The Sheetbend/Double Sheetbend is good for general purpose, camping, bushcraft, etc. However, it is a weak bend, the rope tends to break within the bend itself, when around 60-70% maximum breaking strength of the rope. As an alternative, with respect to the title, there is the Reever Bend, which is both strong and compact, regardless where the sides end. It can be viewed as the fusion/completion of the sheetbend structure. Downside, it will jam and will be tough to untie after heavy load.
Very nice presentation. The first knot is not a blood knot. A blood knot wraps from the middle outward then feeds the working end over the top of all the wraps and then through the middle.
That was a great refresher bud. I had forgotten most of these as I just rarely use them anymore. I have used the sheet for pulling in steel wire rope on a cable yarder in logging. Very simple and strong. Thanks again for the refresher my friend. It is always nice to see you post.
Yes. It is one of two recommended knots for connecting 2 climbing ropes. If you want to do a ropeswing and need to connect 2 ropes, this is the one. Triple is a bit overkill but if it gives you a more secure feeling go for it.
I have a parachute, I use this as a shelter for forest school, unfortunately we've had some mindless vandalism last night and someone has cut some of our paracord lines off, I don't have time to restitch so looking for a knot that can tie the two ends back together
Im definetely not puting in doubt these knots, I just want to ask if there are break tests of those knots? Would be cool to have same rope models, tested in different bend knots to have some numbers to start to compare. Thanks for the video
A lot of them have to do with dynamic strength (shock loading). Things like the double fisherman's knot does well with shock loading because of the coils. Also some knots work better with monofilament line like fishing line.
Good looking videos and nice names of knots but what most vidoes, including these, don't show is where exactly these are used in real life situations and what is the advantage of one over the other.
A few of my knot videos show knots in action (when I feel like it's visually helpful to see in action), but for most of the I don't see a huge point in showing them. I do see why you might want to see them in action, and it's something i'll keep in mind in the upcoming videos.
I just came to this video after watching a video about a young boy named alfredo who fell down a narrow 250 foot deep well in italy, this experience could have saved him
Using the double fishermans regularly to rappell down after climbing when 1 rope length isn't enough. It is already absolutely secure if tied correctly.
Agreed! This knot can slip or snap before breaking. Knot tiers should really be aware of the Sheetbend/Bowline structure and variations. Both are very famous and commonly used (weak) knots, 2 variations have already been documented as deadly (such as on Wikipedia). Even easier, both can be switch to stronger knots for the required situation.
Horrible demo. Hands are covering the ropes most of the time making it impossible to see what is happening. This is the most common mistake with most knot videos and slowing down the video speed does. Or fix it.
@@innerbarkoutdoors Not only it may untangle when it is not under load, it is also rather weak (watch?v=dagg2-If4h8). If you would add reever bend instead of sheet bend, the name of the video would be greatly justified :) Also, as far as i know, flemish bend is tied wrong. The first loop of the standing end should go over the the last loop of the working end of the opposite rope. In other words, at 3:57, the loop of the blue rope on the left, should go over the loop of the orange rope on the left. And the loop of orange rope on the right (which goes under the standing end of the blue rope), should go over the loop of blue rope on the right. That way, when the knot is under load, it uses all the rope to compress the knot. In the case which is on the video, the standing ends miss the volume of the working ends and of the opposite rope and doesn't use it to compress the knot fully, weakening the knot.
Seriously, I would think again about recommending at least some of these knots for climbing. Personally I would not follow your video instructions in situations that may involve people dying when those knots fail!!
I am going to keep watching until I get these perfected. Great tutorial. Thanks. 🪢😁👍🏻

Nice thank you ! My favorite way to tie 2 ropes together is the Zeppelin Bend!
Nice! Glad I liked it !!
I watch probably 20 different videos on this knot multiple times and couldn't get it. Watched yours and got it on the first try.
Useful and strangely relaxing to watch!
Ropes and knots are used in all societies throughout history, fascinating stuff, really!

All great knots and great presentation! Thank You!
edit: Fisherman's Knot All the Way!!! Exactly what I need.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks legend👍🏻

Getting back into the swing of knot videos I am realizing that I have forgotten some too - so these are good for both of us :) Glad you like it!
@@DonSpida Was this for the Square knot ? Thanks eh !
Thank you! Your tutorials are very clear!
Thanks for watching!
Master Scout!
Yeah buddy
Excellent tutorial. Top notch videography.
Yay! Thanks!
great video
*thumbs up*
Would the double fisherman be OK to swing on?
Yes. It is one of two recommended knots for connecting 2 climbing ropes. If you want to do a ropeswing and need to connect 2 ropes, this is the one. Triple is a bit overkill but if it gives you a more secure feeling go for it.
thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks. Im using triple fishermans knot. 🙃didnt try hoisting item using this knot yet, but it look really strong knot. 👌🏼
Fantastic!
Thanks
No problem
very handy! thanx a lot =)
*thumbs up*
It's useful video 👍 thankful
Glad you liked it!
the sheet bend should have the two working ends finish on the same side. Much more stable.
*thumbs up*
You know what they say; relationships are like ropes, if you cut the rope and tie them back together, it brings both ends closer together. Let em know
*thumbs up*

Thanks for the video
If you Google climbing knot strength test, there are some lb testing that's well documented
Cool video and clear. I'm not a knot connoisseur so it would be nice to know what the different types of knots are used for and why. Thank you

What kind of rope is this
Triple fisher man knot 1:40
*thumbs up*
What are the reasons for a triple fisherman? Are there situations for the double fisherman to be insecure?
Not necessarily, just a bit more secure :)
Using the double fishermans regularly to rappell down after climbing when 1 rope length isn't enough. It is already absolutely secure if tied correctly.

Your sheet bend is WRONG anf dangerous. You should have both tag ends exiting the knot on the same side
Agreed! This knot can slip or snap before breaking.

Sheet bend is far from being "the strongest way" to tie ropes together.
A sheet bend is pretty similar to a bowline...

Great, maybe check out the video I have specific for climbing knots
