Three QUICK RELEASE KNOTS you NEED to know

Here are three easy, quick release knots that are good to keep in your back pocket for a rainy day! For some it's as simple as adding a bite to a standard knot, and for others it's a bit more work.

In this video you'll find the Highwayman's Hitch, Shred Bend with a bight, and the Riverman's Bend.

Let me know below what kind of knots you would like to see next, or just what kind of videos in general.

Most excellent. In these parts we secure a line from ourselves to our water craft so as not to lose the craft downriver in case one is thrown out of one's kayak. I like that riverman's knot. Looks very secure, yet would unload instantly in an emergency. Much appreciated kind sir.

Excellent video. Thank you! Got an extra tip though: If you wanna enhance the highway man’s hitch - Right after you pull up your second bite, pass the working end around the standing end, and then pull up the the third bite to complete the knot. Adds some extra security

This was awesome! I've been struggling with these and your video made it so much clearer

I use all these at one time or another. Highway is probably the one I use most. Good post my friend.

[jackmurphy]

[StichesSteel]

I never seen that first knot...I have to try it out more often

Last one is perfect for my weighted dips. Rope was the only thing i got right now lol

Excellent. I'm into knots, too, and your terminology as well as execution was spot on.

I prefer to use a slipped Zeppelin hitch or a quick hitch.
For tying to a spar I always use a slipped ground line hitch.

I use a double sheet bend and a rivermans knot when rigging a lot. They are really simple strong and self locking.

Question: is this the knot used by Those who Repelle alot to retrieve there ropes !
I often wondered how when they repelled down and they have to continue on do they get there ropes back ?

[daromirfirunsson]

I don't like the highwaymans hitch, because if the diameter of the object is way larger than the rope, it could capsize, even with "more secure" versions.

Highwayman hitch is NOT secure still it may be released after twitching. Zhukov's hitch is much more secure

Ropes have 'bights', not 'bites'.

Sorry but I think your sheet bends are incorrect - the working end is on the wrong side. When you tie a sheet bend, both working ends need to exit the knot on the same side (even if one of them is slipped)
