  • @pedroclaro7822
    @pedroclaro7822 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The siberian hitch, and the trucker's are what I use for my ridgeline. Great knots, no need for gear.
    The Siberian I tie it fast by reaching under the standing end (long end) and grab the middle of the working end with my palm facing up, then pull it to the other side, do a full turn with my wrist, grab the working end and pull it through the loop I created.. Then just pull to tighten.
    But knowing this version you taught would have saved me from getting confused many times - I got to knot the knot so well it turned to muscle memory and eventually I got stumped as I couldnt tie it for some reason. I was likely not making a full turn of the loop, or grabbing the rope at the wrong places.
    For the best trucker's hitch see Dave Canterbury's vid "best all around ridgeline"

      @c.s.rollison5821 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed great knots, and agree add prusik… another help would be to standardize your terminology; static line = standing end; loose line = working end; also suggest learning the difference between bight, loop and round turn. Otherwise good information and good video.
      (Subnote; not being a smartass, I have been a part of rope rescue teams for several decades, I personally know from my teaching experience, that if you don’t standardize your terminology, it gets very confusing to the students)

    @kurtschmidt5746 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    See the Timber Hitch, for anchoring to a tree. Really easy, and will never bind.
    For the knot you called the Tautline Hitch, it's better if the 2nd turn rides over the first, when tied around a line. You create an Awning Hitch, which will take the load. You then finish w/the last Half Hitch. See the Midshipman's Hitch for a demonstration.
    On modern synthetic line you might, rather, consider the Farrimond, Blake's, and Adjustable Grip Hitch.
    Finally, on your Trucker's Hitch, that slipped Overhand for your loop can become difficult to untie after a decent load. Consider making more twists before pulling a bight through. Also, consider the Bell Ringer's Knot (1/2 of a Sheep Shank), works really well.
    This is a nice collection for camping. I would consider adding a binding knot, like a Miller's Knot, or a slipped Strangle or Constrictor Knot, and the Double Sheet Bend. Always, discourage the use of a Reef (Square) Knot for bending. Also, the Sheet Bend is handy for grabbing the corner of a tarp, if, e.g., a grommet rips out.

  • @graemeo3440
    @graemeo3440 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    With the truckers hitch when you are pulling it tight it will loosen the moment you release tension, however, if you do a second wrap through the loop ensuring it is below the first you can pull it and it will hold the tension.

    • @martymorissette

  • @karoshi2
    @karoshi2 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    When doing a slipknot I tell myself to grab the side of the line I want to be mobile. So here it's meant to be fixed on the standing end, thus grab the working end (towards the tree) and you're fine.
    Only-thumbed as I am, I also managed to collapse the slipknot none the less (pulled to early on the wrong end). So instead of the slipknot you can also do an alpine butterfly or a double dragon. Only slightly more complicated and a little harder to undo, way more stable, though.
    Also from personal experience I'd advise against the open truckers hitch (only twists and bights) for camping. Super handy for tying load to a cart or truck. But when it's supposed to hold a few days it may slip open when the drag comes and goes due to wind or movement, or when the rope gets wet and slippery.
    Latter may well be because it wasn't tied properly in the first place, dunno.
    With constantly heavy load it's super secure, though. And you don't have to feed all the line through.

    Instead of the taut line hitch you should look at the farimond friction hitch: it is tied with a loop so can be better if you have a lot of line that will need to be pulled through a taut line.

    Loved this video. Super useful knots and demos that are easy to follow. I’m upping my tarp knot game after 35 years of using tarps without the proper knot technique but using the metal guyline hardware (it worked but having adjustable knots that are easy to pull out is so much better 😁). One video that would be super useful would be about rope management after you take the tarp down (do you leave them all attached or detach them from the tarp?). You never know how much you’ll need for each attachment point on the next trip and many might be too long or short. I’ve always left them attached and rolled up as you did but then sometimes end up having to add pieces next time, or what I have is much too long. It’s a fiddly and annoying thing and it would be interesting to see how you manage that part of the task.

      If a life depends on a knot as it might if using a bowline to hoist a person up to safety never use a slipped loop. If you grab the wrong end in a sudden movement, knot comes undone - injury or desth might ensue. Where it is only comfort/ease of use in consideraation such as the ridge line on a tarp , guylines or a washing line I always use a slipped loop.

    As a scout many decades ago, we were taught a trucker's hitch that did not require a knotted loop, and did not need the free end of the rope to be fed through the loop ! Only disadvantage was that it could "fall apart" without tension on it, so probably not really suitable for inexperienced people.

    @RandomCasualOrdinary 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like the Siberian Hitch. But I think your taut line hitch is a bit off. It will work and hold for a period of time the way you did it, but the third time around the standing line (the outside loop) should go in the same direction as the first two (inside the loop). When tied correctly it will look like two half hitches with an extra loop on the inside, and the knot will be stronger. If the free end comes out on the same side (and next to) the part that started the loop, then its not a true taut line hitch. When you loosen your taut line hitch, the knot can become loose. When you do all three loops in the same direction, the knot stays tight even when you loosen the hitch.
