I know maybe three different knots (overhand, slip knot, and square knot... probably some others I've done by accident. On a good day I can even tie my shoes). Never too old to learn, right? I really admire your no-BS teaching style, and your ability to use all four limbs simultaneously while coherently talking us through every step is the sign of a subject master!
I've never heard of a Zeppelin up before either! Although it seems like a more complicated version of a sheet bend... And I've never had an issue with a sheet bend.
It's a good knot, but should probably not be used for dissimilar sized rope. Should use the zeppelin 1.5 (double tuck the thinner rope) or the more common sheet bend in those cases.
After a 35 year business career i sometimes coach people and groups on public speaking, using clear storylines and interim summaries, with a lot of emphasis on tone of voice and animation to engage people. Boating is a hobby and im pretty hopeless. So i really enjoyed your teaching style on all levels, i find your delivery and content are excellent! Many thanks
Thanks for the information! I recently went on my first sailing trip--a passage to Bermuda from Falmouth, Maine and got to use the Zeppelin Knot when a lobster trap got entangled with our anchor chain while taking a break in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The trap line was so entangled that I had to cut it and then I patched it back together using this knot.
Thank you. Two knots now come even easier to me. I think most people really don't know much about knots, and your effort actually improves that a little bit!
The knots I use for random tasks always end up being some kind of sailing knot. This video is a good example of why that is. They are easy to remember, very effective, and easy to get untied when you don't need them anymore. Great stuff
The bowline is the knot of all knots, I use that one 99% of the time at work. And I must agree with these 5 knots and once you've made them a 1000 times it's muscle memory and they'll never go wrong again. I do have to disagree with tying a dingy to a dingy dock, I prefer to use a chain with a good lock there. Great informative video!
@@Clarks-Adventure Then you are in a good spot. My only experience are in northern Europe and the southern part of the Caribbean, there it's lock it or lose it.
Well, dang. As a guy who last tied any of these knots in Sea Scouts something like 45 years ago (save the reef/square knot), this is a gem of a find. Saved for later!
Great vid. The most needed knots, all well explained. I remember a USCG report that started with "a square not has killed more sailors than any other knot", needless to say, never used one after that.
Beautiful presentation of what can be a very confusing topic. I especially liked how she reviewed each knot. She kept it simple, straightforward, and easy to follow. Very nice job!!
Im a scout leader and the Knot Head of our troop. I appreciate that you give the student the name and the purpose of the knot. This isnt done often enough in scouts. The scout only wants to learn how to tie a knot and get it signed off in his book. I teach the eight required knots and many others. I would expect sailors to use two half hitches, a carrok bend, "a loop with two half hitches", a stevedore knot and a "constrictor" knot. I have learned that climbers often use a knot that is like overlapping figure eights to join ropes. Keep preaching the rope work gospel. Rope is an incredibly important tool.
Ive been looking at knots clips and this is the best i have seen. You answered a couple of glitches i was having with getting it right sometime s andd sometimes 'knot'. Well done
Well done. Well presented. A suggestion for your viewers: leave about a foot of tail in the line between the Figure 8-knot and the end of the line. That will give you a bit of line to pull on (or tie to) if your Figure 8-knot gets jammed into a cleat-fixture.
Great video but a clove hitch is knot secure if there is going to be any bouncing of the dinghy due to wind and waves. I once had to swim 200 yards to ashore from an anchorage in 48 degree water to retrieve my dinghy on a bumpy night. A bowline or a cleat hitch would have saved me from this cold swim. The extra knot she said wasn’t really needed would also probably worked. I have seen simple clove hitches release many times due to bouncing.
Great video! Thanks!! And here's a handy tip: Always leave long tails on your sheet stopper knots. If the stopper knot gets jammed really hard into a block, then you have a long tail to pull on to free it. If the knot is jammed right up to the block without a tail? It can be really hard to get a good grip on that little nub of a knot to pull it out. 🙂
This is a very satisfying video to watch, Ill have to grab me a piece of rope and watch this video again, I just want to learn these knots so I can show off to my boating mates 😂
In the intro of the video, i was positive that i know them all. At the end, i realized that i know nothing 😅 Awesome tips, thanks and keep on the good work! FW and FW
I wish more of my teachers in high school and college were like you. You explain things very well and make something like tying knots interesting! You don’t talk so slow that it makes me fall asleep but also not so fast that I can’t follow what you’re saying! Watched the whole way through just because I think you’re cool! ☺️
Nice. Thanks for the video. I'm a former "petty officer" from Brazilian Navy, who dreams to live aboard, and I like, a lot, simple and objective stuff. Just save the channel at my favorites.
Excellent educator Emily! Thankful I accidentally came across this video. Your husband tied a very nice 'wedding' knot ring to match yours. Congratulations you two!
