Alright so today on Repairs101 I’m going to kick off this first episode of our fifth year on TH-cam with a top ten list of knots you want to know. Alright. Cue the fireworks guy.
So you know this knot wasn’t even supposed to be in the lesson But I thought I’d include it. It’s the square knot and it’s one of the knots that everybody needs to know. Make sure you’re subscribed to catch all my videos on these knots and many more to come. It’s just left over right, right over left and you’re done.
OK so while ostensibly this video is a top ten list of the knots that I consider to be the most essential ones to know, in reality it’s a lesson about how simple knots are really building blocks for more complex knots.
So the difference between an overhand knot and a half hitch is that the half hitch is belayed to something. Here it’s a ring but it can be a rail or a pole or a piece of rope or whatever. It’s pretty easy to tie and I just include it because it’s a building block for other knots.
Point in case is a knot called the round turn and two half hitches. And, you pretty much tie it just the same way you say it. Keep the tail passing around in the same direction when you make your half hitches so that together they form a clove hitch. Now if you’re worried about this knot slipping you can always lock it up with an overhand stopper knot.
Let me know in the comments section if you call any of these knots by different names - I’d be very interested. But keep in mind that words are just words and talk is cheap. It’s what you do in life that counts.
You could use it to secure your boat to a cleat if you hadn’t seen the rest of this video already and well.. uh... I don’t know. What is that? A chopstick?
OK so the next building block I want you to know is the clove hitch. It’s simple to tie. You belay it to something like a bar or a cleat or a ring and it’s a reasonablly secure knot - again, especially if you lock it down with an overhand stopper. You can also add a half hitch alongside to create this travelling hitch.
Another great variation of the clove hitch that’s good for if you need to tie up your horse or your dog is the slippery hitch -because it’s quick release.
But you know, honestly the best knot for leads and leashes is another quick release knot called the painter hitch otherwise known as the highwayman’s hitch. So have a look at my painter hitch video for a comprehensive lesson in how to tie it.
Come on buddy! (WHISTLES) C’mon get in the car, we’re going downtown.
You’ll notice that as long as you keep the tail passing around in the same direction when you’re making your half hitches, that the half hitches actually create a clove hitch,which because they’re on a piece of line that they can run on, becomes a buntline hitch.
Now no matter what size boat you’re talking about this is the preferred knot for tying down to a horn cleat and securing your vessel. Now what’s really interesting about the cleat hitch is that if you deconstruct the knot a little bit and you put it into a different context you can see that it’s clearly just a clove hitch.
A sheet bend can be used to join two pieces of unequal rope by making an eye in the larger rope and then passing the smaller one through the eye, around and then under itself. When both tails are on the same side of the knot it’s called a right handed sheet bend and it is the preferred version of this knot. Wrap the tail one more time and pass it under itself again and you’ve got a double sheet bend.
OK so you make a crossing turn to create a hole, and then the snake goes out of the hole, around the tree and then back bown the hole again. And that’s a standard bowline. Which will look like this and look fairly familiar to you. Tie your bowline the other way to get a left handed or classic / cowboy bowline. And so if we compare the bowline to the sheet bend we discover they’re pretty much the same knot....

The backhand hitch is great as you can tie it under tension and it can even tighten your load. It will use less rope than a trucker's hitch.
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Just thought I'd take a moment and compliment your teaching style. Not too many people can teach knots well. I wish all my teachers had the same demeaner and skill. More knots please.
+NewHampshire Bound - Thank you :)
I found myself stopping the video every so often to make sure I got the knots right. I appreciate the repeated tyings as opposed ti the hand holding most other vids do, and your subtle humor is refreshing.
Refreshed my memory on the sheet bend and picked up a new one: the Alpine Hitch--simple and useful. Thank you!
:)
This is great! I approached this feeling like there are a million knots to learn. Then you show how so many of them are closely related. It seems like it went from a million knots to maybe a dozen or so. 👍🏻
You only need to learn the ones you use 😄
Most of these blew my mind how easy to tie and untie yet how good it is
Came here for knots, and got served some spot on humor as well, thank you good sir.
EXCELLENT!!! LOVE the backhand hitch!!
+beauxtx1959 - Thanks! :)
I loved this video. Not only did you show 11 knots we would find useful and how to tie them, you also showed actual examples/applications for them. I love learning how to do stuff I had no idea how to do b4. Thank u so much. This was priceless Great job.
Thanks, Dee Jay!
I watch your videos often. I don't do enough practicing, but your videos give me a quick reference to tying some of the most popular knots that everyone should know. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks!
Outstanding video. Can't wait to see more. Thank You.
