How to Tie a Palomar Knot

Video Transcript

This is the palomar knot. And the palomar knot is claimed to be a really great knot, because its ninety-five to a hundred percent efficient. Usually, when you put a knot in a rope, you reduce the strength of your rope. So if your rope strength is five-hundred pounds, once you put a knot in it, you are going to reduce it usually by fifty-five to seventy-five percent. Somewhere in there, unless you're using a blood knot. Or this knot right here that I'm fixing to show you. So if we look right here on the table, you can see that I've got my hoop that I'm going to using, and here's my line here. And I just went ahead and took it and pulled a little bend into my line, like so. I'm going to take my bite I've got here. We'll pull it through, and it?s going to go over and through, by itself like so. Now this bite itself is just a regular double overhand knot. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to take it, and I'm going to pull my ring through my knot itself through my initial hoop. And as I pull it down, this creates something that is very very similar to a blood knot. Your palomar knot.
