Thanks for watching! If you'd like to support the Channel, I made a Knot Tying Reference Card + Practice Ropes to follow along with the videos! www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV4K2LSX?maas=maas_adg_F7AE5C95AE226DF61DB510B64731B6A7_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas&th=1
Thank you for sharing that fact, acually really helped me decide which knott to use for combining multiple ropes for my kids tire swing. I guess your comment sorta depends on how much you value life...lol, jk, I'm sure a lot, obviously living it up too :)
The algorithm got it right today. I have always had an interest in knots. I find this video far more helpful than the diagrams and written instructions I’ve read in books. Thank you.
@@TheBearEssentials Fished in a number of places around the world but home is The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) out of Galveston, TX. About 175 mi. out toward int'l waters. Fish for different sp. on the way out and on the way back. Takes about 2.5 days for full trip.
@@Wilder-Minds I stick to the smaller black fin tuna nowadays, as larger ones of a couple hundred pounds will ruin the back, shoulders and neck. This isn't a yacht, or boat with fight seat rig, it's rough and tumble party boat all the way. It's too expensive for me to fish much anymore but if you want to go, I can give you the info. and you will need to use your own tuna rig, which I can tell you about. Let me know.
A marlin spike is a great tool to have to help undo these knots... and others. It's a sailor's tool, but such a good thing to have on land too. Bosun' approved.
I saw an older video of the Beckett and Sheet bend is one used more often for ropes with two different diameters. The fisherman’s is used more readily for ropes of equal diameter. If you wanted to go overboard one could tie two half hitches on each end as “safety knots.”
@@DJake78 yes, but less secure ofcourse. You won’t catch anyone looking for a reliable knot for climbing etc using no a sheet or Beckett. That’s the main difference
After tying a square knot on my bracelet and it just suddenly untying itself, it was time to learn a new knot! This one is elegantly simple and incredible strong! Thanks for the simple and effective lesson on it!
Excellent description of this knot. I was struggling with it but the way you walked through it made a lot more sense than some other resources. Can’t wait to use it at work this week!
Sat down last night and made a single line out of a bunch of scraps I had just for practice, and discovered this knot also makes for a handy light-load tensioning knot too. Especially after it has held a load on it and is nice and tight. Strong enough to support a blanket roof on a PVC fort at least!
Another great video! I've been meaning to re-learn sheet bends but that knot looks epic. You also answered my question about what to do if I want something I can untie. Thank you!
Great knot. I used it to tie a metal grille behind my climber friend's wedding car..it rattled as he and his bride drove off. He knew it was me, as only a climber would have used that knot ;-)
I just learned this knot using paracord. I made a few bracelets and used this knot on the ends to create a slide closure type for the bracelet. They also explained how one side would have an 'X' and the other side would have an '=' equal sign. Easy to tie. I don't care using it for paracord bracelets tho. They are hard to tighten with one hand.
I know I’m gonna come back and watch this like 10 times! Gonna have to use this for tying anchor lines for floating wakeboarding obstacles at my wake park!
Not by a huge amount, if you’re using it for everyday tasks then it won’t matter, if you’re depending on it, then you’ll want to make sure they’re snug!
At 1:50 you mention that the X’s and parallel lines must match on both knots, but what’s to keep you from rotating one of the knots 180º until the two shapes match up? Either way, is it somehow less secure if the two knots are tied by both looping over the other line (and not alternating)?
Try it out, it’s kind of hard to explain but if you try to rotate it the line ends up in a twist. It’s probs not less secure if the X and = are cross lined up, it just doesn’t snug up against each other as nicely.
I've always liked the figure eight bend with the ends terminated in double overhand knots. I mean I don't know if it reduces rope strength more than the double fisherman's bend.
Hey! Depends which application you’re wanting it for. I’m releasing my own line in February, if you can wait until then. If not, lmk your applications and I’ll direct you to the best types for it :)
@@michaelm3404 Kk ill have practice ropes coming out then too. Id recommend finding in the meantime a 8mm-10mm max nylon rope. On amazon I'm sure you could find a couple. If you wait a little ill have em available with my knot tying booklet too!
I have a question Does anyone know where I can get paracord in SA for a reasonable price Specifically so I can have some quality rope to practice his knots

Fun fact, we use this knot in hang gliding. I trust it with my life on every flight.
Thx for adding some credibility to this vid, much appreciated!!
Knots are so cool. How something so simple can be so powerful.
@@TheBearEssentialsLove your vids, keep it up!
That work for me lol

Short, on point, well filmed - Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Very clear instructions. I wish every TH-cam tutorial was as well done as this.👍
Thank you!
Always wanted to know knots better. Your channel has helped with that so much.

