Kalmyk Loop

How to tie the Kalmyk Loop Knot.

[@NotCreative479]

Was seriously telling my gf I needed to learn knots more. Found you scrolling and subbed. I've only seen 2 of your videos but picked up each knot on the first go. Now I'm driving her crazy attaching para cord to everything in the house lol ty

[@txtoolcrib]

That’s great lol. It’s a skill that will prove invaluable when you need it.

[@13Voodoobilly69]

Sounds just like me!🤣. My father was a knot tying guru and now that I am older I see applications all the time where knot tying skills help wonderfully in life.

[@thehamburglar9mm]

Did you tie her up yet?

[@cat-pd1di]

I watched your youtube version of this knot and gave up ....this version I got it on the 2nd try! thanks for your videos

[@txtoolcrib]

Glad I could help!

[@KeepItSwift]

Really appreciate your vids. Hopefully, the shorts can spread some awareness. This one is the quick-release Eskimo Bowline, as you mentioned on your channel. Both are not mentioned in Ashley's book of knots, but are found in its Russian equivalent. It is rather secure making it my fav quick-release fixed loop. There is also the one hand and the snap technique to form the loop in seconds.

[@itsallinthehead]

Your explanation is simply perfect. Thank you very much indeed!

[@koh9894]

Great knot. Thanks. Non-binding knots are fantastic. Quick-release knots are cool but I'm less likely to use this one than the Alpine Butterfly. Still, this is a beautiful knot. Adding to what I practice. thanks again.

Ur my favorite how-to knot guy on YT. Request: How to tie knots while rope is under tension.

[@13Voodoobilly69]

Look up the Midshipman’s Hitch. It’s an easy to tie knot with lots of uses. It is often called the Taut line hitch.

[@alexbondarev8986]

you kill this knot!

[@davidlee6461]

Quick method, better than before, thanks Ben!

[@alexbondarev8986]

aga. He kill this knot.

[@Steve-0220]

Sure looks a lot like a "slip"bowline to me. I like it

[@thewaywardwanderer7249]

Maybe I'm tying it wrong, as I haven't looked up a "slip bowline" yet, but, when pulling the working end of *my* slip bowline (I'm just adding a bite on the working end of a standard bowline), it results in an overhand knot around the object, whereas the Kalmyk loop pulls free

[@thewaywardwanderer7249]

After watching a couple more videos, I have found that the difference is the direction you feed the working end through the "ignition on" loop on the standing end. The start of a bowline would create an overhand knot, whereas the Kalmyk loop just starts with a loop in the working end. From the perspective in this video, the working end goes through the loop: under, then over, where a bowline knot would go through the loop the opposite way: over, then under

[@muhammadzazulirizki1000]

Kalmyk loop is basically an easy release version of Eskimo bowline

[@Steve-0220]

@@muhammadzazulirizki1000 even an old Scoutmaster doesn't know All the knots in "The Ashley Book of Knots." BUT, we're always looking for new ones. The only one I never taught was the Hangman's Knot since it has No USEFUL Purpose.

[@jayprojects9693]

Thanks. I almost always got an unsecure imposter with the hand wrap method; not sure I'd trust this one, but good to know just in case.

[@happivaras]

Nice A bowline with a (twist)😉

[@brianwalker5937]

Would love to see real life applications and why a particular knot is chosen over alternatives

[@NulodPBall]

I would just use a modified bowline because I already know that knot. Just snug it down properly.

[@NulodPBall]

But I actually like a modified clove hitch if I'm attaching to a hard point. I already know it. There are about 3 variations and only 1 holds tight with no loose lays.

[@Battleship1996]

Horses.

[@powerplay8355]

I know, isn't it amazing that these knot tying fools haven't worked that out yet?

[@Zendukai]

I've subbed to this channel, I dunno what it is about knots, maybe in a previous life I had a lot to do with them, I use mostly ratchet straps lol. I like to know the knot names and especially I would like to see what you would use these for, and, put the load under load and watch, how well you ... easily undo them.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Thanks. But I believe you are calling the standing end as working end and vice versa. The left side line is going to do the work.

