One knot I particularly like is the Zepplin, either loop or bend. Secure and easily undone even after strain. Another trick is when tensioning a trucker's hitch arrangement is to feed the working end twice through the loop which creates a jamming mechanism so you do not lose any tension when tightening. Use these all the time.
@MD76MAC I’m laughing with you because your comment is so silly. You don’t know very much about knots do you. I get it, you’re a TROLL! TROLL alert everyone, beware the TROLL.
Excellent explanation on how to tie this knot through another item (in your case an eye bolt). Thanks for taking the time to make this. I am using this knot to tie in my speed bar on my powered paraglider. It does not slip at all.
Well done. The best video I’ve seen on this. Best verbal descriptions, best camera angles, and showing applications of the knot in the same video as the one for how to tie it makes it a complete lesson. Excellent.
I've liked this knot for some time now. And the main use I would give to it is to tie a rope around a tree or tree-like estructure. I was able to do it a couple times but not without a struggle and you just showed me an easy way to do it. Thank You!
Showing us the various ways of making the Perfect Knot really made me UNDERSTAND the knot Especially when you showed the 4th method, going through the an object. It is a really simple and strong knot. Putting a bite into it to make it a quick release is icing on the cake! Thank you!
I've been using bowlines forever as my favorite fixed loop knot. But the advantage the perfection loop knot has, especially if you tie it with the quick-release method shown at the end of the video, is that it can come completely loose with just a pull on the working end. The bowline is made with an overhand knot in it. Still, I find the bowline can be undone easily, no matter how much tension it has been under. I've had bowlines in ropes for years out in the weather, and still been able to untie them easily. I'm going to start practicing the perfection loop and it may just turn out to be my new favorite fixed loop knot! Thank you!
I cannot stress enough how much your knots ans tutorials based on the case need have been helpful for me. I 99% of the time make paracord braclets, but knowing surviival and functional knots are just as important. Again, thank you!
At about 04:30 I was going to "click-away" from this video because I needed to know about tying a loop "around" something and up to that point all the examples were tying a free/loose loop. I'm glad I stuck around and watched the entire video.👍
In all honesty, the perfection knot is great for fishing line, but I see little use in other applications when other knots work better. Either they are less likely to untie, or they are easier to untie when you need to break down camp.
Really thorough and informative, thanks for this. I knew this knot, but never realized that it could be tied in the middle of a line instead of an alpine butterfly, and could be tied in slipped form instead of a kalmyk.
As an Troop Leader with over 12 yrs experience, you have helped My troop in learning simple and not so simple knots... has helped our hammock campers IMMENSELY... Thank You Guys for Everything...
Thanks so much for writing! We are so glad to hear we made a part of camping easier. Also, thank you for your efforts as a troop leader. You are inspiring the the next generation of campers!
Thanks! I have searched everywhere to find a loop to go through holes in my tool handles and my mom's grabber handle hole without a big bulky knot on the end. A suggestion, show a video doing a handle with a hole in it and a grabber handle with a loop in it for hanging.
This is a very good video showing the four ways, especially how to create the loop through a closed ring or where you cannot slip the loop over the fixing point. The use of a slip knot technique is also very useful. Thank you very much.
this knot and the trucker hitch knot video definitely helped me install my Shade sail in my backyard if u have any suggestions for knots for shade sails let me know , awesome series.
Saw another video on this knot where someone grabbed the line in both hands; turned the one with the standing end slightly to make a bite; whipped the other hand so the working end flew around the standing end, through their arm, and between the line leaving a bite on that hand; and finally passed the working bite through the standing bite to complete the knot. Adding the slip just involves feeding the working end back between the bites before cinching them down.
I'm all for learning new knots (if only for the sake of learning new knots 😁), and sometimes a lesser known knot turns out to be better than a traditional knot. For instance, I now exclusively use the farimond in place of both the taut-line or the prussic. Having said all that, what are the strength characteristics of the perfection loop vs the bowline as this would be the only reason I would switch uses?
Have you ever seen a "flying bowline"? Well I can tie a "flying perfection knot" in the blink of an eye. Pretty cool. I think you would like it. Enjoyed your wrap around version; like an Alpine Loop. '
I noticed that method number 2 finishes out so the working end of the rope becomes the load-bearing part of the rope instead of the free end. The other three methods keep the working end the non-load bearing part of the rope.

What is your favorite camping knot?
Tout-line. Perfection Loop is pointless.
Trucker's Hitch.

I do the same thing. Excellent advice
Bowline Hitch. I like the story of the rabbit coming out of the hole, going around the tree, and back into the hole.
I've been using this knot a little bit. I love your different explanations and showing it from different directions.
Not only informative and clearly made, but your video made me smile more than once; thanks!
The King of knots is the bowline.

Such a tool.
Awesome tips and great knots. Really one of my favorites!
Good stuff! The perfection knot is a very useful fishing knot as well
what an excellent teacher

Thus should&would be explained every knot which is logical easy to understand❗️💪👌👏🙏
A great knot for tying a loop in the end of a bungee cord

Which other knots are you referring to?
Thank you very much for spending your time and showing the different ways to tie this knot. Awesome!!!
Cool video, and very informative. I am going to give this one a try against the Siberian, the taut line, and the bowline. Thanks for posting.
Right on!
Really thorough and informative, thanks for this. I knew this knot, but never realized that it could be tied in the middle of a line instead of an alpine butterfly, and could be tied in slipped form instead of a kalmyk.
Superb video and very helpful and well explained.
I' learned this as the"Angler's loop"

Favorites: Marlin spike, larks head, bowline, double davy and now the Perfection Loop.
Hi Crash, thanks for watching. That's cool the perfection loop made your favorite list.

I like the Hanson Loop better. Plus it is simpler to tie.
Try tieing that knot one handed, as you can tie the bowline onehanded.
I noticed that method number 2 finishes out so the working end of the rope becomes the load-bearing part of the rope instead of the free end. The other three methods keep the working end the non-load bearing part of the rope.
I have neuropathy in my hands and have taken up knot tying as a hobby/therapy...thank you.
Excellent Therapy! Thanks for watching!
So why this knot?
I personnaly prefer the double dragon loop knot ; easier to remember, easier to untie without a "trick", and as strong as the perfection loop.
But why would you use this over a bowlin?
Know it's 🪢 knot
Ours is knot to question why...
Getting started at 2:14
AWESOME!!!
4:00 In my experience the standing end is usually the working end 😅
it may sound l am in the bowline cult but maybe don’t use the perfection loop with a loop with load and you are going to untie
5:20
Your segment on the 3rd version is one of the worst instructional knot sequences I've ever seen
The guy is kinda creepy, reminds me of Steve Buscemi, and please clip those claws, wow.
Idiot
