Mitch, you did a fabulous job of teaching those knots. I am very familiar with knot work due to my trade and have rarely seen such clear instruction given on how to tie a knot. Great Job!!

[Nativesurvival]

@TheNativeSkills Thanks ; ) appreciate that..

The second knot will prove useful, the others are just fancy versions of regular knots. There are 3 types of knots, adjustable, quick release, and permanent. That would make a good video rather than showing one adjustable and two permanent.

@johnmonk66 I disagree, most knots can be made quick release, it is not a knot type, also these are not fancy versions of anything, Im not sure what a "regular" knot is. They are what they are, simply great knots to set up a fly camp, if you try them on tarps you will see the ease and versatility. One knot for each side of your Ridgeline that fulfill specific roles.. the other (Square) is a great all purpose knot for securing items to your ruck etc. 3 that complete most tasks, thus they are key.

I use this knot all the time.

@richardhummell2497 The reason i put Taut-Line Hitch and Two-Half Hitches in the same family is they both wrap around to compress on a line just like the Prusik Knot, one is better suited to tighten toward the dead-stop, the other away from the dead-stop.. other than one starting over, and the other starting under, they wrap the same, also Taut-Line has one more wrap, so in essence their the same knot..

Thanks ; )

Hi Mitch! Segho! The Square knot and the Double Half Hitch are related but the Tautening knot is related to the Prussic Family. Great Vid! keep up the good work!
