      @@TheBearEssentials I'm really surprised I've never even heard of this knot, this should be in included in fundamental knots, it is astoundingly useful. The ability to tie it mid-line without the need for a running end really elevates the functionality. It doesn't bind so can be removed easily, cannot come undone, heck, that demo with the frayed end even allows for the option of joining 2 completely separate lines. There are so many application....

    This knot is indeed the queen of all knots. So useful! Thanks for sharing! Another good use for it is to create a series of loops in order to secure luggage on a backpack, in a trailer or on a sled. Il allows you to create an actual square mesh (kind of like a net, ##) instead of crossing lines diagonally (XX), which might slip more easily.

    Man you hit it out of the ball park, again. Been using the ABL forever but didn't think about using it in this fashion - just like the figure 8 jam knot you offer refinement for these knots and the ideas behind them. Every time I learn a new application for an old (or new) knot I'm gaining a new tool. Most people don't realize that instead of going out and buying a gadget, they can add some knowledge and 1)always have that "gadget" whenever they have proper cordage and 2)save money, of course. Really appreciate your content and great cinematography (going 24/48 fps is the way to do it). Why I'm subbed and notified.

      Using gloves or handling a vertical line you should use the snap method: With the right palm facing upward, bring the working end up forming a bight alongside the standing end. With your left hand, grab the left side of the bight and flip it to the left forming an "X" while taking the bight with your right hand.

    This knot when used for retrieving after throwing it up into a tree branch is a beautiful creation. Whoever designs knots like this is a true artist. To me it’s genius and as pleasing as music.

    Brilliant tutorial on tying. Brilliant suggestions on usage. Be aware of its enormous strength reduction in breaking strain

    This really is a great loop knot. I tie it by (a) twisting the bight twice (two half twists, i.e. 360 degrees, so it's sort of like there's an infinity sign next to the rope), (b) pulling the bight around the rope so it's behind the two crossing points, and then (c) reaching through the space between the crossing points and pulling the bight towards me.

      RagingGeekazoid The Fastest and Easiest is the Snap Method, and can be done in the dark: Using gloves or handling a vertical line - With the right palm facing upward, bring the working end up forming a bight alongside the standing end. With your left hand (thumb facing down), grab the left side of the bight and flip it to the left forming an "X" while taking the bight with your right hand.

    I have used this knot for years and never thought about it in the last application of retrieving the rope.
    On top of it, clear instruction, filming, and editing. I'm wondering where you got your ideas of how to create videos for TH-cam. Was it just watching other channels or a Udemy course, etc.?
    Great job and thank you.

      Thx so much. Honestly, I just started in June, bought a camera then, and started making vids.
      I mainly try to just teach in a visual way and imagine how I personally would like to be taught.
      I sit down and script the videos to make sure I’m covering and presenting everything in an easy to understand way.
      Then write down the shots I want to get. And then go film, edit, film more if need be and edit again.
      It’s a big workflow but Im really wanting to make helpful vids at the end of the day - and the helpful comments are so nice to read!

    Really great abrasion resistance and though I've never put the Big Game line th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQ4x31pJVpClzhxzNFeILZYTW7Xbs7ZIF (any poundage) through an official test it always seems to break well above rated poundage. This line stretches a very good amount before it breaks and does well in saltwater too. Not the best line for a spinning reel in my opinion, especially if you're planning on using it for lures only due to it having a bit of memory but still a great line whether filling a spool, using as top shot or strictly for leader line. I've bought a bunch of Big game line in the past and plan on continuing to do so in the future.

    This knot is a load bearing knot acceptable for use in climbing too, for mid-rope attachment or isolating a damaged section of rope

  • @stevenscott2136

    That tree-branch trick reminded me of something from a Stephen King book. In Book 3 of his "Dark Tower" series, King has his hero (Roland) get down from a high place by rope, and when one of the others comments that they can't get the rope back, the super-competent Roland wordlessly tugs on the rope and it drops to the ground.
    I wondered for days how that could be done! And now two decades later, here's the answer. 👍
