Rope Clinic Part 4

[@leh0rla]

The knot at 11:19 is called a Canadian Eight or Bunny Ears (oreilles de lapins en français). Great videos! My son is learning how to make knots in the boyscouts and I'm showing him your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Merci!

[@TonyTooTuff]

I’ve been sitting in the cold watching this with my rope rewinding and learning.

[@n9oqu]

Thanks dave for all you do. Cordage handleing is my new fidget tool! 73, Bob

[@DavidWilliams-wr4wb]

i’m a retired tree climber and i wish i would have had formal training for just knotting/rigging when i started, this is a great video, i’ve mainly used bowlins ,poachers, hitches mostly for for topping/limbing , when i was learning from my mentor he used the rabbit run to teach me the bowlin , the rabbit runs up the hole around the tree and down the hole 😂 that little running rabbit was the only way i could remember how to tie a bowlin under stress when i was 100 ft up in a rotted or lightening struck tree lol this video is very useful to anyone looking to learn survival and or rigging for work or survival purposes, you are a good teacher, thanks for sharing your skills 🙂

[@topgunm]

Thanks again for your amazing videos. I came here from your epic ridgeline/truckers hitch, and I just wanted to learn more (generally) about knots and found this banger of a series. Not knowing what I was going to learn. Then you explained how the knot wont collapse on itself at 3:00. Just what I wanted to learn (without knowing I wanted to learn). Thanks a lot!

[@jenniferlong9012]

Thank you Dave for all you do, I learn so much from each of your videos. In the last year or so I began to change my outdoor experience from long backpacking trips to short but meaningful outings On one of my longer treks I realized as the miles went by I really knew little about the world around me. I could not identify most trees or plants and relied heavily on my latest and greatest backpacking gear but had forgotten many of the basics. I have since gone back to basics, and have begun to follow a bush crafting approach. I am learning to forage, taking time to learn the trees and plants, and have slowed my time in the forest to not counting miles but experiences and practicing skills. My time in the outdoors is much more fulfilling and enjoyable. From one of your videos, I have learned how to make char cloth and start a fire with flint and steel. I was never so proud of my little accomplishments and that steak cooked on that fire never tasted so good! One of my goals is in this next year is to attend your basic course. Best Wishes, SGM Jennifer Long ( Ret.)

[@douglasvamateurradioandmore]

I started using the truckers hitch and running knot for loads as a landscaper. Now I use knots mostly for amateur radio.

[@coatpocketsurvivalist]

Dave Thanks for posting these - they are super informative & useful. May your journeys be adventures and your havens safe.

[@davidrose83]

Love your work Dave, that last knot.... real nice!!

[@morganw02]

One of my favorite SRO video series so far. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

[@thorvaldtorgrimson5651]

Thank you for this series Dave. Good solid skills builder.

[@steveb2915]

Hello from Australia Dave any chance you could do some video's on archery? It's been a while since you did now video's. Thanks 👍

[@FiveElementsTactical]

🥷🏼🪢YOU SIR, ARE A DAMN KNOT NINJA🪢🥷🏼 Loving this rope clinic. So much great info. Much obliged. Keep them coming. I have some serious homework to do. Thanks again. Be safe. 🙏🏼

[@carypeaden4147]

Great videos. I love the block and tackle up in a tree which I could bring down by pulling on the tail of the rope. There are many great new things you exposed me to in this video rope clinic series.

[@haleywilt7728]

thanks Dave have enjoyed this series, Your last knot looks a lot like a double figure 8 to me, Not how I tie it but I think that is what you have got.

[@freddyvicaire6777]

I really appreciate everything you do dave I'm 35 n new to bush/woodcraft and I appreciate all I have learned from your videos I. From New England and can't wait to get out there this spring n bond with my son! Thanks for all you do!

[@nevertolatetoprepare2802]

Thanks Dave, late find and late subscribed, but very much appreciated.

