Tarp tension system

The Artillery Loop.

Awesome!!!!!

Brilliant. However, I don’t have the patience. I would just have used a granny knot and used the saved time to get on with cleaning those gutters out.

Just got in the knot world, realised that if you know 10 basic knots and you've got some imagination, the possibilities are endless. Thank you my friend❤

thanks from Hong Kong

Unnamed knot: alpine butterfly 👍🏽

Why not use a Bowline on a Bight in place of that French Bowline. Any reason why one would be better?

What are your thoughts on the Alien Loop tensioner? I have a few and it seems like they would work good as a 2:1 tensioning device in place of a trucker's hitch, but find them awkward to use and not particularly effective, which is surprising to me considering how common they are now. Am I missing something? Do you have a trick on how to use them effecitively?

This knot without name is probably Alpine butterfly.

Smart

Honestly, I think a self biting truckers hitch is more simple. I have never had one go loose of fail.

Your loop is an Artillery Loop but I would prefer an Alpine Butterfly since they are easier to tie and just as strong. The closed loop tackle you use to alter the tension is a Poldo tackle.

it works but just seems unnecessarily complicated. whats wrong with a bowline to the tarp and a normal truckers hitch to tighten? its the same thing with two knots everyone already knows.

Spider 😁

A little overcomplicated, but I do like the first knot. After that i probably would've gone with a taut line or truckers hitch.

Manharnes knot

I can make it longer but won't stay...
I wanted to stay long ..😂

Alpine butterfly

What makes this better than a taught line? mechanical advantage? from what I can tell it combines the adjustability of a taught line and the mechanical advantage of a truckers hitch?

First class amature is darn near a master at knot improvisation

Alpine butterfly?

Tauline hitch and alpine butterfly is all you need. Easier and practical

Добрый день. Благодарю вас за интересный узел. Желаю вам крепкого здоровья. Удачи. Благополучия!

Very good video nice and clear easy to follow without the waffle . Most of the various rope knot tying comes primarily from Rigging on sailing ships i wish i was a Boy Scout

Complicated & unnecessary.
- Bowline
- Trucker's hitch
- clove hitch
any 2 of the 3 mentioned above would suffice.

Thanks for the video anyways.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✊🏻

Very interresting

Beautiful use.

Can we use it, Sir, as stabilizer knot for our Ladder to prevent it from sliding either sides.

Why don’t you call it a double bowline

Impressive! 🤩I practiced between poles and it works as well!
As long as the loops are of the same length you are safe.
Kinda universal knot: I am thinking about preparing several 6 feet/2 meters ropes with quick release knots on both ends, to secure stuff in my car's trunk.
That will take no time to add the tension knot.

Because why not overcomplicate everything when you're on a ladder.

There's still a lot of people (​​very confidently) getting it wrong. The knot at 2.30 is (as many already has mentioned) the artillery/manharness knot (Ashley 153). Tie them both and you'll see the difference. Alpine Butterfly is symmetrical, Artillery is not.

Thanks for showing. Very useful knots that you are showing here. The Texan should watch this video so less sofas, less ladders flying off from truck beds on the highways.

I'm sure the storm was impressed, and did knot (sic) do any damage.

That in line loop looks like an Alpine Butterfly

The loop half way down is an Alpine Butterfly....

I've heard it referred to as the "Alpine Knot"

Hey thanks for sharing! Have you tried this with slippery dyneema or spectra lines?

It is called the butterfly loop used in mountaineering for climbers to link together with no weakening of the rope and remains easy to untie. Very clever use of some of the best knots ever.

Gosh those are some COOL k-nots.

You win the Internet for the Day. Spectacular.

Alpine butterfly

great video but I think the bowline and trucker's hitch is enough

Genial 😮

I think what's fascinating for those of us with intermediate knot knowledge isn't that you're showing *knots*, you're basically showing inventions made up of knots we might already know.

Like, I knew the french bowline but never used it for anything; yet it comes up repeatedly in your videos in creative ways.

Love this channel!

Alpine butterfly

The loop knot that you made in the middle of the line is called a butterfly knot
