@@breogan8121 I do feel shame. But to my defense I chose that name in relation to one of my favorite cartoon characters as a kid not as a resumé of my abilities.
I've seen this knot explained and demo'd on so many other channels and they made it seem so complicated. Turns out it couldn't be easier. Great instructions!
By your experience, is a bowline easy to untie after a large load or a shock load? I've tied bowlines before in a pinch, but not loading them excessively.
@@m.agilnajib345 there are easier knots to untie, but it's not massively hard. They are used in sailing to attach to sails... And even small ones can pull with multiple tons, and they get wet!
@@m.agilnajib345 as a climber, I can answer this. A bowline is what's known as a non-constricting knot. When weighted, it doesn't tighten on itself (to an unnecessary degree) and can always be untied with relative ease. A figure 8 follow through on the other hand IS a constricting knot. That's what we tie our harness to. The more weight you put on it, the harder it grabs onto itself. For these reasons, the bowline is a popular knot to make anchors with (such as around a tree).
I appreciate the simplicity and repetition! As a climber with crippling knot-dyslexia, I really need to learn things by rote, and do them over & over, to satisfy myself that I am being safe for myself & anyone I might be belaying. This sort of stuff helps.
Just a heads up that you probably shouldn’t use this knot when climbing, it could loosen accidentally from any slack in the line. Still a great video though
So funny, it's seems whenever you need a knot, there are always a bunch of people watching and waiting for a miraculous knot. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the tip. Gonna use it every time.
Hahaha no doubt. I’m in construction and came across a funny example. One guy was standing on a ladder, another guy holding it while 4 of us were standing there watching him.. foreman was watching as well, razzing him saying “wtf kind of a knot are you making?!”. Funny co-worker said “a noose”
excellent video. thanks for boiling it all down to easy-to-remember instructions - and for repeating it several times. "two big wraps, two little wraps" so easy to remember that way!
I love knots being a Scout. My favs and common knots and lashings are usually clove hitches, reef knots and whippings. But this is a good one to know and use. I like the way you explained going 'twice' at the end as once if done the wrong way does not work. Thank you. Bro.
I couldnt even remember this one, but thats because I needed to physically do it 1st in order to actually remember it. Great video, Im sure I'll need it some day
Just keep a few feet of nice rope wherever you sit to watch videos so you can practice everytime you sit down. Apart from the repetition, you can take advantage of the lowered brain waves that viewing screens causes. They're designed this way literally for mind control and the evidence of this is blatantly obvious everywhere you look with people. If you dont believe that would happen then you mustn't know about MKUltra. But you can use it to your advantage in cases like this, practicing while watching something on a screen will imprint it into your subconscious.
Practice while watching the video, and then practice without watching, and then again several more times over the course of a week and you'll have it down. There are only about 7 knots you really need to know to cover almost every need; bowline, stopper knot or figure 8 knot, alpine butterfly, truckers hitch (which uses an alpine butterfly or a bowline), clove hitch, round turn (or two) with two half hitch, square knot. Incidentally, a bowline can be tied one handed with a few very simple maneuvers, and so if you are being dragged in the water holding onto a line - or in a flood and someone throws you a rope, you can hold on with one hand, use your free hand to pull the rope around your back, and then use it to tie yourself into a bowline making a rescue harness and freeing both hands to work on getting out of the situation knowing you are secure.
Thank you. I can finally look like I know what I'm on about when tying to something. It certainly beats the one rubbish/ unpredictable knot that everyone knows.
@@AngelbertGonzalez If you have to, then you have to, but best be sure. There's a tool out there called a marlin spike or marlines spike, that undoes does nots. It's essentially a big nail. You might appreciate this. th-cam.com/video/lZfpQzV2GnM/w-d-xo.html
Finally!!! I was watching your channel because i want to learn some usefull knots when needed but i can never remeber what knot to use for what aplication when i needed one... Now i need to remember just one to rule them all, thanks!!!
You are a consummate teacher/mentor in this incredibly and difficult task of showing a simple example of your forte. Unfortunately I can not make two turns geographically and knot be lost. My hats off to you Sir!
This is excellent. I watch tons of knot videos and sometimes when I'm out in the field with no service, for some reason my mind just decides knots are not on the available neurons that day and I'm at a loss for what to do, so...I guess. This is a quality knot that's excessively easy to remember and can be used in basically any situation. Awesome.
Braided fishing line is notoriously slick. If you had put a couple of half hitches at the end of your lathe handle knot tie, or instead of making two wraps around your hand, double the amount of wraps to four, and it will not slip. Knots for rope seldom work for very small line like fishing line and vis versa. I love this channel and you are a knot genius. Thank you for this absolutely fantastic channel. The knowledge gained here is priceless.
