useless video. no real direction considering the title
A clove hitch is a hitch, not a knot. This whole video is confusing, it helps to teach hitches and knots independantly. Also, buy a book and get expert instruction, before doing any of this on your own.
A butterfly knot is so much safer than a clove hitch.
No rationale, he is just wrong. Get professional instruction always!!
It’s because he’s wrong. All of these “expert” village videos are wrong. help get them off the tube by flagging.
I am curious about your bowline. You say to secure the pigtail (backup) to the other side of the loop, which is contrary to most every book I have ever read and courses I have attended. Not to say you are wrong, but I am curious what your rationale is for doing it that way? Thanks.
