I've been using that same cinch knot for my wool blankets for years. But it never occurred to me to come around and wrap it through the loop a second time for it to cinch onto itself. An old dog can learn a new trick. Thanks for the info.
@@clay1883 so you must have used an overhand knot to secure your cinch and you'll still need to or you'll be leaving gear on the trail behind you. I can't (and don't) believe the sycophantic praise heaped on these supposed "bush crafters" for failed attempts at re-inventing the wheel.
This is a great technique to use for the trucker's hitch, do that double loop and it'll hold the pull on the hitch! Thank you for the explanation, very clear!
@@migmagingenieria I totally disagree. I've tied a million truckers hitches and the guys who taught it to me tied billions more. Double wrapping only slows the process down and adds NOTHING to the security or ease of tying. As a sailor, speed, ease, security and jamb proof are what make the truckers hitch effective. If you need to double wrap in order to "hold the pull on the hitch" you're doing it wrong.
It slips out because it's a hitch and not a knot. A proper knot will not work loose. Big difference being a hitch and a knot. You can use this " cinch not a knot" for any gear you don't mind losing.
This is exactly the technique I needed right now. I was looking for an expedient way to secure a rod holder to the side of a sling bag that I'm gonna use as my day pack and was trying to find straps that were just long enough to strap it in place, but without a bunch of dangling ends. Now I can do it with exactly the length of cord I need and without spending any money.
@@UguysRnuts It's not the funds that are the problem, it's finding something that fits what I want to carry in the footprint I want it to be in. Not having to spend any money is just a happy bonus. And a loop isn't going to cut it since there's multiple things are gonna go there.
Interesting knot, but not as efficient as the Canadian Jam knot (Arbor knot). And instead of an over hand knot, just do a half hitch on the main line :) This being said, it's always nice to learn about a new knot :D
If you don't secure it with a slipped hitch it WILL fail, so why FN bother with the jamb? Just learn to use a truckers hitch if you want to do it right.
@@UguysRnuts We're not rock climbing with it. I have literally twenty versions of trucker's hitch that I can use - and this knot has its place. Everything in context.
Excellent… Much better than the Canadian Jam Knot… and it fulfils the 4 main functions of a knot… “A knot should be easy to tie, easy to untie, should fulfil the purpose that it’s tied for and should not damage the line…
Holy shyt... a newer variation to my most used type knot. Amazing just how close I've been for years and just missed 1 more round! It's like living next to a hottie for decades and knot knowing it! See what i did there, i tied in a pun... oopsy... did it again 😂😂
More complicated, expensive when your gear falls off the pack, by no means effective since without a securing hitch, it can't be trusted but otherwise eggsellent.
Awesome! I sometimes find that a cow hitch will slip, depending on the type of line I'm using, so I will finish it off with a half hitch or two. I'll give that overhand slip knot idea a try.
This was so easy and effective. After watching this video, I went on to use it to bind many bundles of leafy branches from a nuisance tree I just took down and cut up.
Muito bom! Esse eu não conhecia. Muito simples e seguro. Vou começar a usá-lo a partir do meu próximo acampamento. Parabéns pelo vídeo! Um grande abraço!👏👏🇧🇷
Thanks for this knot it is really simple and does its job well =) I learned a new slip knot recently while messing about with my rope i should make a vid of it cause i think it could be useful for someone haha