You exactly predicted why I needed this. I’ve been the center of attention multiple times and I’m just like “why does everyone think I know how to tie things?” Maybe you can help me with this one too: being given full sized firewood logs and a cigarette lighter and being asked to make fire, when everything else is wet
You need ample tinder and kindling. Leaves and pine needles can work as good kindling even if a bit damp, depending on how dry they are internally. Look for brown, obviously dead stuff. Newspaper sucks as kindling and should only be used as an igniter, it makes too much soot and ash and chokes out a nascent fire. Your Tinder should vary in size from about 1in in diameter down to tiny twigs, and they need to be dead, not fresh. If all you have is logs, youll need to make small strips and chunks for your kindling. Once you have your materials, you can arrange your fire. Height is your friend here (because heat rises, igniting materials above it, but embers fall, heating the material at the bottom). Ideally you would build a tower or a tp. Big logs can help form your foundation, but the most important thing is to mind the airflow. It's fine to clog it up a bit with your fire starter materials at first, but the goal is to have ample airflow into the base of the fire, and an obvious path for that air to follow as it heats, expands, and rises. But if it's too wet you might just be effed.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. When I was a young man and in the boy scouts I would sit in my room and with my scout manual out I would practice tying knots. Believe it or not I still have that rope that I had back in the boy scouts when practicing. That was over 50 years ago. When I started bass fishing I join the bassmaster subscription and as you're free guest it would have a book on tying knots to attach your hook to your reel. I would practice and practice until I could do it blindfolded. Back in my thirties when I started rock climbing it was the same thing all over again. But this time if one of my knots would fail I could die. I would even carry a piece of climbing rope with me to work and on my lunch hour I would practice. I really love how simple you made it look to tie this knot. As I was watching your video I pulled out my practice rope and have already tried this out at this point for at least 20 different times.
I see parts with superficial resemblances to a clove hitch and barrel knot, but resemblance is all I see. It's basically a double overhand on two wraps instead of one. If it's not around something a double overhand can easily invert into a barrel knot as a stopper but that inversion can't happen here. At 0:08 you can clearly see that it's not a barrel knot. This knot may be fine for basic utility work, but I wouldn't use it for anything critical, or anything that might lose tension and shake or vibrate.
Brent - Nice work. If you want to make it 100% Murphy proof put a stopper knot on the end. You could make it even stronger by capturing the wraps under themselves. If you need a example of what I'm talking about: a rolling hitch is stronger than a tautline hitch because the wraps are have more friction. It looks messy, but it works better for it. As a inventor, you think things through and do things your own way. I use time honored knots and save my thinking time for how to use them in combination. As long as you do the R&D you have the better end of the deal. In the days of sail some sailors would keep the secret of how some knots were tied, much as some people won't share family recipes. So I really mean it when I say, thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to the next video,
Brent thinks "outside the box" an invokes the "creative process" to each his own. You seem to be saying take the "Lazy way" and save time, sorry if I misunderstood. Unfortunately, 'ScorpionRegent' the time honored knot takes just as much "time" to learn and implement if not longer. ...and isn't any faster to use so I prefer Brent's "Panic Knot".
@@kevinwiens4804 You got it all wrong. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Brent. If he has a problem with me, or anything else, I would be happy to make time to work it out. You, on the other hand, have demonstrated with your attitude and your assumptions that any attempts at communication would be a waste of time. I don't know what your story is, I don't care, you're not my problem.
@@ScorpionRegent Actually you seemed to be the one with the attitude, the time honored knots are great however I stand by what I said, it takes just as much "time" to learn and implement those knots if not longer. ...and aren't any faster to use so I prefer Brent's "Panic Knot". Sorry if I appreciate the new innovative designs Brent comes up with I do apologize if you took offense by what I said...
@@kevinwiens4804- Okay, here's your one chance. I never said anything about taking the "lazy way", you did. Brent isn't lazy, he took the time to think it through. I never said that my way was better. I did say, "As long as you do the R&D you have the better end of the deal." I choose to use time honored knots, because I have all ready learned them, in muscle memory. That is my choice and I would think it's a good reason. Knowing knots I can tie the Panic knot without having to practice it, but I still have to think about it. When you have to do something under pressure like rigging a tent in high winds, I have, time is at a premium. So speaking only for myself, I can can implement my knots faster. I invested time into my knots. Some people collect shoes, I collect knots. Brent spent his time inventing, among other things, a knot. I don't so much invent knots, as contemplate variants. Whether or not I invent other things isn't relevant here and now. Based on my knowledge, I pointed out how he could make his knot more reliable or even stronger. I never implied that his knot was unreliable or weak, just that it could be better. When I mentioned that I chose to spend time differently than Brent, did you infer that I was passing judgement? I wasn't, only noting the difference. Okay on to etiquette & protocol. If I seemed to have a attitude in my first comment, then that was you assuming. I did have a attitude after your response, that was me offended. You read a lot of things between my lines that weren't there. I don't know why you viewed my comment the way you did. You might want to figure it out for yourself. I will accept your apology if it's sincere and you actually learned something here. If you just are trying to be polite, I will choose to decline. Okay I'm knocking the ball back to your side of the net. Brent has a new knot, I gave some options on improvement, what would you like to share? So far you haven't mentioned any other knots or techniques, only what I feel to be unwarranted and unproductive criticism. I'm serious, if you have something to contribute I would sincerely like to hear it, because this shouldn't be about you or me, it's about Brent's knot. If nothing else say how you will use it.
That's a nice tensionless hitch, maximizing the strength of the line. I might recommend learning a bowline, bowline on the bight or tugboat bowline. Much quicker to tie. Great video👍 keep it up.
Exactly what I was thinking! I learned to tie knots in a maritime academy, if a bowline can hold a yacht pretty sure it can tow an atv. The 5 knots I learned they are all u need to know
The question is when is it useful and when is it dangerous. If you just pull something, have a constant load on the rope it's great. If the load comes from different directions it opens around 1.5kN (about 153kg or 337 lbs) under the best circumstances of the rope. It'd be interesting to test this panic knot.
