What about a sliding bowline
Man, I've been tying bowlines for 30 years and I've never seen it done this way. Learn something new everyday!
Started it off like a marlin spike hitch
I was a sailor for a number of years, and have used the bowline for maybe 20 years, and I like you, have never seen it done that way.
Pretty cool!
I always make a loop and say the squirrel comes out of the hole, goes around the tree and back in the hole 😂
I was just thinking that’s the weirdest way I’ve ever seen a bowline tied.
Same thought, "That's not a bowline...wait....ummm....yeah, it turns into a bowline just fine. Wow.'
This looks like the harder way.
Bowline is not the knot that never comes undone but it’s the knot that always comes undone even after put under extreme loads.
... then you're not tying a bowline
No. You’re not tying a bowline.
A bowline will absolutely come undone if it doesn’t stay under load. Especially if a bowline is subjected to slack in the line.
It can untie itself, because it is non-jamming.
Best knot in the business, for hoisting heavy loads and untying them afterwards.
no, @treesavages is correct. The bowline is meant to be easily undone, even after an extreme load, which is why you should do an overhand backup if you don't want it to come undone.
Technically speaking, they can come undone with cyclical loading (loading and unloading them repeatedly) which is why they don’t get used for rock climbing much these days
Please do more videos like this. I always found the complicated thing about tying knots was that when you went to apply it to something, it wasn't the same as tying it in your hand. This is actually very useful and informative.
Never tied it like that in the tens of thousands of times I’ve tied it.
Same
@@eddieghockey same same
Same same same
Same done cable hauling for years this way just looks wrong
same here learned many knots when building transmission power lines
There's also " the rabbit goes out the hole, around the tree and back down the hole"
yep! that's the way I learned, but this looked more fun for a change!
I've never seen it done that way. Thanks.👍
This is way better. People who do the bunny method often mess up direction
Yeah that’s the way we learned it. I don’t know that I could describe it but I can tie it blindfolded after so many (used to rock climb).
@ThatSB i've never messed it up bunny style because i'm not an idiot. people will fuck up everywhere they can. bunny method isn't more difficult, people are simply idiots
I used the Bowline Knot almost exclusively in my 45 year career as a High Steel, Stage, Arena, Stadium, and Theatrical Rigger.
When pulling up the Heavy Steel Chains, Steel Cables, Equipment, and sometimes the Motors themselves, that lift and secure the Lighting, Sound, and Sets in the air above a Stage, Crew, or an Audience, you need a reliable knot which won't slip, come loose, and is easy to untie, both in the air and on the ground.
We used a lot of other specialty knots as well, but 9 of 10 were Bowline.
Yep, can do it all with pretty much just a clove hitch, a square knot and a bowline
what rope were you using though? was it hemp or sisal?
Me too tower riger for years....always finish that knot with a half hitch....she will slip when wet
It's not that it's the knot that never comes undone, it's the knot that never slips. That is why it's the preferred rescue knot.
id rather use a figure eight on the bight than that useless knot
@@sirgalah561, I can do a bowline with one hand, in the dark, using this method, which makes it quite useful for me when I only have one hand available.
The “rabbit story” knot, not so much.
Takes me two hands to make a figure of eight knot - although I do like it, especially when I need to apply tension. It’s great on a bight.
This knot makes me feel intelligent whenever i do the variations of how to do it
Put a loop in the last bit, tighten it up and you have a quick release version.
Sweet!
Hmmmm!
@@Nilafila76 Aummmm
I'm glad someone else knows this. I was going to add it to the comments.
this is not meant to be a fast release knot though?
I taught rope rescue at our fire dept for 30 years, but this is a new bowline method. I taught the "one hand" method (around yourself) and the old "out the hole, around the pole, back in the hole". Great method here, thanks for sharing !
Everyone should know how to do a one-handed bowline knot.
Such a great explanation, I watched it once, then took a usb cable and tied the knot first try without looking at the video again. So simple!
