This knot works well if you don’t want your rope bunching up when you’re trying to release it. I used it to lower boxes, a vacuum, and some shelving from the stairs of my house. If you stay until the end, there is some bonus footage. I think you would like how I lowered camping gear. - Jak na to + styl
I don't know if you heard about the floods that are happening right now in southern Brazil. But thanks to what I've learned here in your channel, I was able to help in the rescue points by setting up tarps and other stuff with ropes and knots. Never thought this would be so valuable. Thank you very much.
Be safe brother!
This comment has made all my efforts worth it. I’m so glad it was useful. Thank you so much for sharing.
If only Clifford Ashley had lived to see all the inventive work you've contributed - He'd have needed a second volume!
Idk why I've never thought of a knot in terms of a pivot or fulcrum point at the center of a knot, but that shit has opened my eyes to many reasons why my Queen Mary Knots tend to slip.
Fantastic vid and great explanations here!! 🫡
Nice to see you here.
@@Lilac757FCA has always been a big inspiration to me. I’ve learned a lot from him. A true legend 🫡
I love that you understand _and share_ the details of knot and rope function, i.e. the why, not just the how. I still have a long way to go to calling myself a skilled knotsman, but you've greatly deepened my understanding of knots in a relatively short time with this channel.
ABOK #1995 the awning knot. Ashley gives this as a temporary loop for use in staking off or for temporarily holding an awning.
Here it's being used in place of the single hitch of the bellringer's knot (ABOK #172).
You might also consider the double bellringer's (#173) where the standing part makes two single hitches, also known as a clove hitch, around the bight. To ensure this releases cleanly the two hitches should be spread apart and the ends kept short.
The bonus knot is the crossing knot (ABOK #206/#365/Ch.15) which we knew in climbing as the Italian or "munter" hitch, used for controlling the rate of paying out a rope in the same manner as a belay device.
Adding another bight of the standing end wrapping in the opposite direction to the first doubles it's holding power (the "super munter") though it may necessitate starting the other way up in order to lead as required.
Thank you for the ABoK references and added knot tips. 🙂🪢
This is top-notch material because it explains *why* the knots are made the way that they are, from start to finish. I wish there was a solid reference like this for every knot.
Great video, especially getting to see your thought process as you design these knots.
Watching these is like what I experienced watching Mumbo stumble through redstone logic. It's the same energy. I love this. Still feels like magic to me even though I know real physics are in play.
Genius, knot wizardry
Your dedication is obvious and much appreciated. Thanks for continuing to develope new ways of putting roope to work for all of us.
That was Awesome! You are indeed gifted when it comes to spatial reasoning with rope.
I'm an arborist and often find myself needing to lower a piece of gear or a saw or waterbottle from the canopy. I've always tied it on to my climbing line then sent it down for someone on the ground to untie, but that can sometimes backfire if the chipper is going and I can't communicate with my team or if I'm tucked away in a corner on the jobsite, it could be minutes waiting for someone. A releasable single strand knot would save me from a lot of headaches!
I'll have to play around with this technique. It has to be single strand because I can't have any standing knots in my tail, they could get caught in branches and impede my movement. Thanks for the interesting content, really appreciate the level of detail and showing the process of "building" the knot.
I loved the way you explain how to reason and come with a solution
The Bear Essentials has a video on a good stable, but release-able knot on his channel. You take an ignition twist in the standing end before your anchor point, then form a bight and place it through that twist, and hook that bight onto a figure 8 knot farther up from your ignition twist. The figure 8 should be tied so that it has an acute angle facing away from your auto release.
This is a dual-action release that needs two things to let go before you lose your connection, so it's safer for heavy/inconvenient/valuable items, but can still be shaken loose if there's slack and you're willing to shake twice. You can also lock this knot by taking the loop of the figure 8 and placing the standing end through it, and clipping a carabiner or something to lock in that other line.
Excellent demonstration on the various versions of a single-strand quick-release knot with tips on construction and usage.
Your thoughtful input on cord dynamics during the knot tying/design helped in understanding the knot's functional outcomes better.
Kudos! 👏🙂🪢
The way I usually do this is tie a giant alpine butterfly loop with a short tail. Then in the tail tie an anchor hitch but with the second half hitch through the middle instead making a nice easy big stopper (probably has a different name but I don’t know it). Pass the big loop around and loop it over the stopper, releases and pulls under really easy, but can use a LOT of line if you’re lowering larger things
It is thanks to people like you that share your valuable knowledge with the rest of us. I appreciate it and hopefully I will be able to help someone else with what I have learned.
This reminds me of the slipped loop knot from your plywood sheets video.
nice i like this im going to try some of this on the blackwall carabiner
Tremendous! Bravo! 👏
Awesome‼️
Genius!! As usual!! 🥰
I like your videos . I'm interested in the hitch you have with the vice and cleat. Could you show details?
Masterclass. Thank you!
Can you please make a system for something I do several times a week? I take my dog to the park and string a 100ft rope in between to trees and clip his harness to a leash and the leash to the rope so he can run back and forth. I’m hoping you can come up with a way that his leash stops 10ft from each tree so he can’t make it to the end and then wrap around the tree several times and get stuck. Also, I’m hoping the system doesn’t involve massive tension from a polo tackle or truckers hitch using the main line wrapped around the tree and grind the main line over the bark. Thank you so much.
"Honey, could you please clear the junk out of the attic?" "sure" … a weekend and many experimental knots later …"Honey, are you recording yourself emptying the attic?!"
2:56 -- Might have better luck if rope pulls out from the heavy side.
Geniales❤❤❤
Amazing!
Love your videos. Idea I've often thought of, but never come up with a good solution.
I've often needed to pull a motorcycle to get to service. Two issues.
1. Don't want to have it hard tied in case the bike loses control and wants to disconnect before the driver can get stopped.
2. Central pull from the forks. My dad always just took a wrap around one fork, or the handle bars, and then held rope in one hand on the bars, so without intentional hold it would pull free, but that creates a lot of torque on the forks.
Any simple way with just a rope to get center line pull, but can release while hands still on the handlebars?
big fan of your channel ... started learning knots this year ... they can be so useful. I have an electric bike that i load up in my pickup, it's not so bad if the front wheel doesn't move too much. I want to rig up a little rope system that will keep the front wheel from twisting as I'm loading it up. I came up with a solution that uses the venus flytrap to wrap around the handle bars and those feed down to a knot that centers the rope on the bike seat, from there I wrap around the rear rack with a toggle for tension. It works pretty well but wanted something even easier that the venus flytrap. Any ideas?
how would you do this with a rubble sack ( like a black bin liner bag ) so it auto releases? I use a girth hitch just around the gathered bag and it is reliable in that it doesn't slip out even with the heaviest of bags but its not auto releasing. Thanks

I've just got your blackwall paracord gidet on a hank or paracord I carry that and also my piranha while working in my cargo pocket. Also have the paramax one in my truck.. Do you make a paramax piranha? I use a truckers hitch, but those piranha are awesome.
You could try the Piranha XL or the Snapper

👍👍
For the algorithm.

🇵🇬🇵🇬,
This reminds me of a recent video I saw: czcams.com/video/67V5aS9XpdE/video.htmlsi=F8u3rP8MGVUB4L1q
Definitely more complicated but it worked too
This guy is claiming in a short that he invented it AND his video is the first documented example of this knot.
Too fast
