Butterfly Knot

How to tie a Butterfly knot

[@dvk578]

Someone needs to do one of these videos where they set up an actual campsite and show each of these knots in use real world while discussing their advantages and disadvantages...

[@LifeAtHighAltitude]

This is more of a mountaineering knot

[@MysticMonkeyMiracle]

Amen

[@odetomykitten]

Used to seperate a damaged part of the rope.

Hi,
You are the best teacher by showing step by step as you explain the steps…

[@richardkeilig4062]

Super description.

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

I learned this knot many years ago in the Army . When setting up a shelter half , I would tie two of these ‘ Alpine butterfly’ knots in the the apex / ridge line , a bowline on one end and a truckers hitch on the opposite end , each end anchored between the two trees . This is the line you would drape your shelter half over , the two butterfly knots could then be used to hang a lantern / flashlight above so you could have suspended lighting inside your tent …. And also hang other items that needed to be reached inside the tent , or used for hanging wet socks etc … also tie them in your guylines for hanging things like chemlights or whatever on the outside to identify your bivouac site in the dark . So many useful things with these knots .

[@bobamis]

People are asking what this knot is good for. It is a knot that creates a loop in the middle of the rope and you don't need to access the ends. But most important, it holds in all directions (up, down, and to the side), and perhaps most important, it unties very easily.

[@JBplumbing12]

I used this knot yesterday when constructing a dog harness. It is a secure and good looking knot.

[@coffelta]

I usually tie the Alpine butterfly using three concentric wraps around my hand and then bringing the middle loop under, over, and under the last loop. This slight variation by crossing the third loop, over the hand actually makes a big difference. I think the knot dresses up better in the end, and I can better manage the size of the finished loop. Thanks for the little modification.

[@GotEmAll1337]

easiest method I've seen, thanks

[@CatatonicOne]

You are a great teacher, Thank you for the knowledge.

[@no-pl6jc]

This is a badass knot, always used to tie this for a quick rigging point mid line for crane ops or any rigging ops because you can always get it untied

[@LeahB451]

Thanks

[@wafikiri_]

When I was 12, this is the knot I made to keep the shade rolled up everyday. But I couldn't do it the way the video shows, because the rope was always in tension. I just kept the tension with my left fist, made the knot with my right hand's fingers, and it all took like six or eight seconds. Then I hooked a permanent sling at the rope's end on a hook in the window frame's lower edge.
If I were to repeat that knot today, I'd be in trouble, were it not for your video. Thanks a lot.

[@richardkeilig4062]

Excellent , and well done. I will use this in firefighting training.

[@AnthonyStabler]

It's good for making a loop in the middle of a rope that you don't have access to the ends, and it's very secure but easy to undo.

[@talixlucenara1131]

Nice beautyful

[@tgeliot]

Thanks. Videos that teach how to make a knot without telling what that knot is useful for are annoying.

[@yamspaine]

If you end up revisiting knots, please add info on how it is used? or make a video with many knots and scenarios and explain. I subscribed!

[@John-gj1jr]

@@tgeliot If you can't imagine what to use this knot for, or any other knot for that matter, you probably don't need a rope anyway.

Thanks again 👍

I see much less memorable techniquesbfor the same knots but you seem to share great ways to learn and tie the knots. It takes real talent and effort to come up with these techniques.

So Cool.
Truth is we can use these knots more than you think if we could just remember them.

This is similar to the Alpine Knot but I like the symmetry of this one.

[@samuelgregarek97]

This is called the alpine butterfly

[@Azdesertman2011]

Great knot easy to tie
Thanks.

[@crisnevin7934]

I was trying to think of a nice way to say this, thank you for coming up with it lol

[@michalmrowicki]

Really nice and easy tutorial!! Thanks 👍

[@richardgamez2139]

My 2¢; I use it to tighten down any load on my pick up truck or on top of my SUV; kayaks,fishing equipment, bicycles even the dining room table! As you can actually tighten it down further for better tension and security. Peace of mind while driving down the highway at 80 miles an hour😅

[@sticksandstones704]

Works well with a truckers hitch

[@tenncutt]

New subscriber, enjoy all the knots. I was a boy scout about 100 years ago. Have you ever thought about showing us the knot at normal speed followed by the slower tutorial? Just a thought

[@knotknut]

I have been trying to keep videos under a minute. I do have longer videos on the channel. Moving forward I will probably make two videos per knot, one long and one short.

[@bludwurm]

This knot is good for fishing. Put the weight at the end of the line then put multiple butterfly knots up the line. Then you can put the loop through the eye of the hook and wrap it song the hook securing it.