[@chickenstead6586]

The POV view is very helpful. Thanks

[@raymundomarroquin7105]

Thank you for sharing your skills.

[@ArcherADK]

Dave this series is so helpful to me. Thanks so much for doing this.

[@bigmarkymark9669]

Knots needs to be your next book. Hardest thing next to plants to remember. !!!

[@slickmick-sw4ym]

hi Dave don't worry I tell everybody I meet about your channel mate keep up the great work from mick in the UK

[@markonj1]

Great job, love this clinic.

[@twecharclimber]

This is a great series of videos, my favourite is also the alpine butterfly so versatile, I've used it successfully while climbing/ rappelling to isolate damaged rope. I really appreciate your time and effort in making your videos🙌

[@mab0852]

That last one is like a stand alone Palomar without the hook. The rope retrieval hoist and a toggle are the basis of the PCT bear bag system. I usually do a biner through a marline, but the way you showed is how you do it without the hardware.

[@justjackfromsc]

I really have been enjoying your rope segments. This is great information. Thanks for teaching these skills and the video. God bless.

[@grayfoxoutdooradventures]

I’m really liking this series of videos. Great job as always Dave!

[@craigv6277]

This is a great series Dave. Thanks and keep them coming!

[@josephtrinkle3255]

Hope you keep making videos for a long long time. Your content is so descriptive and detailed, and very entertaining. Thanks 👍

[@DDD-vt9yb]

That last loop you tied is called a Double Figure Eight Loop.

[@foosking]

excellent! thank you. this clinic keeps getting better and better.

[@BruceLee-mo4pn]

Thank You Mr. Canterbury Sir.

[@clayjohnson9498]

Great instructor ! Keep up the awesome work.

[@MACV-Justice]

Excellent! Thank you, Dave.

[@MatCendana]

This series is among the most useful, including for people like me who are mainly of the armchair type. But there are indeed times when knowing a few knots come in really handy. Possible life savers too. -- Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

[@tristanvarsovia]

I've encountered that last knot before with my rope access training, dont know the name, its a simplier variant of the bunny ears.

[@candiced710]

Thank you Dave!

[@lindac7146]

You're the best. So happy to learn this.

[@sandstorm6605]

I’ll be using my 6’ pocket para cord hank to practice all these knots well... a lot.

[@steverose4639]

Hi Dave, Great series so far. That last knot looks very similar to a Palomar used in Fishing?

[@bushcraftspainsl]

Hi Dave! As always, an inspiration to all of us. Saludos desde España!

[@leefra1]

Excellent, clear and understandable. Thanks

[@luanaewerling8883]

Obrigado Dave, aprendi muito.

[@phillipdavis4507]

Good video, and I also noticed that bottle of moonshine too!🥃🥃🥴

[@doubtingthomas1312]

The last knot , I'm gonna call it "the in-line Canterbury".😎

[@refaiabdeen5943]

Cheers Mate!

[@hectic6981]

It's almost like a variant of the Palomar knot (normally a knot for fishing hooks and the hook would be dropped through the loop) Tied like so. 1.Take a bight 2.Pass bight through eye 3 Tie overhand knot (with bight over the working and standing ends) 4.pass hook through loop 5. Sinch down and dress

[@archaicwisdom69]

The last knot is called a DC knot

[@billygarfield5520]

Fantastic video and editing!!! 👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏

[@TonyTooTuff]

I’ve been looking forward to this.

[@RatdogDRB]

I like that means of hanging a tackle up high. Very nice.

[@benthere8051]

I have tied the basic knots so many times they are committed to muscle memory. I don't even have to think about what I'm doing when I'm tying those knots. If I am asked how to tie them, I have to use a piece of rope to show them because it is not a conscious process.

[@martinmadsen4162]

Love these videos learning a lot

[@ElChompero]

That last knot is called a Palomar knot and is used to tie fishing hooks. Best knot for monofilament line.

