I wish people understood the importance of trusting your fingers. Its like tying a knot is a metaphysical representation of your "hold" on reality. I love the videos, im a fisherman and its a art and a language as well as a fundamental history of our progress through time. ❤
Another name for second knot is timber hitch. It can be used dragging logs out of woods. Often a series of half hitches are added at various distances from timber hitch, for dragging just felled timber from forest. These hitches are easily untied, because they do not jam. And they hold great while under tension. I’m not sure of name of first knot. But I suspect it is weak, because of the elongated horizontal loop across front of pole. Also the finger tapping is not needed, and while I don’t know, it seems extremely condescending. Regardless, thank you for posting knot videos. Please research and give correct names to each knot or hitch. Some of best knots have many names for same knot in different parts of the world. Knots with most names, are very useful and have popped up world wide, either independently or by travel.
