How to Tie a One Way Bend

Video Transcript

Now a One Way Bend is a good bend to put in a rope and if you are having to drag a rope through some obstructions, maybe through water what this will do is take three of the ends and actually point them in one direction so it gives you a kind of stream lined look to it. Here I will show you this one. We will use the table here and I have already got a nice loop started in this rope and we will slide it underneath and then over my working end and then back under my standing end. This is the normal Sheet Bend here and what makes this different is when you have two ropes pointing in one direction and one is over here on this other side. What we are going to do is loop this through my standing end and then under and through my loop here and this creates three ropes traveling in one direction so this rope could easily be pulled through obstructions or through a wall or however it is that this application can be used. It is very nice. Here we will do this one more time just so you have got a good grasp on this. We will take this rope here and run my one rope through, run it under my working line first and then my standing line to have it look like this, back up over and then under my standing line of the initial rope and then loop it back around and through the knot like so.
