The Flemish Bend with a Bight-the BEST knot to join ropes and untie EASY

The final video on how to tie ropes to use for abseiling. In a rope access setting that is. In the previous videos I’ve shown you two different knots. The Double Fishermans and the Flemish Bend. Today I will show you the Flemish Bend with a Bight. My favourite to use in a working from rope situation.
