Best bowline information video on YT. Well done!

Thanks! I just used this to hold a newly planted tree straight.

Thank you. Worked perfectly. Simple but easy to forget of you don’t do it often.

the slipknot just cinches when i do this

The engineering calculations of kinematics that's what we called it when I learned it

Nice video, however you need more and better practical examples for it to make sense to the newbie.

Though it doesn't look as pretty as the others, I really prefer the midshipman's hitch for the reason that you mentioned: It can handle some tension. That also means one can tie it under some existing tension which comes in more handy than one would expect. Usually I like to go with two inside wraps as well for a bit more friction on the line.

Thank u

A simple Taught line hitch would be much easier and safer just saying lol.

Cossack Bowline and Eskimo bowline are different knots. They relate to each other differently than the Dutch and English versions of bowlines. It is impossible to tie a Kalmyk knot on an Eskimo bowline

Knot able to see crap

1857 is the most elegant and is pretty much a “self prussic”

Without context this video comes across very differently.

When using slippery line you can use the magnus and it's look-alikes, but give it an extra wrap. I do this anyway with paracord, especially if it's new and slippery.

I use the latter two only because I sometimes mixup the last half-hitch :-)

I ❤ Ashley's Book of Knots!

Great video! First thing I did after watching the viral video was to try it myself. I got confused because the first time I tried it, I untangled it very easily (I rotated the cross just like you did) and then I had difficulty when trying to do it again. Now I understand it was because the two knots I had were fundamentally different. The first knot I tried, I was careful to make it exactly like the video. But later, I started by going underneath the rod with the extension cord, doing one loop and ending up on the other side. My moment of insight came when I realized that if I had to lift the rod/go around the rod to make the knot, I would need to do something equivalent to undo the knot.

The entire part about manually compensating for declination is completely wrong.

Thank you for making this video

This trick is so over used

Though I tried to learn new knots, and tried to remember how to tie this knot a couple of times, square knot and hangman's knot are the only two I can always remember how to tie.

or just lift the plank

Excellent video. With that in mind, the tag end for all of these knots are on the same side of the standing end in ABOK. What matters is whether the working end follows follows the original lay over the standing end.

This is the Magnus Hitch.

Clever because it's so simple

awesome! I knew there was a trick going on here. my skeptic mind could not find any way possible to get to chord out without lifting the bar.

The first method seems not right. The rope can slip, creating uneven tension.

It isn't work when you have long rope 🥺

Im a 1857

That looks like a real cold night out of doors!

My Boys Scout days 1962-1964, I learn the 1857, the third type. We use it putting on our tent, the teacher is inspecting it if we did it right.

Exceptional video and very fastidious and precise. The only correction that needs to be made is in the final moments of the video where you conflate the Tugboat or Flying Bowline with the Angler's Loop; they are different knots. Thanks for keeping things real with knot tying...

🤣 You used the same smoke-and-mirrors effect that you exposed in your previous video! It's far more straightforward to start with a bight going up behind the rail, and then pass the plug through it. And simply reverse to untie: pull the plug upwards which brings the bight up behind the rail again, and free the plug from the bight. _Presto!_

You could have knit a scarf at the end there and I may not have noticed.

From a frustrated beginner: when are video makers going to understand that when your hand is between the camera and the crucial thing you’re trying to demonstrate, the viewer cannot see that crucial thing because they can’t see through your hand?

Thank you

Why didn't you just use a tree dummy

Yes! Ashley's book of knots! Well done.

I love learning all these knots. But I always forget them the next day.

Love love love this video! Such a useful knot when bundling materials.

This is fantastic. Thanks!

Your camera angle sucks for making a how to video

Actually magnus hitch

Sorry, but the needle does NOT point to the magnetic north pole. It is aligned with the magnetic field at the location you are in. Unfortunately, this is a mistake that many people make.

I have a small Swedish compass I bought in a second hand store here in Brasil. I believe it is 60 years old or more. It has a dial with degree markings engraved that can be spinned and a ruler to use it with maps. It cost me less then $2. I also use a Garmin GPS device as a compass too. Regadless, I will buy a better compass. The best video on the subject I've seen so far. Thanks.

So I agree that if the tree is treated as a pulley then it would be 3:1 advantage. But when you tie a ridgeline for a tarp with a tree as an anchor point, the rope doesnt rotate around the tree, making the whole system a single pulley system, i.e. a mechanical advantage of 2:1. This also explains why your experiment gives a 3:1 advantage because when setting it up you allow the "tree" part of the system to move.
