Watch until the end for the easiest way to tie. This is just what I was looking for and it's so easy now. Great video. I thank you and the little Anole lizards in my garden thank you. They love running across it and it looks really cool in the succulent garden. Gives it that island vibe : )
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action! This now gives me an idea for a future video........... thanks 😉 😉 😉
Also a great knot to use, if you want to put a handle in a rope to help get a better pull. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I cannot exaggerate just how much I wish I would find myself in a position to use some of these knots! :) Maybe I should get a marlinspike and carry it around with me, in case of knot emergencies....
Nice, thanks. I conclude that a marlin spike ladder deployed upside down would be extremely dangerous. If that is correct, what would be a better hitch?
Yes, a very quick way of tying a slip knot too. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
Fabulous video, oddly I was not looking for this even though it was exactly what I needed. I came across it accidentally. Fantastic. I will say though you don't really have to explain every single little thing as if you're talking to an inattentive child. You do things very clearly so it's simple to understand even with the volume off. Nevertheless, many thanks.
I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them?

@@moradan81 Oh yeah, I forgot that I said that when I made the video. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I saw an example the other day on how to make one, must dig it out again. I wondered just how much cordage would be required, as there were a lot of turns for each rung.
love the part about the name, always wondered why its called that way. i use the hitch to tie off my hammock to a carabiner (second way you showed how to tie it)
depends on the way how your hammock attaches. since i dont have the adjustable straps for the tree side so i use a 6mm 5.5m static naylon rope. depending on the distance from the tree i either make a cow hitch around the tree and then tie the MSH with the doubled rope and pull a carabiner through or i use a running bowline. there are many ways to tie it of depends on what you have available. before i use carabiners i used to tie a clove hitch. i pref the MSH much easier to get it off after load is applied
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used! I would really like to start doing videos of knots in use in the field. Doing it on a table top is too easy, but with cold wet hands and lack of resources would make good viewing.
@@KnottingKnots im always up to see and learn now usage for stuff. Theres planty of it on youtube for bushcrafting (about 10 knots), but i bet the same knots have more usage then bushcraft. Why not how to use them around the house, workshop, or some other thing. I know some 20knots and use them more or less all for one purpuse or another, but basicaly it comes down to 5 or 7 that are mostly used. Lets be honest one doesnt use a figure of 9 on a bite often. Or a double bowline
I use a Marlin spike loop everyday tying my bike backin the lorry... Its easy to tie... Easy to undo... I have a small carved stick (fiddle stick) and I tie it with a slipped self locking hitch I call a kobe hitch.
Without tension on it, it is very easy to adjust. However, with tension, it will not slip. Just ensure that you have tied it in the right direction for weight to be loaded onto the Marlin Spike Hitch. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
This is just a very quick and easy way of doing it. Not recommended for permanent usage. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. You may also be interested in my Blog Posts here: igkt-solent.co.uk/blog/
According to my tape measure it is 10mm float line. Just make sure that the rope has a sufficient breaking strain to be used for that purpose. You may also be interested in my Blog Posts here: igkt-solent.co.uk/blog/ Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Thanks for this! Used the technique to hang my camp chairs off the floor horizontally in my flood-prone basement!

Just made a little ladder for a parakeet, an absolute success! Thanks a bunch for your tutorials ^^
Now make a video of the little chap climbing it................ or maybe pulling it to bits??
Thank you. I was able to make a rope ladder as my room decoration based on your instruction. It was very helpful.
Glad that it worked for you!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

Ah, I always have my Myerchin which has a Marlin Spike! Yes, I think in the future I should do videos out in the field, real life danger scenarios! 😉
Its always weird but fun carrying around a small stick in my pocket, with some paracord in place of a marlin spike ,to use as a T handle 😅😅
Nice, thanks. I conclude that a marlin spike ladder deployed upside down would be extremely dangerous. If that is correct, what would be a better hitch?
that is a neat property indeed, and thank you for pointing out that it's essentially a slipknot, didn't notice that while playing with it

The marlin spike knot is very essentialy. Thank you.
"The wife doesn't know yet...." Ha! I'm still LMAO.
Know what mate?
@@KnottingKnots I was referring to your joke "the wife doesn't know yet but she no longer has a mop". That got me laughing for like a minute.
@@moradan81 Oh yeah, I forgot that I said that when I made the video. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
This is knitting basically but much larger, heavier, and more durable.❤
Yes, it is only a temporary solution. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Nice video, actually just last weekend I was thinking of making a rope ladder but with tied rope steps rather than wooden steps
I saw an example the other day on how to make one, must dig it out again. I wondered just how much cordage would be required, as there were a lot of turns for each rung.
thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Putting a twist in the loop during the first way make s little bit different knot. Like a constrictor?
love the part about the name, always wondered why its called that way. i use the hitch to tie off my hammock to a carabiner (second way you showed how to tie it)
Now that is an interesting use of the MSH, is that a standard thing to do?

You need to v-notch the rungs to secure them better and Mark the dope at equal intervals to ensure adequate spacing.

It was amazing also

If it’s adjustable won’t it be moving when I use it?

@@KnottingKnots much respect brotha keep working 🤝
Where you got this knot
Not sure what you mean?
So it's just a slipknot?
Yes, if you turn the rope ladder upside down, then this would become useless 😉 😉 😉
when you will try this knot..another knot will appear,,that is more strong.

Noob here, what thickness of rope is that?
According to my tape measure it is 10mm float line. Just make sure that the rope has a sufficient breaking strain to be used for that purpose. You may also be interested in my Blog Posts here: igkt-solent.co.uk/blog/ Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I did it with the woodglut plans.
