Thank you for sharing that fact, acually really helped me decide which knott to use for combining multiple ropes for my kids tire swing. I guess your comment sorta depends on how much you value life...lol, jk, I'm sure a lot, obviously living it up too :)

After tying a square knot on my bracelet and it just suddenly untying itself, it was time to learn a new knot! This one is elegantly simple and incredible strong! Thanks for the simple and effective lesson on it!

Short, on point, well filmed - Thank you!

The algorithm got it right today. I have always had an interest in knots. I find this video far more helpful than the diagrams and written instructions I’ve read in books. Thank you.

I just learned this knot using paracord. I made a few bracelets and used this knot on the ends to create a slide closure type for the bracelet. They also explained how one side would have an 'X' and the other side would have an '=' equal sign. Easy to tie. I don't care using it for paracord bracelets tho. They are hard to tighten with one hand.

Double fisherman's knot... Probably it is the knot I have been using the most... Thanks for the video!

Thank you for including the different use cases between this and the zeppelin bend!

Right on, ya for sure. I love em both. I’ll make a longer form on the zep soon I think

Sat down last night and made a single line out of a bunch of scraps I had just for practice, and discovered this knot also makes for a handy light-load tensioning knot too. Especially after it has held a load on it and is nice and tight. Strong enough to support a blanket roof on a PVC fort at least!

Practical, I'll try this knot next time going camping 😍🔥👌🍻💯

I saw an older video of the Beckett and Sheet bend is one used more often for ropes with two different diameters. The fisherman’s is used more readily for ropes of equal diameter. If you wanted to go overboard one could tie two half hitches on each end as “safety knots.”

I've always liked the figure eight bend with the ends terminated in double overhand knots. I mean I don't know if it reduces rope strength more than the double fisherman's bend.

Does the cross and parallel pattern not aligning side by side cause it to be weaker?

That called a uni knot when you use it for fishing.

I thought the zepplin knot was the most secure?

@steamer2k319

6 ай бұрын

Apparently the zeppelin knot is slightly less secure but oftentimes accepted since it's easier to untie after heavy loading. This is addressed in the video. I learned the reaver knot a while back after seeing it win in a panel of stress tests (from HowNot2, IIRC). There are two points (also raised in this video), though, that the double fisherman's bend might still have going for it: * It's got some shock-absorbtion capability. The stress test I saw gradually increased the load via a winch so I'm not sure how dynamic the reaver would be. * It's easy to verify via the double-x, double-slash method shown. I'm not aware of common mis-configurations of the reaver but that doesn't mean they couldn't exist. I'm not sure how difficult the reaver would be to untie after loading.

@steamer2k319

6 ай бұрын

Did a little testing... The reaver has a distinctive look that should be pretty easy to verify. It's definitely much easier to untie. I think the reaver ended up better under static loads because it has the same gentle curve around two 'cores' but doesn't pinch as hard as the double fisherman's. The double fisherman's is probably better under shock load, though, because that same pinching can channel some of the initial onset of kinetic energy into friction / heat so there ends up being less available to convert into force/tension. Also, I forgot to mention earlier that the double fisherman's works well with slightly different diameter cordage. I'm not sure how the reaver handles that.

Wow you actually think that is a good idea

It's called a love knot.

This knot is also awesome for adjustable cord necklaces!💛🤍💜🖤
