I think this is the first time I watched one of your videos. I have watched lots of knots videos from different channels. They are helpful or hindering the various degrees and some of them I really like. I appreciated this video because the pace of time was slow enough for me to follow and you explained how to tighten and dress the knot. I look forward to more of your videos.

Great video Jason. I prefer my 'tie in the hand' method, which is perhaps more practical up a tree, in a howling gale on a boat or when a quivering wreck on a rock ledge, or any situation when dropping one of the ropes could have bad consequences. This method is a minor variation of your second one, but I think, keeps a good grip on both ropes at all stages. A somewhat wordy description , but it's just as quick and easy to tie. Grab some rope and Give it a go and let me know what you think. WE = Working End, SE = Standing End, RH = Right Hand, LH = Left Hand - RH holds both WEs together up vertically with SEs hanging down beneath. - Turn LH palm down and open like a pair scissors parted between ring and middle finger and insert both SEs. Close 'scissors', gripping ropes about 10" from the end. - Rotate LH away from you so both WEs fall across palm, with both rope SEs visible beneath, laid loose across ring and pinky fingers. Grip down firmly with L thumb trapping the two coils against the index finger. - Place RH fingers in through the middle, separating L and R pairs of SE + WE. - Reach round back of LH SE and grab LH WE. Draw out towards you, over and round the RH WE on the way, and then pass it from the RHS through the two loops that lie over index and middle finger. The WE should now be snug in the LH palm. - Close up all fingers except ring finger, which points at yourself. You should now be safely gripping all ropes except the RH WE. - take RH WE and pass above this middle finger [do not collect RH SE on way] and past the two loops still held round first and middle finger [ie on the back of your hand]. - feed RH WE towards you through the two loops. - RH grabs both WEs and you slip the knot off the other fingers. LH grabs both SEs - Pull on both to start drawing up the knot, then pull on opposing SEs to complete. Dress and check Hope this helps someone out Regards Jason and keep up the good work

@@paddor I have no camera nor mobile phone so that won't work for me. get yourself some rope and follow the instructions and it will come out good - A bit like me, old and slow, but you will reach your goal. Once learned, it takes seconds to tie Be good, be safe and be lucky - OG

Excellent. The second and fastest way is really good to know.

Hey there. Great knot to know. Knowing different knots is great for things around cottage life. Thanks

I think it would be great if you could add some information about the strength of these knots. How does this compare to a sheet bend in terms of breaking strength and is one of them easier to untie when you’re done?

Such a cool knot! Thanks for the tips! I plan on using this knot in 2022 so I can compare it with the Carrick bend.

The second method is very very very easy to get wrong. The 1st one, the 6 over the 9, remains the easiest to get right.