[@11bravo18]

Very cool method for smaller stuff.

[@jiraiyamontanez2237]

Im not even gonna mention what my brain saw😂🤣

[@allie19726]

Hello Mr Nut
May I be so bold as to suggest that to complete the lesson, adding what the knot is or may be used for or what situations it may be useful in. I'm a
BIG FAN ( ex sailor )

[@knotknut]

I think I will be redoing a few videos and I will add what the knot is used for. It is hard to get the information into a one minute video but will try.

[@marionshepherd7205]

Yes, please do explain several uses for the knots.

[@knotknut]

There are many ways in the comments section to give you some uses for this knot. I like to use it as an attachment point in the middle of a rope. It can also be used to take a bad section of rope out a system.

Emergency rope ladder…loops hold tight.. but knots can still be untied.

[@knotknut]

That is a good use of the knot, never heard of it being used that way. Makes perfect sense, good loop and easy to tie.

[@azur2213]

It’s very nice to learn how to make different kinds of knots,but I don’t know where I can apply these . Please mention it. If it is possible.

[@pootzmagootz]

Creating a loop in the middle of a line if both ends are unavailable. You could use this loop as a hitch for a tent line if you wish or even hang items from it. Very useful and easy to untie

[@brianjohns7699]

[@mattlee4807]

This would be good to use with a trucker’s hitch.

[@knotknut]

Absolutely, I show it on my channel being used as a truckers hitch.

[@IAmNoeyes]

Pretty rad.

[@manp1039]

what is the purpose of a butterfly knot? and how is it not better to and/or easier to just gather of a bit of rope in the center into a half hitch and tie a simple knot into it?

[@ianfleischhacker6154]

Zero fat on that!

[@deantinney9120]

EXAMPLE:
First: Wrap one end of a strong 25 FOOT long rope; as high as you can safely reach, around a tree that is at least 8 inches in diameter. Then tie a BOWLINE knot to secure it there.
Next: Pull the other end of the rope to a second tree, about 12 to 15 feet away. Tie the rope to the tree using a secure adjustable knot, such as CLOVE HITCH, TRUCKERS HITCH, OR OTHER TYPE, Leaving about 6 feet of slack rope between the 2 trees.
Next: At the mid point of the slack space in rope, Tie a BUTTERFLY KNOT.
Next: from the mid point, tie one BUTTERFLY KNOT about 8 inches to the left and another BUTTERFLY KNOT 8 inches to the right of the mid point KNOT.
Next: tie other BUTTERFLY KNOTS in both directions, (toward each tree) about 18" to 24" apart, til you reach the tree, where you tie a BUTTERFLY KNOT near the tree.
Next. You can now tighten the rope, very very tightly stretched, using the ADJUSTABLE KNOT.
Next: You now have a foundation rope that can be used for several things, such as:
TARP SHELTER, that has points for support poles, lights, etc. Find a rock that is bigger than the loop, push some tarp up through the loop, sit the rock above loop and the tie PARACORD around the outside of the trapped rock, so it secures the loop,rock & tarp.
Next: repeat until you have completed a shelter that is one sided or two sided.
Use the same method of making tie points for the tarp at ground level, to form a tent or half shelter.
TIE LINE for horses.
HANGING STORAGE for packs, bags, etc.
Use your imagination. I learned this kind as a 9 year old kid in a camping club, so I think you can do it.

[@knotknut]

An excellent use for multiple butterfly knots.

[@muhammadbanrasbloachbloach4442]

Thinku so very much

[@fabianf.7089]

Is it as easy to undo after putting a load on it as the conventional alpine butterfly knot?

[@ScottGrow117]

What it for? You hang food from it? Dangle balls from it? Hook fish from it? What it for?

[@austingode]

So it’s a bite rather than a knot ? Like a bowline ? What’s it’s principal use ?
Love your shorts

[@knotknut]

A great way to make an attachment point in the middle of a rope when you don’t have the ends. If you read the comments, ppl have put a lot of its uses on here.

[@jamesbowden1201]

If you have a cut in a rope , use the alpine butterfly (this knot) and have the nick or cut in the loop and the rope can still be used as normal.

[@johnrap7203]

Yes, it is a knot used to make a fixed loop in the middle of a rope. It is also much easier to undo than other loops.

[@aj.3177]

[@knotknut]

It's a good midline knot, meaning it's a way to put a bight (attachment point) in your rope if you don't have the ends. I will use it to build mechanical advantages like 3:1's and 9:1's. I will be posting videos of this in the future and hopefully it will make sense.
