“ MAKE IT SLIPPY!!”.... We are laughing so hard we can’t see!! 🤣😂. Thanks for another great video Brother! This knot will come in handy a LOT! Bear bags, lanterns, etc... ....my wife is STILL laughing. LMAO!

[@TheVerbiousOne]

That's a good one! Thanks

[@chrisdewitt6251]

Awsome vid Dan. Thanx. Just a bonus tip. Tie a piece of bankline or paracord around the quick release loop for easy pull to undo.

[@gagetman69jeffhebert32]

Awesome great knot for the tool box , thx for sharing

[@davidleasure9138]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Keep it slippery.

[@FowlersMakeryandMischief]

thats so usefully I love that thanks for sharing

[@donwilson9939]

Can never learn too many knots. Thank you.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Very cool Dan, perfect for Hobbits who didn't get Elvish rope that unites on command.

[@NS-pf2zc]

Never knew that was a Siberian knot. I learned it to tie horses and other livestock as an "emergency" release in case they were freaking out and about to injure themselves. Just had to yank the end and it untied the freaked out animal. "Make it slippy!!"😂

[@JohnGreen_US]

It's not a Siberian knot. The slippery simple slip knot, which is what Dan tied, is frequently used to secure horses exactly as you describe.

[@deansch6089]

Good knot to use to tie your kayak off while you're on the bank. Just leave a couple feet on the end so you can sit down while tied up, then give it a tug (the rope) and you're back off downstream.

[@swat4hire]

I'm a subscriber and it's been a long time since I've seen a video from you but I don't know why! Thank you for this cool video though! You're not lessons have Motivated me to buy a book on knots and to buy and not kit of course I don't have a family that intrested which makes it very difficult to actually sit down and do it but hopefully I can remember all the knots that he taught and the book so help me of a mountain the middle of nowhere after the SHTF and I'm not losing all my good Rope and para cord! Much love and thank you for your videos

[@adamgable4346]

Great knot for the memory bank!

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

This is the first knot I remember our father teaching us when we were younger was a slipknot. They sure do come in handy! Thanks for the refreasher!

[@markw.3743]

Wow I'm using that for my gambrel this deer season Thanks Brother !!!

[@spider5001]

Awesome! New knot for me. Looks like it would be good for the center tie out of a tarp💪🏻😀👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@troybranaman316]

Always learning from ya . Thanks for posting!!! Take care and stay safe my friend!!!

[@JCook-dx5pf]

Going to have to practice my Siberian hitch now!

[@CeperatedSelf]

Thank you. I Love slip knots. Use em alot but sometimes they aren't appropriate. That's a rare moment but I'll be practicing this one to add to my knowledge base. Thanks much!

[@LGSkywalker82]

Freaking Brilliant Dan. Thanks man

[@johnpistone9395]

Awsome . Damm I love watching your videos

[@keystonearcher]

That is frickin awesome!!!!

[@forestedforestschool]

Good idea about adding the loop. I use the unmodified version as the first knot in a ridge line. I learnt it via Ray Mears he called it an Evenk hitch from the Evenk people of Lapland. It can be tied one handed so you don't need to take both gloves off in winter. Keep up the good work and greetings from across the Pond.

[@Norsology]

Nice hitch. BUT you could show how it is tied without "dropping" the short end. Do as you did, rotate your left hand with the loop under and then over the long end and then pull a bight from the short end through the loop you have around your left hand. Tighten. Then this hitch can be tied without undoing your mittens which is kind of the point with this hitch. Rein herders hitch.

[@sixpointforge5573]

Wow this is weird i was just needing this type of knot the other day when i was hanging my hammock so thank you also thank you, and i have also heard it being called the halter's hitch

[@rosarubea99]

If you know how it's done can you do a video on tying the itchy hippie hitch?

[@FishTheJim]

Is that a normal Bear for Coalcracker country? Thanks for the info.

[@kidbach]

Knot your average tutorial, Prof.

[@yogibru1]

Wow.....I've been doing that for years and didn't realize it had a name!! lol

[@TheOne-ql6cf]

Nice. Thanks.

[@JohnGreen_US]

Dan, That's not a Siberian/Evenk hitch. It's a simple slippery slip knot (In the climbing world it's called a Mule knot). A Siberian hitch is a slippery Fig-8 and is more secure. If you gave the loop you formed a clock-wise 1/2 twist and then feed your bight, that would be a Siberian ... although keeping your fingers in the loop while twisting makes tying ultra-fast.

[@Naturecraft645]

That doesn't look like a mule knot but just another way of tying the siberian hitch

[@mehardin]

I'm not familiar with the mule knot, but I was thinking this was a slipped overhand not instead of a slipped figure of eight which is a Siberian hitch.

[@JohnGreen_US]

@@mehardin That's right. I sometimes call a slip knot formed with an overhand knot a "simple slip knot". Using a bight of the working end to form the knot makes it "slipped" & super easy to untie. The slipped overhand slip knot is called a Mule Knot because that knot is frequently used to tie a mule/horse to a bar/ring & is ready to quickly release in case the animal needs to be set free quickly. The Mule Knot name is used in the rope climbing world. In this video, Dan started out in classic form to tie a Siberian Hitch but removed his fingers too fast before making the extra half twist to form the needed Fig-8.

[@highenergyog]

You are doing what I've always believed not possible, you are teaching me and I am learning about the importance and simplicity of knots . For this I thank you and you have the ability to teach old dogs new tricks , best regards and thanks from Lloyd.

[@volwars]

This. I like

[@dinorancher5560]

Awesome sauce, boss.

