I invented a NEW KNOT.. and its a GAMECHANGER
The first publication of The "Bear's Grip" Hitch.. A new type of "Kamikaze" Remote Release Hitch.
I have decided to call it the "Bear's Grip" Hitch. And by all technical standards, it's not a single "knot," nor is it a single "Hitch" on its own...I don't think.
I would classify it as a rigging system, similar to a "Truckers' Hitch," for instance.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Here are some links to my other videos AND to my Knot Tying Kit if you want to support the channel:
Here are the VIDEO SOURCES for other Kamikaze Knots at this time of publishing.

    Great move (to get back in the canoe) ! Once, like you in a lake by the beach, I did practice my recovery technique... Eventually, after numerous attempts without success I decided to bring the canoe at the shoreline !! My excuse: my canoe was made of aluminium, thus the floating line was to high, thus I was never able to push/pull myself high enough to grab the inside bars and bring my body inside. Final comment: always have a rope attached to the canoe this way you can always grab it an pull the canoe as you are swimming. By the way, people, who were relaxing on the beach, were watching me trying and trying... they thanks me for the lesson. So, I thank you for the lesson. Next summer I will try your approach with a fibreglass canoe.

    I wonder if you could make a kamikaze knot version from 1 rope, but with the knot in the middle of the rope, and both ends going downward, one very secure to bear the weight being dropped, and the other remaining slack until you get to the bottom and give it a tug to release the whole thing. (whether the middle actually drops straight down or whether the rope needs to be "pullied" around whatever it was tied to at that point with one of the ends going back up before it's fully retrieved - shouldn't matter thaaaat much). I feel like this would be the idea solution for repelling. (still wouldn't use recreationally, but in a survival situation at least - so long as you don't need the extra length or have a longer rope... heck two ropes could even be tied together securely to make one retrievable rope like this). The main benefit just being that the releasing action no longer involves the same rope that the weight is being lowered on, so as you repelled (which naturally can jerk the rope easily) you're no longer risking unknotting it. So long as the slack rope remains slack it's all good. I know there's a knot out there that's kinda the opposite of this, using 2-ish ropes to lower an open "claw-esq" thing down (a loop and a thing to hitch it with). It's a knot that I've seen used as a demo for something like retrieving keys from a storm drain, where you lower it in and get it in position with one thicker rope, then "close" it around the object to be lifted with a second rope. So what I'm suggesting here is kiiiinda the opposite of that - though I imagine the actual knot itself would look very different.

    • @TheBearEssentials
      @TheBearEssentials 22 години тому

      Yes you absolutely can, there are many like this. However this requires a rope that is 2x the length of the drop. These kamikaze knots are for when you don’t have that