+david elizabeth - Thank you! More to follow! Thanks for commenting!
Thank you Mr. Busey! Very informative.
One of the best videos on knots. Thanks for sharing.
Closed Captioning is now available for this video. Thanks for your patience.
+Repairs101 Correction: Closed captions are currently unavailable. Working to find a solution.
You are a knot ;)
Or not
You should go faster (smh)
Im a very slow learner, But I like your videos.. do you have videos that you show how to do the knots but half the speed you're doing in this video.? Thank You
Thank you so much.
Rock on!
You guys have some huge dogs up in Canada! Thanks for all the great videos!
+David Fiorini - Yeah, they're so little when you get 'em. Must be something in the water.
Thanks for watching and for commenting!
Tom Slak His name is Buddy. Have a look at my Hummingbird Feeder video for more about him and his little sister Holly
th-cam.com/video/EOW4xnzV8IU/w-d-xo.html
Somehow, your tying descriptions are very helpful. Learned a few things! Thanks. That last knot seems really useful. Take care.
Rock on!
I have tied those timber hitches on nylon-strung guitar for decades, and never knew they were the timber hitch. Good stuff.
Rock on!
Thank-you for the very nice video. It appears that the cleat hitch was tied in two separate ways with the figure 8 starting on a different cleat. In the first example, it can be difficult to release if placed under great tension which, of course, sometimes happens.
This stuff should be taught in school
Agreed!
You left out one of my favorites, the angler's loop. As for bends, add zepplin and hunters. Nice video!
Good call! I'll file those under future projects.
Good selection of basic knots, no fumbling and nice narrative. The buntline was wrong but otherwise, great.
Thanks for sharing, very useful
+Typey1 - Thx 4 commenting!
Love learning knots. Just wish I could watch a video illustration that was very slow. Thanks for sharing.
Change the play speed if you can’t keep up.
On a buntline hitch, the 2 overhands that form the clove hitch around the standing part work towards the loop around your spar, rather than away from the spar. Isomorphic to the four-in-hand necktie knot.
Careful when cleating, go around the far horn, then the near, then across. Do not make a complete turn around the base, might lock up on ya.
big 410 on the mouse rig there charlie over n out
I used to use the two-turns with two half hitches until I learned the Fisherman's Bend (formerly called the Anchor Bend). It is far superior in about every way, except just slightly harder to tie. It looks more elegant, as a bonus.
I enjoy your videos very much. Fantastic resource for learning many different things. Thanks for taking the time to make them!
Thanks Tony, I'll be releasing some more videos soon.
Simply awesome! Thanks much :)
Rock on!
Awesome stopper knot on non-slipping knots
Great video! Nice looking dog.
+Matt Rodriguez - Thanks Matt, they get real big out here.
Excellent, some people get bend out of shape and all tied up in knots if you say the sheet bend is the same configuration as a bowline. I said that on a vid. and got flamed like crazy. Keep up the good work.
:)
Another great video and talk through, thank you.
+P. Mathias - thank you (again) and thanks for commenting :)
On truckers hitch , we use a figure eight to form the loop . Does not bind as bad as the slipped overhand. Thanks
Will check out your other knot tying videos to refresh myself on tying snell knots for fishing and a few others. Useful videos but a bit fast for me to follow.
So quick - without the why explained. Who wants to tie a knot without a reason for doing so. I'm a thick person, you should explain to me why these knots are so important to learn.
(UK)
Thank you for another great video of an extremely useful selection of knots.
:)
Thank you .... excellent concepts!
+Diego Andrade - thanks! always happy to share what I have learned!
Great education on knots Brother
Thanks friends, sure will be useful, ⚓️🇺🇸
Repairs101- I use a variety of knots, and I'm sure you cover all of them in one version or another. A simple knot variation was taught me by a grandmother for tieing kids' shoes (and my Red Wing work boots). In tying the Bow-knot, when you make the wrap around the first bow, do TWO WRAPS, then draw the second bow through the two wraps and draw the bows tight. When working in tight spaces inside boilers, steam tunnels, 'tis a confidence builder knowing your boots will stay tight protecting your feet. Bill B., Calif. Central Valley
+Bill Butler - I'll have to use that one. Thanks for contributing!
thanks for sharing
backhand hitch huh.....i always heard it called a working knot...learned it doing tower work when i was a kid...lowering loads and such ...only knot i will repel on..ever...good stuff !
Thanks! Rock on!
Hell yeah I use the backhand hitch all the time at work.
Great video. I loved the variety in your props. I'll be back to watch more.
Thanks, Bob!
