The tautline in the intro is not the same as the one you tied for demonstration. The working on the intro is back toward the loop, but the one you tied, the working end finishes away from the loop. I’ve seen both variations and wonder the effectiveness of each.

It's a little hard to see, but the Taut-Line looks like it's tied incorrectly. On the back side of the know it should go diagonally across the humps to the last hitch. If it goes parallel to the length of the rope, then it will slip much easier.

I was thinking the same thing. I've always tied it parallel to the line; like a prussik or larks head. Rather than diagonal like a clove(as shown here).

The taut-line hitch shown at 0:28 is tied wrong. The last half-hitch is tied in the wrong direction.

I've replaced my use of the taught line hitch with the midshipman's hitch when I found it as a great knot to tie when loaded! I use it for guylines and even to hang ridgelines for hammock/tarp/awning/etc! Bonus: just now hit me that the tensionless anchor for rope rescue or rappelling is three turns + rethreaded overhand (or clove) which is basically two turns + two half-hitches!

I went through a bug discussion that the midshipmans is just an undressed tautline. Ashley's book of knots shows the tautline as going under for the first wrap and the midshipmans going over. I find that over time and use my midshipmans will want to dress itself moving into a tautline. I do agree that the awning hitch part of the midshipmans will tend to put more of a bend in the rope to grab better. Either way it's a great discussion to have. Thanks for the video

Both variations of the Rolling hitch which is tied same idea but the wrapping turns all lie below each other and Finnish with the same half hitch, this is the technique used in the merchant navy where a good grip is required under heavy load, good video

My go to hitch is the Faramond Hitch but I still use a Tautline Hitch in hard to reach places. I never bothered learning the Midshipman's hitch because of that. I never realized how close the Midshipman's Hitch was to the Tautline Hitch until watching this video. Thanks!

okay so does the midshipman's hitch do the same thing as the taught line hitch - in that it can be used to tighten a guyline? I guess I'm asking because I don't think I've seen that knot before. Cheers

That was a magnus hitch you started with at 0:25 followed by a taut-line or rolling hitch, no? Do you consult ashley book of knots?
@JasonsKnotChannel

I do and don’t. The good thing about Ashley’s is that it is big and comprehensive, a lot of people also enjoy all of the pretty pictures. The problem with Ashley’s is that it is outdated and written from one perspective but culturally and socially people use different knots for different purposes and also use different terms colloquially. A great example is the “slip knot” vs the “noose”, but examples can be made elsewhere. It’s always funny seeing people argue about knots because it shows that those people just don’t have a larger perspective and limited knowledge. There are a lot of books out there and I would always recommend getting a few but then also getting out and learning from experienced people in trades that use knots regularly. You’ll quickly see that there is a lot of variety of information out there.

@@JasonsKnotChannel I appreciate your channel and content. Ashley mentions two rolling hitches but I agree, it's outdated and one of them seemed to have morphed into a taut-line, or midship... so confusing. The magnus is obvious and a beautiful hitch for my sailboat snubber and such, at the end of the day that's all that really matters

I am carefull about adding new knots and loops , they must be needed and used to be added and I certainly plan on using this one for a long while, replacing the taut line. That means every morning and afternoon , I will tie the midshipman half a dozen times , along with others that I have all but masterd.

Both are variations of the most useful knot (because I use it to tighten the cord I use to hold my trousers up). The rolling hitch was used for to attach the line that went round the capstan used to hoist the anchor to the anchor cable. In French it is known as the ' noeud de bosser
