I think what's fascinating for those of us with intermediate knot knowledge isn't that you're showing *knots*, you're basically showing inventions made up of knots we might already know. Like, I *knew* the french bowline but never used it for anything; yet it comes up repeatedly in your videos in creative ways. Love this channel!

Great demonstration! If nothing else, this illustrates why it's important to know a lot of different knots and practice them regularly. Having a decent sized catalog to draw from means there'll always be a way to get the job done. Many knots will do the same thing, and some folks will prefer one over the other. But if you don't work to incorporate those knots into your daily life, they won't be there when you really do need them.

@@Starkl3t I agree and have often said the same. Clove hitch, bowline, truckers hitch and a sheet bend, but for some reason I know about 100 more. For tarps I prefer a Stopper knot, like a Double-Overhand, just to keep the rope from pulling through the hole, because it tends not to tear out the grommet like a French Bowline would by distributing the load around the entire circumference..

This is the voodoo hitch, aka transport hitch. The first buckle could have been replaced with any tie-off. The funky artillery loop could have been replaced with an alpine butterfly or directional figure 8. The last buckle could have been replaced, with any fixed loop - but it must be a fixed loop. The whole resulting things is a voodoo hitch without carabiners. Very cool.

Truckers hitch is an amazing knot, I agree. There is a good guide on yt. And the knot is very easy. I think it’s more logical than the bowline, thus easier to remember. The Portuguese Bowline is also amazing! Just what I was looking for. Not really keen on tying 100500 bowlines each time I pitch my tarp. So now I tie 2x trucker hitches + 2x regular bowlines for the two ridgelines (over tarp, plus a thin one under the tarp for the mosquito net) and my guylines (as well as all of the 6x mosquito net guylines + microcarabiners (fingertip size) (safety feature - the least strong link in the chain. In case of a hard pull - at least my tarp or the net aren’t gonna rip instead)) attach with this French Bowline version. I love it!

If you absolutely must not pierce your roof for whatever reason with nails or screws, then this would work I guess. However, battening down the tarp directly to the roof surface with lathing strips is the only way to ensure that wind is not allowed or at least severely limited to enter the space beneath the tarp, which is the most typical and fastest way that a tarp covering your roof ends up in the neighboring zip code.

Indeed. The Alpine butterfly knot is the best. It can handle shock loading, ring loading, pull from single or multiple directions at once, and never spills or jams (at least not in my experience). There are so many other uses for it as well, like sectioning off a damaged part of your rope. It can be tied in the bight or around an object. And there is also an alpine butterfly bend that is tied almost exactly the same way, so if you learn the alpine butterfly loop, you get a second knot for free (alpine butterfly bend). The knot is highly regarded by climbers and arborists, and for good reason

I was gonna say that looks overly complicated till i saw that after securing the second buckle you can essentially move the tension without anything coming undone. So ingenius! But... tbh, I'll still keep using a siberian hitch on one side, and a trucker's hitch on the other end for adjusting tension. Less setup time, and way less takedown time since I can make everything quick-release. This would, although, be usefull for a setup that wouldn't require being put up and taken down often, or If I needed to adjust tension once in a while. So the Artillery loop is essentially a non-slippery trucker's hitch? Could prove useful to replace the Alpine butterfly wherever I value setup time over breaking strenght.