Tuna fisherman here. Love this knot and all your videos!
Where do you tuna fish!? That’s incredible!!! And thank you

@@shashakeeleh5468 How big tuna do you catch? Would you ever take a person like myself out for a rip?

Happy I came across your video. I kept getting cross matched because I went the same direction each time. Much appreciated!
Double fisherman's knot... Probably it is the knot I have been using the most... Thanks for the video!
A marlin spike is a great tool to have to help undo these knots... and others. It's a sailor's tool, but such a good thing to have on land too. Bosun' approved.
Thank you for including the different use cases between this and the zeppelin bend!
Right on, ya for sure. I love em both. I’ll make a longer form on the zep soon I think
The #1 Most Helpful channel. Thank you DJ.

It's been 2 weeks and my friend still cant untie his shoes 🤣 tysm
Practical, I'll try this knot next time going camping 😍🔥👌🍻💯
Right on!! Glad it helps.
You're almost 1m subs. Keep it up! Thank you for teaching me these knots, this is a game changer for camping especially those tool you make!
Thanks a bunch!! Super happy for the nice messages and support

I'm left handed, recorded video and flipped it, now can tie this knot with eyes closed, THANKS! Loops in, Tail out
Amazing Knot. And great video ty
Hey DJ Knotty boy!
Thanks for throwin in the cool tips! ❤
Handy knot and nice video. Thank you for sharing!
Any time!
Always Awesome! 👊🏻👍🏻Thank you DJ! 🙏🏻 God Bless
Appreciate you my friend
Good stuff
@TheBearEssentials The ropes you use are works of art in themselves 😀 are those braided polypropylene ropes? Thanks DJ!
Yes they are! Good eye.
I’m launching 3ft versions of these with my knot tying book in a couple weeks - check it out if you want brother!
@@TheBearEssentials awesome, thanks. I’ll look out for it! 👊🏼
You’re doing the lords work
YAY!!!❤❤ ("first")
Your content is so valuable 🥰
Thx!!
Another good one.
Thx!
Does the cross and parallel pattern not aligning side by side cause it to be weaker?
Not by a huge amount, if you’re using it for everyday tasks then it won’t matter, if you’re depending on it, then you’ll want to make sure they’re snug!
Could this be usefulwhen joining yarns for knitting?
I did exactly that but with one coil, just slipknot, it worked
Been needing this one for a while lol

upload more video solo camping please
😊
Headed out soon for a winter one :)
Wow, good to know!! Thank you!
Nice
Where are these beautiful forests that you are camping in (in which country)
Canada ! Southern Ontario :)
Yes, zeppelin for temporary connecting (easy untie) and grapevine for permanent banding. That's both are my favorites.
Thank you
Solid gold.
Love your videos and You are Super Good Looking...
What can I say that it nourishs the brain
majestic
What kind of rope do you use? Please share a link!
Hey! Depends which application you’re wanting it for. I’m releasing my own line in February, if you can wait until then. If not, lmk your applications and I’ll direct you to the best types for it :)
@@TheBearEssentials for knot tying practice, so not too thick or thin
@@michaelm3404 Kk ill have practice ropes coming out then too. Id recommend finding in the meantime a 8mm-10mm max nylon rope. On amazon I'm sure you could find a couple. If you wait a little ill have em available with my knot tying booklet too!
How different is this knot from the double uni knot? They look almost identical
I have a question
Does anyone know where I can get paracord in SA for a reasonable price
Specifically so I can have some quality rope to practice his knots
Hey! I’ll have a kit coming out soon !
@@TheBearEssentials sick thanx
Anyone else doing this on their hoodie strings at 11:30 ?
What type of rope is that? Can I get it at Lowe’s or Home Depot lol?
It’s 10mm nylon rope! I’ll be releasing some soon!
You can’t get this exact one there but similar kernmantle ropes
In the end, it was my brain that ended up in knot.
Isn't this guy the Winter solider?
I saw that sly smile at the end when talking about the 69 knot
chers
That called a uni knot when you use it for fishing.
W
Wow you actually think that is a good idea
It's called a love knot.
Outstanding video tutorial, DJ!
Great instruction, tips, and filming. As always... enjoy your excellent quality content.
Cheers & Happy Trails!

This knot is also awesome for adjustable cord necklaces!💛🤍💜🖤
