Can a slip knot be used for tieing off a limb ? I've always used the bowline but I have a limb that's way out and I'm going to have to get a loop around it such as the slipknot features to hook it with a pruner and pull it tight. I will have a groundmens keeping constant pressure and holding it tight. Does this matter?
When you realize that a slip know is the mother of so many knots. A bowline is a slip knot with the short end passed through the loop. A butterfly is a pulled slip. A fisheman is a doubled slip. and so on. You just have to learn different ways to tie a slip and so many other knots become easier and more understandable when added from a slip knot starting position.
This video is 6 years old. But it's a GREAT PLEASURE to watch and brush up on some knots. Straight forward with out 30 minutes of BS. Thank you.
I seriously just cut down a 80 ft tree just now using your video. It was hanging over a power line and a hunting cabin sitting on a hill, tied a rope to my truck and cut that sucker down. Thanks brother

He just taught us how to hang are self cheers
Looks like Johnny Knoxville and Steve O had a baby.
Can someone tell what that kind of rope that is. I am trying to find the correct kind so I can practice arborist knots
The camera angle puts your hands and arms blocking view of the knots you're tying.
Professor nick
Wow
why bowline? its too difficult and takes time
What about the figure 8 knot between the bowline and Blake's hitch in case of rescue.
Slow down dude. I can't even follow you
Yea, well these people are ready to kiss your ass but, you owe $25 for my rope. Didn't mention how to use the bowline or untie it, now I have to cut my rope.
This helped me a LOT to tie off a tree and made me feel comfortable that the knot wouldn't give out on me! Thank you!
Not a "Marin spike, " rather, a "marlin spike hitch."
Not very helpful. Changed view and hands/arms in the way
Thanks !
Need a midline knot like the butterfly but will untie after extreme loading of the loop.
Hey let me show you my arms
I liked the video and am trying to learn these knots but most of the time i had trouble seeing thru your hands so i couldn't really tell what you were doing.
Well done, good view of your arms?
Cannot see demonstration because of camera angle.
I have a bunch of 20-30 foot rigging rope pieces I got in the "bag o rope". It's all 5/8 to 3/4 inch diameter. What should I do with these pieces? I'm new to rope rigging and trying to figure what to do with these sections. Thanks again for any help!
Thanks Nick!
I call the running bow line the dick knot
I’ve been tying and using Blake’s Hitch for 20 years. It cannot, and never has, “rolled out”. If you believe the safety knot is required, or even useful, you simply do not understand the dynamics of this knot (Blake’s Hitch).
Way too fadt
You talk to fast and didnt teach shit
Is your rope a static or a dynamic rope ?
After 30 yrs that bowline never fails….
I love those variations to that bowline. Thanks for sharing