@@LigerSupremacy There are actually more than 5 for sailing: - bowline knot - clove hitch - sheet bend - square knot - figure 8 - round turn and two half hitches - rolling hitch - cleat hitch there are some variations, but those are the ones I had to learn. Another nice one is the trucker hitch.
Nice, I have to remember this one. I’m a student of the bowline-for-everything school, but it’s nice to have an alternative that’s tight around what you’re tying to.
Excellent knot, perfect demonstration. Old saying : "If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot." meaning : If you don't know the proper knot for the purpose, keep tying granny knots 'til you run out of rope/line/cord. ☺
No, if you don’t know a knot, find someone who does. Or accept responsibility because your load fell off the truck and damaged something or killed someone, or the piece you were lifting fell on someone.
@@gerardjohnson2106 I know what it is. I’m in the knot “business.” We use it all the time for people who don’t know the correct knot. Then we fix the knot. Then we teach the knot. (When there’s time)
I was panicking but then I watched this. I'm not sure how the knot will help with my failing marriage but this guy's voice sure is making feel like it'll all be alright...
So concise and very well explained! Thankyou for changing my life lol. I know a handful of really useful knots like the bowline and clove hitch etc. But this ones a game changer!!
The second way you show the knot being tied to a closed off anchor point is really usefull ! It reminds me quite a bit of a running bowline! Very cool ,I will definitely use it.
Brilliant video, I always screw up when there are people around and you’re tying something up… this is simple and easy to remember and it works great…thank you for posting 🙂🙂👍👍
Unless I don't have the extra length, I usually add a stopper. If I'm climbing or lifting, I always add a stopper. Doesnt matter what type of knot - if it's near the end of the rope, I want a stopper after it.
@@52Ford Most climber will tell you how secure the anchor hitch is. I don't have the length after my swabisch for a stopper knot on my anchor hitch. But there two fail safe. So it is not needed. Anchor hitch looks unreliable visually but it is such a good and reliable knot.
By the way, I enjoyed watching your video. Your instructions were clear and concise. Nothing fancy, just straightforward and purposeful. Thank you very much for sharing.
I can so relate with that situation when you get asked to tie a knot spontaneously, one can be good a knots but "brainfreeze" happens when there's insufficient muscle memory.
In the fire service for 20 years and would have this happen to me. I'd know my knots but hadn't practiced them recently, then one of the know it all rookies comes up and condescendingly asks what a certain knot is...I fumble for a few tries and he scoffs. After my brain is functioning I then shut him up after showing him 10 more knots he'd never heard of lol
@Cottontail Grouse true. Unrelated does this knot strike you as one that might untie itself with repeat slack and tension cycles, especially with a short ... tail? What's the technical term for the extra rope?
One of the things I love about a good knot (the ones in this video are a perfect example) is when the knot is still pretty loose but very secure. Your knot isn't going anywhere if I pull on the working end, yet once tension is let off I could easily push a finger through the knot and pull it apart with that one finger, no problem. There's nothing worse than tying a knot that works but then ends up extremely tight and difficult to untie...
as a fisherman I was immediately like "that'll slip with fishing line" glad he included that, go for a locked blood-knot in that kind of situation, also not too difficult
Never do this, this is a self-tightening knot that will tighten around your waist with a force of yoir own body weight, similar results can be achieved by trying to use a noose as a harness. This is what you use the bowline for
Great video demonstration on what appears to be a very useful knot. I don't know why anyone would give it a thumbs down. Token opposition to practical knowledge, maybe?
This is a modified version of the Anchor Hitch (ABOK # 1841, p 309), with an extra tuck. Around 1:38 he mistakenly calls it a Ring Hitch, but that is incorrect.
You’re right! I went back though the book and saw my mistake. Ring hitches are one page before the fisherman’s bend. I’m guessing the proximity to each other got me. Thanks for the comment.
Good video. I used to rock climb and took a rock climbing course at Miami university (and got belayed certified of course). One thing you should always make sure to do it leave a tail of about 6 inches in case the rope slips at all or needs to tighten.
As knots are classified by function, the first example connects a rope to an object and is thus referred to as a 'hitch'. The first part of the hitch is known as an 'anchor hitch' (or, more commonly misnamed as an 'anchor bend'). Note that if you then remove the object, you are left with a 'double overhand knot' having 5 crosses. Then the end of the hitch is finished off by adding an extra internal wrap around the standing part. Wrapping around the running part might be an alternative to consider. Seen as a knot it has at least 7 crossing, and is thus rather complex. The hitch might be secure for some purposes, but will fail inspection, where inspection is required, as a 'knot unknown''. The (third) example with a closed anchor point is completely different. In this case a running / sinching loop is created, by including the standing part into the two last wraps. This looks like an error to me. If the standing part was included in the first two turns it would be an ⚓ hitch, with an extra turn, around the standing part, and might be secure. Adding two turns around the anchor would create the strongest hitch there is. ( The inspector might still not be satisfied, as the tie off knot is unknown to him...) Always nice to see new suggestions. Happy knotting.
