I just took the arborist exam and my knots were the area I scored lowest in... I wish I saw this video BEFORE I took my exam!!! Thank you for doing this!
Nick, you guys are doing a phenomenal job with these videos. Production quality is top notch, the visual aids are perfect, and your explanation is concise and to the point. Very well spoken sir.
Even the way I tie my running bowline. I don't have to pull the entire rope through. But I do like that way and look forward on tieing it that way tomorrow in the field. I was always aware of that method. Just always stuck with what I knew. But shaving seconds is shaving hours.
Nice video Nick. When doing the bowline you looked a bit like a magician as it wasn't real easy to see the way you tied it how you liked to tie it. I like that way too as I believe most who know it do. Have a great week.
@@NickBonner welcome. You do it better than I do, that's why I don't have any videos doing it 😃. Maybe if you don't again a camera angle from above your hands would help. Regardless the video is a great resource for many and I will recommend it to others just learning. Have a great day.
@@brettblack7049 I agree, I'm a newbie here and trying to understand the knot from the front view get's a little confusing. I think an overhead shot would improve the visibility. Thanks Nick for putting out this knowledge for new jack's like me. ~ Peace~
@@ahadmuhammad687 Good afternoon(at least here in Mi, not sure where you are). Here's a link to a video that shows it a bit better; th-cam.com/video/NGBqixdubyU/w-d-xo.html He also has many other helpful videos. Are you learning to climb, working on a crew, or what are you using the knots for. Brett
@@brettblack7049 thanks for that info. Actually I’m in MI also, just starting out at the tree climbing academy. Trying to get my brain around learning these basic knots.
I'm sorry but tbh I had a hard time understanding your explanations. I would recommend repetition and having a closer angle on the knots. I found it a bit confusing as a beginner
I love the educational videos so much so that I deal with the bs the site puts me through to order from them doesn't hurt they have the largest selection and 9/10 X's what I want is in stock but ever since the merger the purchasing experience is 🚮
Hey Nick. You made a common mistake on the yosemite tie off. Following the line back around and going up your tail goes on the left side of your up rope. See Educated Climber yosemite tie off revisited for the possible problems with the common mistake you made.
Don't understand the rationale of adding security to the bowline when it is already extremely secure. It's an unnecessary overkill in my humble opinion.
1:45 For... the love of god... stop using the bowline in life support situations. By definition, any knot that you are having to make more secure by adding some sort of "finish" to is an *insecure* knot!
This will definitely be useful for me because we have a recent project for wood tree swings and we need a strong foundation of rope. We will soon purchase the materials from treeswingstore.com and will apply your techniques here.

No one at work would teach me this
These videos help a lot!!
Thank you
That's probably the easiest explanation of the basic knots I've seen, well done.
Thank you!
3 and a half minutes in and im off to climb a tree. Best tutorial ever😂

Where do you take that exam
Nick, excellent demonstration of the bowline, alpine butterfly, Blake's Hitch, & girth hitch.
Thanks!

I loved your different view on tying some of the knots… idk why I’ve always had a hard time with them. Thanks.
Ive always had to teach knots tied 2 diff ways alot of people can't get one way but a pro the other way
Fantastic teaching here , SUBBED .
Awesome, thank you!
I love making a running bowline without pulling the whole line through. So much easier. You've explained it perfectly!

Thank you so much for making this video. Very easy to follow and so helpful!

Thank you! Its always tough to show tying knots well.

Great video with very helpful and timely graphics! Superbly done sir!
Thats awesome. Real helpfutl thanks
Gracias por la información bro Dios te bendiga saludos desde San Pedro el alto edomex México eres mi exelente persona
Nick, looks like you brought your Yosemite finish up on the right of your standing line and I believe it should always end up on the left
Ive always tied it the way I showed.
I appreciate it (thumbs up )
Thank you too!
Best video I seen yet
Absolutely superb
No entiendo nada de Inglés.. Pero solo ver la demostarción es seguro el prendizaje. Muchas gracias.
Running bowline is extremely handy. I used it for a slackline setup. Are there other knots like the bowline knot?
Monkey fist and Blake’s hitch 🙌
Thank you.
Came here from the EducatedClimber channel.

Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.
BS'D
couldn't miss the Smoke Jumper cap. I'm ex military paratrooper, were you a Smoke Jumper?
I was not, it was a gift from jumper who watches our videos. Very dear to me!
Cheers Mate.
Nice.😆 😆.💪 Cheers.👍
Thanks
No problem
Thanks for teaching, I was wrong on cow hitch
Is cowhitch with a double fisherknot + aluminium ring allowed to hold a person?
I'm sorry but tbh I had a hard time understanding your explanations. I would recommend repetition and having a closer angle on the knots. I found it a bit confusing as a beginner
Yip big long er travel tho on the blakes. Like it cheers
What’s the name of that first 1/2”rope? It looks really nice.
Forgive my ignorance guys. Can someone please tell me what that chrome piece is at the end is that he cowhitched? Thanks
When boy scouts were still boy scouts they taught this type of invaluable information to the youth
I learned knots from a summer camp!
Amigo como pedir el equipo para trabajar y en cuanto cuesta
ขอบคุณok
He did even do the figure 8

1:19 Yosemite finish
What rope is that? I’ve got a 30’ section from a bag of rope.
Notch Banshee
PLEEEEASE post I’m Spanish for my friends 😭
First knot I learned as a kid: sheep-shank.
do you whip your camera man ?
only if he smarts off.

TH-cam’s dislike button is a wack clown
Knots i don't need to know. I can teach anyone how to climb in minutes
🇵🇬🇵🇬,,,,

Good video except tying knots in 1 second is not helpful at all

camera to far, and you are moving to fast
Terrible you move to fast
Sorry about that.

NOT WORTH A F
what about a G?
Terrible
This video was great and all but you can’t even say bowline properly
