The Hanson Knot forms a fixed loop knot at the end of a rope that is both strong and easy to untie. A popular knot taught in the Boy Scouts in years past. One of the great properties to this fixed loop knot is the standing end rests inline with the fixed loop.

Excellent presentation ! No BS, no music, and a great VOICE, too! I used to know about 150 knots. Now I know 151. Good work!

This is awesome! Basically a fixed loop version of the scaffold hitch. Going to use this one at work tomorrow if the need arises.

I really enjoy these short, to-the-point clips. Just perfect for a little coffee break at work. This also is a very... handsome knot.

Thank you so much for this video! I’m left handed and had to slow it down, but I was able to accomplish this knot! Great instructions too! ❤😊👍

Very well demonstrated know technique, slow and steady with clear explanations and no "whirling hands", watched some other videos on this knot which confused me but got this in one. Thank you.

Another cool knot that looks very useful, thanks Ben 👍

I’m a knot guy. I served in the US Special Forces (Green Berets) for 20 years, I was a Scout Master for 7 years, I have been a mountain and rock climber for 30 years and rescue climber for 10 years including teaching others rescue climbing. When it comes to knots, I still don’t consider myself an expert because of situations just like this. Lol I am processing this knot and it’s structure v it’s use. I haven’t seen any test data to tell me if this structure is as strong as the bowline. When ever I see one or more incidents of nylon crossing over itself in a knot I think heat upon loading. As you mention, dressing is always important to make sure all of the knot is laying where it should be. But also cinching is important to reduce the heat development upon loading. The faster the load is applied (like a fall) and the more loose a knot is, the more heat will be generated. The obvious problem with heat is failure of the knot. Obviously, if a knot is cinched and loaded (slowly) heat will not be as intense and failure is not as likely. One of the reasons I might be tempted to retain the ever present bowline is it’s simplicity but also that I can tie it with one hand (around my body). While I like the working end out of the loop and inline with the standing end in this knot, perhaps I’m a bit to old to switch or even include this since the bowline serves the same purposes. I love the locking bar (you call it a bridge) on both knots and even if you tow a car with it (and I have), it is plenty easy to untie. Finally, I would like to see some testing to failure data so I’m really glad you brought it up. Now I’ll go looking!!! If I find something, I’ll post again. Oh, and if you really want to surprise your subscribers teach it with the rabbit! Lol rotf.

Sounds like you have a wealth of experience. I would be interested to know what knots you rely on the most.

@jcknives4162 3 года назад

No problem. Here are the majority of knots I use. There are more I’m sure. Water knot, Munter hitch, overhand knot, square knot, bowline, 2 loop figure 8, figure 8 on a bight, figure 8 bend, in-line figure 8, figure 8 retrace, figure 8 (stopper knot), clove hitch, barrel knot, girth hitch, prusik, butterfly knot, truckers hitch, double fisherman, Kleimheist, bowline with Yosemite finish, sheet bend, handcuff knot, tautline hitch, tensionless hitch and timber hitch. I’ll add some that aren’t considered knots but are very important to me. Mountaineer’s coil, butterfly coil, bowline on a coil and Swiss seat. And lastly a few knots with their percentage of strength retention where “no knot” is 100% rope strength. Figure 8 is 75-80%, Bowline is 70-75%, double fisherman’s is 65-70% and all 3: clove hitch, Fisherman’s and overhand are 60-65%. This percentage information is taken from “Mountaineering The Freedom Of The Hills” This is likely more than you asked for but honestly I have used every one of these knots in the field (including the handcuff knot… :)…)

Oh amd out favorite saying, “if you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot.” Lol

@jcknives4162 3 года назад

Also, I did leave out the one handed clove hitch. You get extra credit if you do a short video on how to tie the knot but don’t slow down and pause at the critical point. This may madden the viewers for a while but maybe in the next knot video show the critical hand movement so you don’t drive them completely nuts!!!!! Lol rotf!!!

I thought about your question in a different way. What knots do I wish I had learned early on and stayed proficient with. There are 20 which means I cut 9. Of the 20, 2 are not knots (Butterfly coil and swiss seat). Also it should be known that some of them are not just their own knot or hitch but are the basis for other knots and hitches. I'll Identify them with a "A" for the base knot/hitch and then "B" for the follow on knot/hitch. 1. A. Overhand knot B. Square knot 2. A. Girth hitch B. Prusik knot 3. A. figure 8 (stopper) B. Retrace (rewoven) fig 8 B. Figure 8 bend B. Figure 8 on a bight 4. A. Half hitch B. Clove hitch 5. A. Barrel knot B. Double Fisherman's knot 6. Trucker's hitch 7. Munter hitch (also with mule knot... to tie off) 8. Water knot 9. Bowline 10. Tautline 11. Tensionless anchor 12. Timber hitch These last two are not knots but I wish I knew them earlier on. 1. Butterfly coil with farmer's tie off 2. Swiss seat Would I cut any of these out of my list, not unless I was willing to become less efficient and safe. Also, I often have a 20' length of 6mm accessory cord coiled and secured with a bight onto a carabiner so I can practice. I keep one on my day pack and back pack.

Exactly what I needed for the boat to shore spike. TY

@benveach9689 2 года назад

Content wise I’m glad you began with 18 inch of cord instead of being cheap and using only half as much~ This made it so much easier to learn without watching over and over~Color of cordage is good too never use black~Thanks

This is a great knot

@adr7ex Год назад

Nice! Works well with hanging piñata’s!

@steveroberts5941 11 месяцев назад

This is a great knot! I guess the bowline is just that bit easier to tie and also to see that it is correctly formed - hence better to teach to novices. With a Yosemite finish on the bowline, you have the same neat tail along the standing end as you have with the hanson loop.

@roguerangerroger Год назад

Almost like the perfection loop

@darnellb85 3 года назад

Great 👍🏽

Cool, can you make a tut on how to tie it on a ceiling??

@Dnasty1 6 месяцев назад

Great video. How do I know what is the best loop for each task? I wanted to operate a pulley for moving an object horizontally. One side would attach to nylon handles the other would attach to a carabiner.

Is this enough for hammock, complete beginner here no idea of weights anf knots or hammocks

@word2thewise447 2 года назад

Cooool 😎

@jayscuffington Год назад

What kind of rope and size do you recommend for a beginner trying to learn different knots? I have some paracord but it’s difficult to work with.

@txtoolcrib Год назад

amzn.to/3JpEccJ 1/4” or 5/16” paramax

@JohnGreen_US 3 года назад

There sure are lots on knots ... I know many but can't learn them all. Bowline with Yosemite finish would seem to heavily overlap the added utility of the Hanson.

@txtoolcrib 3 года назад

I think I tend to agree. I like the Bowline with Yosemite finish as well.
