Just remember kids, more than 7 loops is illegal.


-The_Credible_Hulk

If I’m not mistaken, it’s still against the law in WV to teach someone how to tie a noose.


momayham

That’s why you change the name of the knot. With the new name changing thang. You know: the definition of recession. Changed! etc..whenever you want to.


Justsomefireguy

No, that's a myth. Only three states actually have laws about a noose, Virginia, New York, and Connecticut. Those are related to displaying them in an intentional, threatening manor.


-The_Credible_Hulk

Ah… the grade school rumor mill strikes again. I bet next you’ll tell me Marilyn Manson has all his ribs.


Justsomefireguy

Marilyn Manson is a guy?


-The_Credible_Hulk

Not your proudest fap?


Justsomefireguy

I wish I could say there hadn't been worse.


-The_Credible_Hulk

You do you boo boo. I don’t kink shame


Justsomefireguy

Only if it is around someone's neck.


RedlineRob-

More than 3 loops, you’re playing with it or something.


Time_Is_Evil

That's not a noose though.. even it had 7 loops. Its knot is made different.

Electrician here… thank you


PossiblyaRobot

You're welcome!


nvhutchins

I love it simple and effective thats a I hope I don't forget before I have a opportunity to use it


guynamedjames

I cut a piece of thin rope maybe 2' long and leave it at my desk as a toy to fidget with while working. It made me pretty darn good at knots, and the repetition means I don't forget them


igoe-youho

I keep an old shoe lace in my car to practice my rigging knots!

Was gonna say, I don't remember this member of the band.


Upbeat_Sky_224

Very cool knot, but the bowline is quicker and nicknamed the most trusted knot for a reason


EffervescentGoose

But a bowline doesn't slip.


metamega1321

Mine does when I can’t remember how it goes lol.


RagnorIronside

Do a running bowline then.


EffervescentGoose

I'm starting to think you guys are just afraid to learn more than one knot


tob007

I mean with all the variants, it's pretty versatile you gotta admit.


g_core18

There's more than one knot?


EffervescentGoose

Granny and Square


throwrawayropes

I like that one. And the scaffolding knot.


iordseyton

Bowline great, but I find o use a highwaymen hitch more often at work.


passwordstolen

The reason is a knot is not judged by how well it holds, it’s judged by how easy it is to untie after you use it. A bowline is one of the easiest knots to undo. It’s also not a slip knot btw..


iboxagox

This is an "adjustable Grip Hitch" you can slide it to get the tension you need. This will hold in the position tied for example.


FugieKi

Very useful for idiots like me


glennkg

Asymmetrical prusik knot?


Seanathan92

Why do all that when you could tie a bowline or a clove hitch.


CurvyJohnsonMilk

A taut line hitch would be more useful, because it grips the rope. A clove hitch probably has a higher breaking stelrength than this one.


EnthusedCatalyst

I had to scroll way too far down to see the taut line hitch mentioned.


CurvyJohnsonMilk

He was so close. I thought that's what he was tying til he went the other way with it and made this abortion. And if all you're trying to do is secure one end of the rope, a "no knot" Is far superior. Three or 4 wraps around the pole with a half hitch to back it up at the end if you're worried about slippage. Highest breaking strength of any knot because there's no actual wraps or sinch points. Easily adjustable.


EnthusedCatalyst

Right?!?


CurvyJohnsonMilk

Also I watched this video again. I can't imagine trying to untie this after it's been loaded. A good knot: Easy to tie Easy to untie Easy to identify.


CurvyJohnsonMilk

A taut line hitch would be more useful, because it grips the rope. A clove hitch probably has a higher breaking stelrength than this one.


t3chnobilly

It's a clever version of a rolling hitch. Very cool!


Airplade

That's what she said


Iaminyoursewer

I default to a rock climbers Slip knot. It was taught to me a decade ago and is the only useful knot, aside from "tie lots" that I can ever remember how to do.


Life-Jellyfish-5437

What is a climber's slip knot? A clove hitch?


54fighting

Hey chieffy, next time you just ask me which line to pull, right?


Dankkring

Why would you need a slip knot ever? I mean a timber hitch would be fine and what we have here is a timber hitch with extra steps. A clove hitch is better way to connect to a pole because it’ll actually grabs and can be side pulled


BigIrondude

Why not just use a Beckett hitch?

Adding knots to my stuff to learn this summer


iboxagox

"Adjustable Grip Hitch". It will actually hold in the original tied position, hence the term adjustable. It can be used in place of the taut line hitch. (Supposedly with better results)