My go-to knot has always been the square knot. Super simple, left over right, right over left. I will definitely give this one a go next time I need a knot
It’s a slip knot and as you see in a couple of the demonstrations, it’s a good way to ruin your rope. It pulls tighter and tighter the harder or longer you pull and leaves you with a knot you have to cut to get loose. Timberline or tentline would be better options without causing rope loss.
@@bearfangmedia Knots that jam up and must be cut to be undone are generally best avoided. I'm not sure if that's the case here, but it's one consideration.
The video reminds me of the time when my son trained to be a firefighter and practiced the various knots at home. To top it off, he practiced the abseiling techniques for rescuing people - he tied me up like a package 😅 and abseil me down the stairwell.
What knot were you attempting to tie? It looks like a Mashup between an anchor bend and a tautline hitch but neglects the safety half hitch to finish either knot. It would be just as easy to teach a proper round turn and two half hitches in the same way, but the result would be people know a safer/better knot.
Neat knot but As a pipe welder/iron worker my one Bose would not let you work untill you learned three knots the cat,spaw/bowline/Square knot. We did alot of work with cranes so knowing the best knots was a must for rigging. There was an accident were a piece of pipe fell from a crane which is why we had to learn those knots before we could work. I after learning them I didn't realize how much it would come in handy at home also towing cars settings up tents and tarps save me alot on rope not having to cut it after tying a knot.
1:37 as an FYI, a knot and a hitch are two different things. A hitch must be tied around something or it will fall apart. A knot can be tied on its own and is self-sufficient.
My "panic knot" is usually a clove hitch with a couple quick half hitches with the tail....or a bowline. Both come apart easy when you load it. How's your panic knot come apart after loading?
Bowline is the bomb. Double figure is also tons of fun but once loaded with a bunch of weight it's a pain in the balls to take out. Munter hitch is my favorite though. You can drop loads/ tag loads out no effort whatsoever. I'd rappel off of a munter hitch and have done so in the past now that I remember it.

@@m.agilnajib345 as a climber, I can answer this. A bowline is what's known as a non-constricting knot. When weighted, it doesn't tighten on itself (to an unnecessary degree) and can always be untied with relative ease. A figure 8 follow through on the other hand IS a constricting knot. That's what we tie our harness to. The more weight you put on it, the harder it grabs onto itself. For these reasons, the bowline is a popular knot to make anchors with (such as around a tree).

@@Xezlec It needs a word, and that is a good word, so I say we go with it.
Just a heads up that you probably shouldn’t use this knot when climbing, it could loosen accidentally from any slack in the line. Still a great video though
So funny, it's seems whenever you need a knot, there are always a bunch of people watching and waiting for a miraculous knot. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the tip. Gonna use it every time.
Hahaha no doubt. I’m in construction and came across a funny example. One guy was standing on a ladder, another guy holding it while 4 of us were standing there watching him.. foreman was watching as well, razzing him saying “wtf kind of a knot are you making?!”.
Funny co-worker said “a noose”
@@JR-wb9dh lmao hell that's about the only knot I remember 🤣 Just remember 13 wraps or it isn't legal😂
excellent video. thanks for boiling it all down to easy-to-remember instructions - and for repeating it several times. "two big wraps, two little wraps" so easy to remember that way!
I love knots being a Scout. My favs and common knots and lashings are usually clove hitches, reef knots and whippings. But this is a good one to know and use. I like the way you explained going 'twice' at the end as once if done the wrong way does not work. Thank you. Bro.
thank you so much. as a 48 year old man who's never been a boy scout, I can tell you this will save me from getting laughed at by the guys @ work.
You are an excellent teacher. The wrapping around the hand makes it much easier to see what is happening be as the knot is tied. Bravo.
I couldnt even remember this one, but thats because I needed to physically do it 1st in order to actually remember it.
Great video, Im sure I'll need it some day
Every time I watch these I think to myself this is so easy I’ll remember it, can’t wait to use it!
I can never recall these tips when I need them. 😅
You need to practice it a couple times
Just keep a few feet of nice rope wherever you sit to watch videos so you can practice everytime you sit down.
Apart from the repetition, you can take advantage of the lowered brain waves that viewing screens causes.
They're designed this way literally for mind control and the evidence of this is blatantly obvious everywhere you look with people. If you dont believe that would happen then you mustn't know about MKUltra.
But you can use it to your advantage in cases like this, practicing while watching something on a screen will imprint it into your subconscious.
Practice while watching the video, and then practice without watching, and then again several more times over the course of a week and you'll have it down. There are only about 7 knots you really need to know to cover almost every need; bowline, stopper knot or figure 8 knot, alpine butterfly, truckers hitch (which uses an alpine butterfly or a bowline), clove hitch, round turn (or two) with two half hitch, square knot. Incidentally, a bowline can be tied one handed with a few very simple maneuvers, and so if you are being dragged in the water holding onto a line - or in a flood and someone throws you a rope, you can hold on with one hand, use your free hand to pull the rope around your back, and then use it to tie yourself into a bowline making a rescue harness and freeing both hands to work on getting out of the situation knowing you are secure.
Good
Not sure what brought me here or why but I'm glad I watched. Useful info for sure!
#kankinknot 🙋
Thank you. I can finally look like I know what I'm on about when tying to something. It certainly beats the one rubbish/ unpredictable knot that everyone knows.
Big fan of the straight to the point no bullshit approach. Subscribed. One knot to rule them all, or so it seems.
