@@fermleegrasspit2187 A square knot is a well known knot, also known as the Reef Knot but that is not this 2nd knot. If I Google "Square Knot" that 2nd knot is not what comes up either. Is there another name, or care to elaborate? Thanks!
3 and 5 are actually zeppelin bends, not hunters bends. In a zeppelin bend, the first 2 turns are separate. In a hunters bend, the first 2 turns intersect each other.
@@ajnosek1528 Incorrect. Look closely, 3 & 5 are Hunter's Bends. Look at each knot at 01:49 & 03:07. Each internal part of the rope is under each loop. That never happens with the Zeppelin Bend it does with the Hunter's.
@@johnsettles3 okay, I believe you are right in that they aren’t zeppelin bends. But these are not tied correctly to be the hunters bend. A true hunters bend doesn’t start with 2 separate eye holes. They need to intersect each other first.
@@ajnosek1528 OK, I've looked at both sides of the knot, and the way the ropes lay on both sides is consistent with a Hunter's bend. I am pretty sure those are Hunter's bends. Where do you see the difference? I think you should look closer. By all means if I'm missing something let me know... There are many ways to tie a knot, but what matters is the end result. From what I can see these are Hunter's bends when completed. Knots can be tied in reverse and sometimes appear different, but are the same knot. Anyway, I'm open to observations...
@@mach1553 Some work well with rope but not so much with strings. I tried a few and even some that look to be self locking on rope slide so easily with thinner hemp string. The last one has always been my goto for that and works a treat. Hemp string will break before the knot can give way. pretty handy around the garden
@@ledoynier3694 the first knot was almost a "surgeons" knot. Easy double square knot. I've used this on 1/8" poly line to pull electrical wire in conduit.
Depends a lot on how it's attached and the lay of the rope.. Example a bowline is about 53% if it's 3 strand rope. You can eyeball a knot, bend, or hitch and estimate the % based on how sharply bent the rope is where the greatest tension is going to be. You have to be careful tho. Example if a piece of nylon rope has previously been put under a high strain it may have lost some strength at the point where the most strain was applied. That's one reason why you don't put a rope at a high strain. You are supposed to use a conservative safety factor. In the old days it was 1/6 of the breaking strength of the rope. These days if possible 1/10 is recommended.
The more telling test is a release test. Some of these knots will hold under tension but come loose when tension is released. There is a reason you don't use square knots for lifting people or heavy items over head.
That last one (number 6,) is so nice and clean. I mean, they all are, but some of them have the working ends coming out perpendicular to the standing part which never looks quite as tidy as when they're all parallel. Your skill and knowledge must be very satisfying. My grandpa used to teach me tons of knots and I really wish I had kept up with such a useful skill. Maybe I should get some rope and a book of knots!
I don't generally get excited over knots and all.. But, this is one of my favorites... Sadly, I got rusty. I do want to thank you for the reminder! Not rocket science as they say.. However, do it correct, and we all can trust in it. THANKS!
#3 and # 5 are exactly the same knot, just tied different ways. #4 is a quick-release sheet bend. the problem is ALL of these reduce the overall strength of the connection, sacrificing as much as 50% of the rope strength or more. There are two knots that preserve much more of the rope strength but still provide for a positive connection that will not come undone under load. the Water-knot and the Figure-8 knot. A Water knot is much like #6 though more interlaced, however is suffers from the problem that under a severe load, it will "weld" itself together and become nearly impossible to remove. (someitmes to the point of soaking it and beating it with a mallet) The single best knot to connect to ropes together, is the Figure-8 knot. It preserves 75-80% of the rope strength, and is easily undone by flexing the knot itself till it loosens.
Please, tell me, how does the name effect how to tie the knot or its functionality? If you want a video on knots, how to tie them, and the name make it yourself since you seem to be knowledgeable about them since you decided it was some kind of flex to name one of them. If the name doesn't effect its functionality its unimportant thus not needed.
@@eatonknass247 Simple. Knots have names! I think some of your knots also have names. Or, I could drag my laptop into the wild, and when I need to tie a knot, I'll just watch your (supposedly) Unique-to-you knots!
@@eatonknass247 Are you serious with your post? You're asking how does naming something effect how it works or it's functionality? For starters this video is about education & the spreading of educational materials. Giving things names or putting the names where they belong allows EVERYBODY to refer to them easily & allows for structure of this material. That you'd want to sit there & watch a subject/topic WITHOUT names being given to that topic is just asinine.