[@chrismurnin722]

Im a massive fan of the slippery hitch, thanks now i need to up my game.

[@adamhumphries6918]

Right up to the last 20seconds of this video, I was "where has this knot been my while life?) However! If the knot attracts wildlife like that shown...... I'm not so sure 😂 Fantastic stuff Dan (also great work the "bear" or raccoon or whatever( Sasquatch??) )

[@keithmcewan7799]

Great knot Gonna try it out this weekend with the cub pack:) Thanks Dan

[@stevestory8483]

Great video. I think this is known as an evenk hitch as well

[@iconix21]

nice....!!!!!

[@Stevenchefjones]

This is very similar to what i use for butcher's knots. To truss meat.

[@JohnGreen_US]

The butcher's knot structure is almost the same as the Siberian hitch (not what Dan tied). The difference is when trussing meat you have no reason to make it "slippery" & you'd typically use the cord leading to the spool to add a securing half-hitch before snipping the ends & moving on to the next knot.

[@timduncan9903]

Tremendous video bro

[@stilkterrin]

Nice video. :)😊

[@lukeg2091]

very cool

[@MiscMitz]

Awesome great knot

[@bigpapaskinner2854]

You kinda looked like you might wanna have slapped slippy the bear. Lol Haha

[@MrGlobalTransport]

First knot I learned from Joel Graves at American Survival Co and I’ve used it for damn near everything (ridge line, tent stakes, tarp tie-outs...and even recently to tie off a stringer of fish trailing behind a kayak!). Quick, easy and if done right, strong. Only thing different is I don’t take my hand out of the loop (left hand), just reach over the working line while it’s still looped in the hand and grab the tag end line and form the hitch and pull it all right. Thanks for sharing this though, haven’t really seen anyone else but American Survival teach it.

[@JohnGreen_US]

This is correct. Keeping your fingers in the loop & using them to grab & pull thru the bight creates the Figure-8 structure of the Siberian Hitch ... the knot Dan demonstrated is a simple slippery slip knot ... which is fine for many purposes. It's just not a Siberian Hitch. I like that Dan makes lots of very useful knot vids, including some knots that are not widely shown but deserve to be.

[@ladyofthemasque]

Who was that cheerful fellow in the background?

[@Brettmlyons]

Packing up my pack to go to Alaska and I wanted to tell you thanks for all the amazing information you have taken the time and effort to share with us! It had been a pleasure learning from you!!

[@Muggalomaniac]

Was the "make it slippy" bit planned or not? He actually looks annoyed at the intrusion lol!

[@paulwhite1114]

Adding the bowline adds a little weight for throwing.

[@MillimeterMech]

I enjoy your videos Dan,thanks! short and to the point. How about an alpine butterfly with standing end thru it? Then you don’t run the risk of the knot coming undone?

[@salabawak]

Nice.. The more you know, the less you bring

[@tinamathews3379]

Watching bushcraft videos has expanded my world a bit. Thank you, and all the other bushcraft video makers for that. :) This morning, I killed a snake, that was in my yard. There's not much meat on a snake, so I chose not to get the meat from it. However, thanks to y'all, I thought about skinning it out, just for the skin. I decided not to, as the skin was too cut up to be usable, and it was a relatively small snake, anyway (a coral snake). Note: I had used a swordcane and a double bit axe to kill it. That was what I had handy.

[@somedude1771]

Why are you likes and dislikes hidden O_o Either way, I liked it. Lol. New viewer, really, really enjoying the content.

[@kevinwiens4804]

Love the "Slippy Siberian" I have always hated the BOWLINE..I don't know why I just never have liked the bowline.. it's probably that stupid "rabbit story"...

[@membela2407]

[@jeffwright4410]

so would the getaway hitch

[@Kankudai]

You need to practice your Siberian hitch,

[@senorangry9509]

Dan, not to sound stupid but, Isn't that almost the same as the Evenk Hitch? I like the 'Slippery' moniker better anyway. Thank!

[@JohnGreen_US]

Evenk Hitch is another name for the Siberian Hitch ... but that's not the knot Dan tied. His simple slippery slip knot works fine for the functionality he demonstrated.

[@JorgePrates]

Shouldn't the siberian end up as a figure of 8 ? It seems like this method does not... I thought one had to make a twist after the loop and then make the shooting loop inside the first. Thanks

[@robthompson1399]

You could do that with a running bowline too right ?!?

[@bluehawke99]

I think the problem with a running bowline would be getting it down again, the bowline would be tight up against the high tree branch and difficult to hook with the pot hanger. I suppose you could try and flick the rope to loosen the noose around the tree branch. But I think the slipped hitch would work better. However I may have misunderstood what you meant.

[@robthompson1399]

@@bluehawke99 I meant that a bowline ( running ) , with a bowline in the tail as per the video. Of course it'd just retrieve the running bowline, where the Siberian actually unties. I'm not hating, just thinking out loud ! I'm certainly not gonna turn down the chance to learn a new knot, I'll be practicing it tomorrow !

[@bluehawke99]

@@robthompson1399 Ahh, I'm with you now, yep that would work too.

[@workingguy6666]

Over-exaggeration gets my upvote.

[@buzz24392]

The knot you tied is most commonly called a halter hitch. It is not a Siberian hitch.

[@alexk1486]

halter hitch can also be tied one-handed (this takes some practice). for a mooring hitch, hold the underhand loop over the standing end and pull a bight under and through the standing end as you would a marlinespike. what i like about these knots/hitches is that they can be tied very quickly and with gloves on

[@joeyjones9041]

Could that be used for repelling?

[@bluehawke99]

Risky, if you pull the wrong rope, you are falling.