Wow perhaps the only knot I will be able to remember that I don't have to cut off... thanks your a legend!!!
Knowing a knot includes knowing how to untie it. If you keep reaching for a knife you are wasting money on cordage. You just need to practice more.
👏😂
@@AngelbertGonzalez Thanks Angel. That was for me, right?
@@ScorpionRegent yes sir, I’ve had to cut a couple of knot as well
@@AngelbertGonzalez If you have to, then you have to, but best be sure. There's a tool out there called a marlin spike or marlines spike, that undoes does nots. It's essentially a big nail.
You might appreciate this.
th-cam.com/video/lZfpQzV2GnM/w-d-xo.html
This is good common knowledge. I’m a weaver so I got my favorite knots for different situations, but this is such an easy way to teach the laymen.
Finally!!! I was watching your channel because i want to learn some usefull knots when needed but i can never remeber what knot to use for what aplication when i needed one... Now i need to remember just one to rule them all, thanks!!!
You are a consummate teacher/mentor in this incredibly and difficult task of showing a simple example of your forte. Unfortunately I can not make two turns geographically and knot be lost. My hats off to you Sir!
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate your comment.
Was having difficulty follow a noose tutorial. This does the job. Thank you.
This is excellent. I watch tons of knot videos and sometimes when I'm out in the field with no service, for some reason my mind just decides knots are not on the available neurons that day and I'm at a loss for what to do, so...I guess. This is a quality knot that's excessively easy to remember and can be used in basically any situation. Awesome.
Braided fishing line is notoriously slick. If you had put a couple of half hitches at the end of your lathe handle knot tie, or instead of making two wraps around your hand, double the amount of wraps to four, and it will not slip. Knots for rope seldom work for very small line like fishing line and vis versa. I love this channel and you are a knot genius. Thank you for this absolutely fantastic channel. The knowledge gained here is priceless.
You exactly predicted why I needed this. I’ve been the center of attention multiple times and I’m just like “why does everyone think I know how to tie things?” Maybe you can help me with this one too: being given full sized firewood logs and a cigarette lighter and being asked to make fire, when everything else is wet
To start a fire with wet logs you have to split them apart. Only the outer layer of the wood is wet. The inner wood is dry and will light.
Girl scout water and road flares 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You need ample tinder and kindling. Leaves and pine needles can work as good kindling even if a bit damp, depending on how dry they are internally. Look for brown, obviously dead stuff. Newspaper sucks as kindling and should only be used as an igniter, it makes too much soot and ash and chokes out a nascent fire.
Your Tinder should vary in size from about 1in in diameter down to tiny twigs, and they need to be dead, not fresh. If all you have is logs, youll need to make small strips and chunks for your kindling.
Once you have your materials, you can arrange your fire. Height is your friend here (because heat rises, igniting materials above it, but embers fall, heating the material at the bottom). Ideally you would build a tower or a tp. Big logs can help form your foundation, but the most important thing is to mind the airflow.
It's fine to clog it up a bit with your fire starter materials at first, but the goal is to have ample airflow into the base of the fire, and an obvious path for that air to follow as it heats, expands, and rises.
But if it's too wet you might just be effed.
Cool ideas. A half hitch on the other side should lock everything up and will prevent slipping from a round surface. Very useful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. When I was a young man and in the boy scouts I would sit in my room and with my scout manual out I would practice tying knots. Believe it or not I still have that rope that I had back in the boy scouts when practicing. That was over 50 years ago. When I started bass fishing I join the bassmaster subscription and as you're free guest it would have a book on tying knots to attach your hook to your reel. I would practice and practice until I could do it blindfolded.
Back in my thirties when I started rock climbing it was the same thing all over again. But this time if one of my knots would fail I could die. I would even carry a piece of climbing rope with me to work and on my lunch hour I would practice.
I really love how simple you made it look to tie this knot. As I was watching your video I pulled out my practice rope and have already tried this out at this point for at least 20 different times.
Speaking as a rope access technician it's a clove hitch and a barrel knot all in one. Beautiful 🤗
I see parts with superficial resemblances to a clove hitch and barrel knot, but resemblance is all I see. It's basically a double overhand on two wraps instead of one. If it's not around something a double overhand can easily invert into a barrel knot as a stopper but that inversion can't happen here. At 0:08 you can clearly see that it's not a barrel knot. This knot may be fine for basic utility work, but I wouldn't use it for anything critical, or anything that might lose tension and shake or vibrate.
Brent - Nice work. If you want to make it 100% Murphy proof put a stopper knot on the end. You could make it even stronger by capturing the wraps under themselves. If you need a example of what I'm talking about: a rolling hitch is stronger than a tautline hitch because the wraps are have more friction. It looks messy, but it works better for it.
As a inventor, you think things through and do things your own way. I use time honored knots and save my thinking time for how to use them in combination. As long as you do the R&D you have the better end of the deal.
In the days of sail some sailors would keep the secret of how some knots were tied, much as some people won't share family recipes. So I really mean it when I say, thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to the next video,
Brent thinks "outside the box" an invokes the "creative process" to each his own. You seem to be saying take the "Lazy way" and save time, sorry if I misunderstood.
Unfortunately,
'ScorpionRegent' the time honored knot takes just as much "time" to learn and implement if not longer.
...and isn't any faster to use so I prefer Brent's "Panic Knot".