I was taught the hole, rabbit, and tree trick. I’ll definitely give this a try at work today.
Try it yet?
try tying one, one handed...
Yes, the rabbit comes out of the hole around the tree and back in the hole. The beauty of this knot is it so easy to un tie
and it will never jam
@TW-rc6kv ...same why we were taught to do the bowling in boot camp.....
Interesting way to look at it. Thanks.
At first, this looked complicated. After I tried it a few times I decided it's a great method to know, since I can now tie a bowline with my eyes closed. The rabbit/tree method is easy to remember, but I can't tie it with my eyes closed very easily. This may be a factor in an emergency situation, like working in darkness.
Thank you for demonstrating this method!
Love this method, works every time!
Not ever time
I've watched a dozen how to tie a bowline shorts and this was by far the best one
Appreciate it!
Really?! I thought he complicated the hell out of it. There are much simpler ways to show how to tie a Bow Line knot & proper ways to pronounce it too. It is not a knot for hitting pins with a ball.
You should learn them all then teach children. My Father was in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during WWII as a Major. He started teaching me when I was 4. He even tied a boline by throwing a loop and then tossed a loop into the center. It was like watching a magician on stage.
@@francisvantuyle That’s awesome!
@@jwalker6260waiting for your video explaining it better.
Idk how 99.9% of knot videos leave me more confused than a drawing… but not the case here. Perfect demo.
I have tied a million bowlines and never knew this trick. Love it; I will use this alot
Interestingly, the bow line is not used in rescue applications because it has a tendency to come undone
Cannot be used by arborists in rigging because it will vibrate loose.
@@Austin1990 that's really interesting. It's the same with rescue applications as there's a lot of movement on the lines
Great for constant loads is about it, super simple and quick to do though - eyes closed for a semi reliable knot is useful
It's the knot that will easily come undone.😮
You mean in Rescue Operations where they need Two Ropes but use 10 and Walk all over Everything ??
When changing jibs, I would use this method to attach sheets to the clew when using the flat jib bag. It made the heeling foredeck work much easier and safer.
Oh!! Mister fancy pants is using fancy words none of trailer trash knows cuz we caint affords no sailboat. Cost of fuel is high. This is sarcasm people. Calm yourselves. I would never claim to know the words of sailing. Sounds too much like a fæg. Or one of those preppy 80’s dudes with boat shoes and a neck tied sweater. What a fæg. Yes. F-A-G Is misspelled so as to knot get this post deleted. Lol.
After using the "rabbit-and-hole" bowline for years, I learned of this more elegant version as the Eskimo Bowline. It's definitely a quick and easy favorite.
I was never taught to do it this way. Thanks
This is the best walkthrough I've ever seen of this knot
Appreciate it c!
Thank You! 💕🌲
You are so welcome!
I’m here to help!
@@LyfeUntethered
Just checked-out and being a SCUBA Diver (lover of 💦 ) I liked your vids so much I just sub'd!
Great stuff!
BTW, Thanks for the quick response! 💕
Learned many yers ago.. easy . .best way. I have showed sailors . . Thanks for showing people.
"A knot that will never come undone," WRONG. This is the opposite of why a bowline is a great knot.
So I’m learning. Solid under tension, but can still untie it.
@LyfeUntethered the main reasons that a bowline is a good knot are, it won't slip and tighten the loop, and you CAN undo the knot once there is no tension 😉
the Bowline is a great tension knot but you should always back it up
Dude you never worked with bowlines then. We use them everyday and there is no backup needed. Ibew union journeyman, I’m sure if this was true I’d have learned it in the apprenticeship
@@jayhaddan7927 bowline is well known to come undone in a system where the knot is loaded and unloaded a lot. This is the reason the 'Yosemite tie off' version of the bowline exists. This is also why bowline is no longer taught in life saving systems. It's now the figure 8 on a bight or figure 8 follow through if you need it around a fixed object.
