  • - This IS a sheepshank. Yes you are right it is not a safe not.

    - No sheepshank knot is not a safe knot.

    - BUT this IS a sheepshank.

    - He never said it was safe, he didn't tell you to use it for climbing.

  • not a sheepshank

  • glad you pointed that out

  • WeHugTrees2 is right, thats not a sheep shank, im a 16 year old scout and know for a fact that this knot that john stewart has tied WILL come undone and if used in climbing could lead to injury or death, ExpertVillage take this video down and post a new video showing how the knot should be done