@@kevinwiens4804 You got it all wrong. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Brent. If he has a problem with me, or anything else, I would be happy to make time to work it out.
You, on the other hand, have demonstrated with your attitude and your assumptions that any attempts at communication would be a waste of time. I don't know what your story is, I don't care, you're not my problem.
@@ScorpionRegent Actually you seemed to be the one with the attitude, the time honored knots are great however I stand by what I said, it takes just as much "time" to learn and implement those knots if not longer.
...and aren't any faster to use so I prefer Brent's "Panic Knot". Sorry if I appreciate the new innovative designs Brent comes up with I do apologize if you took offense by what I said...
@@ScorpionRegent Try me...instead of assuming...that I have an attitude.
@@kevinwiens4804- Okay, here's your one chance. I never said anything about taking the "lazy way", you did. Brent isn't lazy, he took the time to think it through. I never said that my way was better. I did say, "As long as you do the R&D you have the better end of the deal." I choose to use time honored knots, because I have all ready learned them, in muscle memory. That is my choice and I would think it's a good reason. Knowing knots I can tie the Panic knot without having to practice it, but I still have to think about it. When you have to do something under pressure like rigging a tent in high winds, I have, time is at a premium. So speaking only for myself, I can can implement my knots faster. I invested time into my knots. Some people collect shoes, I collect knots. Brent spent his time inventing, among other things, a knot. I don't so much invent knots, as contemplate variants. Whether or not I invent other things isn't relevant here and now. Based on my knowledge, I pointed out how he could make his knot more reliable or even stronger. I never implied that his knot was unreliable or weak, just that it could be better. When I mentioned that I chose to spend time differently than Brent, did you infer that I was passing judgement? I wasn't, only noting the difference.
Okay on to etiquette & protocol. If I seemed to have a attitude in my first comment, then that was you assuming. I did have a attitude after your response, that was me offended. You read a lot of things between my lines that weren't there. I don't know why you viewed my comment the way you did. You might want to figure it out for yourself. I will accept your apology if it's sincere and you actually learned something here. If you just are trying to be polite, I will choose to decline.
Okay I'm knocking the ball back to your side of the net. Brent has a new knot, I gave some options on improvement, what would you like to share? So far you haven't mentioned any other knots or techniques, only what I feel to be unwarranted and unproductive criticism. I'm serious, if you have something to contribute I would sincerely like to hear it, because this shouldn't be about you or me, it's about Brent's knot. If nothing else say how you will use it.
That's a nice tensionless hitch, maximizing the strength of the line. I might recommend learning a bowline, bowline on the bight or tugboat bowline. Much quicker to tie. Great video👍 keep it up.
Exactly what I was thinking! I learned to tie knots in a maritime academy, if a bowline can hold a yacht pretty sure it can tow an atv. The 5 knots I learned they are all u need to know
@@warrengavin4502 Which 5?
The question is when is it useful and when is it dangerous. If you just pull something, have a constant load on the rope it's great. If the load comes from different directions it opens around 1.5kN (about 153kg or 337 lbs) under the best circumstances of the rope. It'd be interesting to test this panic knot.
@@LigerSupremacy There are actually more than 5 for sailing:
- bowline knot
- clove hitch
- sheet bend
- square knot
- figure 8
- round turn and two half hitches
- rolling hitch
- cleat hitch
there are some variations, but those are the ones I had to learn.
Another nice one is the trucker hitch.
Bowlines are not secure knots, they weaken the line by 50%.
Nice, I have to remember this one. I’m a student of the bowline-for-everything school, but it’s nice to have an alternative that’s tight around what you’re tying to.
Probably the easiest new knot to remember I've ever encountered. Two and two. Makes me want to jump up, go out in the garage and try it right now!
Excellent knot, perfect demonstration.
Old saying : "If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot." meaning : If you don't know the proper knot for the purpose, keep tying granny knots 'til you run out of rope/line/cord. ☺
No, if you don’t know a knot, find someone who does. Or accept responsibility because your load fell off the truck and damaged something or killed someone, or the piece you were lifting fell on someone.
@@carpballet it's a joke dork
@@gerardjohnson2106 I know what it is. I’m in the knot “business.” We use it all the time for people who don’t know the correct knot. Then we fix the knot. Then we teach the knot. (When there’s time)
A good knot can be untied. It will hold strong until you allow it to be untied
@@carpballet ok so now I'm confused. You are not in a business or are not in what not?
I was panicking but then I watched this.
I'm not sure how the knot will help with my failing marriage but this guy's voice sure is making feel like it'll all be alright...
This won't help your marriage at all. It may be time to untie the knot.
So concise and very well explained! Thankyou for changing my life lol. I know a handful of really useful knots like the bowline and clove hitch etc. But this ones a game changer!!
The second way you show the knot being tied to a closed off anchor point is really usefull ! It reminds me quite a bit of a running bowline! Very cool ,I will definitely use it.
Brilliant video, I always screw up when there are people around and you’re tying something up… this is simple and easy to remember and it works great…thank you for posting 🙂🙂👍👍
You might not know this, but this video has probably saved lives. Brilliant presentation, many thanks
If it's something critical, I'd definitely put a stopper knot on the running end. May even work well for the fishing line issue too.
That's just a modified anchor hitch,,(double hitch). Anchor hitch doesn't really require a stopper knot but a barrel knot will make it super secure.
