THE CONSTRICTOR HITCH might either be the MOST DANGEROUS ...OR...The MOST USEFUL knot out there. Use this one with caution, and DONT ever tie it around body parts - because it's nearly impossible to get undone. That being said, it has a number of amazing uses which I explain thoroughly. A Great knot for Camping, Prepping, Bushcraft and Survival.
When tying this knot with a non-stiff rope, like paracord, especially without the inside lengths, it will bind up so tight that you'll nearly always have to cut it loose. This knot is a close-cousin of the CLOVE hitch, and has the advantage of two extra working ends that when used, wont affect the movement of the actual knot itself.

In this tutorial video, you'll learn how to tie a bowline knot, a versatile knot that can be used in a variety of situations including camping, survival, bushcraft, and general life skills and knowledge. The bowline knot is also known as the king of knots because of its strength and reliability. Whether you're tying a knot for fishing, securing your shelter, or just need to tie something securely, the bowline knot is a valuable skill to have in your knot-tying arsenal. In this video, we'll also touch on other popular knots like the clove hitch, square knot, and reef knot, as well as different types of rope and cordage like nylon, sisal, and macrame cord. So, whether you're a seasoned knot-tying expert or a beginner, this video is perfect for anyone looking to improve their knot-tying skills and learn valuable survival knots.
The following knots, hitches, and bends are in this video. I break them down into Anchor knots, Tension knots, mid-line knots, and binding knots.
You'll find the Zeppelin bend - or 69 knot, The Sheet bend and Double sheet bend, the Bowline, (Anti-Bowline or Eskimo knot), the Evenk Hitch (Siberian Hitch), Taut-Line Hitch (Magnus Hitch, Midshipman Hitch, and Rolling Hitch), Truckers Hitch ( Auto-Locking Truckers Hitch), The Prusik knot, Alpine Butterfly, Constrictor Hitch and Canadian Jam knot (Quick Release Jam Knot).
I tie all these knots with Paracord, and they are considered Survival knots, bushcraft knots and camping knots. I explain the use of a Bight, round turn, hitch, and bend.
Wether you want to learn how to tie down a tarp, how to set up a tent, what to do with a fray or cut in your rope, or how to join two ropes together - this is the guide for you!

@@jehu-kayak biggest difference is security. Clove is easier to tie, generally it will be the go to, but easier to come loose (for better or worse) Constrictor’s biggest benefit over the clove is security. It has the capability to become a permanent knot, if you wanted, and if you’re using the free ends of the clove for other applications, (especially in a stiff rope) if there is backward pressure on the knot it can slowly come loose. The constrictor generally won’t in that case. Hope this makes sense for ya

The untie-ability of any knot depends greatly on the type, slipperyness, diameter of the rope and fixture, plus the amount and direction of forces applied to it when tied. I've had clove hitches fall apart and clove hitches needing cutting. This one avoids the loosening factor.

Yes!! Simon it is. If you tie the clove, then with your free end just loop it under the opposite part of the X, it becomes the constrictor. (I will show that in a clove hitch video) sorry it’s hard to explain - I just didn’t want to show it here to complicate the many ways of tying this

I do the same. I live off grid on a small island just off shore from town, and i work as an aerial window cleaner in town. So as you can imagine, i tie a lot of knots. I tie clove hitches when i have to reset constantly, constrictors when it needs to be extra secure, or the knot will be in place for a while.
@LightbringerDesigns
@LightbringerDesigns Год назад
When it comes to untying, I just tried it with paracord a few times, even when I did pull it really tight, I found the secret is to follow the rope going in, it goes under 2 strands then over & around; pull at the "over" spot & it loosens up! Maybe it's harder when you're tying around something soft, I used my aluminum fountain pen, since it's very tough & a little tapered so for sure I can slip it off the end result! It's also always in my pocket lol.

