Rope only Descent or Rappel The Easy Way
How to rappel or descend a steep slope in slippery conditions using just a rope. Note that this video is for entertainment and education but if you attempt it, it's at your own risk. I recommend using a harness and a rated rope for rappelling. Here I am on slippery declining ground that requires the aid of a rope for stability. It isn't supporting my entire weight. On steeper declines that would require the rope to support you, the technique can be quite painful on your shoulder and leg. Please practice in a safe, controlled environment.

Will the Directional or Midline Figure 8 Bind Up under load in a Truckers Hitch?
มุมมอง 1.5K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was asked by several viewers after my last video, where I suggested ti Figure 8 was better for a truckers hitch than an Alpine Butterfly, if it was as easy to untie. Well here is the answer to that.
Midline Figure 8, Is it Better Than an Alpine Butterfly for a Truckers Hitch?
มุมมอง 4.3K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Bowline is often used to make a Truckers Hitch to secure a load or make a ridgeline. Here is why I think the Midline Fig 8 is better and how to tie it.

Exactly. Stealth campers need to be a be to break camp fast.
Good tip. Cheers
Really, thank you!!
Cheers. Glad you liked it
John it's quick it's easy to remember and it 's engineered logically plus it's aesthetically and visually appealing as well. I doubt that I will ever need an Alpine butterfly again... way to go mate! Thanks for putting a NEW twist on an old favorite...and proving it is just as functional.
Cheers mate, glad you liked it.