[@adamreznik6374]

No, the standing end takes the load, (and does the "work" as you say) but it is not the working end. The working end is the end that is worked with, also known as the bitter end. A curve in the line that does not cross itself is a bight (not bite). If it crosses itself it is a loop.

[@visavispacemnc9019]

Super easy. Nice thank you.

[@DeltaMikeTorrevieja]

Barely an inconvenience?

[@vwr32jeep]

Oh, that’s slick.

[@johnbell5728]

KO

[@johnbell5728]

OK

[@jimiwasteland3360]

Great!

[@That70sChannel]

It's a bowlin with a release built in.

[@thewaywardwanderer7249]

It's not though. A bowline with a release results in an overhand knot around the object when the bight is pulled. The Kalmyk pulls free.

[@S85B50Engine]

So basically like a modified Bowline right?

[@joshualux8309]

You have pass the working end all the through the loop?

[@pauldean8638]

I prefer the highway hitch ( not the one others are now calling it which it isn’t ) the original hitch . Its design a horse could fully pull on but takes two finger effort to undo

[@scottc3165]

That's a cool one, but a better one, I think, is a bank robbers knot. I use it for iffy horses that i don't want to kill me in a trailer.

[@MsVasia123]

Its make with one hand

[@paulcrave3112]

Great knot I need to remember. I went to the garage and tied it over and over again, from both the left and the right. How can I save this video to my library or something?

[@NulodPBall]

Hit the Share icon, Select the Copy icon, Paste the link into an email or any file that you can save. I use an email folder to access knot links from anywhere, I also use an app on my phone called ColorNotes also (check box mode) because it's quick and easy to use, and it stores my info online so I can recover the files if I change phones.

[@tempestive1]

Or send it to yourself over signal, whatsapp, telegram, etc

[@juniorlopez8205]

If you're viewing shorts on your phone, look at the right side of the screen with options to share, comment, etc... Below that is a pic of the video creator. Click on it. It'll pop up another screen with the vid as well as the option to save it

[@NulodPBall]

@@juniorlopez8205 Junior, that only saves the "sounds" from the shorts video. Not really sure why you'd want to do that unless you want to create your own video and want to steal their soundtrack. Pretty useless to the average viewer.

[@NulodPBall]

​@@juniorlopez8205 I decided to follow the. "Sounds" rabbit-hole, and if you save in "Sounds" you can jump to your library, open up saved Sounds, and from that list, click on the 3 dots on the right, then save the video in one of your personal KZbin categories... Now that I can do, if I care enough to do that many clicks... Jeesh, what a pain.

[@mostafae]

This is wonderful. Basically, a bowline with the working end looped through as a bight rather than an end, right? Been teaching my daughters knots and they’re really enjoying it. Thanks for passing down useful knowledge in an easy way.

[@mostafae]

I stand corrected. Saw your other video on a quick release bowline. They’re in fact different. It seems the pinching loop forms on the inside of the main loop rather than on the outside/standing end like a bowline.

[@muhammadzazulirizki1000]

It's a quick release version of Eskimo bowline, not regular bowline

[@DanielRamirez-go7kc]

As a truck driver i use this tie when i have freight on the nose of my trailer( no dock) i use this tie to strap pallet and forklift to pulled it off lol

[@thehamburglar9mm]

Now was that a real lol or a fake lol?

[@yuriizahorenko1657]

Bad result. You did not from the final knot interposition.

[@charleypetty6242]

Should be high school standard to know these basic knots.

[@sO_RoNerY]

Ugh. Everyone wants a fast release instead of a secure knot. I doubt fast release knots are reliable.

[@GavinKing_AKA_plumpNation]

Is it an Eskimo bowline with a quick release? Doesn't look like it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5O1dXqbbtWgo7c Thanks for the video

[@muhammadzazulirizki1000]

It is an quick release version of Eskimo bowline. But the one on this video is how it looks like from behind

[@user-zq3nl9vb9w]

消防。モアイ結びですね

[@mistercommythecomrade7920]

You lost me at the second step

[@RErnie-gv1hv]

Knots - simple and overly complicated at the same time. A Master Chief Boatswain's Mate went nuts trying to get me to understand knots during Boot Camp.
