One of the best demonstrations of the Siberian Hitch on YouTube.

You are simply the best teacher on YouTube

Best demonstration of tying this knot that I've seen. Thanks!

This is the best video teaching this knot.
A cinching figure 8 with a quick release?
Yes please.
Thank you!

I saw many videos on Youtube regarding the Siberian hitch, but this one is the best, and not just because of the bigger rope diameter:) Only in this video, I understood which knot is the base (figure 8) for the Siberian Hitch, and after you know it, you can easily control yourself tying it. Also, a very important aspect is to move the knot slightly right on the tree, it makes the final result more accurate and assembled because otherwise, the loop with the main rope will be slightly outlying from the tail.

Nice demonstration with a calm voice of instruction.

About the 8th video I’ve watched completely understood it with your one thank you 👍🏽👍🏽

I just watched five videos on the SH and yours was the best . The others did not show a close-up of the finished knot. They did not show how to use your right hand for the last bite. And they did not show how to flip the knot over for the final dressing.

Thank you for this video and the other instructional videos you have made. Can you please provide an example of how I could use this particular hitch? What would be a good application of this hitch? Thank you!

Another super awesome video man. I'm just pecking through your videos learning useful knots and stuff after seeing your other video. One thing i would add is when this knot is useful vs say the knot you used in your pulley video where you said the other knot was more "permanent" so i'm assuming its more secure than this Siberian hitch?

[bryantreacher]

This knot is a figure of 8 knot with a slip on both ends, I use a overhand knot with both ends slipped which is a better knot.

I have seen climbers lower them selves down on a rope to pull on the other end and pull the rope down after them. Is this the knot they use?

[bronoun]

When siberians do this knot they throw the live end and tie the knot one handed . Saw it done about 30 years ago and still trying to figure out how.

Is it sure for tether in saddle hunting ??

[NordicSnowhammer]

Would a taunt line hitch work as well for this. It seems like it does but I don't know if it's as secure as this one. I tie those instinctively.

[roadrunner]

Very good. no slight of hand tricks in this video.

What use does this know have? It doesn't seem to be usable for tarps and hammocks given that it doesn't easily allow you to adjust the tightness of the working end.

I would like to see the flying bowline done in really slow motion, because its hard to teach muscle memory. 😉

This method does not result in a proper Siberian hitch. This can slip out under load if the tree is slick or the rope is pulled at the wrong angle. Users beware.
