This knot can be used in everyday life, a great knot for the jobsite, and overall excellent for retrieving your rope or isolating frays in a rope. Great for Camping, Prepping, Survival and Bushcraft.

I tie all these knots with Paracord, and they are considered Survival knots, bushcraft knots and camping knots.

Wether you want to learn how to tie down a tarp, how to set up a tent, what to do with a fray or cut in your rope, or how to join two ropes together - this is the guide for you!

It would be super useful to have short videos like these for every knot. By the way, nice channel, keep it up

[woodstream]

Nice job. Besides how to tie, you give practical applications as well and don't make the video too long. New subscriber.

The tip about using the knot to easily retrieve a line secured to a high limb is HUGE. THANK YOU!!

[UrsaMajorPrime]

I'm an Eagle Scout and love knots...how have I missed this my whole life!?! Thank you! Great simple presentation too, well done.

[stevechance]

That's a nice knot! 32 years ago, I got "The Klutz Book of Knots" for Christmas. The book has all the best knots. I've never needed to tie a knot, ever

[tgeliot]

I very much appreciate that you start with what the knot is good for, and then even add more uses, rather than just showing how to tie it.

[angelacarville]

I got 50 seconds into the video, ran downstairs, grabbed some line, and tied it correctly on the first go. Great mnemonic!

[ChrisFar]

Damn this knot is unreal. Definitely gonna use this next time I'm out. Also, that Axe Mask is 🔥👌

[FarhanRehmanSocial]

I absolutely love that application of the knot for climbing a tree, as you mention at the end! Such a useful knot! Thanks so much for such a clear and simple way of tying this knot! It was literally EXACTLY what I need for a Paracord bracelet and necklace I wanted to make with the option of adding charms to it as gifts! Thank you! So awesome!

Thanks. Short and precise presentation and no 9 minute intro about the Indonesian kid planting coconut trees so that one day the coconut husk will be spun into a rope

[williamstreet]

I've used this knot for years. It is one of my favorite knots for mid line attachments. When super loaded, it cannot be broken. I used it on a 4:1 ratio with a 6, 000 lb. tractor pulling. Even a strong marlin spike could not break the knot.

What’s really amazing is how the wires on my earbuds and other devices are able to somehow do this knot and many others all on their own when nobody is watching.

Man you hit it out of the ball park, again. Been using the ABL forever but didn't think about using it in this fashion - just like the figure 8 jam knot you offer refinement for these knots and the ideas behind them. Every time I learn a new application for an old (or new) knot I'm gaining a new tool. Most people don't realize that instead of going out and buying a gadget, they can add some knowledge and 1)always have that "gadget" whenever they have proper cordage and 2)save money, of course. Really appreciate your content and great cinematography (going 24/48 fps is the way to do it). Why I'm subbed and notified.

[YanickGirouard]

This knot is indeed the queen of all knots. So useful! Thanks for sharing! Another good use for it is to create a series of loops in order to secure luggage on a backpack, in a trailer or on a sled. Il allows you to create an actual square mesh (kind of like a net, ##) instead of crossing lines diagonally (XX), which might slip more easily.

I have never seen the Alpine butterfly used for rope retrieval.

That's REALLY useful.

[hugodesrosiers-plaisance]

Super useful for bushcraft and camping. Very simple and elegant knot.

[davidaxman]

The tree trick was great, a logical problem I've never solved that simply. I have to say, since learning the alpine butterfly knot it's become one of my most used knots.

[nemtudom]

I have no idea if i'll ever need it, but this feels like the kinda thing everyone should know

[Wundrdawg]

Very GOOD. Since my boy scout days in the 60's I've been an avid fan of simple yet effective knots. I'm surprised it's taken this many years for me to see this one. It's definitely going WAY up on my list as an often used knot when I'm out in my back-country mode. Many thanks... you have a great channel sir.
