капроновой веревкой , узлом констриктор. Не совсем понятно, для чего продлевать ходовые концы в металлическое кольцо, если можно просто перекинуть через него веревочную петлю. Получится тот же коровий узел. В общем, лестница для засидки есть. Второй вопрос - как связать помост между двумя деревьями. Без гвоздей и проволочных хомутов, веревкой?

[@khalidrahiman]

To be frank, attaching the wooden piece to rope was wonderful idea, thanks.

[@xslpful]

👍👍👍 Suggest to use prusik on the two green strings.

[@tab10advan18]

Thanks. Simple and quick

[@ВикторЛуговской-о2з]

[@andreperait]

Thanks a lot Mark. I finally managed to make my own monkey ladder. It would be great for climbing a low branch of a tree during hunting. I think, if I may suggest, the most suitable rope size is not less than 12mm and made of sisal.. Happy climbing guys.

[@dragoscoco2173]

For reasons unbeknownst to me I find that 6mm accessory climbing rope is by far cheaper than any natural material of similar strength. And of course it is more abrasive, water, sun etc resistant. It is just uglier in general.

[@Neogarcilaso]

It would be cute (at least it is desirable for me) you to be the hunted animal... And.., why not..??

[@MaxPivovarov]

2:00 it’s much easier to circle the loop around the ring than to stretch the entire rope through the loop))))

[@skydiverclassc2031]

A nice simple knot with a good use. I might add that the wood needs to be inspected each time along with the rope. It won't do to break your step in two.

[@markthebraider6720]

Indeed, an important step! Mark

[@bennoah9780]

I find that if you make a twist in the loop before it is placed over the end of the stick it makes a much better lock that does not loosen up if pulled in either direction.

Tried doing it with some paracord and some dowels that were laying around. Hitches came loose very easily under strain. I'm guessing it's probably way more secure with the kind of rope he's using.

[@JasonLeef33dm3]

Is there a way from keeping the knots from slipping? Once my ladder is not in tension I lose the knots

[@markthebraider6720]

Hey! Two ways of preventing slipping that you can use are: - using notches to keep the hitches in place - drilling holes on the sides of the poles and jamming sticks/dowel rods in place.

[@SuperEohippus]

Thank you very much for the video! It is very clear and useful, but I am having troubles getting the steps straight - one end always tends to be higher than the other. although I am knotting and unknotting many times. Do you have any tips for that?

[@fredninoenjambre3644]

You could use another stick as a measuring stick to measure each gap your stick would need. I hope this helps
