We are going to make a double figure-eight loop knot.
Or a double *** knot.
Start by making a double loop, a gauze, in the middle of the rope.
Or in a determined part of the rope.
And, with that gauze, we will do it just as we would if we were going to make a double figure-eight loop knot.
That is, as if we were to put it in through here (this would be a double figure-eight loop knot).
But, instead of finishing it like this, as we want two gauzes...
What we are going to do is... make a loop.
Instead of putting in this point, we are going to make a loop and put it inside.
Doing something similar to this.
When we see that we have two gauzes here, which are the ones we will use.
This one that is below, we have to wrap it around the one we will use.
Inside, and once they are there, we pull...
The result is an eight knot, with two independent gauzes.
In addition, there is an advantage for which this knot is usually used.
And the length of the two gauzes can be varied.
In this case we see that one is longer than the other, but we can vary this easily.
Because through one the other one is fed.
We stretch from here, reducing one, and pulling on the other one we feed it.
This knot can be useful for anything that happens, but in principle it is usually used for escalating...
...to anchor one end or a lifeline with two ends, one short and one long.
So, from one cord we can make a double anchor.
In the same way, an anchorage can be made, a double triangular anchorage
Since this will distribute the strength, and depending on the distance between the anchorages, we can regulate it at our convenience.
In this case, in the case of triangulation, you must keep in mind that the worst can happen...
...which is that this angle opens up a lot, because here the strength that is exercised would be too much for an angle less that 60 º
We are going to mention a detail about this knot.
As we said earlier, having it here allows us to see the two gauzes we will utilize.
...and this one left over is the one we will pass behind the two gauzes.
Well, what must be kept in mind in this case is that, upon passing the gauze, and turning it...
...there are two options, that this stays here or, (the more safe of the two) that it stays behind both.
Nevertheless, if it stays here, it will complete its function, creating the knot.
But of course, it will have more possibility of coming out.
If it stays here behind, below the other two... the knot will be much more compact and secure.
Because the turn which is critical, this one, will be below these two.
This turn will always be used to regulate the length of the two loops.
Both if it is there...
or above...
As I said, the classic is more secure, and makes it a third turn here below.
I hope that this serves you well, and we will see you in the next video from Andinia.com and Andinia Channel!
