I like the rolling hitch but when I was in the Navy and later as a lineman we would use the clove hitch followed by a series of half hitches. It seemed like it was just easier to get undone. Also, the clove seemed quicker and easier to tie, especially if you used the two loops and reverse them method.
As a CWI on high rises, I wish more ironworkers passed hammers and spud wrenches like this instead of chucking them up to each other (over my head) 🤣. Great instructional!
The way I mainly use your first example of the rolling hitch is to increase tension on the standing end......as you over wrap the rope you incrimentally shorten the standing end by clamping the rope down by the ropes width every wrap (can wrap many times), on an already tight rope and you can impart a huge amount of force and can get that last bit of tension you need into the rope.
I've heard this is used for tying rope to object, but not rope to rope as in your example of a tautline. This video instructed me what that can mean: not just to a pole or post, but to a hammer. I've heard the awning hitch is used for rope to rope, as in your very next example on hitches to know, the midshipman's hitch
Great video & application. A slight variation that you might consider....at the end where you finish between the double wraps....if you take the running end over the double wraps, & under the first wrap (from the inside out; the first round formed by the standing end) it seems to form a much stronger, more stable hitch. Kind of reminds me of the Miller's Knot. I'm also a fan of the Anchor Hitch, & the Constrictor Knot, which are similar. Thanks
making a half hitch on a small object like hammer is easy, but what to do in case of a longer object, say like a bamboo or a log of wood? appreciate ur time and video. thanks
A lot of names for the same knot or hitch, especially over time. The awning & half hitch (1st hitch in vid) is ABOK #1735 which he calls the rolling hitch (2). Budworth's book only has the same awning hitch variation as the rolling hitch. Interestingly Ashley calls both the taut line hitch and the awning version, the midshipman's hitch.

Rolling hitch is a favourite of the Fire Service too… great for hauling hose lines aloft.
It certainly is a great, simple knot.
here from mark dice
Please please review the pohaku multitool with detachable scissors they are crazy amazing and are on amazon
Any chance that you have a link for it?
,🇵🇬🇵🇬
Could watch your videos all day man. I hope my channels gets as big as yours one day. Thanks for all the great videos.
I appreciate that very much, thank you. You certainly have the right topic to grow in a hurry, lot of fisherman in the world. Best of luck!
@@txtoolcrib You’re certainly welcome. So far I’m really just enjoying the interactions will all sorts of different people. Take care man.
I know exactly what you mean. I’ve met some really knowledgeable people through my channel, present company included,

Yeah, I know just what you mean.
You are not supposed to be working under us .
@@ironmaster8749 I check y’all’s stuff. It’s unavoidable.

Can you translate that into english for me ?
🤣
I’d say that, for me, when the function of a certain not is stressed up front, it becomes easier and faster to learn it.
Great video!
I’ve always use a clove hitch for this I know the rolling hitch is better for it, but I’ve always just used a clove hitch
I work in a shipyard.i teach that knot to all new hires...it could save someone's life someday.
How so? By keeping a tool from falling, or is there another use? I'm not familiar with this hitch at all.
The first knot my father made me learn before he let me carry a hammer, bowline was a close second.
Both excellent knots to learn.

You’re absolutely right.
Glad to see it in real life application.
Ok that’s cool

This is one of the most essential knots to know in construction.
That's how we pull masts "unstep" out of boats
All kinds of practical applications for this one.

this seems like a great knot for tying off a bag, and hanging it in a tree (camping application). with just a single line
I like your instructions on these knots.
Your instructions are ALWAYS so CLEAR and easy to follow! Thans, I wish every instructor was this clear…
I appreciate the compliment, thank you.

Start your first wrap as a half hitch, pull the rope further down the object leaving enough to make the rolling hitch. Little tedious, but doable.
TheTimber & Killick hitch or some just call it the Killick hitch.
Your first hitch is called a rigger's hitch, not a rolling hitch.
