Single fisherman vs double fisherman vs triple fisherman's knot tested in different ropes

[charlieg]

I only use quintuplet fisherman’s. It’s how I join 2 60m ropes to make a single 70m rope

I’m a firefighter who uses rope a lot, I’d love to see a video about rope rescue and the like. The testing is very interesting. Great stuff.

If there's one thing this channel has taught me, it's if I ever go climbing I'm making a climbing chain out of steel shackles.

I have a 6mm cord that has a nylon sheath and dyneema core. They recommend a triple fisherman's when joining it together, which surprised me because in my head the grippy nylon is on the outside, so it shouldn't matter. Now I see that a core can just slip right through under the right circumstances. Although it still seems like a double fisherman's would still fail by breaking and not slipping.

For those that don't realize it, a fisherman knot is just an overhand knot tied around another end, be it's own opposite end or another line's, followed by tying the same thing again with said other end.

Ryan, it would be interesting to use a laser thermometer during the stress test, hold the beam on the knot area as you pull. You'd get a pretty accurate reading on how hot each material gets when stressed. The comparisons would be interesting data. Just an idea.

Great way to address the long-standing concern that with so-called tech cord you always have to use a triple 🐠🐠🐠

This is actually super interesting for tying fishing leaders. Braided line is incredibly slippery so joining it to mono line is always a weak point.

[harlanstockman]

I am astounded by how well the dyneema did.

[tonymurphy]

I normally use a triple fisherman's for thin cord - mainly for 6mm cord for prusiks. Sometimes I go crazy and use a Flemish bend instead. Would be cool to see some pull tests ...

good to see i can keep using a double and not die.

[richardf]

Even though I’m an arborist, I love watching these test!

[LoveAndClimbing]

I get a slightly larger joy from your videos when you test stuff that is exactly what use (in this case, the double fisherman's in Sterling PowerCord) than your other videos.

[undaware]

I'd love for you to test a knot we often used for setting up a rappel. It was a double fishermans with a pigtail between them. We used them to make breaking the knot down easier. One line was tied as normal and the other had a single tucked wrap before tieing the other double fishermans. Please, please test.

It was interesting to see that dynema has a use with knots tied in it. Just to see if the knot slips.

[hummerchine]

That slipping out of the sheath! How interesting!

I have a 25 kn kong frogg leash for my dog which i love and feels very secure. Would love to see kn testing on a genuine kong frogg vs knockoff ones from amozon!

[adamfrombefore]

Can you use a Flemish Bend for Sterling PowerCord to make a loop?

[RickJames-hn]

I'd love to see this with the bluewater titan chord (dyneema core nylon sheath)

[prestonakin]

People don't see it bc of the usual camera angle, bit you've got some of the biggest balls in the industry for some of the testing you do to bring us the most legit and up-to-date information . Hats off to ya mate
