Tying the Double Dragon Loop Knot around an object. In my previous video of the Double Dragon Loop, I demonstrated how to tie the knot just as a loop knot: • How to Tie the Double ... However there may be times when you want to tie the Double Dragon Loop knot around an object. Perhaps this may be the preferred method of tying the knot, as you then cover both variants in one knot?
The Double Dragon Loop is considered by many to be a superior loop knot compare to many other loop knots. One great advantage of the Double Dragon Loop is that it works extremely well in slippery rope such as Dyneema. Although I have not tested this, it is said that the Double Dragon Loop is relatively easy to untie, even if the knot has been heavily loaded.
I wonder if the is a good Bowline alternative.

Hi, I finally found the book the art of knotting and splicing. I wasn’t easy, I called a friend from Vietnam, he made it to the top in the U.S. I know the Navy Rules, so a lowly Army guy had to get help from the Navy. I started reading it, love the pictures they make it easier to learn the knots. Oh he called someone at the Naval Academy it was on its way the same day. I think they send me the only copy they had on file. Your right book

@KnottingKnots 3 года назад

I do love this book, it may not have every knot in it, but it is an excellent book. When you say Vietnam, you friend is there or served there? Thanks for telling my your exploits in getting the book.

@tedburns5086 3 года назад

We served there together, he rose through the ranks, and made it to the top of the pyramid, but he never forgot or forgets a friend. He was Brown Water Navy, gun boats on the rivers, but he commanded a Carrier Group as well, then second in charge of naval planning. He still calls everyone left out of our Special Forces Team. And there are only 3 of us now. He never left any of us behind including our fallen comrades. Most of the time his boat looked like Swiss Cheese by the time he pulled out. Blessed be all that serve their country.

@@tedburns5086 I do recall years ago, pulling into Norfolk. Whilst there I ended up in the EM's Club. I remember one of the passageways had a photo of some very junior sailor, who was on gunboats. I remember reading about all the heroic things that he did, I thought to myself, I never want to have to go through that. The trouble with age is, you end up saying goodbye to too many good sailors!!

@@A.J.Collins Just looked at a map and a place that jumped out at me was Savannah. I remember arriving there by ship in the mid to late 70's on a Sunday!!! With great excitement, we went ashore looking for the nearest bar. All watering holes were shut, I think the best we could find was a pancake house. So after a few pigs in blanket and a root beer, we returned back onboard very sober.

@A.J.Collins 3 года назад

@@KnottingKnots Yes, the "Blue Laws" were most likely still in effect back then which prohibited alcohol sales on Sundays. Savannah is an interesting town. The nearby paper mills and nuclear power plant upriver from the city seem to add to its strange ambiance. I am more familiar with Charleston, up the coast from Savannah, but both places are as inviting as they are charming. (As long as you ignore the oppressive humidity, copious mosquitoes, and oddly aggressive "palmetto bugs" aka. "flying cockroaches.")

The flashing yellow text is a bit of a distraction. Great site. 1980s a guy showed me how he did a clove hitch for a piton one handed and wearing a mitten glove. My father showed me how he used to tie a bowline around his waist with one hand when he used to go caving in the 1950s. All the best John

This looks like the Angler's loop. Or perfectio loop. Just doubled. What are the advantages of this knot?

@KnottingKnots 3 года назад

I think they are all part of the same family. This works great when having to use really slippery rope such as Dyneema.

@lgshs5501 Год назад

The perfect loop tends to jam badly. Double dragon it's easier to untie after a heavy load.

Yes it is true, many of us are no longer around, and unfortunately many by their own hands. War is you know #$!*&% and you also know what losses are both from the Falklands and Iraq. You know that most people do not even remember the Falklands, I ask my younger kids if they know anything about that war, in return they ask me what was Vietnam. I just reread a book about the Falklands and it brought back things that I was forgetting. But if you were there you never forget a single day. Now what is float rope can you send me a picture, I looked on all the rope and rigging sites that I could find nothing, we most likely call it something else, remember what General Patton said that the only thing that separates us is our common language. I am trying to combine rope into some of my paracord projects, many of the really old navy vets love the rope in them, but unfortunately for me none of them were bosun mates, I want to learn how they did the handrails and support posts with turks head knots and how they figured out how much rope was needed, hopefully this book will help, but I know they each had their own way of doing them.

@KnottingKnots 3 года назад

The ones who were there, are the only ones that remember it forever. This is the rope that I use for messing about with, also used in my videos: www.cheaprope.co.uk/floating-safety-rope-c-3000_9258.html If you are looking for good quality cordage for doing fancy ropework, then let me know and I will dig out a site in the States.