Thanks for the input and knowledge. I'll be using these when setting up my tent and hammocks
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it.
Cheers cobbar
No worries, cheers mate.
As always the best knot instructional videos on TH-cam 💪🏼
Cheers mate.
No one of these are useful. The know I learned you could it’s from anywhere on the line! This playing around at the end of the line is just asking to drown!
I have another video on that. Cheers. th-cam.com/users/shortsJrvloYskYeA?si=I3m_Z43azzyim_nj
Thanks! I would like some more specific explanation on the second method
Sure. I'll see what I can do for you.
About that knot that is impossible to get out and ruins the rope (the “…heaven forbid…” loop making knot), well, when you’ve seen those around they were mine. But only up to about age 70! so see, old dog still run. Now I gotta larn your fancy way cuz done fast that trick’ll draw the ladies like a bear to honey; meanin no disrespect doncha know..
You do you mate. Whatever works.
I've watched this video 15 times and still can't get it down.
Which part are you having trouble with? I'll do another video showing it in a first person view.
Thanks John, count the next beer on me.
Wow, thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Hi John, thanks for sharing all your experiences. Perfect upgrade to what you can find. Very good videos with any bla bla, much appreciated! Serious teacher. Thanks for using a big row to demonstrate. At the end of the video you spent a smile if you like to. 😊
Cheers mate, glad you liked it. I'm starting to relax a bit more in front of the camera. I'll add in a smile now and again lol. Thanks again for the tip.
Please give an example of stacking the truckers hitch thanks
Here is a quick example. Probably 5x mechanical advantage not 9 as I originally thought. th-cam.com/users/shortsd5l0OME93oM?si=ejl-y7759VQ4TwPp
I like your type of truckers hitch. Very efficient and easy. Thenks
Cheers mate. I have a few videos on it now including how to beef it up.
That’s exactly what I use for my paracord necklaces and btw thank you 🙏🏼 for the excellent content. I heard about your channel from Dave Canterbury and you’re fantastic 💪🏼
Cheers mate, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching.
Thank you Australia! Be careful to the giant DinoSpider behind you
@@GooogleGoglee haha. We eat them for breakfast lol
John you're the BEST! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom for free!
Cheers mate. I appreciate it.
❤😂🎉 Loved the 3 finger method, never knew it could be so easy!!! Thank you😊
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it. Works on bed sheets too.
Just found the channel and binge watched all the videos. Sub'd, thanks for great content
Cheers mate, I appreciate it. Welcome aboard.
I would be lost anyway 😢
Navigation can be tricky. I'll post more content on the subject soon.
I did I learned the last one you taught. I have used that in a different method but same.... Now I know how to make it work!
Glad I could help, cheers
Hey man great idea, but that is actually a French bowline.
Cheers mate. I always get them mixed up
That was so slick!!😊
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it
This video has really helped me in my daily tasks! Thank you so very much sir!
Awesome. Glad I could help.
Forever unforgiving of people who think a simple overhand knot solves everything. Come on people - even a figure of 8 is surely better than nothing? Imho, knotwork should be taught in elementary school. I've yet to meet even the smallest child who wasn't fascinated. Not a month since a wee girl in the cafe of a local supermarket, having lost the tag on the zip of her coat, and watching me make a simple 1 inch sennit, clearly thought I was some kind of magician. Haven't seen her since, but I'm still carrying a tiny book on knots in case I do.
It has become a dying art for sure.
Great knot
Cheers
Best truckers hinch i have ever seen
Cheers. Glad you liked it
And am I the only one who thinks this knot looks a little... insecure? Loose? Weird. Is it just the poly cordage or what?
It's only a temporary measure. I'll make a longer video on a more secure rig
Why is every other video I've seen on the Spanish Bowline SO MUCH more complicated??
I believe in the KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid
I think this is actually another bowline variation
@@Western_Hemlock it could be French bowline. I always get them mixed up lol
Well done combining the first American method to teach the last very efficient way. I’ll study that. Thanks for your efforts, orange shirt’n all.
Cheers mate. Glad you liked it.
Nice to hear from a guy who clearly ties cord and rope in real life.
Cheers mate. I didn't know the name of most knots I use lol. Still learning lots.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia My dad worked in shipbuilding - ended up operating a gigantic crane. Taught me every knot and splice. But, approaching 60, I suffered an 'episode' that our family doctor diagnosed as an ear infection. Took 2 years to establish I'd had a minor (and totally untreated) stroke. One of the things that went right out the window was my knotwork. All gone. But, now 80, books and YT channels like yours have reintroduced me to the subject. Just finished a rope footmat for my front door. Half a century ago I wouldn't have thought twice about it. So why am I so proud of this one?
nice
Cheers
This is crazy! I dont event understand how this works, but it does. I just tried it, and it's incredible. I've been using a trucker hitch for so long and have never seen this somehow.
Cheers, glad you liked it.
I heard about this one from Bear Essentials who said he learned it from someone in Australia ( maybe you?). Thanks for sharing this. It worries me that the loop will come undone under high tension. The double twist seems better. I would love to see a video showing more reliability. For camping it seems plenty secure.
Cheers mate, yeah DJ gave me a mention in his video which was cool. The knot is stable so long as the loop doesn't fall below the knot. For plastic rope, I definitely use the double twist.
Neat trick and cute pup. How does your other dog feel about the new puppy?
She is old and just wants to be left alone but she has been very patient. She's a good old girl.
Woww thank for short
Cheers. Glad you liked it.
This is just what I needed for using prussik’s on a roycraft pack frame that kept coming loose…thanks for posting!
Awsome. Glad I could help.
A quilter's knot is like the barrel knot, except you can predetermine where the knot lays on the line and the whole chord/line/string/yarn passes through the barrel, and more than a couple turns usually are employed.
I'll check it out, cheers
Beautiful knot! Way more beautiful pup!
She's a beauty alright. Cheers
Another great video - cheers John!
Cheers mate.
That's a great knot!!!!
Cheers mate. Lots of useful applications.
Cool dog, what breed is it?
Looks like a red Krakakachen, they are great LGDs
She's a Boarder Collie cross Australian Shepherd. Both smart and agile working dogs
Best knot man on YT. Cute pup as well!
Cheers mate, I appreciate it. She's a cutie alright.
The pup is a cracker and looks to have a great nature. What breed is he?
Great Video! Greetings From South Carolina.
