How to Tie a Vice Versa Bend

Video Transcript

Now say you have two ropes that are really unruly or slimy, you know, like dog ropes or whatever, you really can't get them to form into a nice knot that you're trying to put in there. This is where we come into with a vice versa bend. A vice versa bend has a lot of extra loops and actually helps hold those two ropes together in a nice, good knot. So, if you look down here at my table here, you see I've got two ropes, and they're coming in at opposite ends, of one another. So, what I?m going to do is I'm going to take my initial top rope, and it's going to loop under, then come around and loop back through like so. Now I'm going to take my blue rope, with the end of my blue rope, probably enough length here, and it's going to loop over and under, there we go, and back through to the same hole where we have like this, this, both ropes coming together like this. Well this isn't enough to hold these ropes together, so what we're going to do is, since this one is coming under it's initial line, we're going to put it back through over the top, and in through the loop. And we're going to do the same with the blue rope. It's going to come, since it's coming over it's initial line here, we're going to pull it back over and into the loop like so. And as we pull these together, it will pull into a nice vice versa bend.
