The Best for giving us Memory Pictures on how to remember ALL these knots! Blessings

[AdamDeSteCroix]

Best version of this on Youtube, thank you!

[nivekvb]

This is the best one I've seen. It's very clear and good photography.

This is the best tutorial I've found yet on this-I learned from an instructor, & he was great, but I didn't have it down quite yet. Lol also, he said make a snowman, put a scarf on it & put a carrot in it's nose as far as starting it-I liked your killing the ghost better😂

[CabinetOfCuriosity]

Again, multiple ways to do something, but helpful. I tie a scarf around the snowman (grandma ....) and poke them in the eye.

"Make a ghost, strangle the ghost and poke the ghost eyes" hahaha.. that's easy to remember. Great video.

REIs other video showing 1st person is better and twist version

I have a learning disability and this video was so easy for me to learn and I finally got my figure 8

[myfreestylebmx]

Several questions:

1: Why through the hard points and not the webbing loop?
2: Whats the benefits of this method over tying a figure 8 into your rope and clipping with a carabiner?

Also excellent video / presentation, keep up the great work!!

If you have a chance to meet her bring an engagement ring!!

[drelsan]

Is there a standard for which hard point you run the rope through first? Bottom then top or top then bottom? or does it not matter?

[Phoenixhunter]

Anyone know what harness that is? I like it

[Gunbudder]

i've never seen the figure 8 taught that way. i always just taught people to twist twice. twist once for overhand knot, twice for figure 8. pretty simple

[perryjanethesane]

Does it matter if the rope loop is smaller then the harness loop?

[masongreen]

I don't know why or how but for the life of me I cant figure out how she's making this knot. at one point I have my figure 8 is correctly tied and then the camera flips to show how she ties it into her harness and she has her figure 8 tied completely flipped and a different way. Am I the only one getting confused or is it just my lack of knowledge holding me behind? I've watched this video like 10 times now and I still don't understand why her figure 8 looks different when the camera cuts to show how to tie into the harness.

[toddmccormick]

Yeah, said before… but stopper knot is incorrect. Otherwise a great video.

Instead of the ghost thing, I like:
Make a guy
Give him a tie
Poke him in the eye
(Since it all rhymes)

[durragas]

I changed my brake pads from yt videos and now this... I think I'm ok, right?

[dvirhanum]

Thanks but for a better quality you ahould show the tie from your point of view. No one tieing a know from the other side
