Do I get to bring my marlinspike?
Do I have access to the internet?
I think most people who aren’t good with knots tie knots that don’t hold and people who can tie a decent knot can untie them too.
Really, you can untie any knot, it just depends on how good and patient you are.
Not screwed at all.
I’d use a Bowline to secure the end of the rope to the trailer, and a Trucker’s Hitch at the other end.
The Bowline is easy to untie and the Trucker’s Hitch gives a 2:1 mechanical advantage.
Timber and truckers is what I was originally taught. I remember it taking a while to get the truckers hitch down then out of no where it was like ‘snap’, had it ever since lol
That knot comes in handy so often.
Years ago, my clothesline came apart (it had pinch clamps that failed to grab the line tight enough) and I used a Trucker’s Hitch along with Prusik knots to pull the clothesline close enough together to reattach it.
I now only buy clotheslines that come with the mini winch.
The ending was worth it.
This deserves a post in YouTubeClassics
You gotta love an Ylvis reference.
This is the correct answer.
Glad to be of service.
Not at all.
It depends on the load. A refrigerator? No problem. If it’s full of bodies, I’m probably in for a bit of trouble.
You litterally just ask a community of deviants how comfortable we are with rope.
Cutting ropes is a thing that only happens in movies. They don’t have Boyscouts in California I guess.
Every conceivable use for a rope has a knot that will accommodate it. Knots that don’t bind when under tension are a whole genre.
I think you’re vastly overestimating the average person’s knowledge about knots.
I know all about Knots! He played Barney Fife and Mr. Furley.
Not at all. Assuming I have enough rope, knowing the clove hitch, two half hitches and taut-line hitch means I can secure most loads without worry.
animatedknots.com is insane
I have the knots 3D app on my phone
I use Useful Knots on my android phone. Doesn’t require any internet connection so if I need a knot in the middle of nowhere I can still find the directions
That app also works offline
done it many times
Not at all?
All those hours learning knots for merit badges will finally pay off!
Nah yeah all good, just tie the fuck out of it, she’ll be right
It should be illegal to have trailer without ratchet straps 🤔