Very well done Emily! The Alpine Butterfly is very similar to a Trucker's Hitch, which are two of my favorite knots for leverage and purchase. Both are super handy. And the Zeppelin for me is like the Sheet Bend or Double Sheet Bend (if different diameters.) But the square knot that you demonstrated (or reef knot,) will work as well if you half hitch both ends. When I used to train horses, we would use the clove hitch with quick release loops like you did, but we would keep slipping additional qr loops through each other, and the last one would be straight through (not a loop) which keeps the horses from being able to untie the knot, but never tightens on itself. I had a horse who would untie a simple clove hitch in seconds, but with 2 or 3 quick release loops, and the last one straight through, in 25 years, she never untied it.
I’ll tell ya. This episode was knot for me. A couple of these were knot things I knew. Knot that I mind learning new things. I did try a few of them but wound up being tied into knots. 2 pieces of string were walking down the road one said to the other, let’s go in for a drink. The other said they won’t accept us in there. You’ll sea. He went in and was asked to leave right away. The other had an idea. He twisted himself up and ruffled his hair. When he went in the bartender looked at him and said,”Aren’t you a piece of string?” With a grin he replied,”Nope...I’m a frayed knot!” Sorry. Just had to do that. Great episode. As I’ve said before, I always something watching your videos.
I taught college class on marlinspike seamanship. So dazzle me, haha! Always enjoy others teaching knot tying. Thanks! At end of 9 week class, each had a goodie bag of special tools made during class. Interviewing, everyone but one owned their own sailboats. You did amaze me with zeplin knot. I have a 3rd bowline knot to save you, after falling overboard. (So you don't tie double half hitch around you, then killing you tightening up). Imagine husband throwing you a rope while your in water. Rope passes you on your right side. Bring bitter end rope around you. Throw bitter end of rope an about a foot rope, over rope from boat. Grab 2 ropes together with one hand palm down against 2 ropes. Now with hand twist (going down an around) still holding both ropes around each other to create a loop, bring end around through loop too create a bowling around you so you don't die being squeezed. Practice until you get the bowling. Then practice for more speed for emergencies. This knot has saved lives for me.
Love the presentation of this. Concise, complete, and with really good context. That’s not typical of a video about knots. I know them all to some degree but learned a little something new about each knot especially the zeppelin. Now I’m inspired to practice them all again but with my eyes closed and with your tweaks. Thanks.
After caring far too much for knots and learning far too many of them to be usefull... I have to admit that your selection is just right. All your knots work great and are just good in general. Two little remarks: 1. The clove hitch works really well when used correctly. If you have no load on the line and much movement, it will loosen itself and become undone. For that case you need another knot (or, like you have shown, some additional securing) 2. On the outtro "Identify the knot" picture, there is the Hunters knot shown and identified as Zeppelin bend.
Very good video. You made it as easy as possible to teach us how to tie those knots. You couldn't have done it any easier. Thank you very much. Please continue to make and post videos. 😊 👍
Clove Hitch Failure. I got back to the boat later in the evening and tied the dink using a clove hitch using an older braided line that was wet. Lots of dew that night. With the dink pulling intermittently it worked the clove hitch loose. Wind took the dink out to sea but I did recover it 3 weeks later and 80 miles away. (a long story) LESSON: Clove hitches come loose if there is a cycle of yank then release. I still use clove hitches either where there is a constant pressure or if it is a temporary hold for my dink. Still have the same dink 24 years later ;-) Thanks for the video. I've just picked up an attitude about clove hitches.
Great explanations! Since I forget things easily, I use simple variations of the figure 8 knot for four of the five applications you mention in this video: as a stopper as you showed, as a loop anywhere in the line, and as a bend for ropes of a similar diameter.
Greetings again. I just want to say I learned two things today. I learned how to tie these knots because I was able to slow the video, and I learned how to slow the video. I got a two for one today. Much thanks to Emily and Clark and my daughter.
Very nicely done presentation for clarity. Congrats. Its wonderful to see useful advice out there but without clarity theres no point. Look forwardto seeing more
I've been using a bowline for over 50 years it is one of my go-to's. "when the rabbit goes down the hole" "I double it back and it sits at the entrance" thus creating a quick release. make sure to leave enough rope out to grip a sharp tug and waaahlaaah it is undone. when working with horses and animals under tension some knots are imposible to untie, this quick release saved my bacon from distressed horses and animals plus saved lots of time while at sea or on land hauling and tying many times over ! I'm glad i 'got knotted' at an early age!!! knowledge is no burden so 'get knotted' !!!! lol great channel keep up the good work , well done and most enjoyable !!
Hi, very good presentation, well paced and uses review to very good effect (from a training point of view). I also learnt two Knots that I had not used before as 'promised' in the introduction. So very well done . Bye Duncan

