I've been an avid user of cable ties for 15 years in my diving. Looks like it's time for a chance. Excellent concise vid. Keep up the good work.

Just found this one. Used tackling extensively while commercial fishing back in the 1980’s. Thanks for expanding my thoughts on this, especially in terms of mouthpiece retention. I’ll use my braided fishing line for sure, and see how it works to keep my necklace and mouthpiece in place!

Very good ideas you have. I've throwed a lot of zip strapes to garbage. Thanks for those videos!

Great videos! I’m learning a lot. Grateful for your generosity to share your skills and insights.

Always learning. I've lost gear, adopted your practice, thank you, Ontario, Canada

As always GREAT TIPS! I'm using a lot of them and learning a lot of others. Love your details can implement them easily! You are a wealth of diving knowkedge! Thank you.

This is really great! I’ve been watching a few of your videos, I wished we lived closer together so I could bug you to dive with me lol. Thank you for showing this.

Great idea, I now use this on a double ender as my tag on a drifting deco station to identify me. Very neat.

Always good suggestions from you. Thanks Achim.

Thanks this saved a dive for me while diving in Jordan

your pirate t-shirt looks like Lemmy from Motorhead 🤘🏼

Thanks for sharing i use this node all the time ...

Nice video channel and nice t shirt! ;) Thank you for the tips!

Another great video :)

nice shirt bro! and nice tricks too!

Very cool and thank you.

Best T-shirt EVER.

Good idea. thank you.

“How to burn a rebreather” 😆 I hate tie straps. They’ve made so much trouble for me in my aviation career from chewing through hydraulic lines and wires to sticking the $h!t out of me when the last guy didn’t trim the tail off flush. I don’t want em in my gear. Got any more detailed info on the fishing line method?

I use this on all second stage mouthpieces. I observed that after first dip in a little warm water the tie gets even stronger.

Thanks for the video, I used your videos to tie all my bolt snaps to my torches, camera and marked my SMB snap. What would you recommend people do to mark other kit like SMBs, masks, wetsuits etc? I know you should be able to look and tell if it's yours but you never know...

Just wondering if a constrictor knot would be a better option on the mouth piece, could be slightly easier to tie

Speargun rubber clench knot works for mouth piece as well.

Hey, eine zwei Fragen zur Angelschnur, geflochtene ? Und welche Stärke am besten ? Super video vielen Dank für die Tips.

I am an older guy , new to diving. Really interesting video's. What thickness is this ? Is it dacron or nylon ?

Thanks for your videos - very informative. Btw, could you use fishing line instead of string for these tackels and to tie boltsnaps (since that can also be easily cut if needed and also has good load bearing security)? Or is that a stupid idea?

Hi, well of course you can but fishing line is a bit "stubborn" and pretty slippery compared to caveline and that is why I would not use it for any application where you need to be able to grap it. For simple marking purpose you could use it of course.

Nice video, thanks. So the yellow line around the double-ended is just marking?

Hi Claude, yes in the first place it is a marking (and a nice object to show the knot :-) In fact it also enhanced he grip on the snap a bit but that I figured by unsing it myself and it was not the primary intention

Thanks, last time I saw this in another video, 'D rings and Boltsnaps'. I thought that is for skid-proof. I see.

Súper 🍀

Lemmy!

check out any youtube vid on basic seamanship & knots - this is called "whipping"....

👍

Achim, What type of fishing line do you use on mouthpiece? Mono or braided? Line diameter/Average breaking strain? Thanks for the well reasoned, (and presented), information in your videos! Every one else: Please subscribe to InnerSpace Explorers, to support Achim!

constrictor knot - self tightening knot ; named by snake ;-)

BTW, this is known as a "Common Whipping Knot",

it is call simple whipping not tackeling

Why not just carry spare cable ties?

Lemmy!
