2 Ropes Together
The 5 Strongest Ways to Tie Ropes Together
Sharing buttons:
in this video I'm going to show you five
different ways to tie two ropes together
[Music]
the first one is going to be the blood
knot this one works really well for
monofilament lines but also works with
standard rope in light as well starting
with the working ends overlapping each
other and going up see ways you'll begin
to take the first working end and
looping itself around itself and the
other line it helps to keep that loops
tight and you'll do three to five loops
when you're done doing the loops you'll
tuck the working end between the two
lines
[Music]
the next step is to mirror the other
side doing the exact same thing only
going the opposite direction
and you'll finish by tucking the working
end in the same fashion between the two
lines
[Music]
when you're done the working ends are
going to face opposite directions
[Music]
the next knot is the triple fisherman's
knot this is great for absorbing shock
and it uses the coils to absorb a lot of
the energy you could say it's more
cushion for the pushin and it's a reason
why a lot of climbers use this knot two
creatives you'll start in very much the
same way as a blood knot with the
working ends overlapping and pointing in
opposite directions you'll do three
wraps around itself and the other line
but instead of tucking the working end
between the two lines you're going to
weave it inside of the coil
[Music]
the same thing is done on the other side
going the opposite direction
[Music]
when you pull it tight and finish it off
the two coils are gonna fit nicely into
each other
you
[Music]

the Flemish band or the figure-eight
Bend is a solid knot that can hold a lot
of weight to start the figure-eight
you'll begin with a bite and you'll
twist it twice once the bite is twisted
you'll reach through the eye and pull
the working in through it to create the
figure eight
[Music]
the working end of the second line
follows a line of the figure-eight
starting from the working end
[Music]
the finishing knot should be neat
without any crossing lines
you can do an overhand knot around the
standing end to finish the ends if you'd
like this helps secure everything and
it's also referred to as a safety knot
the sheet Bend is a good knot to tie
quickly and it's really easy to untie it
can also be used with two lines of
varying diameters you'll start with the
bite into the thicker line and with the
working end of the second line we'll
bring it through the eye of the bite
you'll take the working end of the
second line wrap itself around and tuck
it underneath itself
[Music]
to make this more secure pass the line
through itself a second time to turn it
into a double sheet Bend this knot is
good for two ropes of varying diameters
but if the difference of the diameters
is super drastic then the next bet is
the next knot which is the racking Bend
the racking Bend is a knot that I'd turn
to if the diameters are super different
such as a heaving line for pulling a
much heavier diameter rope the heavier
rope can be either on a bite or on a
loop not such as the figure 8 loop shown
here bring the working end of the
smaller diameter rope through the eye
and make a series of figure 8 weaves and
for this you will want three to five
laps
[Music]
to finish off the snot you'll tuck the
working end under the last wrap to keep
it secured
