The BEST five knots for UL backpacking (and how to tie them) | Why I don't use a taut-line hitch

Hey YouTube friends! In this week's video, I run through the five most useful knots for ultralight backpacking (in my humble opinion.) I'm using my Simply Light Designs 9.5x10 ft tarp for demonstration (in all but one shot), so if you're in the market for a new tarp, go chat with Jared over there - he does awesome work. If you love knots as much as I do, be sure to check out my video on how to pitch a tarp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAzs1KgzZZo Also, looks like I had a spelling mistake - it's "bight" not "bite."
