Knot tying, #knots #lifehacks
The following knots, hitches, and bends are in this video. I break them down into Anchor knots, Tension knots, mid-line knots, and binding knots.
You'll find the Zeppelin bend - or 69 knot, The Sheet bend and Double sheet bend, the Bowline, (Anti-Bowline or Eskimo knot), the Evenk Hitch (Siberian Hitch), Taut-Line Hitch (Magnus Hitch, Midshipman Hitch, and Rolling Hitch), Truckers Hitch ( Auto-Locking Truckers Hitch), The Prusik knot, Alpine Butterfly, Constrictor Hitch and Canadian Jam knot (Quick Release Jam Knot).
I tie all these knots with Paracord, and they are considered Survival knots, bushcraft knots and camping knots. I explain the use of a Bight, round turn, hitch, and bend.
Wether you want to learn how to tie down a tarp, how to set up a tent, what to do with a fray or cut in your rope, or how to join two ropes together - this is the guide for you!

    Excellent choice of knots. I would personally add to the list the double fisherman, its one of the best bend The clove is an important hitch to learn and help greatly to understand the constrictor, the tauntline, round turn and two half hitch knot, etc double figure 8 bend, double figure 8 loop are also important because they are easy to understand, to check and very safe knot.

    Also an Eagle. And adult Scouting leader. Can confirm. Bowline- surprisingly easy to learn if taught properly- and extremely useful in a variety of uses. One of the " 6 core Scouting knots" Square knot (aka Reef knot) - one of the " 6 core Scout knots". Surprisingly easy to tie wrong, but if taught correct, almost impossible to mess up. Errr... not actually a fantastic knot. "Good enough" for very simple applications, but subject to slipping, jamming and rolling under adverse tension conditions. Use when you expect no rope twist or off-center loading. Round Turn with 2 Half Hitches. Not strictly a " 6 core" knot. But I teach our Scouts this for a more secure anchoring knot. Better yet, though *slightly* trickier is an Anchor hitch. Alpine Butterfly - not " 6 core" knot, but simple, effective and easy way to get a loop or grip point in the middle of a line. Figure of Eight knot- - the " next step up:" knot alternative to the simple Overhand. Learn it and it's advantages. You may never tie an Overhand knot again. Can be used as a joining knot (similar to Square knot) but does not have Square knot disadvantages. Tied in the bight ( on a partial loop) it makes a handy grip or loop ( simpler than the Bowline, but not as rope-efficient.) One other bit of Pioneering craft I will toss out - - learn how to create and use a Spanish windlass. Consider it the woodsman winch. Had occassion to make and use myself. A few years ago, when I got a 1/4 ton riding mower stuck in a muddy yard and could not get access with vehicles. 30 yards of safety strap to reach the nearest tree, a 2 inch dia white oak pole 5 ft tall and a 1 inch dia hickory staff of 42 inch length - and 10 minutes later I manually powered that @#$% mower out of that mud-rut.

    One use I've found for the Alpine butterly is to make handles for bottles, or canteens or basically anything that has a neck that will stop it slipping off the end. After you do the over-under-over part and take it off your hand, you don't tighten it and there should be a circle of sorts for you to put the neck of the bottle etc in and then you tighten it down, leaving you with a pretty secure loop around your bottle that wont loosen by itself, all you have to do for extra safety/convinience of not having them in the way is tie off the remaining free ends of the rope. The auto locking truckers hitch is also my favourite for a line you need to tension but not adjust.

    Thank you! I’ve never got a highly loaded trucker hitch that didn’t bind up. The “turn the car on” hint seems to correct the mistake I was making. I’m still going to continue with the dolly knot for heavier ties but it’s nice to have that slightly simpler option for normal stuff. Btw if anyone wants to learn to tie knots I would highly recommend leaving a length of cord and a list of two or three knots beside some where you go every day (in my case the downstairs bathroom). Practice them every day and after a week or so you can almost build up a muscle memory of how to form the knot.

    Stage rigger here. We use three knots in total for all jobs: bowline (used the most), clove hitch (when hauling chains or pipes), and alpine butterfly (rope acces type stuff). For long pipes, we'll rock a timber hitch (clove hitch on one end, a loop around the pipe at the other). Also, I use an alpine butterfly instead of a slipknot on the trucker's hitch, way easier to untie the loop later on.

    Excellent video and I agree with all these knots being essential to learn. In particular I’m glad you showcased the Zeppelin Bend. That is hands down one of my favorite and most used knots. It’s extremely secure. I’ve found that it works well also for two different sized pieces of cordage. One correction is on your Sheet Bend, I was always taught that the tag ends should both come out on the same side. In your demonstration it looks like they came out on opposite sides. Learned a lot and excited to try the variation on that Canadian Jam Knot. Love your style of explaining and visually showing each knot! Thanks!

    I agree 100% with Larmclock about the great things we learned becoming Eagle Scouts. I stretched it out into 6 years and had the time of my life. In later years I began reading "The Bluejackets Manual" which is basically the textbook for navy sailors. They really get into the knots and also braids, lashings and splices. I watched sailors as they back-spliced HUGE ropes into eye spices and joining splices. Amazing stuff. Thanks for the great video...

    @@TheBearEssentials The one I teach (to competent knot users) the most often is the constrictor hitch, which you presented. My favorite that you didn't cover is a square knot but with an extra twist in the lower portion. It was called a "blood knot" in 1970's Australian Scout Field books, but that now that refers to a fishing knot. It eliminates the need for someone else to place their finger on the lower portion of the knot as you tie a suture or wrap a package. Figure-8 follow-through I use for climbing or anything where you (or someone else) need to inspect the knot easily.

    Check out the midshipman's hitch to replace the taut-line in your arsenal. It is slightly different in that the second wrap around the line comes inside closer to the hitch. The locks in place better at this point and I find it holds better as well when you finish the knot (it finishes exactly the same as the taut line btw).
