That was a pretty low limb, so I can see why a running bowline was used. I'm usually tossing the rope over a much higher limb. Because of that, I use an Alpine Butterfly Loop and leave the working end long enough to reach from the ground. That let's me take the rope bak out of the tree when I finish.
Beautifully done as always. I know this knot. Trouble is, when I slow it down enough to show it to someone else, I get stuck! I'll just refer them to this in future.
@@OutdoorAcademyAustralia nope. You can tie an alpine butterfly around something too lol. It is easier to untie. And it doesnt reduce the rope strength as much. You know they are channels that test all these knots out. Check em out.
@@myname-mz3lohow can you do an alpine with the rope already passing through the loop like the running bowline?? You'd need to pass all the rope through the loop after making the knot
you know there are a lot of people doing knots, however you seem to be the only person doing them so we can see them clearly. Good onya mate.
Cheers mate. I do my best. Glad you like it.
Alright! I always look forward to seeing another tutorial from you.
Much appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge.
👍👍
I appreciate that, cheers.
Your videos are very helpful. thanks
Cheers, glad you liked them. Thanks for watching.
i like mostly how you do the knot while looking at the camera and introducing it. obviously done the knot before many a time.
Thank you. I've done it a few times. It's my favourite way to tie any bowline knot.
Class
Yes, the most popular knot for arboriculture 👍 that is a unique way to tie it
It's just easy to teach. Once you know which strands to grab, it's all good.
Great tutorial !! Maine USA...
Cheers mate. Thanks for your service.
Nice tutorial, sir. Clearly explained. Effortlessly performed. Now, I get to spend the next several hours screwing this up.
Haha. Once you get it, you'll always have it in your toolbox 🧠
That seems like a good hitch to hike up a "bear bag" with
You are awesome!
You are.
Thanks.
👍good one
Cheers
I've been a tree trimmer most of my life for the power company, and that knot always came in usefull. Thanks for the video.
Love your videos. They're educational, informative, and just plain fun to watch.
I appreciate that, cheers.
I will try it this way next time.....
Let me know how you go.
Quite nifty and handy to know...!
Cheers, glad you like it
Very nice PoV - it's easy to see how the knot is tied!
Glad you liked it, cheers🍻
Nice Short cut

A running bowline is often used when felling or trimming trees and don't need to be recovered until on the ground.
Beautifully done as always.

I know what you mean. Hands go into autopilot lol.
I have an easier way. Can be done with one hand too
Show us.
Alpine butterfly is better for this use.
Why better? If I need to retrieve the line and need a midline loop yeah but you can't tie it around a rope you need feed the rope through.

Weirdest way I've seen someone tie a bowline on a bite before.
Works for me and easy to remember for people starting out.
@OutdoorAcademyAustralia no hate here. I use this knot at my job amd it can be tied a lot of ways. Cheers! Love you shorts.