Unless I don't have the extra length, I usually add a stopper. If I'm climbing or lifting, I always add a stopper. Doesnt matter what type of knot - if it's near the end of the rope, I want a stopper after it.
@@accaciagame1706 still, if something bad could happen if the knot failed, I add a stopper.
Yeah, at least leave a reasonable length sticking out. But still, a good knot to have in the arsenal.
@@52Ford Most climber will tell you how secure the anchor hitch is. I don't have the length after my swabisch for a stopper knot on my anchor hitch. But there two fail safe. So it is not needed. Anchor hitch looks unreliable visually but it is such a good and reliable knot.
That is a really good and easy to r et member knot for panic situations. Honestly for most situations that looks like a really good knot.
Absolutely first class professional. Well done dude. I look forward to learning from you
By the way, I enjoyed watching your video. Your instructions were clear and concise. Nothing fancy, just straightforward and purposeful. Thank you very much for sharing.
I can so relate with that situation when you get asked to tie a knot spontaneously, one can be good a knots but "brainfreeze" happens when there's insufficient muscle memory.
In the fire service for 20 years and would have this happen to me. I'd know my knots but hadn't practiced them recently, then one of the know it all rookies comes up and condescendingly asks what a certain knot is...I fumble for a few tries and he scoffs. After my brain is functioning I then shut him up after showing him 10 more knots he'd never heard of lol
@@UrMomGoes2College Thanks for sticking it out so long in the firefighting service! 20 years is considered an entire career doing such hazardous work!
Same, I’ve learn 12+ “must know” knots and forget them all time.
Speed run competitions one handed bowline blindfolded, ante a dollar, compete with buddies, never forget.
@Cottontail Grouse true. Unrelated does this knot strike you as one that might untie itself with repeat slack and tension cycles, especially with a short ... tail? What's the technical term for the extra rope?
Easily the best knot video, this is one that anyone can remember. Thank you.
It’s an anchor bend and a slippery anchor bend. I use to use it to tie on carabiners on a open loop dbrt climbing system.
I knew it would have a name. Creating a new, unknown knot is a bigger deal than people realise.
It's 2021 and this man is still out here discovering more knots 🪢
No.
“Two big wraps, two little wraps.” This should be called the Chipotle knot.
A number nine a number nine large....
No, Just no.
I'm a frayed knot, as it fails to turn either end of you into a firehose. Chipotle, meanwhile, is a bi-directional emergency eject button.
Without the food poisoning
It's a two half hitch. Stop trying to get internet points as if any of this matters.
I've been into knots for decades. This is a FANTASTIC knot, and so easy to remember how to tie. Thank you for showing it.
First Class Professional!!!
one of the golden vids of Knots
This is a great knot to teach my kids. I know quite a few, but this is something that people will be able to remember.
Now I can go around tying these as if I’ve known how to do it my entire life. Let’s go Brandon!
You’ll screw it up.
….anything is possible
Brandon can’t go anywhere without first a diaper change and a pudding pop!
I love knots, and I've never seen this one before. Definitely going into the mental toolbox
One of the things I love about a good knot (the ones in this video are a perfect example) is when the knot is still pretty loose but very secure. Your knot isn't going anywhere if I pull on the working end, yet once tension is let off I could easily push a finger through the knot and pull it apart with that one finger, no problem. There's nothing worse than tying a knot that works but then ends up extremely tight and difficult to untie...
That's why I like the bowline. It's always easy to untie.
as a fisherman I was immediately like "that'll slip with fishing line" glad he included that, go for a locked blood-knot in that kind of situation, also not too difficult
I actually used that knot to harness myself 30ft off the ground to replace a broken belt at my work this man is awesome
Never do this, this is a self-tightening knot that will tighten around your waist with a force of yoir own body weight, similar results can be achieved by trying to use a noose as a harness.
This is what you use the bowline for
I've used a lot of knights that are quick and useful. I'll add this one to my rotation.

Great video! Will be my signature knot from now on.
Wow, that is so useful to know, and simple enough for me to
remember. I really appreciate you making this video.
This is such a good knot, it needs to have a name. I'll suggest the "Drunk's Knot" since it's so easy that you could still tie it when you're drunk...
I’m an Eagle Scout and I literally said “WHAT!” Out loud when I saw how easy this was
I'm going to use this as my go to from now on.
I don't believe you literally said that. I think you just said it.
I'm an eagle scout, and I literally thought "WHAT!" in quiet when I saw how easy this was, because goddamn, that's a good knot.
Great video demonstration on what appears to be a very useful knot. I don't know why anyone would give it a thumbs down. Token opposition to practical knowledge, maybe?
I like it. My go to is a slightly simpler version which is the round turn and two half hitches. I can tie it with one hand easily.
Not all Hero's wear a cape! Thanks for the tip dude!
Brilliant ! You definitely have a knack for knots!!
Very interesting way to make knots, can't say I'd seen this before and that surprises me!
This is a modified version of the Anchor Hitch (ABOK # 1841, p 309), with an extra tuck. Around 1:38 he mistakenly calls it a Ring Hitch, but that is incorrect.
You’re right! I went back though the book and saw my mistake. Ring hitches are one page before the fisherman’s bend. I’m guessing the proximity to each other got me. Thanks for the comment.