Great video! I love your explanations and your tutorial!
Thanks!
Still some work to do on this one!
Closed Captioning to follow tomorrow!
Please share it with your friends! Thx!
Repairs101 ok now I want to see you do a joint splice with 2 tapers on 4 strand braided gear line. then put an eye splice on the end and tie it to another eye with a sheets bend. and then I can get you a job. lol
wow right after I typed that... you tied a sheets bend. okay you are hired. LMAO
ya, love that dog! needs a big leash!
Watching all those truckers hitches being made, made me realize that tying knots is an art form.
An ancient lost art.
Good job old man!
+Gary Mercer :)
That is the way to teach knots..a lot of channels really struggle with demonstrating.
Awesome, tried them all and got them first try, that’s a fuckin first.
Rock on JP!
Nice dog. I imagine he's more active in the Spring time. ;)
It's true. More about Buddy here: Coke Can Hummingbird Feeder th-cam.com/video/43kpY1TA5cU/w-d-xo.html
:)
thank you so much
your last knot video is actually what got me subscribed and I've used the backhand hitch so many times. I will be subscribed to the end of youtubes existing :)
+Hiroo Vision - Thank you. I'll keep trying to deliver more and even better videos.
Repairs101 Sounds great. I like all your videos, you taught me alot :)
very useful stuff, thankyou.
+MrCrystan :) Thanks for commenting!
Appreciate the correct pronunciations!
To tie a bowline when things are happening fast, make a simple slip knot in which the free end does NOT slip. Pass the free end around a piling (or whatever) and through the eye of the slip knot. Roll the knot over, and you have a bowline! Best to allow enough extra past the slip knot to allow it to set. Best way to roll the knot over... is to have the free end in one hand, and the fixed end in the other. Pull the fixed end to set the knot. This is VERY handy knot in some conditions!
I've watched a lot of knot videos recently, and this was one of the best I've ever seen, if not the best.
it doesn't spend forever going over each step in painstakingly boring detail, there's a good number of different knots and versions/variations, demonstrations of the strength and purpose of the knots, and deconstructions of knots to give you an intuition for how all knots are related.
this one's going on my favorites. thanks for the video.
Thanks for the comment - nice to see somebody appreciates what I did.
Your dog made me laugh 😄 thanks!
😁
I feel knotty watching this video!😲
Truckers hitch is my go to and favorite. The timber hitch looks very simple! Loved it, but how effective? How would one use this?
great list of knots, your list would be fairly similar to mine.
Incredible
it was a bit quick but your backhand hitch looks very much like an italian hitch tied off with a couple of half hitches - as used to secure a safety line during an abseil?
Great video! Thanks for posting and I hope you have a big car for your dog.
+Nelson Whipple - lucky for me it's a Buick!
Great video. I've never heard of your No.1 knot so thanks. I would have added the constrictor knot and the adjustable hitch. Have you seen the technique for the alpine knot where you wrap it round your hand?
+Vein76 - thanks! So many good knots it's hard to choose only 10. Yes that's how I tie them in the field but for teaching this is easier to see and understand. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks. Very interesting.
:)
I tie the painters hitch a little different than how you do. but I use that one a lot to tie things temporarily so as to untie quickly
Cheers Mate!
I find that many students are unable to learn something by watching. They insist on blocking visual cues while putting a preference on verbal instruction.
I tell them learning to tie a knot is like learning a dance. I say, "If the rope in your hands doesn't look just like the rope in my hands, you're doing it wrong."
My favorite is the Farrimond Friction Hitch..
We've always called the cleat hitch a safety hitch... Same exact knot but I tie it a bit different. Thanks for the video
:)
great episode
+chris brooks - Thanks Chris!
No problem always a pleasure watching your videos
couple of knots i would suggest:
-fisherman's knot
-ring hitch
-ashton's constrictor knot
-classic noose
-girth hitch
-water knot
Muito bom. Brazil
+Antonio Lacerda - Muito obrigado. Canada
The best knot in the world is the Christmas Light knot. Anyone can tie it. just bundle up your christmas lights and store for 12 months. Get them out and try and untie them. Impossible. LOL.
Lol
Jpgundarun p
There is also the earbud pocket knot.
Every. Freaking. Year.
I like to learn all of these knots but need the best which is the "Truckies knot". You are so fast but if You slow down than I can find all of it and will try! Slow I down!
My dignity is restored!
You tube's can be slowed down from menu that appears by tapping top right corner
Great video!
Thanks, Appleblade.
Slow motion would be nice in teaching the more complex knots. Also using a figure 8 stopper knot instead the overhand knot is far superior and used on sailboats regularly l. All and all a valuable presentation.
