How to tie knots (reef, sheet bend, bowline...)

[ilikeleslie]

You've tied a reverse bowline. That variant is known to jam.

[pikalo20]

Clove hitch is done incorrectly, you make the "x" shape and thread it through the middle making it go under both ropes, you only went under one rope

[embean3991]

the first one is a square knot

[pikalo20]

@embean3991 You call it the square knot, it's highly commonly called the reef knot.

[rickb731]

[Drecluse]

Thanx it helped a lot :) but I think the first one is a Square Knot.

[mishmeister030594]

The square knot is simply another name for a reef knot.

[duekip79]

[CrimsonFlame504]

Thanx it really helped

[flyguy1333]

i thought the first one was a square knot...

[aacchhiilllleess]

it is, but another name for it is the reef knot, most knots have more then 1 name

[Whuntmore]

Reef knot is a square knot. same knot, different names. There's another one that similar, called a Thief Knot. looks exactly the same, but the loose ends are not on the same side.

w8 nvrmnd cant...........sry man; google it is all advice i can give @ this point........

[wootbug]

huckman123! i knows how........... if u gimmi yer e-male address than i can emale u a instructins

[ScorpionRegent]

The sheet bend is a left handed sheet bend, which is a weak variant. The "clove hitch" isn't. I appreciate that the effort was made, but there is a need for more attention to detail.

[huckman123]

Who knows how to do a square lashing knot!?!?!

[vontsec]

the first knot is also known as a square knot

[barakrosemann]

That's an American name for a reef knot. An English book about knots I read mentions that, and there's a totally different square knot which is purely decorative.

[rroyl]

This guy should not be demonstrating how to tie knots if he does not know how to tie knots. The knot he demonstrates as a clove hitch is not a clove hitch. It is actually a simple overhand knot. Try tying it and pulling on one end. It turns into an overhand knot. When you pull on one end of a clove hitch, it remains a clove hitch. This video needs to be removed from you tube. It is not a good idea to teach bad information.

ok dude, nobodys perfect, its a fucking knot, your a dick. people like you should not have a youtube account is what needs to happen. lay off. commenting a vid you opted to watch was your choice. i thought it was very useful. go play in traffic little twat.

[rroyl]

I am going to ignore the fact that you did not capitalize the first letter of the first word in any of your sentences. Your first sentence contains two comma splices. The comma after the word "perfect" should be a period since it is preceded by a complete sentence. The comma after the word "knot" should be a period. The commas, that you use, create comma splices between complete sentences. "You're a dick." is a complete sentence and should not be preceded by a comma in this instance.

[rroyl]

In your first sentence, the word "nobody's" requires an apostrophe, since it stands for "nobody is". In your sentence, "it's a fucking knot.", the first word requires an apostrophe, since it means "it is". The word "its" is a possessive pronoun, and is not appropriate in this sentence. You use the word "your" incorrectly. It should have been "You're a dick.". The first word represents "you are". It is not proper to use the possessive pronoun "Your" to represent "You're".

[rroyl]

The sentence that begins with the word "people" needs to be completely revised. The next sentence is a very good two-word sentence. In the next sentence, I would recommend adding the word "on" after the word "commenting". The sentence that begins after the word "choice" is an excellent sentence. The last sentence requires a comma between traffic and little.

[rroyl]

My revision of Codyvan92's comment would read as follows:

Ok dude, Nobody's perfect. It's a fucking knot. You're a dick. What needs to happen is that people like you should not be able to have a Youtube account. Lay off. Commenting on a vid you opted to watch was your choice. I thought it was very useful. Go play in traffic, little twat.

[kevjay777]

rroyl, I just gave you all thumbs up on each of your comments for handling codyvan(aka cowarldy, foul-mouthed punk) in such fine, and may I say grammatically correct fashion.

Stay the course Pilgrim. ;-)
