The Double Fisherman's Bend, The Knot That Could Save Your Life

The Best way to connect two ropes together. The Double Fisherman's Bend. This works on both Equal and Different sized ropes. This tutorial is for beginners and advanced levels together- all in a quick and simple format, who are looking to tie two ropes together / join two ropes.

The double fisherman's bend is used on a prusik loop, and it's downside is binding up. For one that doesn't bind, check out the Zeppelin Bend or 69 Knot!

I've heard your requests and have been busy behind the scenes writing a book that you can take with you out into the field. I've also been working on a blog that goes in depth on all these things! Should be released soon!

Your friend,
DJ

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

Thanks for watching! If you'd like to support the Channel, I made a Knot Tying Reference Card + Practice Ropes to follow along with the videos!

Fun fact, we use this knot in hang gliding. I trust it with my life on every flight.

[skjelm]

Short, on point, well filmed - Thank you!

[NotCreative]

Always wanted to know knots better. Your channel has helped with that so much.

[oeliamoya]

Very clear instructions. I wish every YouTube tutorial was as well done as this.👍

[shashakeeleh]

Tuna fisherman here. Love this knot and all your videos!

[Ionic_Projection]

After tying a square knot on my bracelet and it just suddenly untying itself, it was time to learn a new knot!

This one is elegantly simple and incredible strong! Thanks for the simple and effective lesson on it!

[RoccoHorvath]

Thank you for including the different use cases between this and the zeppelin bend!

[kampbushcraft]

Double fisherman's knot... Probably it is the knot I have been using the most... Thanks for the video!

[natasha]

The algorithm got it right today. I have always had an interest in knots. I find this video far more helpful than the diagrams and written instructions I’ve read in books. Thank you.

[taylor.douthit]

Happy I came across your video. I kept getting cross matched because I went the same direction each time. Much appreciated!

[BradNeumyer]

Excellent description of this knot. I was struggling with it but the way you walked through it made a lot more sense than some other resources. Can’t wait to use it at work this week!

[starr_ship]

Sat down last night and made a single line out of a bunch of scraps I had just for practice, and discovered this knot also makes for a handy light-load tensioning knot too. Especially after it has held a load on it and is nice and tight. Strong enough to support a blanket roof on a PVC fort at least!

[Ian_MacGregor]

I know I’m gonna come back and watch this like 10 times! Gonna have to use this for tying anchor lines for floating wakeboarding obstacles at my wake park!

[bluwtrgypsy]

The #1 Most Helpful channel. Thank you DJ.

[tonywright]

Another great video! I've been meaning to re-learn sheet bends but that knot looks epic. You also answered my question about what to do if I want something I can untie. Thank you!

[Franciso-sobg]

I just learned this knot using paracord. I made a few bracelets and used this knot on the ends to create a slide closure type for the bracelet. They also explained how one side would have an 'X' and the other side would have an '=' equal sign. Easy to tie. I don't care using it for paracord bracelets tho. They are hard to tighten with one hand.

[Tosadar_Outdoors]

Practical, I'll try this knot next time going camping 😍🔥👌🍻💯

[Scopt_]

You're almost 1m subs. Keep it up! Thank you for teaching me these knots, this is a game changer for camping especially those tool you make!

[mat_isla]

It's been 2 weeks and my friend still cant untie his shoes 🤣 tysm
