It's true.. I was going down a very dark path and the Sheet bend was there for me. Changed my Life.

As important a knot to know as the bowline is. It's ability to join rope of different sizes makes it a game changer.

Fun fact, the bowline is just a sheet bend with a loop in it.

I really like the way you explain things, very thorough and easy to understand

Right on! Make sure you tie a safety knot in there if your really reliant on the knot

Great videos!!! I've been camping and doing all kinds of survival type stuff since I was 10 (that's 53 years [OMG!!!]) and one thing you need to do on a regular basis is practice your knots. They're easy to forget. So your videos are my practice. Teaching knots to others is a great way to practice, as well!!!

@@TheBearEssentials Yeah, great idea!!! Just the most useful knots and their uses. My favorite ( most used) knot is the Farrimond hitch, and I'll be danged if I can remember it unless I practice right before I go out...LOL

We used this knot in the late 70s and early 80s for attaching leader to fly line ! Just add a small overhand knot to end of leader to serve as a stopper knot and strike indicator as well ! Plenty strong for bass , trout and panfish and very easy to change leaders !!

I'm hooked after one video. I want to learn all knots. And now I know what a bite is. (If it's spelled that way)

Ahh thanks for watching and saying that Pete!! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Technically it’s bight but pronounced the same!

As a Boy Scout leader for many years, I taught many useful knots, including this one, but I regret that I never reached the smooth presentation of this presenter. Now that I no longer use the knots, I still am enjoying learning new Bear Essentials night after night.

plz make this a short so we can loop it hands free and watch til we get it. thanks

One of the best video to show this great and simple knot.

This is the best tutorial I have seen on this knot

Great job 🤗

I tie this in the manner I tie a bowline as it's really the same knot just without a loop. So make a hole for the rabbit to come out of and then have the rabbit go around the tree and then back into the hole. It's basically this from the other side. Or if you can't visualize this, the tarp in his example is the rabbit, just flip everything over and tie it bowline style. If you have a fat rope and a thin one the fat one should be the rabbit. I find this useful for beginners to learn to tie these two knots the same way.

This is really great. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this great video and the links. I have been using this knot for years with a slight variation. I bend the cut end of the rope on the last step leaving a tail to pull for quick release, try it, it is awesome.

Hello thanks for the videos. I am using for new skill acquisition and brain stimulation! Fun to learn new stuff! I am a novice at outdoor skills. Can u tell me which rope to buy like the green and orange so I can practice more effectively. (And where to purchase-Amazon?) Thanks! M Baker

Why is this better than a reef knot?

@_MrOcean

Жыл бұрын

It's not better, but just another alternative I think. I'd always go reef knot as was drilled into me in the Navy

@TheBearEssentials

Жыл бұрын

Reef is technically not supposed to be used as a bend. By the book, it says you shouldn’t - though I use it all the time on non - life supporting applications

@michaelkulman7095

First the reef knot is easy to do wrong, especially under stress. It's only meant for identical ropes. It's harder to untie. It's not as strong. Technically it's for joining the same line to itself not joining two different lines. The square knot, the reef knot, was originally for reefing sails, tying the same line to itself usually with a slip release, quick release to easily unreef the sail.

The more ya know

How safe is this knot? Would you use it if your life depended on it?

I just tried it with a double wrap and it looks quite good. Still, I would use double fisherman in some climbing situations. Very nice knot for camping, though.

There's a mistake. The two short ends weren't on the same side when the tarp was used.
