Very good tutorial on the three related hitches. We used the clove hitch as a starting knot for square lashings (wood tower construction for Scouting). The reason is that the constrictor knot is difficult to untie when manilla rope becomes wet. Now we changed from natural fiber rope to synthetic fiber rope (good quality split film polypropylene) we changed to the constrictor. The clove hitch has insufficient holding power with the synthetic rope.

We still do teach the clove hitch, but we virtually don't use it without an additional third loop. I use the double constrictor sometimes for permanent fixations that are impregnated with (epoxy) resin.

Super clear tutorial and info! I was searching for a method to tie a mini glass bottle as a pendant to a necklace using only the necklace as string. The constrictor knot worked perfectly! TYSM 💞

Very helpful. Liked the way you showed how each knot based on one before. Going to stick in my head better!

I like this. I use paracord frequently with loop and binding knots for temporary support in build projects.
(When there's no assistant paracord has to "hold this here while I drill.")

I have a fair-ish amount of knot knowledge but an effective knot in rope may not be as much in cord.

Bowline and square stay true but I'd really like a run through of which knots behave well in paracord and which would be best to avoid.

Well done. I use the constrictor knot the most. Sometimes I'll tie a reef knot around the opposite side for extra hold on a Bell rope core or lanyard. Thanks.

This is one of my favourites. We go camping a bit and until now my go to was the clove hitch! Not any more!

[dirkbergstrom]

For camp construction on the trail, my hands down favorite is the constrictor. It saves a lot of cirdage over traditional lashings and bindings an is extremely reliable. When tied with tarred line for constructing shelters, camp furniture, etc., you can come back to it years later and find it holding just as tight, even here on the "wet" coast.

I prefer the constrictor knot. A version of the constrictor knot called the transom knot is used to tie two poles together at right angles.

[manfromdirt]

Learning knots are so important. It reminds me of my time in the Boy Scouts. I have forgotten most knot tying . Lol, I am in a moving situation where tying knots has become super helpful. I think the boa knot is the strongest from this video.

[nickketelaars]

Yes the constrictor knot is a better knot but I prefer the clove hitch as a Boy scout because when we tie knots for building contructions with poles and it needs to stand for a week long for example at our camp it is easier to loosen after. Because when constrictors get wet they get even tighter and are impossible to get loose.

Wow thx really helpful ☺ now ik which one to use 🙂

[gabrielpichorim]

WHat if my objetcs are large and I dont have enough rope for two loops. How can I make a knot that alow tightening by pulling the loose ends, while maintaining the tension when realeased, with just one loop of rope around the object?

[toddmalone]

As another post mentions, the Boa knot is NOT the same as the Double Constrictor, and you can find instructions how to tie the Boa in other videos

[nerfRitesh]

please tell how to do the boa knot without the end access. like making in directly in between a rope

[undefinednull]

No, I'm not sure which one I prefer, because You didn't show Us how slippery they are on the post!

Can anyone share this info anytime?

[Erikito]

I'm with you! Constrictor Knot it's my favorite. Thanks for the vídeo!

[Runedragonx]

Fun fact: The clove hitch is the exact same knot used to finish the cleat hitch, the big difference being that a cleat hitch is tied around a 'TT' shaped cleat usually found on docks, where the line is first wrapped around the base of the cleat and a clove hitch is tied over the two "horns" of the cleat.

[LKDesign]

The difference between tieing the clove hitch and the constrictor knot is not going under the X but going over the standing line before! Some people show the clove hitch "going under the X" just for the line to slip to the side into the regular position where it ends up if you just go through the upper left bend. Very irritating to see "professionals" do that.

[alexchan]

That's very good but I don't know which type of rope are you using can you replied me the type of rope???

[kilerkg]

I've always been puzzled why the clove hitch gets mentioned by everyone, instead of the constrictor
