I thought the timber hitch was used for hauling logs as it was secure when pulled the longways of the log, wouldn't bind under heavy loads, easy to tie and untie even with very heavy line......clove hitch would not be used in this scenario.

The timber hitch carries the load, the killick is for guidance only. Timber hitch first, then killick's as needed, to attach to mule team (originally).

Nice to see a video showing knots in practical use. Thanks. I think the reason why the clove hitch is used so much, even though it is a bad knot, is because it looks pretty and symmetrical and I think that is why historically people are attracted to it.

The clove hitch isn't good on steel trailers. My brother swears by it but I use a constrictor knot.

Thanks, Jason. It's good to see the comparison like that. Careful of the poison ivy, though. 😜

Every knot has its use. The clove hitch is great on a boat, for tieing fenders on the side for example. The timber hitch is great for the application you displayed, hence it's called the timber hitch. This is the case with every knot, every knot has its reason. A good read about knots is the Ashley book of knots.

Add a half hitch to the Timber hitch and you have a hitch that is twice as strong if a load is maintained.

As an ironworker I use the clove hitch daily. In a real world application you always finish it with a half hitch, always. Prevents it from loosening when not under tension. Also you refer to both ends as working ends. I've always been taught that you have a working end (hoisting or pulling from) and a dead end. Probably just semantics, but I can't help but notice. Over all great video and content.

What you call the working end, he calls the standing end/line/part and what you call the dead end, he calls the working end/line/part. I think this is the usual convention in knot tying because you are "working" with the loose end to make a knot, while the other is just fixed, or "standing".