Thanks, Charles!
Thanks, I like
Holy crap i tie back hand hitches all the time and it was something I just happened on one day by accident. All the lads at work think its just a mess but I've never had it fail once hahah
very useful
thank you
:)
Is it important to know all of these? I know at least 2 for every purpose (joining two ropes, connecting to a tree or other closed loop, a knot that slides on a rope, etc.) but if I know the bowline is there a good reason why I should know one of the other standard knots?
If you don't pull the carrick tight, but tie the loose ends to the standing parts, you can use this knot on the thickest ropes and it will not slip but you can easily untie it.
If you do pull it tight, it still won't slip and you can easily untie it. That's why it's a good bend knot.
Awesome.
+Jakfilm - Thx!
+Repairs101 It's nice to see someone that appreciates knots as I do. I love how there are really only about three fundamental pieces of geometry, that are used again and again.
love your videos. I can now say that I know how to tie 6 knots.
Happy to help!
I enjoy your videos. With your knot videos I think it would be good if you included a sentence or two on the strength and weaknesses of the knot. And maybe what makes the backhand hitch your favourite for instance.
+bluehawke99 - Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind next time! :)
Interesting.
for me... hands down the clove hitch is the most useful. unless I need to yard something then it's the truckers hitch
thanks bud. the only one I didn't know was the Alpine
Thank you so much.....!
:)
Essential teaching. Thank you sensei
+typhoon - Information is power. Go powerfully, Grasshopper.
Is there an advantage to the multi-twist version of the trucker's hitch (8:19) over the single loop version at 7:58?
I could have sworn I covered that but YES!! The multi twist/ version 3 / Flying Dutchman can be loaded up with tons of weight and will still unravel easily afterward.
There's something seriously wrong with me. This looks like fun!
Me too, I guess.
Can you demonstrate the truckers hitch, based on Sheep Shank. and how it will collapse. like how much tension is required to fall apart ?
th-cam.com/video/tvgFyqFZK54/w-d-xo.html
Thanks🙏..
Welcome
nice video
:)
Great video! at 1:12, I always knew the "2 round turns and 2 half hitches" as a "Fisherman's bend". Not a criticism, just answering you asking us to tell you if we have different names for these knots.
Looking @ your uploads it appears you have not been very active of late. So I hope all is well. I’ll subscribe, anyway. In case you’ve been extremely busy or something else. Yes, knowing how to tie off a load is a must. I’m an old glazier and believe me, I’ve seen it all. From no cardboard between the rope and raw glass. To completely forgetting to tie off altogether.
Thanks for the video.
I am new to knots and I am looking for a specific knot.
To explain, the knot needs to be quick release and won't slide up or down a vertical pole and can be done under tension. I will need to do this often as I can't keep the item just hanging there. I will need to pull up the item over a cross bar and then the other end of the rope will be tied to a vertical pole. I will also need to be able to adjust so I can pull the item higher off the ground. This is where this knot comes in. Tension is about 60 to 80 lbs in weight.
If you have any suggestions, that would be great.
I can't imagine what you're describing. Painter hitch is the best quick release knot I know. th-cam.com/video/6LAxCyI8Eo0/w-d-xo.html
See the rolling hitch. Or, tautline hitch. It's tied slightly differently around another rope than around a rigid spar. Boy Scouts messed up the name in '53, so, poke around. The one where the 2nd turn is below the first. Finish with a bight, to make it easier to release.
Can be tied under strain, but, only holds one direction.
For both directions I'd have to think "Prussik", but, you can't tie that w/a load on.
You should check out the zeppelin bend - can be used on lines of unequal thickness, totally symmetrical, won't slip but won't jam, simple to tie. (composed of two interlinked overhand knots)
+The True Fizz - everybody is always going on about the Zeppelin Bend (because Zeppelin Rules! obviously) and the Hunter Bend but these relatively "new" knots are inferior to the ancient carrick bend under any test you care to administer th-cam.com/video/D5j1XGSrNGE/w-d-xo.html
True Fizz---I agree. The zeppelin bend in the king of bends. Better than the Carrick bend. It is unsurpassed for simplicity and beauty of final form, symmetrical, ease of tying, ease of untying, never jams, simply a couple of half-hitches intertwined.
Repairs 101---'ancient' isn't necessarily better. Or are you still using stone wheels for tires on your car?
Say you want to tie a hitch with a poly lead rope (horse/cow lead rope) and the rope got wet and is frozen so is very stiff and slippery. What hitch would you recommend?
Backhand hitch.
thanks.