@@eclark53520 we don’t have that system, we just use it. No loading unloading( whatever lies your saying) here. In 30 years has a bowline ever failed me by coming undone, because it doesn’t of you actually tie a bowline
@@eclark53520 matter fact if the bowline gets tight enough, I bet you don’t get it out.
@@jayhaddan7927just because you have not experienced it doesn't mean that it's not reality.
If you are just using it to lift heavy stuff up it works, because it's a tension knot.
But when you use it to tie a boat off for instance, and every wave loosens and tightens the rope, the knot can work loose over time.
But pretty much any rock climbing or rescue application uses a Figure 8 knot instead of a bowline now, they are just more reliable.
I learned to tie this knot differently.
The Bowline on a bite is my favorite for pulling trees down with a truck.
Thanks for.posting this way , best way to describe the bowline knot is using this technique
Where were you when I was in Boy Scouts?!😂
Their instructors were like “do it like this.” And would tie it quick and be like “you got it right?” And walk away. Knot day was the worst! You make it so easy tho wtf man?! 😂
I was like "What's wrong with my square knot??" In Scouts.
I was an Eagle Scout. But never learned my knots then! 😂
An easier way to tie than I've always used - passing the working end through the loop, over the standing end, and back through the loop. This is much more efficient. Thanks!
Oh, and I've been a sailor for over fifty years.
I love the wooohooo! from the sailor.
Good video showing it going around something. 👍For new people to knots you should explain the standing in and working end.
I’m used to tying it a different way but I’m definitely gonna master this way I think I like it better
There are faster , less complicated ways of tying a Bowlin to a ring etc
Well, sure, the rabbit in the hole, and all that, but this is way more fun!
@LyfeUntethered actually I was thinking of the method that is basically, take the bitter end through the ring, a half hitch with the standing and biter end, collapse it into a "the hole" part of the rabbit tale, and finish. Couldn't find a vid.. I'll make one if I get a chance
Yes! I always called it the one handed bowline. Super useful in rigging and construction.
I some how didn't know this was so simple. I know how to do a bowline but just do it in a much worse way. So thank you for the demo. And I just practised this with my eyes closed so I can now be confident I know it forever
What a horribly long-winded way of tieing a simple Bowline. Boy! I am glad I can do it quicker than that!
But is it as FUN as this way? I went slow so people could follow, but it's actually pretty simple if you do it a few times!
Explain how you would do it quicker.
I've been tying this 20x 5 days per week for thirty years. To watch it tied this way is making my brain itch.
Best knot post here. Bowline is King and i like this technique
I love that you decided on showing the slip knot version of the bowline
We call that a speed bowline on the sailboat. Its great for when you need to change sheets or halyards quick, like in a storm or after a knock down.
I wrap it around my fingers on one hand, so i can run up the deck, shove the end of the line though whatever im securing, and shove it though the opening just as you show and pull tight. You can tie 3/4 of the knot from the safety of the cockpit and then go forward when the time is right, do your fix and get back before a wave blasts you. Good stuff
You're making it way too complicated
That’s a nice way to tie it. Love that knot. Favorite knot of mine.
That is a great way f visualizing the knot the way it’s supposed to work. Thank you!
That’s a slightly different technique than I’m used to, and I like it! Thanks!
I like the rabbit in the hole technique myself but, this is good. I like it, sir.
I have never once heard someone refer to the ends of lines as "standing" and "working" and just having that distinction clears up so much confusion
Simplest explanation I have seen so far. 👍🏻
Can we agree as someone that was never a cub scout or had a dad that knots are wild.
Awesome - I’ve never seen it done this way before
Excellent explanation and right to the point. You just gained a sub.
Didn't know it could be done that way, this is a lot easier than what I was doing, lol, thank you 🙂
Glad to help!
I used a 1” poly rope in Saudi to pull other trucks out of the sand. The first time in used a plain knot and had to cut it off my truck. I used the bowline after that and it always came undone when I need to take it off. Amazing knot!