I just came for the music :). Thanks for the knots. Now to practice....
I got a Whole Lotta Love for that Zeppelin knot.. I'ts new to me
Me too, and have recently experienced the disaster she describes with the square knot.
I've never heard of a Zeppelin up before either! Although it seems like a more complicated version of a sheet bend... And I've never had an issue with a sheet bend.
Gonna send you back to schooling
It's a good knot, but should probably not be used for dissimilar sized rope. Should use the zeppelin 1.5 (double tuck the thinner rope) or the more common sheet bend in those cases.
Useful knots, useful tips, easy to follow instructions! I'll definitely practice using them. Thank you! 🙏

(Quite funny, as I am a German ^^)

All depends on where you live. I use a lock and cable in Florida. Here it's not an issue.

The Zeppelin just became my new favourite know, thanks!!!
Thanks so much for this post. This is a weak link in my toolbox. I like your teaching style/ ability.
That was awesome. Love the way you delivered the instructions lass 😃
You have the best how to steps for knots thank you just learnkng to sail and your slow steps that are clear to see are perfect
Well, dang. As a guy who last tied any of these knots in Sea Scouts something like 45 years ago (save the reef/square knot), this is a gem of a find. Saved for later!
Glad you found it interesting Trane.
Funny that you can get a alpine that way. At least you did not do the 1 second not a bowline challenge. : ) hope you guys are now feeling better.
Best 5 knot lesson I've seen in a while.
So many ways to tie a bowline though.
Amazing. Thank you. I’m a noob with lengths of line to practice in my living room. You’re nice to watch.
Well done (says the teacher of 25 yrs)! You were right, two knots new to me that I will practice this week until returning to the boat :)
Great vid. The most needed knots, all well explained.

Thanks again.
Glad to see you are going through our old stuff. Enjoy.
And enjoy your new boat!
Thanks for this, you show different methods of tying common knots. Never seen a bowline done the second way. Thanks
knots were great, I want or not one thing come to my mind, Hey Clark, congrat for this natural beauty
Thanks, it was a pleasure to watch and learn!

First time been able to understand Bowline thankyou esp V 2 also helps to use U tube slow mode Thank you
