I came into this with a strict eye, fully prepared to give you shit; but yeah I think you may be the first documented use of this. Good job. 3:55 my only gripe is calling the stage 1 portion a fail safe. I would debate that the bell ringer does not have a "fail safe," just a standard operation for removal, after all I don't call the tail ends of my shoe laces a fail safe because I have to tug on the part designed to be tugged on to untie the knot. Without what you call "fail safe 2" then there's no mechanical prevention of the designed function of the bell ringer so by that logic I debate that this knot only provides 1 fail safe, not two. I knew a guy who invented one of these, and it's incredibly similar to the knot we all use for tying your shoes, but the idea is you have a ballast on the tail, and when you shake the rope to free the load, that shock force causes the ballast weight to pull on the tail and collapse the knot. You just have to calculate for friction of load, but he had this magic ratio, worked flawlessly with a carabiner inserted to prevent the rope binding on itself; it was that chaotic blend of a knot that slips under load a little on purpose just enough to let itself go when you had it about 5 ft off the ground then shock dropped it another 4 feet. His was one of those knots though I could never get the hang of, but that man was a wizard. But we get in a lot of shit for using these on radio towers. So i ugh... hmm.. never ughh used one before ;p *edited for grammar

I just used this knot to hold my marriage back together.. thank you for inventing this knot you should win a Nobel prize

I've been practicing this lowering a dumbbell to the floor and it's working great, no accidental releases or refusals to shake loose yet! And I loved the LOTR reference because that's what I was thinking of too. However, as I recall it (from the book, not sure about the movie) Sam intended to sacrifice his rope to get them down the cliff, not to tie a retrievable knot, and was embarrassed when the rope came free. Later on, when Gollum comes back into the picture, it's implied that he untied the rope. So, I would like to call this the Gollum knot. Besides Gollum's role in the story, it would be a reminder to be very wary of trusting the knot when the stakes are high.

Gollum was in fact tracking Frodo and Sam at that point, but he found the touch of the elven rope to be excruciatingly painful, so it's very unlikely that he untied the rope. So Sam's idea that the rope magically returned to him when he needed it must be the explanation, and the most LOTR-accurate name would be the elven knot or the Galadriel knot.

If you have enough rope (at least double the drop) you can use a butterfly knot and a carabiner at the middle of the line. Put the rope around the thing to be lowered, then clip the 'biner to the the rope. One side of the rope will hold tension, the other will release the whole thing and pull through. Works similarly, but doesn't need the shaking. This does require a lot of rope though, so not too good for longer distances. Great knot! I'll add the bears' grip hitch to my repertoire.

@rupertrussell1

10 күн бұрын

But one thing to thing about using a butterfly knot and a carabiner is that the half of the line that you use to use to retrieve the carabiner can be a light weight cord and it does not have to be the other half of the 11 mm abseil line. So you can use almost the full length of your repel rope as long as you also carry the same length of a 2mm or 3mm cord. I have used that trick and it works well.

Great name and great knot.
