Yall get too creative with ropes you kinky mofos xD
Great vids, foraging pouch brand?
Bear Essentials! I make them myself :)
Great move (to get back in the canoe) ! Once, like you in a lake by the beach, I did practice my recovery technique... Eventually, after numerous attempts without success I decided to bring the canoe at the shoreline !! My excuse: my canoe was made of aluminium, thus the floating line was to high, thus I was never able to push/pull myself high enough to grab the inside bars and bring my body inside. Final comment: always have a rope attached to the canoe this way you can always grab it an pull the canoe as you are swimming. By the way, people, who were relaxing on the beach, were watching me trying and trying... they thanks me for the lesson. So, I thank you for the lesson. Next summer I will try your approach with a fibreglass canoe.
lol at bailing water with the pouch. Here let me help with this dixie cup too.
As a side sleeper hammocks have never bothered me. I still love sleeping in them.
No one wants any one to mess with thier booty
I’m a frayed knot
Nice! Man if your channel didn't have bear in the name I'd totally call it the gorilla grip hitch for the memes. 😂
Serious question, would a tourniquet be a good use-case for a knot like this? Say there is severe bleeding on someone's arm.
Jesus… its called a Square knot
I will definitely know of someone was in my booty
This video was made by mature adults.
I know absolutely nothing about knots. This video came up in my feed and not only is your presentation style extremely watchable, but your ingenuity and passion is infectious. Congratulations. Fantastic work.
Wow, Bruce thank you so much my friend. That’s very nice of you to write! I can’t reply to everyone’s comments on here but I try to do a couple per day. This one gave me a big smile, grateful it popped up for me. Thank you!
"This is not a not"
Very cool but the dramatic orchestral music while you are explaining a knot is extremely distracting. Please consider de-hollywooding the next tutorial so it’s easier to focus. Cool knot, interested in giving it a try.
Sweet, yeah I mean, each person has their own preference for sure! Next one (tomorrow) has some nice relaxing music, you better watch it 🤣
@@TheBearEssentials I will! The music had better put me to sleep. 😅
@@benjamindbailey If your not dreaming of a bear essentials video by the end of it then my work is a complete failure 😆
I've climbed so many times before but just a rope tied to my belt loop (ignorance, I tried with what I knew at the time 🥴) but I see the multiple disclaimers to not use this to knot repel but if you needed to move around with it could the following be possible- Wrapping a rope around ones waist with another to a carabineer which is connected to the Bears knot allowing one to be free to move around if need be & the rope still be kept taut right? I dunno, I'm still learning
Imma just use real elvish rope
Awesome
Your knot caught my attention so much that I'm going to study some types of knots for a project, if I make progress I'll let you know!
Great job man! Excellent improvement!
This is so cool. Practiced it a few times and then taught a guy I work with how to. Very cool!
So, how much load can that hook handle?
Uhh. It's called thief knot bc it slips, and can come undone just by tugging. If it's named for both of these.... That's surprising.
Cool not $12 back pack $50 Drop that load with a jerk, PRICELESS😊
A new knot, I never thought it possible.
you now no longer need to jump off a chair to get the outcome you are looking for as it does that for you.
Came… for the comments. Was not disappointed.
Seriously cool! Thanks for sharing it with the world
Thank you for sharing this. I'll try next time I need one of these.
Its funny that I invented that same knot every time I take out an extension cord or Christmas Lights! LOL
Cavemen must have invented many of the knots to kill time.
Surely he's not the first one to think of this. Surely?
thats why he said first documented 🤯🤯🤯
If you're knot jerking around, you're missing out friend!
What hatchet are you carrying ?
👉 Knot theory...
I don't know anything about ropes but isn't the safest and simplest version just a rope shaped like a U where you hold onto both ends? Just let go of one end and pull the rope.
Ya! You’re right, but that only will work when your rope is 2x the length of the drop. If it’s even a bit shorter than that, you can’t use the U method
@@TheBearEssentials That trade-of is present in all your methods except the degree is different. (haha Sorry I'm a software developer and I argue with people about technicalities like this daily 😄)
This is absolutely a genius knot
Hey DJ, I'm a fellow knot nut. Great video! I'd like to add that you can slip the constrictor knot as well so that you don't have to cut it to remove it. In my experience, this doesn't compromise the knot's security.
This is awesome. Can't wait to try it at work
I wonder if you could make a kamikaze knot version from 1 rope, but with the knot in the middle of the rope, and both ends going downward, one very secure to bear the weight being dropped, and the other remaining slack until you get to the bottom and give it a tug to release the whole thing. (whether the middle actually drops straight down or whether the rope needs to be "pullied" around whatever it was tied to at that point with one of the ends going back up before it's fully retrieved - shouldn't matter thaaaat much). I feel like this would be the idea solution for repelling. (still wouldn't use recreationally, but in a survival situation at least - so long as you don't need the extra length or have a longer rope... heck two ropes could even be tied together securely to make one retrievable rope like this). The main benefit just being that the releasing action no longer involves the same rope that the weight is being lowered on, so as you repelled (which naturally can jerk the rope easily) you're no longer risking unknotting it. So long as the slack rope remains slack it's all good. I know there's a knot out there that's kinda the opposite of this, using 2-ish ropes to lower an open "claw-esq" thing down (a loop and a thing to hitch it with). It's a knot that I've seen used as a demo for something like retrieving keys from a storm drain, where you lower it in and get it in position with one thicker rope, then "close" it around the object to be lifted with a second rope. So what I'm suggesting here is kiiiinda the opposite of that - though I imagine the actual knot itself would look very different.
Yes you absolutely can, there are many like this. However this requires a rope that is 2x the length of the drop. These kamikaze knots are for when you don’t have that
@@TheBearEssentials That makes more sense, thanks for the answer! :)
This cant be used for repelling down hills because it needs a lot of slack to get loose, so its almost impossible to shake the line enough
Roll them lemons before you cut em. It's not just for the juice. The pulp loosens from the shell. It's delicious. Just eat it or throw it in a salad. And even if you press out the juice, eat the remaining pulp.
Casually doing complex topology for fun. No big deal.
Free speech doesn't end if you don't like it.
Who gives a shit
Man, during scout camps I remember using this frequently when making tents, constructing towers, medic, so useful!
Oh no! Someone was in my booty! How do you know? It hurts and is bleeding a little.
RIIIIGHT… I’ll keep track of how it’s tied, instead of know how much of what’s inside, or even keeping it secure on my person 🤦🏻♀️
If you can't feel someone in your booty then your o ring might be blown out 😂
My baitcaster is full of em!