[@DavidCanterbury]

It isn't a Polymar knot that is based on an overhand not a running knot

[@martinsanchezmiranda935]

Excellent, great information, thanks

[@liveinlove5958]

Thank you so much as always..

[@michaelcariello6233]

Very similar to the double loop figure 8. Otherwise known as “bunny ears”

[@mtsuth6370]

Double Bight Figure 8, aka "Bunny Ears" (ABOK 1085). Great vid series, Dave!

[@DavidCanterbury]

No I looked at this and it is not a figure 8 when complete nor based on an overhand like a Polymere, the search continues-Thanks man

[@ChIGuY-town22_]

Awesome stuff, and well explained.

[@Flashahol]

For some reason, I never could understand the Alpine Butterfly I never could understand from the technique point of view.... I need to see that one illustrated, then I can do it in any other way than the standard technique... All this to say you are doing an amazing job of demonstrating these knots, this is encyclopedic!

[@pjdenzer]

that last one reminds me of the palomar knot for tying tackle to a line.... however that one is as we know based on the overhand knot so...... (but I like it) thanks for this series I'm enjoying it

[@DavidCanterbury]

Polymer is based on a overhand so different, the search continues Thanks man

[@n9oqu]

learning the Bowline on a bight is harder to learn on "flat" paracord. use round cordage to learn this knot.

[@mrhalfstep]

Dave, is there some advantage to the two knots that end up with a double loop, or I guess the correct term would be a double bight (is that the correct spelling, by the way, or is it bite?)? Does the Bowline On A Bight and The Dave Canterbury Special reduce the strength of the rope less than, say, the Alpine Butterfly Loop. I also think that some people may find the Butterfly Loop easier to tie using the figure eight method. I find I can lay the rope on the ground and tie the Butterfly with one hand using that method. This is a great series. I'll be here for Part 5 for sure!

[@williameddy7217]

Thanks Dave

[@robertweldon7909]

Great video Dave. Once again we learn a lot. ;-)

[@KarlRoyale]

Knot #5 looks the same as what my grandfather called a "Shank Knot" he was a commercial fisherman in Gloucester, Mass in the 30's and 40's. I think if I remember right he said it was a good knot for lobster pots but I don't know how he used them. I don't remember more, he died when I was 14, more than 30 years ago.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Its not a Polymer based on an overhand but similar for sure

[@kendicus4518]

Great job tying them left handed, bet that was hard to learn almost every one ties them right handed.

[@kotycassidy6955]

You are the man dave

[@yunggolem4687]

Good skills Dave. If you guys really want to get efficient in using ropes in combination with trees, look up some climbing arborist videos. Those guys really know how to get it done right and do it quick, their lives and jobs depend on it.

[@50StichesSteel]

Knots can take up to 50% of a ropes strength depending on the rope material and knot type...I would love it if I seen the outdoor community start using more webbing and climbing rated ropes..They are so handy for a variety of reasons, anything from modern vehicle and atv towing, to casualty rescue, to cliff climbing and rappeling, all the way down to shelter and tool building..Water knots is one of the best ways to join webbing without sacrificing much rope strength and there's 1/2 inch webbing out there that can hold 8,000 lbs..It's fairly cheap too, some as low as 50 cents a foot

[@DavidCanterbury]

Have you watched the first pats of this series? These subjects are covered to some degree but I have yet to research a simple knot that degrades rope by 50% 35-40 YES

[@50StichesSteel]

@@DavidCanterbury I was trying to find the other parts of this series but KZbin is acting funny at the moment for me. For instance I was watching one of these series the other day and it quit working 5 minutes and said it had been removed. You're right with your percentages, but that number is usually done with a brand new rope in mind. Ropes with age, that have been out in the sun for awhile, that have had alot of force on them before, that are wet, that are dirty or have been around naturally accuring acids and oils can also effect this number. Types of knots are also key to keep this number lower. Any kind of constricting knot where the rope is tightening around itself can drastically reduce the strength. Take 50% as a rule of thumb when placing your life on the line with a knot. Gamble with that number when it's an emergency and it's all you have to use..That's one reason climbing rope safety ratios are at higher margins then needed because of the stated above reasons and to account for knots as well...I'd add a direct link to the information stated above but KZbin automatically removes links in comments now.

