Hey James! Rock climber here. Two, well three, very easy knots (especially the on a bite versions) are the double figure of 8 (this is awesome for droptanks) and the double bowline. A very easy to make, good for clipping in (proven by alpinists who secure their live with that on glaciers) and also very easy to undo after you put a lot of tension on it would be the Alpine Butterfly. So again: 1. Double figure of 8 (Extreme secure and easy to do on a bite) 2. Double bowline (Super easy do to on a bite if you know how an overhand is made) 3. Alpine Butterfly (Choice of hardcore glacier climbin and easy to undo even after loading it)
Hi James, you might consider the "butterfly" and "clove hitch" in addition. Butterfly is great to place a loop in a certain position in the middle of a rope. Clove hitch is great to have a very fast attachment at poles or rings.
Great info, thanks for this weekly tutorials. I will like to add to bowline info: as a rock climber I learned that under certain circumstances the bowline may slip, especially with New lines/ropes (climbers use ropes) so if a live will depend on that knot, then end it with a double fisherman's knot (better yet use an eight knot)
Two knots I already know, the last one and the one to know kot two lines together, but I never knew their name. I don't know if you were a fan of those top ten thing, but have you ever thought about to a video about your top ten knots or top twelve. :)
Very helpful refresher on knots 👍 PS: in the fire brigade I learned a stronger version of the last knot used for fixating yourself when you lower someone or something on a rope. (so a very reliable and quick to open knot) In German it is called "Achternknoten". It's almost as simple as the knot in the video :)
It's a figure eight on a bight. I learned about that knot (and the more common double figure eight) when I learned to rock climb as a kid. Its basically adding another half twist to the overhand loop and should be a much stronger knot to use for that application.
The real beauty of the bowline is that no matter the load you put on the knot, it’s never going to bind up to the point you can’t undo it like say the square knot or others.
I wonder what the naming history of the reef knot is. I learned that knot to be a square knot. It could just be a regional difference as I learned in the Boy Scouts in the US.
Although Unlikely I don't think the fishermen knot is appropriate to be around your neck, it is possible to be strangled if something gets into where you suggest putting the mouthpiece and pulls the person could be strangled.
Your sheet bend is unfortunately incorrect. When finished, both "tails" of the knot need to be on the same side, instead of pointing off opposite like that. The solution is to go under and through on the other side. Tied incorrectly like that the knot can collapse.

I love the fact that you have Jaws(?) running in the background! 😂
I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed...
Good choice of knots from a US Coastie
Thanks Jeff!
Hi James,

I'd have chosen a figure 8 on a bite over the overhand, but good choices.
i was always terrible at knots because i had trouble with left and right
this videos a keeper
Brings back memories of doing mountain climbing with the ripe lines ect. Great refresher.
Thanks
I will be showing this to my Boy Scout Troop as a primer for their Second Class Badge. 🙂
Well done, sir.
Scout Salute!
cool
I love this video I went from “can’t tie knots tie lots” to knowing what I’m doing haha

Perfect timing, just started my online learning for the master rescue course.
Best of luck!
You explain the fisherman knot by mentioning half hitch knot. Teach us both!
I also use a modified reef knot by securing the short ends in another knot.
I'm early to this one. Warming up in Northwest Florida ready to get in the water

I use ropes 😂😉🤠
Aww you missed out on tying up a boltsnap! Perfect video for that!
We have a whole separate video on that! th-cam.com/video/SWYKXOGd9So/w-d-xo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Have you ever found anything if value. Maybe pirates treasure chest or maybe a box full of some kind of valuables?

'Jaws" in the background... You're gonna need a bigger boat.
Jaws on the background. Love it!
Glad you like it!

And now I have to go watch Jaws and practice my knots
Reef knot - Right over left and under - Left over right and THROUGH. 😉😇
Flashbacks to my psd training lol
Thanks James .. JAWS in the background :-)
If you dont know knots, tie lots.
Are we going to see a video on cowboy scuba diving? 🤔
There's a different channel out there that covers cowboy scuba diving.
I wonder what the naming history of the reef knot is. I learned that knot to be a square knot. It could just be a regional difference as I learned in the Boy Scouts in the US.
My understanding is that "reef" comes from reefing sails.
I was always taught that a line is a rope that is in use.
Sailors > On land rope, on a boat line

Wow thanks for the chapters 🤦♂️

😎👍🤿❤️
You missed off the "Alpine Butterfly", by far the most applicable knot after the Bowline and Fisherman's.
Oh I just tried this one. I like it :)
Not for scuba diving. I know that knot, but I can't say I've ever used it for scuba.
@@DiversReady It's good for putting a loop into the middle of a line. I use it every now and again.
