In this video I demonstrate how to make a simple, temporary ladder using the marline spike hitch. A few ways of tying the marline spike hitch: • Marline spike hitch Enjoy!
EXCELLENT.....EXCELLENT....EXCELLENT....I've watched 3 other videos of home-made rope emergency ladders and yours is the ONLY ONE that actually explains and SHOWS CLEARLY what has to be done. No un-necessary talk or elaborate historical explanations....just get on with the job. I'm SO grateful you took the time to do this for us. We own a large 3 story house and this will permit us to not worry about escape if we ever need to....and I truly hope we never need to use it but just having this and practising using it will make our lives so much easier.

These tricks are old,but in the modern world,it has been lost.Nowdays,children r busy in their phones.Atleast I will encourage my children to not only see these tubes more but to practice it too.As by doing so,they will be becoming more creative. Thank you so much.
Vielen Dank für das Video. Es ist eine sehr einfache und gute Anleitung. Wer mehr Sicherheit möchte, kann die Knoten mit einer Polyester Schnur ( 1 mm ) sichern, dann kann auch das Holz nicht raus fallen beim aufrollen der Leiter.
Notches in the sticks, where the knots tighten, can aid in keeping the ropes from sliding on the sticks. Can definitely help with safety and convenience (as long as you don't notch them _too_ much)
What I also found was when you slip the loop over the end of the rod if you put a twist in it (as I accidentally did) before you slide it over, you end up with a constrictor knot. This works quite well because when you pull the rope ladder up and there is no tension on the hitches the rods are less likely to fall out as the constrictor knot holds them firmly in place. Also they are easy to undo when you pull the rods out.
You don't need to pass the whole long rope through the ring to attach both. Fold the rope in half, feed it though the ring, bend the rope over the superior part of the ring and pull upside the superior part of the ring. Both will attach. Or in other words; fold the rope in half, feed it though the ring, and pass the ring through the loop.
Thank you so much for this descriptive video shown so clearly , I needed this to make a small ladder for my Budgies using ice-cream sticks . Love love 💝💝💝💙💙💙
Thanks a lot Mark. I finally managed to make my own monkey ladder. It would be great for climbing a low branch of a tree during hunting. I think, if I may suggest, the most suitable rope size is not less than 12mm and made of sisal.. Happy climbing guys.
For reasons unbeknownst to me I find that 6mm accessory climbing rope is by far cheaper than any natural material of similar strength. And of course it is more abrasive, water, sun etc resistant. It is just uglier in general.
How well would this work with nylon or polyester rope and square aluminum tubing? It looks like a very easy and practical ladder. Thanks for sharing this with us.
A nice simple knot with a good use. I might add that the wood needs to be inspected each time along with the rope. It won't do to break your step in two.
Many thanks for this excellent idea and well detailed illustration how to create a rope ladder. Thank You for this very useful and bright idea that you have presented.
The initial larks head could be made much more simply: once the bight has been threaded through the ring, open it and flip it over the ring. No lengthy feeding through needed.
Tried doing it with some paracord and some dowels that were laying around. Hitches came loose very easily under strain. I'm guessing it's probably way more secure with the kind of rope he's using.
Хорошая идея. Думаю - как зафиксировать узлы на перекладинах. Может быть тонкой капроновой веревкой , узлом констриктор. Не совсем понятно, для чего продлевать ходовые концы в металлическое кольцо, если можно просто перекинуть через него веревочную петлю. Получится тот же коровий узел. В общем, лестница для засидки есть. Второй вопрос - как связать помост между двумя деревьями. Без гвоздей и проволочных хомутов, веревкой?
I find that if you make a twist in the loop before it is placed over the end of the stick it makes a much better lock that does not loosen up if pulled in either direction.
Love your accent and teaching style. The pacing is perfect for me. ❤️

Thank you Mark for this simple and easy explanation on making a hitch ladder for out in the forest where it might be useful. Just awesome!
Wow, I was looking for a simple way to make a ladder, and I got here I needed a channel, I already got my like and subscription😀

Good idea! Cutting out "notches", where the rope can rest, as for the finish end?
I'd end it the same way, as in the video with a "diamond knot!"
@@luistrevino3505 .
Watching you tie those knots the rope ladder is so satisfying!
no it isn't
Thank you so much. I keep learning new things everyday.
I'm my kids heroe because of guys like you, sometimes.
Awesome. I was planning to make a ladder from twigs for climbing plants in my garden. Thank you so much. This is very helpful.

Fantastic add on.
Saw the video just now, but had exactly the same idea! Adding a twist to the loop, makes the construction much more stabile
Sir...you need to run for President.
I done the same thing by accident😂😂 I bet a lot of these knots we have today were discovered by accident
I need this ladder to climb down into a steep ravine. Also working on a steep bank. Thank you.
great video, very well explained.Thank you for information

Diamond knot?
Thanks Mark! You made a simple easy to understand. Video any can follow and be successful in making this stick and rope ladder. 👍

Larks foot can be tied on ring by pushing loop through the ring and pulling loop over the entire ring and down. Nice spike demo. Thanx
Very useful and easy.
Congrats.
Wow nice and simple knots,thnx for sharing
Thank you mate, awesome video, what a very handy knot !!!
Maravilha! Dica excelente! Obrigado por compartilhar!! (Like # 481)
Abraços do Sul do Brasil!
Very nice, thanks for sharing!
I wish I had known how to do this ladder when I was a kid! Think of all the kewl stuff I could have gotten myself out of!
Think of all the kewl trouble you could have gotten into!
Thank you so much you are amazing that was so helpful

It would be cute (at least it is desirable for me) you to be the hunted animal... And.., why not..??
Good idea super information
Thanks for the excellent explanation to make a ladder
Thank you. much appreciated for the instruction and the video.
Muchas gracias por tu fantastico video!
Me parece una buena solución y muy práctico.
Voy a fabricar una escalera para mi

Gracias, por sus vídeos son muy instructivos.
Thank you so much for your video..!!! Really useful..
That will be a handy thing to know. Thx

Indeed, an important step!

Wow thanks for shirring I just learned how cool you are the greats teacher.will put it to work thanks again.
Brilliant explanation!
Thank you, this is very helpful. There is an easier way to tie ring on rope bight.
Push loop through and fold around ring. :^))
It can be untied same way, not very reliable knot.
Thank you for sharing. I always wonder how this ladder made now i got the answer
The initial larks head could be made much more simply: once the bight has been threaded through the ring, open it and flip it over the ring. No lengthy feeding through needed.
To be frank, attaching the wooden piece to rope was wonderful idea, thanks.
2:00 it’s much easier to circle the loop around the ring than to stretch the entire rope through the loop))))
Thank you Sr. Nice presentation.
Very good 👍 my thatha friend
Exelente explicacion con todo detaye ,, saludos
Thank you Mark.. Nice work
Very easy and useful knot!!
What a great survival video now I have a way to get to my hammock up high in the tree video downloaded
Tried doing it with some paracord and some dowels that were laying around. Hitches came loose very easily under strain. I'm guessing it's probably way more secure with the kind of rope he's using.
Very well explained
Very good technic. Thank you very much.
Amazing work man.!!! I love it.!!!!
Merci beaucoup pour la bonne vidéo

Suggest to use prusik on the two green strings.
Very useful man...thanks a lot

Legendary. Thank you!
Simply great
Very simple technic...
