Knots for setting up a camp

[swissgearlabs]

The "knot-topic" is somewhat recurring, I know...

But since once in a while I am asked to show how I do knots and what knot I use in what situation, I decided to share my way of doing things via a YouTube Video:

Please be aware that these knots are used for setting up a camp, and not for climbing or other dangerous activities!

Awesome video brother, You showed all the knots i personally use. I don't use the butterfly knot as i just make two loops on a line, pass them through each other, then pull on the loop, which makes a secure loop anywhere on a line plus to untie you just pull the line on both sides of the loop away from each other.

If you know what i mean what is it called

Edit to add... The loop i describe will tighten with any pull on the line but it's good for hanging things on as it will tighten and lock it in place.

I just tried the knot you described an like it!

Cool stuff, never had seen this knot before and have no clue what it is called. I like how it is actually tightening when you pull the line, which can be useful, indeed. And it is undone easily.

Cheers mate

Thanks for a great video. Easy to follow and really useful for a newb like myself. Have taken to practicing with a length of paracord whilst watching tv.

A great video, it's really clear how to do the knots, and I like your different versions.

Excellent tutorial. I love watching the way other people do things. I have my own way of doing many of those same tasks but your knots look better in a few cases. You are a very good teacher. Using the larger rope certainly helped. Thanks.

Thanks for your video, it is very good.
The "Anbindeknoten" you use is the Falconer's Knot.
