How to Tie the Kalmyk Loop Knot #knot #letsgetknotting

In this video you will learn how to tie the Kalmyk Loop Knot.

The Kalmyk Loop is a good end-of-line loop knot, but I personally prefer using the Imitation Slipped Bowline because it is not only fast and easy to tie, but less likely to fail if tied wrong. One issue with the Kalmyk Loop is that if you don't dress it correctly, it can become unsafe. However, once you learn to dress it properly, it's a very useful knot.

Bushcrafters often use the Kalmyk Loop because it's easy to tie and, being a slipped knot, it's very simple to untie. It might even be an alternative to the Bowline.

Easiest explanation of how to tie the Kalmyk loop knot that I've found so far. Starting the working end with a pronated hand (palm down) makes tying it a bit easier. With the other videos I often ended up with the quick release loop also being part of the main loop and that's wrong. I realize now that I was using the wrong part of the main loop to snug and finish the knot. I should have been tightening the knot with, in this case, the right side of the main loop. Not the left.
That is, to tighten/dress the knot using the part of the main loop on the same side as the working end. After your instruction the "quick release" part of the knot isn't at risk of being part of the main loop. Now to learn the Kalmyk loop knot on the other side starting with the other hand loll. Thanks so much for your help.

This is my favorite knot to temporary tie rope to pole. The most fastest method to attach a rope. A quick release option make it one of best knots all over world!
