Overhand Loop: Knot of the Week - Step-by-Step Tutorial for Beginners

Описание: Unlock the fundamentals of knot tying with this week's featured knot: the Overhand Loop. As part of the Knot of the Week series from Knot School, this instructional video breaks down the simplicity and versatility of the overhand loop knot—also known as the loop knot. Learn how to tie it step-by-step and understand its best use cases across outdoor activities like climbing, sailing, camping, arboriculture, and even fishing. Whether you’re new to knots or brushing up on the basics, this tutorial is designed to help you master a foundational loop knot quickly and effectively.

However, not all knots are created equal. In this video, we’ll also explore the limitations of the overhand loop, including its tendency to jam under load and drastically reduce rope strength—making it unsuitable for critical load-bearing situations. Discover why modern alternatives like the figure 8 loop, bowline, and alpine butterfly loop are recommended for safety and performance. Subscribe for weekly knot tutorials and become confident in the essential knots every adventurer, climber, and boater should know.
