J.D. Lenzen, the inventor of fusion knotting, explains knot tying in 15 levels of difficulty, from easy to complex. J.D. starts from the very beginning, with overhead, bowline, and square knots, and moves all the way into more advanced knots that are created in combination with many other different types of knots.

@DynestiGTI Год назад

You know knots are complicated when it's a genuine mathematical topic of study.

@wbfaulk Год назад

Mathematical knots aren't rope knots, though. Mathematical knots have no ends. There's still a relationship, but much of rope knots are about attaching ends, or running ends through bights, and that doesn't happen in mathematical knots.

@VoidHalo Год назад

The irony of what you said is that having a mathematical language with which to describe knot theory makes it much more coherent and easier to understand than if people were just making up their own language and what not to describe the same thing. It would get very confusing without such standardization at the very least, I would imagine.

About 6 or 7 years ago my son was a Boy Scout and I was an Assistant Scoutmaster. I came across J.D.'s books, and bought one of them. Every week I would craft a different neckerchief slide to wear. I still have about 20 of them. A lot of them I gave out to boys who didn't have a slide. It was a lot of fun making them. If you're reading this, thanks J.D.!

Interesting selection of knots. I was surprised that you chose the single fisherman's over the double, or the zeppelin bend over the sheet bend (on that point, I was under the impression that zeppelin is better for ropes of the same size... the sheet bend is for different sizes). I also half expected a sheepshank to be in here somewhere, but I can see why it wasn't. Thanks for the video!

@Alanms2 Год назад

@timng9104 Год назад

trucker knot is potentially life saving, the mechanical advantage gives u so much tension with pivot or without pivot. you can practise it by making a tension line against a pivot or just secure wrap something

@Scurvy_Soso Год назад

Tie a bowline at the end of a rope, know how to make a trucker's itch and you can set up a tarp shelter in a mater of minutes (minute if you're experimented enough)

@HuslWusl Год назад

I'd love to learn how to tie these knots, I thought so many condensed into a single video would be amazing... then I struggled more and more, because the camera angle changed so much and it feels like there were just way too many cuts during the actual tying of the knots. Just look at the prosperity knot. I could only follow that with lots and lots of rewinding and slowing down. Sure this isn't supposed to be a tutorial, but man, I think the tying of knots is equally as important as the functionality when talking about knots

@BestBro44 Год назад

These look more like demos, which makes sense for the show. JD has a RU-vid page - Tying It All Together - he has tutorial videos there that are single camera angle.

The advanced knots. The trucker's hitch was advanced to me. I learned it a few years ago, then forgot it. Everything after your trucker's hitch was advanced to me. The sacred knots were very nice, man. I can see the potential for art in them, and when you mentioned an earlier utility knot, it made me think of a fancy squarish knot I remember seeing in a Chinese restaurant somewhere. I was wondering if you were going to do some of those, and you didn't disappoint. Good job on your challenge!

Many years ago, when I was kid, I spent enough time one summer reading my father's Boy Scout book and learn every single knot shown there so well that I could do them blindfolded or behind my back. The one exception was the three-loop "tent knot" which requires you to use your teeth to pull the central loop tight at the same time as the two side loops.

5:47 I am a rope access tech. Instead of using two overhands knots to make a fisherman's knot, we use two stopper knots. Our stopper knots don't wrap as much though - we have an X on one side and two parallel lines on the other. Funny how the same name is used. I suppose to achieves the same thing. I suspect we are trained to tie it this way because it doesn't reduce the rope's strength as much. I think our weakest knot (iirc the alpine butterfly) reduces rope strength by 33%.
