Split-Faced Monkey's Fist Tutorial

I finally got around to making a video channel and doing a split-faced monkey's fist tutorial for anyone who was baffled on the previous occasions I posted this knot.

Please forgive my monotone mumbling. That's just how I speak!

Octopus hitch

I came across this one while fiddling around and give it this name because it looks like an octopus. It's similar to a highwayman's hitch but structurally different (and more stable). Pull on the quick release and it disappears instantly.

Please help me find a knot to use

I have no idea about knots i am so glad i found this subreddit.
Today i am moving and i have a wooden play house that my 3 year old plays. So the only way to move it is hang it from the balcony (2nd floor) and slowly lower it to the parking lot.
Which knot should i use to tighten it around the house? I found the noose knot that tightens as you pull it. is that enough? House not too heavy
If you know a better knot let me know the name to search in google.
Thanks in advance

What kind of knot is this?

The machines I work on have a new style of guide tape, instead of stapling they switched to a different style of material and I’m supposed to tie this knot. It’s tough… I don’t know why.

Probably knot that difficult

Hi knot-lovers,

Can anyone tell me what kind of knot this is? I bought this jacket second-hand and had to undo the knot to clean the cord, now for the life of me I can’t get anywhere close to it. And it makes a big difference to the length as the cord is way too long now.

I’d appreciate any advice, and if knot then thanks anyway for reading ;)

Tying to two joints?

Hey all, apologies if I trepass any rules. They're accidental.

I need a good knot for tying stuff together that will be dependent on 2 (if not more) sturdy joints holding together something that is in between them. I have needed this before in the past when I was moving house but right now I want to use it to secure a heavy piece of furniture that is not dependent on just 1 joint, How can I best knot together multiple joint so that they may share the load of a heavy object (furniture/houswhold)?

TLDR: Someone who doesn't know knots is asking about knots involving 2 or more load-bearing joints.

Butterfly knot vs False Butterfly knot

I know it could have different names, but every time I see videos on TikTok or Instagram about the False Butterfly Knot, all the comments say, “Do not use this knot.” I want to know why.
I have searched on YouTube and Google, and the only reliable thing I could find was this video, What happens if you tie the Alpine Butterfly Knot wrong? where it shows what happens if you don’t tie the knot correctly and it slips through. Do the False Butterfly knot its also save as Butterfly knot?
