How To Tie the Sheet Bend Knot

[miyan12]

Excellent demo.

[Kjenzie]

wow, in our knot tying, you dont have to need 2 ropes -_- i can't believe an elementary can beat a professional

[musicmesilly]

@Kjenzie Ummm... Actually no. He wasn't just tying a knot. He was showing us how to tie two pieces of rope together. Thank you very much.

[Kjenzie]

@musicmesilly ok sorry :)

@Rezeric that's all this is. just ties a bowline with 2 cords and imagine the cord isn't cut.

@Rezeric you are right

DIFFERENT THICKNESS ROPES ARE NOT NECESSARY!!! The sheet bed is the best and easiest alternative to the pretty-but-otherwise-useless square knot. (I understand that flat "ropes," like webbing and belts are better tied together using the grass bend knot.) IF you have two different thickness ropes, then yes, the sheet bend is particularly useful, though the thinner rope must always be the one with the cross-over, as shown in the video.

@Mmmyess The Zepplin Bend is by far the best knot for joining two lines. After all, the knot was devised expressly for mooring huge Zepplins. The Sheet Bend & all others were unsatisfactory by comparison to this near-perfect bend (none ARE perfect). Even under extreme tension the knot can usually be untied barehanded (no spike needed).

The knowledge of the knot faded from memory with the Zepplins (even in Ashley' was unaware of it!) but I tout its superiority every chance I get.

Basically, a sheet bend is a reef knot used for two different sized ropes.

[bradsear]

is a sheet bend basically a reef knot but with 2 pieces of rope???

[cifta]

yes but instead of both ropes coming through the larger rope....one go's over the large rope instead of under it:)

[strikeme5]

it would be a reef know if the rope went under loop but it goes over so

its more like a bowline

[jellynation]

@bradsear nope

[techrick1210]

@bradsear

yes it is but this is a shit knot, dont use it as a knot you would use to attach two ropes together.

[jondunnproject]

step 4 is a little unclear & a photo still at the end would help, but overall well done

[picassoparken]

[Taurine93]

[ cant get past step 1

[tincoffin]

@Taurine93 Look up another method some people find tying knots one way difficult so try another.
