THIS VIDEO IS LEGITIMATELY BETTER THAN MY SCOUT'S STUPID BOOK INSTRUCTIONS THAT MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL. THANK YOU. ALSO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT , NO EDITING NO CUTS NO SPECIAL EFFECTS OR ANIMATIONS JUST PURE RAW FOOTAGE AND I LOVE IT.
I have discovered that this 2 anticlockwise half hitches flowed by two clockwise half hitches.and if you open up your over hand knot by putting your thumb into the knot as they cross each other you get two half hitches also an overhand knot can be made out of a clove hitch (which is 2 half hitches ) by pulling half hitch through the other.
In making a crown knot (if it's 4 strand like this )you tie 4 anticlockwise half hitches and you then tie 4 clockwise half hitches which makes the wall knot which are inverted and that's all their is to it.
I'm so grateful and quite honestly amazed! I'm the nagging wife who's fed up of waiting for her husband to install the tree swing and I learnt this first time! No need to pause or anything! My baby brain stops me from remembering my age but you managed to teach that brain of mine! And I can remember and do more splices without having to come back! Thank you !
I was then about to be operated on for appendicitis in the operating theatre when the surgeon noticed I still had a ring on … I told her her (dopily because I’d already been pre-opped) (😅) that I just couldn’t get it off … and she said “ don’t worry, I’ll see to it” … she then got thread they use for stitching and did this trick … it worked !!! 😅😅 lol
I just trimmed the ends of 3 ropes. And I'm talking less than an hour ago. Nice nylon so i burned all the ends. Now i have to cut the ends off and put these loops on 3 ends. THANKS A LOT!
You forgot to mention that a lark's head knot reduces the strength of your line by half. For example, if the line is rated for 1 tonne, after tying a lark's head knot, it will be rated for 500 kg.