This is the most amazing. I've been chasing rabbits around trees in this hole and back.. thank you very much
That is so much better than ever other explanation of how to tie this knot.
🤯never tied one that way. My mind is blown.
That blew my mind I'm a sailor but I have never tied it like that I always make a loop and then thread the other end through, around some things and then back (hard to describe). Thanks for this video! Your method seems wayyyy easier lol
Nice, ty!
Best knot clip ever.
Yeah nice and quick never mind all that rabbit and hole stuff .. super quick thanks
I was in the sea cadets when I was a kid and they taught us all these knots ,and through my life in construction those knots always came in handy
Bowline is my favorite knot, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen it tied this way.
Excellent instructional vid!
Excellent a new method.
Never saw it done this way. But it looks nice when tightened.
Never seen that method. Thanks for something new to practice!
I swear it this is the best video on how to tie this damn knot. Thanks!
Aww thanks!
10/10 text book. While I always see it broken up like that, Ive personally struggled with this knot at first.
I find it so much easier to think of the first part as making a slipping knot. Which is one of the names Ive seen this method be called.
Of all the bowline knot how to videos, this is the best if seen. Thank you :-)
That is an inside bowline tie and outside bowline One is stronger than the other. And I've never seen a bowline tied like that. Pretty cool
One handed version to tie it taught in boy scouts is my favorite and quickest for me by far
Best description I have ever heard.
That's a really nice way of tying it, very simple. it will come undone in some stiffer ropes like twisted polypropylene.
During sailing training in my youth an expierianced sea captain showed me how to tie one one handed. The premis was if you fall overboard & someone throws you a line, you wrap it around your waste. Keeping the rope tight to the rescue with your left hand ,bringing the end of the rope around your waist & giving yourself some slack, tie a boline with your right hand between your left hand & your body. Once done you can let go of the rope & get the loop under your shoulders.
One handed bowline for the win!
Done! ua-cam.com/video/S2S90jDKwHY/v-deo.htmlsi=76RtSjY3F-OgSUXc
Great method 💪👍
I use a bowline to lower limbs down on tree removals and trimming. Great video for a great knot.
Love the explanation ❤
Thank you! 😃
Ah! That was a beautiful explanation!
I can tie this knot 5 different ways never did it like this. Nice
EXCELLENT tutorial!
I really like this method thank you!
That's excellent,
looks like great way to create loop(s) on rope that won't tighten on itself or cause slack in the rope . Good knot for bows among everything else .
Thanks! Ya, pretty dang useful!
I'm hard-headed and this video is knot what I expected. Very cool
unique way to tie it!
Best bowline demo ive seen. We'll done.
Appreciate it Joseph!
Great way to tie it! Just watch it under cyclical loading though!
I've heard a bowline can slip under variable tension, like dragging something in the water. Never tested it though
It can come undone easily if you want to lock it off use a Yosemite tie off
It may be true that's why you always prove it with a half hitch with one foot minimum tail
Excellent demo! I was taught a "snap bowline" which is similar, maybe even identical, but most times when I try to "SNAP" and yank the knot snug, it hangs up and I end up spending extra time loosening and re-dressing it. For me, the key is "...and then hold the working end to itself like this..." I will definitely practice this approach, and comparing it to what I think I was taught.
Well you are partly correct. The bowline is a knot that will not come undone on its own when under load but can be untied easily no matter how much load is applied.
This is one of two knots my radio elmer showed me, the other is the taut line knot which I've got more use out of.
The bowline is the know that comes easily undone after holding a big load but it also might just unrattle itself.
“A knot that will never come undone”
Knife: “hold my beer”
Valid... A good knife can undo any knot...
Bob had such a hard time with the bowline knot... but he finally got it and helped Teddy retrieve the sailor who fell off the side of the ship s12e13
That was good! Subbed and 👍
Awesome, thank you!
Learnt it when I was 5 ... never forgot it
First time ever seeing it done that way.😮
Got to learn this one.!
