I just can’t enumerate the many times I needed to find out a knot that could help me perform some task. And this here has been the place where I’ve found the answer. Astounding!!!
@@KnottingKnots I’ve been taking sailing classes. It has always been a passion, but the pandemic made me realize that “we do not have time, we have to make time.” Then again, my “blue collar” line of work requires me to be handy, specially creative. That’s why I am getting to learn the ropes. And you’ve been a great source of information. Thanks for your concern. Have a very nice day.
Good luck with that, if you see that happen you need to keep an eye out for sasquatch too. My 15 yr old doesn't forget his phone from room to room. Lol
Saw the speculation on a forum about this knot used for lighting rigging. Released instantly in stiffer, larger rope. Glad to see a step by step, thanks!
The twists in the second version, in the “working loop”scare me. Without even trying the knot, I can already tell that I don’t want any rotation in /of my load otherwise I’m gonna be buying me working mans lunch for a month! 😊
Lineman call that a grunt knot. We pull the tail to release it. It slows you to hold something off, walk away or come down from the pole and yank the standing part to release it. Glad your back Jonny!
For the second version I experimented and found ( using Paracord at least) that doing two twists then putting your knot through makes it more secure. I also put in an Ashley instead of an overhand.
Hello Alex, thanks for popping over and letting me know where in the world you are. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Can you think of a quick release knot for lowering plastic bags, rubble sacks or bin liners? I have had successes with girth hitching the gathered end of the bag, even with the heaviest bag it won't slip out but it requires untying by hand at the bottom...
Listening to your voice, all I can think about is the teacher on the (original) Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. I keep waiting for you to ask Charlie Bucket a question. 😆
@@KnottingKnots Yes! It's a good thing. But only if you ask Charlie Bucket a question. 😉 (Just a little Yankee humor your way) 😉 Seriously though, your videos offer methods not often seen or taught, were you a teacher before? Please let me suggest a little constructive criticism.... If you were to speak to the microphone instead of the classroom, you would appear more relaxed, unless you're giving a test afterwards. 😉
I believe that it is used a lot by lighting riggers to lower their cables.......... just not many people know about this one........ but more do now 😉 😉 😉
Of course for perfect safety you could always use a running bowline or other safe loop with another cord attached to the loop so that you could pull the loop free. Why take any risks?
Cool ideas. I saw another man say that if you have a long enough rope, he would just pulley down his gear and then pull the end through which needs no knots and is secure. I’m assuming whatever he tethered had a handle.
if I am correct in thinking what he says, you would then have to haul up 2x the amount of rope. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing! Do you know of a knot that can be made on a bight passed through a hole or bucket handle that can hold tension, but when tugged real hard will untie the knot? I'm trying to get my grapple anchor to reverse and pull upside down when snagged...
Years ago I did something similar on a folding anchor, is this the sort of thing you are thinking about? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f_jOhYD64Ko.html
I would say rather badly............... I think this is just for gentle workloads for when you are lone working. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@geophphd5594 I have a selection of knots in my arsenal, but am always on the lookout for knots to add or replace existing ones. Also good to hear why you need knots, thanks for sharing.
It must be stated clearly that both versions will fail if overloaded or underloaded. These knots only work if your working load is in between the min and max load. Min loading is needed to align the lines of tension but if you exceed the maximum loading, it deforms the rope causing this misalignment which leads to a breakdown in static equilibrium causing it to come undone. NEVER use in any safety situation.
Basically, my acting career went downhill and I had to resort to these damn videos 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots I drive a truck and have a pickup, I need to tie down loads and tow vehicles or pull out stuck vehicles needing recovery I also do some bushcraft or camping, no sailing yet or climbing but the more knots that can be learned the more activities there are out there that become available, I'm wanting to see all your videos, I find knot tying very interesting and functional I used a 35 thousand pound truck to pull out two field worker's trucks that were stuck in the mud, they were linked together so I pulled them both at the same time with a three inch wide strap that I put into a bowline .. I surprised myself how nicely that worked and then easily untied the knot after pulling what must have been several thousand pounds of force!
@@godngunclinger Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action! I too like to watch lots of knotting videos. I do have a top 10 selection, but am always on the lookout to see if there are other knots that can replace or be added to my top 10. I have never wanted to do a top 10 video, as I feel sure that is the best way to start on online fight 😉 😉 😉
Never use this! Opens on load more then 2 kilos on most modern polyester or dyneema ropes! Не используйте это. Я не знаю что у него там за веревки, но на стандартной 7ке оно развязывается под нагрузкой
I have highlighted the dangers of using this knot, but I would say that it does serve a purpose in the right conditions. It should be tested with different ropes to know the limitations of this hitch. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@glebgrigorovich8390 It worked fine on my milk churn. I would say that it is only good for light loads. It is used by riggers for concerts etc, they use it to lower their coils of cable.
@@geophphd5594 I would say that no knot is any good to you, until you have tested it to suite your requirements. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
