This is an amazing video thank you so much! I’m going to mountain warfare school next month and the video they have is a little hard to follow because of the speed and angle. Thanks!!!

This is a very strong knot in joining two ropes.

Hi. Can this bend be recommended for safe use on cordages of different thickness like that of the sheet bend? TIA!

It would be better if the know was either tied without a crossover, or dressed after to eliminate the crossover. Only correctly tied nots a rated and safe to use. Please fix the video. Thanks.

How does this knot compare to the Carrik bend? Can it run out?

[soulsurfer]

where can someone get the rope that is in your videos I am in firefighter school and need something like that.

[alexandrachatell]

Before you added the red rope would that knot just be a figure 8?

[minituremarvels]

Apparently this bend can kill you if used for abseiling

What is the purpose of the overly loud, obnoxious, repetitive sound track and silly splash page opener? Not every viewer is a sixth grade boy. Please take a class in video production. New viewers beware: turn the sound off
