Kalmyk Loop Knot - How to Tie the Kalmyk Loop - ☠ Beware of Danger When Tightening ☠

The Kalmyk Loop is certainly a very good loop knot to learn. However, a little word of caution, this knot can be dangerous is not tied property. I found that if you tighten and dress the knot up the wrong way, you end up with a slip knot.

I would recommend that you make yourself fully conversant with the shape of the knot. When you tighten it make sure that the shape of the Kalmyk Loops knot remains the proper shape.

The Kalmyk Loop is easy to tie and also relatively easy to untie even if it has been under load.

Brilliant video. I couldnt get why sometimes it was working for me and orher times just doing a dangerous slip knot vetsion! Now i know 👍

[vinieux]

Thank you for showing the working end every time you begin your videos. Other knot video makers need to take some tips from you.

Thanks for explaining the key part which is tightening the knot. I've used this knot for years without failure until recently when some started slipping for the reason you describe. It never happened before so I was puzzled why it suddenly started to fail. A great quick-release knot that doesn't snag on release (unlike a bowline on a bight).

[Roonza]

Great explanation of this knot and comprehensively explains the difficulty in tying it correctly, hardly any videos explain the sensitive tying method and I wonder how many people think they've tied this properly when in fact they haven't.

For years, I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. Didn't use it because of that. Thanks for solving the mystery. Thanks from Texas, old chap.

I learned this knot yesterday. What a great knot! I had no idea. It's fun to tie, too (once I got the hang of it). Thanks for the video.

[davidceg]

Great video. I struggled FN up this knot for days until I watched this video.

[blaskotron]

I love this knot and it was very difficult to find a good demonstration prior to this.

This Kalmyk loop is very similar to an Eskimo bowline (EB) if a loop is made at the tail of the working end – thus making your EB a quick release knot –which is then passed through the locking loop as the final step in the EB before tightening. The advantage to this quick release Eskimo bowline over the Kalmyk is that the danger you identify in tightening the Kalmyk is not present with the EB. Can you tell me of any advantage the Kalmyk might have over the QR Eskimo Bowline, because I don’t see it.

I'm searching for knot but I can't find it anywhere. I'd like to make an auto locking knot to join 2 ropes, for example, tying a shoelace so I can make it tight and when I release it, it keeps tight

[JBullock]

Is this the same as the mooring/painters hitch? Or are there slight differences?

[IkaikaArnado]

The bank robbers knot is my favorite quick release hitch...

[justinmaddox]

interesting knot. my favorite, however, would be a truckers hitch, or for a loop on the end of a rope, I would use a Perfection loop, I just like it. I'm a retired army combat medic, and those simplified my life a lot. thanks for the video. I've never seen this knot.

It’s actually a horse tying knot from Mongolia. Kalmyks are a Mongolian people living in Caucasus. My guess is kalmyks serving in Russian navy spread this knot in the Russian navy, hence coming from Russia.

Today any child living on the Mongolian steppe can tie it. Also I see the same mistake I was doing when I learned it. When we tie our horses we usually give more rope to the working end, so there’s a larger bite and longer pull. Otherwise the horses can get loose. And since we have no stables and large fences around the horse will run free for miles until it’s herded in

[rafaellad]

In comparison to a bowline I terms the bowline can be easily tied in hand without the working end being wrapped around an object...the kalmyk is much easier to tie when the working end is wrapped around an object for tension but it is a real pain to tie in hand without it being wrapped around a pole or something...any feedback would be appreciated

[batg]

Khalmyk loop knot comes from Khalmyk Mongols - one of many ethnic groups from Mongols. This knot have been used widely in Mongolian nomadic herders. thnks

[shogun_arasaka]

A bowline with a quick release bight would be the better option no?

[equesdeventusoccasus]

It seems that if you passed the working end through the loop, after tying the knot, you would avoid the danger as the loop would squeeze the end of the rope as the wrong side was pulled, locking it down and keeping it from pulling through. If I am understanding the knot correctly. Let me know if I am wrong, please.

[larryenglish]

what does that do, that 2 half hitches+slip at the end, doesn;t do?
