Hey everyone, please keep watching and check out my most popular video next "8 Knots Everyone Should Know" kzread.info/dash/bejne/g22m19ijdafchMo.htmlsi=Z-fQDJxeXJMWNRl3 and if you're looking for a gift for the person who loves to learn about and tie knots, check out the 50 Knot Journal amzn.to/468zKJI a small book I created to help fund these videos. Thanks for watching 🙂

Granny knots never fail 😂😂

Very unusually clear but complete explanations. Thanks a lot.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching

I came here to be reminded of how to tie the woodland zip tie and the other stuff you explained was a real bonus. Lately I’ve been compiling how the knots I know build on each other to memorize them in sets the way you explained here. Helps a lot. Thank you!

Awesome, thank you!

2:42 I just did some tests and with the cord I'm using the basic knot has more friction than the one with the double twists (cat's paw). The extra twists actually reduce the knot's ability to tighten down on the loose ends to prevent them slipping. There is a variation that has a lot more friction but I doubt I can describe how to tie it. You create the two loops and then twist each one in a figure 8 , twisting one opposite to the other. This gives two double loops to pass the free ends through. 4 loops in total. The knot looks a little like a double ended tau-line hitch or blake's hitch or a double pipe hitch and nothing like the cat's paw. It is very resistant to loosening.

A nice knot. Thanks

I just use a quick-release square knot. This just looks like it does the same thing but with extra steps. Thanks for the video though.

Basically a clove hitch knot. They're quite useful!

Thank you for this video. Excellent presentation! Subscribed.

👍🏾🙏🏾 Always learning something with Your tutos, eventhought I already know the knot. Awesome. Thx very much Jason. Peace🎉❤

Superb knot. I used it to bind firewood

Love the explanation! New sub too! :)

Hey, Jason! Great video! I've been knotting for years and somehow have never come across this knot until today. Your presentation is excellent - I've subscribed after watching just this one video and am looking forward to more. I think this knot is going to be really useful. I've used the Canadian jam knot before on smaller cord and string and had the string break. I think this is a better solution. Thanks very much!

Regarding the cow hitch vs the girth hitch at 0:54 notice that if you flip the stick over so that the cow hitch is on the right and the girth hitch is on left then the girth hitch becomes the cow hitch and the cow hitch becomes the girth hitch. It's magic! THEY'RE THE SAME KNOT. It's just a matter of whether you're looking at them from below or above or vice versa.

@JasonsKnotChannel

Yes, that’s right. They are basically the same knot. The difference is the orientation and application

The title is a statement, not a question.

Just use a constrictor knot. Uses less rope. Holds better. Easy to untie if you move the riding turn off the overhand knot.

@davidhughes4785

Күн бұрын

Replacing girth hitch with constrictor knot might work as well or better. Tie constrictor knot in the bight (middle of rope without access to either end of rope) then pass both loose ends through constrictor knot in opposite directions like in video. When both loose ends are removed from constrictor knot, the constrictor knot, just like girth hitch, will disappear. Not sure if it will grip better than knot in video. And there are many people who don’t know how to tie constrictor knot in the bight (without access to either end) I think it would grip better, but I’ve not tested it. I’m guessing here.

This works great if your in need of a belt for your pants also you can join 2 rope together .Thank you its so simple too

You are or you're, not your. When spoken your and you're sound the same. When written your and you're have completely different meanings and usages. That which follows the written word your belong to the person you are writing to.

Im not understanding your explanation of the difference between a Cow vs Girth Hitch. It looks to me like one allows you to pull down & the other, you pull up to tighten it.

They look identical if the stick is turned around 180 degrees.

How is the girth knot different from a Lark's head?

The way the knot is tied for the application it’s being used , watch kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3lkw7KbhMuegpM.htmlsi=Vfl7p_Hv8An8iShW

Thanks for explaining how a cow hitch doesn’t pinch. Gravity changes a knot’s effectiveness. 😮

@JasonsKnotChannel

Other way, girth hitch doesn’t but cow hitch does

Thanks, but that's a bit too much for me. I do it way it's done in cable lacing, which is tied tens or hundreds of times in a working day of a professional who does this for a living. The cable lacing approach is my favorite knot, and I use it all the time and have been for decades.

Cable lacing isn’t designed to be done and undone as a rule. It is typically cut off when done. This is reusable.

@TesserId

@@Subdood04 Yes, those are true statements. Cable lacing specifications call for permanent and secure wire management, particularly for aircraft that we need to be dependable. Yes, the one in the vid is reusable but so is the variation of a cable lacing knot that I use on a regular basis. The difference is a matter of what it takes to make them secure and still reusable. For me, the one I use is easier to work with and can be cinched down much more tightly, though ultimately they are very similar in functionality.

wait a minute, if you rotate that cow hitch 1/8th of a turn you have the other...wtfudge...

although it it "zips" down the blanket, it looks like it would take much effort for it to come undone. Better off with a simple square knot....imho.

Be careful of “so how do you know each other” in an already awkward context. It is sometimes used in a passive aggressive manner and is easy to read that way, more like another way to say “why are you even here?” Something slightly more specific like “how did you two meet?” Might work better 😅

The cow hitch and girth hitch are the same knots just different names. Just backwards. And both would pinch just the same if pulled left or right on a cow's neck. Don't believe me. Then tie both hitches on your neck and you will see.

Actually they have different purposes hence the name. In equestrian, you should never use a cow hitch. Don’t believe me? Go take a few lessons

Shows 4 knots. I came for 1.

girth hitch, cow hitch??? What are you talking about, is this for real? First of all those are the same knot. Just because you flip something over doesn't change what it is. And it's called a larks head.