Lots of ways to do it. Hell, a plain square knot will work if you keep the two standing lines on the same side. Two questions you should ask yourself when deciding how to tie the ropes are how easily it can be untied loaded or unloaded, and how easy to untie if the lines are wet.
I usually use the double fisherman's knot (#6) sometimes a blood knot which is fast and easy and works well on flat rope. Neither will work loose or compromise the rope strength as much as many other knots do. Untie with hacksaw 😂
Last year, after a small shipwreck, my sailboat got partially stuck in shallow waters, so I used the no.6 to anchor boat on a beach tree and some boulders, and it's safe to say that this knot is indestructible. It held a 5 ton sailboat during a high wind storm for 3 days.
Узел может и выдержит. А вот ваш швартовый это не шкертик. Может не выдержать. Вы когда нибудь видели как рвуться концы дивметром 80-100 мм. Звук плётки и удар в брашпиль как кувалдой. Человека ломает как тростинку!
I used nr 6 after watching another toturial to join the tiny threads for my blinds after they had snapped. I remembered it when we moved out, they held for years!
No. 3 is a zeppelin bend. It is stable, very easy to untie, and will not slip under load. It's my favorite bend to join two ropes or even musical instrument wire. Edit: This actually seems to be a Hunter's bend. Thanks to J Settles for picking up on this. I still really like and highly recommend the zeppelin bend.
@mstalcup Sorry, but respectfully, that's not true, those are hunters bends. Look at those final knot & then look at a Zeppelin Bend, there are differences, and in knots a tiny difference makes a completely different knot. Those are Hunter's Bends, different from Zeppelin Bend.
The last one is my favorite. I bought some roof and had the last knot. I figured out how to tie myself without anyone teaching me. And now I just saw your video and I tied it the same.
That is called the double fisherman's knot. That's very impressive it came up with it on your own, climbers trusted as the best way of trying two rope ends together. I think.
damn your knots! all 6 came undone! I watched this video to tie a 3mm braided carpon clothesline. These knots do not hold if the diameter of the rope is small, and come undone with normal stretching
Anyone who was a boy scout from the 1940's to 1960's was taught all these knots as well as the art of lashing and splicing. as well as knots used in sailing and climbing.
Nice knots, but they al have the disadvantage that they will get stuck in cracks when you try to pull the rope. Just tie both the ropes together in a single stitch. When you pull the rope, the knot will turn outside whilst moving over the rocks.
I use the first of these to join main-line to Shock Leader for beach casting. I find that it is more likely that the main-line will break before this know plus it is relatively small when passing through the eye of my rod guides.
Сергей Лёвкин (старику Бари привет) Чётко, то чётко, только если бы был ковбоем, и ли каюром, и вязал бы их на дню ......,а то один узел, чтоб просто петля была полдня шмурыгал, а на утро ну как назло на фаркопий петельку потребовалось накинуть, ну и хули? 5минут повыстебывался и на ,,два узла" затянул
Шесть узлов - это хорошо, но все ли они равноценны? Какой из этих узлов используют альпинисты? Может какой-то из них позволяет связывать верёвки разной толщины? Может какой-то из них нельзя использовать на верёвках, которые тянуться или мокрые? Вопросов много, ответов нет. Six knots is good, but are they all equal? Which of these knots do climbers use? Maybe one of them allows you to tie ropes of different thicknesses? Maybe some of them should not be used on ropes that are stretchy or wet? Many questions, no answers.
Many years ago, we were given a synthetic rope to test. We set up a pulley system and used knot number 6 to make a loop. We then pulled on that loop until it broke with a huge release of force. The interesting thing was that the knot strands has fused together.
Interesting demonstration and a good presentation but I would add the names and uses of the knots. They all join rope but they have different applications to be used safely.
Interesting video, clever attention grabbing subject. The next level would be to display each knot under increasing tension until failure to show the effects each style has on the rope's limit. My guess is, with all knot styles using the same rope and force application rate, the knots that have a center mass not inline with the force axis, might fail from the knot shearing the rope, and probably with considerably less force. I'll bet on the first knot, kinda like a square knot with one extra loop on the first wrap. Well, if the experiment interests you, I'd watch and like! Gonna check out your other videos, good job 👍
3 & 5 is the Zeppelin knot or Zeppelin Bend. A popular sailing knot for securely joining two ropes, which can be loosened relatively easily even after a heavy load. It actually consists of two intertwined simple knots. The commonly accepted name for this knot stems from its alleged use to moor airships.