[@jameslessick4624]

I love knots !

[@doraneves5610]

Excelente job

[@EMTRailfan]

Your 12:00 knot is very similar to, and tied in the same fasion as a "Double 8" knot. Yours looks like a Double Overhand Knot.

[@VashStarwind]

I assume they call that a truckers hitch because truckers used to use it to tie down loads on their trucks?

[@scooterfpv8864]

👍👍👀🤯 Pretty wild man! Gosh..... you could practically make knot tying a hobby with all the different methods. 😁

[@rikusaalamo6876]

The 5th is like a hybrid between bowlin and palomar🧐 or bouble palomar..

[@jabr991]

Solid videos man 🤙

[@VandrefalkTV]

[@codyvanhorn4243]

Good stuff!!

[@earlelzy7243]

Isn't the fifth knot the same as the bowline on a bite like the fourth knot?

[@DavidCanterbury]

NO They are not the same at all

[@dragonwaterforge]

Awsome stuff

[@hipgroove68]

I would quit my job,and go work for Dave.

[@jaybarry7486]

Hi Dave I’ve never asked you anything but do you ever plan on teaching or opening a pathfinder school I’m Canada maybe? We actually have minimal on the west Coast And I’m very interested in learning how to smooth it in the rainforest I live in on Vancouver island , just wondering bro and ty very much for all I’ve learned thru these vids

[@DavidCanterbury]

We have not thought about it much since right now travel has dampened most of our WW courses

[@jaybarry7486]

@@DavidCanterbury fair enough ,, travel is ridiculous atm I hear that, well ty very much for the reply and when things are back to normal we can come back to this at a later date , lol I’m not gonna stop bugging ya hahah jk , but in reality I’ll probably end up down in Ohio before you get up here ; ) which looks awesome , till then my friend :)

[@davehumpleby3440]

I've just watched this whilst charring punkwood and horseshoe fungus ready for my next fire. This is the life!

[@albertlevy3721]

It resembles #1086 in the Ashley Book of Knots. It does not give a name it just says multiple parallel loops.

[@NoreastWhips]

Double overhand knot.

[@DougieFresh208]

Hey Dave! I am impressed by 1. This series 2. Your probable discovery of a new knot. I'll let you know if I come across this knot in any older literature. Let us all know when you decide what you will call it. Have a good day!

[@kylerooyakkers2587]

Why am I watching this without rope in my hand...

[@ricardobravo1213]

You’re badass Dave, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@forthwithtx5852]

That last knot is called a dog knot.

[@DavidCanterbury]

No knot by that name on the web

[@rogergolden-h7j]

Call it a Canterbury knot

[@joseph401]

Thank you , very informative. That last knot you did that you did not know the name of has already been named. Its called the Canter knot or just the "Cantor" in honor of the inventor...Dave Canterbury. Sorry, it has already been named. :)

[@kendicus4518]

You know its hard to get a knot named

[@JoshArchers]

Are you sure you're actually creating a running knot when you do it with a loop in the bight? Are you not actually create an overhand knot mechanically, because pulling either end of the rope doesn't actually loosen the knot. You said at the start of the video a running knot will undo by pulling the standing end, but it doesn't when you do it with the loop like in your knot. Try it - make the 'running knot' with the doubled up loop and then pull the actual standing end of the rope, it won't undo. It won't undo when you pull either end. Mechanically it's an overhand knot when you pull the actual rope ends, not the loop itself. Because of that I think this might be a variant way to tie the Fusion or Karash double loop.
