TOP 10 Tension Locking Systems -Tent Guy Line Tensioners - Rope Tensioners - READ THE DESCRIPTION

very good 👍 not easy to find out which one is the best

The first one is also known as a woodland zip tie and it's an amazing knot for lashing soft things to your pack!

Great knots, very cleanly presented. Thank you.

Brilliant!!! Cheers from Ireland ☘

Uno dei più bei video sui nodi. Semplice, pulito con uno sfondo che non confonde ma anzi aiuta a capire meglio l'esecuzione dei nodi. Molto esplicativo ed istruttivo. Bravissimo! 💪👍👏

I liked your video, it very clearly shows how to tie the knort. However, you're doing the tautline wrong. This is essentially a rolling hitch on the standing part. The third loop should go around the standing part in the same direction on the outside as the first two do on the inside.

Thanks for sharing and making it very easy & then pausing it which is a GREAT HELP as also learning some other new knot’s COOL MUSIC FROM A NOVICE PLEASE MORE OF YOUR CONTENT 🙏🏽💯👍🏽🙏🏽APPRECIATED.

Ya left out a bungee or a fair sized rock dangling at the free end …

retaightening, really! how about a proof read now and then?

Your bad knots will kill people. They are pretty and deadly. Don't do it.

👍

Well done... I learned so much

Awesome

I love you ! Hojojutsu !

I'd love it if there were chapters..
(I also love the example-first method-later order).

The song is a banger too. Just like the content. Thanks for sharing

I want to see how he ties his shoes

Really good uses demonstrated. I see these knots but never thought of using them like that before. Great video.

Wow! It only took the better part of a century for someone to make a easy to see and follow video with good lighting. 👏

Which one would you say is the strongest?

музика дебільна!!!! на голову давить!!! не робіть так більше!!!

Pretty cool knots. I like it.

Great video. I would have added the archer's knot.

Great, helpful, video; but for a novice like myself, it would have been good to have some examples of situations where each knot would be best used.

How to choose the best knot GUIDE and SUMMARY of this video:

The farrimond hitch is essentially a Prusik with a bite (an unclosed loop) of the rope placed in the Prusik's bite/loop and then everything is tightened.

This is really interesting, It also makes more wraps around the line than other knots per movement. More loops means more friction. (2 coils/loops per wrap. Sorry for my poor terminology).

The prusik is known as the most reliable or one of the most for climbing. This means that it should be similarly reliable and trustworthy .

(yes, adjust the amount of loops of any of the knots as needed per application).


Knots should not have more methods of tightening and/or adjusting friction than useful and definitely not any that could interfere with another as being interdependent which is most commonly true. (I mean it iș a problem when by adjusting one part of the knot another one gets changed and therefore chaos happens instead of predictable adjustments).


Other than that, knots should be easy to untie and tie even with hands that are slippery and freezing cold and injured in any way.
Moreover that , it is less important but also beneficial to have the knot be easily used for many purposes or modified easily into the best versions of knots for other applications.


Another factor to consider is the obviousness of the knot . I mean inspect ability. But this goes along with easy to tie knots .

(for example The kalmyk knot is known to be used in extreme cold conditions even with very thick gloves (which limit dexterity). It is not shown in this video because it is not an adjustable tension knot). This video shows various knots but does not show any real world tests. Mostly the knots vary by the amount of wraps and some variation.


My conclusion for now is to use the farrimond hitch for light loads depending on the scenario. The trucker's hitch with autolocking variation - but as my idea which uses prusik knots instead of the standard quick release loops - for heavier loads.

The jam knot is interesting that it is typically tightened laterally instead but I don't of any scenario where this would be useful.



If you have any suggestions to improve this guide please send me a message here. I suspect that there may be knots more suiting these criteria and/or some criteria I did not consider.

That is not a Taunt-Line Hitch!! The last wrap is wrapped incorrectly.

😍😍😘😘🥰🥰

This ‘music’ sucks

❤

i am using the truckers hitch to hang my clothes in the sun on a rope line, earlier i couldnt properly tension the rope, now its a lot better! thanks!

❤❤❤❤❤

The taught line hitch was kind of off. All the wraps useually go the same direction but you seem to reverse on the last wrap. I'll have to test it out and see if it holds as well but it's definitely not the standard way of doing it, you can reference it via the Ashley book of knots, or any other tutorial that shows the correct way of tying it.

Excellent speed, I do agree you should drop the music and maybe add some info on pros/ cons for each knot. Thx

This is torture!!

First was girth hitch as cross was on top. Cow is underneath. Second ts prussik.

just a poor simple bastard!!~

this is a great video, and I learned 4 new knots I didn't know before. Thank you. That said, I have to quesiton the trucker's hitch you show here. And I notice in the demonstration it isn't snugged down tight. I think you've tied a slip knot for the loop, and if you put tension on it, that loop will close up tight and be difficult or impossible to untie. A trucker's hitch as I was taught uses a different loop that will not close up under tension. To be fair, the one I was taught does not work with slippery line, so one of the other knots might be better. I urge you to check some other trucker's hitches.. particularly on sailing websites to see a hitch that will not close up under tension. Keep up the good work.

Regarding the truckers hitch: What people usually don't know and whats is not shown often here in YT is, that you can make it partially self clamping by feeding the rope through the loop a second time. When under load in tension direction, the rope will clamp itself, giving you enough time to back it up with a half hitch. When pulling against the tension direction, it comes lose again. It works with rope on rope, but it is better to use a carabiner or equal hardware clipped in the loop.

Good teaching, thanks!

For the two Cow Hitches you opted to use carabiners. You already had loops at each end, so why add the carabiners?

Fantastic. Love the background music. 1st time viewer. New subscriber.

Awesome!
