ZIP TIE Knots

Rope is hardware. Knots are software.

My favorite channel for knots. Dude rocks

I dont understand, if you dont use a zip tie, how do you cut the next guy?!?

That was a lot of effort, and changing directions to finally get that to come free at the end. A few of these running down should prevent this from being possible in most circumstances. Fantastic video as always

I still favor they style used in cable lacing, used widely in telephone central offices. It's simpler and more secure, and it can be slipped so that it can be undone. It involves a single lark's head and is secured with a single over hand of the two remaining ends (like when tying shoe laces). The overhand is the thing that can be slipped. And, when you crank down on that over hand, you can get the bundle much, much tighter. This something I use quite often. It's been my go-to knot for bundling ever since I learned it.

Wow, now I don’t have to use the Canadian Jam knot all the time!😅 Thank you for showing these knots. You are my favorite knot channel.😊

That first knot was awesome! Okay will be using that one everywhere.

Cool knots. I use a spin-off from a knot First Class Amateur presented a while back, the Auto-Locking Trucker's Hitch. Difference is, I start with a fixed loop in the end of the cordage, loop in the working end to auto-lock, tighten then put in an over hand or slipped overhand to keep it from pulling back through. Works for me and is easy to retain since I use the auto-locking hitch all the time following his video.

FIRST CLASS AMATEUR thank-you for very interesting and undoubtedly useful knot!

I like it a lot this has so many uses. This was probably a similar knot to what I have seen in early electronics/valve radio systems to hold the harnesses together.

Nice. I like that one. Its more secure than the bedroll zip tie version

Such a great video! Thanks for sharing this brother!! 🫡

COOL KNOTS! Thanks for showing how to tie these.

Zip Tie Hitch Genius knot, thanks

AV guys with a more permanent application should look into the historic telecom art of "cable lacing". This is performing a series of hitches along a bundle of cables to hold them together which can also secure them to a rack and allow cables exit at various points to make a wiring loom. A single point is done using a clove hitch, backed with a reef knot. Clifford Ashley would call the same process "stopping" a sail or flag, (encircling one dimension, where lashing encircles in both). Several slide and grip knots also serve well as zipties, some need to be turned "inside out" to grip in the right direction. Im personally partial to Blake's hitch.

Man, I like the 2nd knot. Will add to my arsenal

You teach very well! Thank you.

Thanks for another great knot!

First class tutorial. Thank you for that. 👍

My 13 year old son is going to absolutely love learning this knot! 🤣
