How to Tie Basic Arborist Knots - TreeStuff.com

[@DV-nf7cv]

This video is 6 years old. But it's a GREAT PLEASURE to watch and brush up on some knots. Straight forward with out 30 minutes of BS. Thank you.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad you liked it!

[@Akooks]

I seriously just cut down a 80 ft tree just now using your video. It was hanging over a power line and a hunting cabin sitting on a hill, tied a rope to my truck and cut that sucker down. Thanks brother

[@jacobzjm]

you made the best video for aborist sofar i saw.Very glad to see more ones of such basic techniks.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

You rock! Thank you.

[@shnrbtlle18]

This has been a pleasure to listen to, Easy for me to understand the instructions, Direct explanation without a bunch of extra crap that doesn't really matter! Thank you, Nick, you just made my job a whole lot easier and safer. Take care and happy climbing.

[@jimlucas8686]

This helped me a LOT to tie off a tree and made me feel comfortable that the knot wouldn't give out on me! Thank you!

[@ianpatterson6202]

Well done, good view of your arms?

[@prioritytree]

Great video, I understand it, I am an arborist. Beginners will have to get the basics first then look at this a couple of times. I like the explaination of the difference of the marlinspike and the slip knot. I always called them both the slip knot, just orientated in a different direction, one for pulling up, one for pulling down.

[@faresBtoush1990]

When you realize that a slip know is the mother of so many knots. A bowline is a slip knot with the short end passed through the loop. A butterfly is a pulled slip. A fisheman is a doubled slip. and so on. You just have to learn different ways to tie a slip and so many other knots become easier and more understandable when added from a slip knot starting position.

[@bwrightaway2877]

I liked the video and am trying to learn these knots but most of the time i had trouble seeing thru your hands so i couldn't really tell what you were doing.

[@prioritytree]

Great color for the rope. The proper term is 'Turn' nor 'Twist'. Regarding the first part of the Bowline. Turn, Bight, and Twist, they are all different.

[@eltonrogers9598]

Actually the correct term would be a loop. A turn is a loop around an object.

[@tylereddington7588]

prioritytree - rope is cherry bomb from all gear inc

[@jeffreyhamer3107]

Excellant instruction. Thank you for not using that rabbit and hole drivel.

[@NoferTrunions]

Need a midline knot like the butterfly but will untie after extreme loading of the loop.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Try a bowline on a bight!

[@kiddenme1]

You change camera angle in middle of knot,very confusing

[@resilientbeba]

Can a slip knot be used for tieing off a limb ? I've always used the bowline but I have a limb that's way out and I'm going to have to get a loop around it such as the slipknot features to hook it with a pruner and pull it tight. I will have a groundmens keeping constant pressure and holding it tight. Does this matter?

[@Felix5513]

Would you really recommend a bowline for life support? The loop that it makes does not cinch down on the carabiner, therefore making it possible to side load.

[@frankiet7148]

+Stuart French stick w/ a figure 8 or double fisherman

[@Felix5513]

+frank t I am either on a splice, anchor bend, or triple fishermans.

[@ArsonistArborist]

@Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this Blake's is the only one here I wouldn't use

[@rudychavira5558]

Great video

[@robertparshall9807]

What about the figure 8 knot between the bowline and Blake's hitch in case of rescue.

[@josecordova5513]

After 30 yrs that bowline never fails....

[@krisalan2453]

Can someone tell what that kind of rope that is. I am trying to find the correct kind so I can practice arborist knots

[@Dmmartin141]

You kind of look like Steve-O! Haha! Killer video though!

[@NBA2KGod23]

Michael Martin that’s what I thought the first second of the video!

[@jgn2112]

YEAH DUDE!

[@joedubray1065]

I totally see that as well 😂

[@samevan4057]

pro tip: you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@princekameron8553]

@Sam Evan definitely, have been watching on flixzone} for months myself =)

[@JeffreyStockwell]

Thanks Nick!

[@SuperHyee]

Thanks !

[@willyjilly9684]

I have a bunch of 20-30 foot rigging rope pieces I got in the "bag o rope". It's all 5/8 to 3/4 inch diameter. What should I do with these pieces? I'm new to rope rigging and trying to figure what to do with these sections. Thanks again for any help!

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

You could tie up dead eye slings? Make spiderlegs?

[@FairfieldPhotographyBC]

if you are concerned about side loading with any knot just make a night appropriate for the object being tied to. No different then the Right family and Nine family.

[@danielusa998]

What rope do you recommend for tree 🌲 climbing 🧗‍♀️ ?

[@bman6065]

Hemp

[@GoodDayFarm]

Great video! Thanks!

[@rusedorange]

See man, I used to tie them like that when I worked on towboats in the 80's but the capt didn't like it because the tag end is in the loop. So my squirrel started going the other direction around the tree so the tag end is outside the loop.

[@christophermartin1860]

I love those variations to that bowline. Thanks for sharing

[@benoit.gerin-lajoie]

Is your rope a static or a dynamic rope ?

[@davidgagnon8220]

what size line and type do you use?

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

This particular rope is All Gear Cherry Bomb

[@MA-dg1qr]

Cannot see demonstration because of camera angle.