Good video. I used to rock climb and took a rock climbing course at Miami university (and got belayed certified of course). One thing you should always make sure to do it leave a tail of about 6 inches in case the rope slips at all or needs to tighten.
I often resort the the bowline loop at the end of a line
This looks to be a great working knot and a good solution for securing those roof rack items
which is stronger....? plus of bowline is that if the line goes slack it doesn't get undone
I like when you explain the concepts of the arrengements that you make. Nice tutorial.
As the old saying goes….”If you can’t tie Knots, tie Lots!!” 🙂
no, find someone who can teach you how to tie a knot.
@@kengurney5725 it's a joke, Ken.
Wow!!! This video deserves 1000 thumbs up from each viewer!!!! Fantastic 👍👍👍
As knots are classified by function, the first example connects a rope to an object and is thus referred to as a 'hitch'.
The first part of the hitch is known as an 'anchor hitch' (or, more commonly misnamed as an 'anchor bend').
Note that if you then remove the object, you are left with a 'double overhand knot' having 5 crosses.
Then the end of the hitch is finished off by adding an extra internal wrap around the standing part. Wrapping around the running part might be an alternative to consider.
Seen as a knot it has at least 7 crossing, and is thus rather complex.
The hitch might be secure for some purposes, but will fail inspection, where inspection is required, as a 'knot unknown''.
The (third) example with a closed anchor point is completely different. In this case a running / sinching loop is created, by including the standing part into the two last wraps. This looks like an error to me. If the standing part was included in the first two turns it would be an ⚓ hitch, with an extra turn, around the standing part, and might be secure. Adding two turns around the anchor would create the strongest hitch there is. ( The inspector might still not be satisfied, as the tie off knot is unknown to him...)
Always nice to see new suggestions. Happy knotting.
Haven't seen a knot video that's so clearly explained. Entangling 👏
My go-to knot has always been the square knot. Super simple, left over right, right over left. I will definitely give this one a go next time I need a knot
Don't rely on square knots! They can capsize under load. People have died this way.
Earned yourself a sub. Clear and concise but not too short. Explained how and why it works and made it interesting. Hell yea
Thank you for this. I've always needed to know a simple knot and this would be great.
This is awesome. Where has this been all my life?
It’s a slip knot and as you see in a couple of the demonstrations, it’s a good way to ruin your rope. It pulls tighter and tighter the harder or longer you pull and leaves you with a knot you have to cut to get loose. Timberline or tentline would be better options without causing rope loss.
"pulls tighter and tighter the harder or longer you pull" huh, kinda sounds like a knot
@@bearfangmedia no. There are hitches that you can use to stop the knot from getting tighter and tighter
@@bearfangmedia Knots that jam up and must be cut to be undone are generally best avoided. I'm not sure if that's the case here, but it's one consideration.
Im NOT good with knots and that situation always comes up on job site to tie something down this is gonna make my life so much easier thanks man👍👍
The video reminds me of the time when my son trained to be a firefighter and practiced the various knots at home.
To top it off, he practiced the abseiling techniques for rescuing people - he tied me up like a package 😅 and abseil me down the stairwell.
What knot were you attempting to tie? It looks like a Mashup between an anchor bend and a tautline hitch but neglects the safety half hitch to finish either knot. It would be just as easy to teach a proper round turn and two half hitches in the same way, but the result would be people know a safer/better knot.
Useful but simple knot. Thanks.
Your are the teacher we don’t deserve thank you!!!
Also My favorite knot is a garlic knot
I'm not sure why this was recommended, but I did learn a super cool way to build a knot 🤣
first knot video I saw where the knot was taught within the first 8 seconds and easily understood, very well done!
Neat knot but As a pipe welder/iron worker my one Bose would not let you work untill you learned three knots the cat,spaw/bowline/Square knot. We did alot of work with cranes so knowing the best knots was a must for rigging.
There was an accident were a piece of pipe fell from a crane which is why we had to learn those knots before we could work. I after learning them I didn't realize how much it would come in handy at home also towing cars settings up tents and tarps save me alot on rope not having to cut it after tying a knot.
IronWorker here. Knowing your knots definitely come in handy almost every single day for us.
i’m not sure when i will need it, but this is a very good skill to have
1:37 as an FYI, a knot and a hitch are two different things. A hitch must be tied around something or it will fall apart. A knot can be tied on its own and is self-sufficient.
So what's the difference in tying the knot or gettin' hitched?
@@dont.ripfuller6587 ...uh....yes
The best piece of cinematography I've seen on this platform. Keep it up!
My "panic knot" is usually a clove hitch with a couple quick half hitches with the tail....or a bowline. Both come apart easy when you load it.
How's your panic knot come apart after loading?
Panic will really begin when a knot slips. Stick with the bowline. When skilled in tying them, just as fast.
@@MyRadDesign yeah, I like the bowline. I tire one really fast with the double loop into a loop method and stick the tail in the second loop.
Well my panic knot is a knife knot, never the same creature twice and 9 out of 10 times isn't coming untied after a load is applied
Bowline is the bomb. Double figure is also tons of fun but once loaded with a bunch of weight it's a pain in the balls to take out. Munter hitch is my favorite though. You can drop loads/ tag loads out no effort whatsoever. I'd rappel off of a munter hitch and have done so in the past now that I remember it.
The bowling is a RESCUE knot and does not slip. The knot showed in this video slips and would not be used in place of a bowling.