Since the part crossing over both ends is what keeps the entire knot under tension, you can make untying it easier for yourself when you roll that part over, essentially freeing one end you can then pull out and undo the knot all the way. Also, there´s two variants of the constrictor knot with even higher internal friction that are better suited to secure the end of a line, they can even be used as improvised hose clamps ( it´s good to know the marlspike hitch to properly tension them, but that´s another story). They´re called boas knot AFAIK and are best tied in a continuous line. With the technique you showed, you make two or three loops instead of one and cross them over in the same eight- shape.

There is a version of this knot (which I unfortunately don't know the name of) where instead of finishing by putting the working end under the X, you pass it under the object you're tying it to and then put it under the X from the other side. It also holds very tight but is relatively easy to untie. The only difference is that you finish with both ends of the rope on the same side (which also has many uses, though).

Great presentation style about the constrictor. But almost every job shown can be done with the simpler clove hitch, such as wrapping around a stick to hold up a tarp. Or my favorite, the similar miller's knot. To finish, you take the free end all the way across to the right and tuck it under just the first loop you'd wrapped, coming from the right hand outside back toward the center as you continue to wrap in the same direction. Can't get it quite as super tight, but it's still totally solid. And if you pass a bight - the "slipped" version - it comes undone significantly more easily than the slipped constrictor shown in the middle of the video. I always use it slipped and have never had a problem. For a heavy duty lashing, yeah the constrictor is probably the way to go to start it for maximum grip. But almost all the other uses would benefit from being able to untie it if needed. The (slipped) miller's knot works great...
@TheBearEssentials
@TheBearEssentials Год назад
Hey!! Ya 100%, I filmed a clove hitch vid at the same time to post in the near future. It's a superior knot for applications where you want to undo the knot and reuse it. But I find the tarp example - in the wind - as the tarp shakes in the wind, the clove may come undone.. Not a huge issue and the clove is usually great - but just some added knowledge incase people want a more permanent knot. Thanks so much for the great comment here!!! I love it when people are adding to the discussion and community, really builds up a great knowledge base!

to unlock a seized up constrictor hitch, i'd take a ziptie and squeeze in around the very first part of the end in the knot, and pull out. That will create slack enought wo wiggle it all loose again. Ziptie, hook, screwdriver, back of a knife, a stick, whatever's hard and flat enough to make the rope yield and slide under. Once in place, it should give plenty of leverage

To make a fixpoint on a tarp I prefer using a smooth round stone or other object to make a pouch around which I can tie the rope. It uses less material from the tarp and it gets very strong and the load is distributed in the fabric.

As a scout we had an annual raft building competition. We built them out of drums, gum poles and sisal ropes. Without fail someone in our troop would use a constrictor hitch instead of a clove hitch when starting their lashings. Sisal rope in water for a weekend swells up and gets hard as hell to undo anyhow. The ones done with constrictor was damn near impossible.

You can put a rock in an unbroken part of your tarp, tie a constrictor around the bunched fabric behind the rock and create a stronger attachment point.

I feel like for a lot of these cases I would still use a clove hitch for easy untying. If I want it super safe, I will use the constrictor. But it is, as it name suggests, constricting so hard it is always a pain to get off... So I only use it when I really need that benefit.

The clove hitch is only ever thought of as a temporary knot on boats, mainly for fenders that need moving a lot.

I would try pulling the sides to release. . The onees that you pushed could be pulled from the side.

I found this knot when I was 7 years old, by doing a notbook start to finish and it became my fafourite knot since ( 25 now). Never failed me. About 3 years ago, while looking up how to tie the end of 3-string rope, I found out that for slippery surfaces/ropes you can double up the knot! just two rounds in the middle or the end and it's even stronger! Found that in an italian seamans knot book. It seems so logical and jet so mindblowing

For a tarp, try tying in a button instead of a loop. Just place a rock on the back side and then tie the tarp on the front side around the base of the rock. Acorns work pretty well too.

I'd never use this with any cordage that is high quality or costly. But with cheap disposable cordage...its highly effective for securing anything that will be under tension long-term.

Definitely, I use it mainly with bank line or twine that I can leave there and it biodegrades over time