[@TriggaPleas]

What do you think of an anchor bend? I've been told its a safe climbing knot, and even that you don't need a stopper just a decent tail. But it looks so bare I'm not sure I can trust it. Very fast to tie/untie though!

[@jamieshaffer6493]

Taut line hitch is the ideal climbing method. I can't explain it with words, you'd have to look it up.

[@mgklclstlmn]

Anchor Hitch is good to secure a line to a carabiner so that it will not shift position. Leave a long enough tail to tie a Blake’s Hitch, and it makes an excellent climbing Hitch with minimal bulk.

[@overtheroadsuccess5258]

The camera angle puts your hands and arms blocking view of the knots you're tying.

[@danielusa998]

the Rabbit come out of the hole goes around the three and back to the hole ,( bowline)

[@ShinBetSharp]

why bowline? its too difficult and takes time

[@АлексейГришин-ы5ю]

Правильно,вместо булиня можно использовать узел Стремя! Это быстрее!

[@tylereddington7588]

Nice looking cherry bomb from All Gear!

[@philmemoi3078]

no bullshit. perfect and thanks!

[@adriangomes8382]

heyyyyy steveoooo

[@oleghuijsmans4935]

Nice

[@masterkronixster]

good video but you forearm is in the way.. im in training for the arborist coarse in new zealand

[@switchgod1688]

Blazed Kiwi how’s the arborist work coming along

[@Ohthezebrah]

Is quite hard to see when ur freaking hands are in front of the knot the whole time

[@vqgav7680]

Like your gonna be working with trees stay in the kitchen

[@gigiclimber7694]

Tiffany, I hope that you take another look at the video now that it is a year or so later. There are a couple of places where the other side of the knot could have been shown so one knows it’s correct- like the alpine butterfly... to know what to look fo to be sure it’s not an alpine ‘moth’. And I could be way out on a limb here- but perhaps “catch” just got caught being insecure with themselves if they are “bashing” a chick that is entering or already in the industry. I’m thinking there are far more trees in the world than arbourist. Not like you are going to take their job. I think it sounds like they are capable of messing it up themselves. And if that’s not the case- I sure wouldn’t want the company or that person to be anywhere around my neck of the woods with that attitude. Maybe they were just “hangry”. I hope whatever is or was going so bitter in their life at the time of their reply has subsided and maybe they are “feeling much better now.” Stay awesome, Tiffany.

[@gigiclimber7694]

catch-... just want to check in with you. Are you okay? (In all sincerity, I am wondering if you noticed this was a video on knots- not about how to try to discourage anyone from doing anything.)

[@Bigmar98]

Looks like Johnny Knoxville and Steve O had a baby.

[@bryant7940]

And?

[@16ixteen43]

Thanks for this mate going to use this to commit no oxygen in lungs!

[@sirj3487]

Not a "Marin spike, " rather, a "marlin spike hitch."

[@DmakAttack]

A bite is not a bend.

[@colorado2264]

You make too fast your knots..!!!! Slow Please !!!

[@supercharged2414]

Your easier and advanced way is way harder to learn. Tried over and over and it just confuses the process.

[@tylerbennett8682]

Not very helpful. Changed view and hands/arms in the way

[@thebigx9388]

Can't see a thing...

[@aronph1]

terrible camera angles

[@wellrounded3800]

This is not an effective video for beginners. Your hands are in the way often making it even more difficult to understand.

[@owenkeith5317]

Learn how to film you can't see anything!!!

[@rolandsoto9291]

does it matter what color rope you have?................lol, had to lol haaaa haaa haaaa lol.

[@seregill13]

this moves way to fast for me to keep up

[@maryrosecannon1881]

thumb in the way on the first one, arm in the way on the second one. E for Effort, but you need a camera person

[@2JustMe1]

Had to go watch a different video. Too fast and no good views of the knots. When you're actually teaching people something you have to remember that they don't know how to do it. It's not just a refresher course. And oh yeah, pitiful camera work.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Sorry to hear that we filmed this 7 years ago and we were still learning. There are updated videos on our channel though.

[@WZDIESEL]

i thought steve-o died

[@goodfellerstreeclearing1953]

Slow down dude. I can't even follow you

[@mgklclstlmn]

I’ve been tying and using Blake’s Hitch for 20 years. It cannot, and never has, “rolled out”. If you believe the safety knot is required, or even useful, you simply do not understand the dynamics of this knot (Blake’s Hitch).

[@CaliforniaCarpenter7]

Redundancy. Like when someone teaches a kid to never point a gun at anyone, loaded or unloaded. Nobody every got shot by an unloaded gun, but the advice builds habits that could save lives. Some kid is going to tie Blake’s hitch wrong today, fail to dress it properly etc. and then ascend on it, and that tail stop is going to save his life

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

@@CaliforniaCarpenter7 Well said. And while we "should" never fly when it's raining, freezing, use a bad rope (too slippery, frayed, too small or short), messed up the knot, don't dress it properly, let the knot get jammed in the pulley..., in the long run it's better to be safe than sorry.

[@on4acres]

Way too fadt

[@Scessions]

Great video
