@@Thehowtochannelinc And your pacing was really good for me. I process visual spatial information more slowly. I really like your slower movements and little pauses that gave me a chance to keep up without making it painfully slow for everyone else.
Perfect! Finally a video I could follow and do first time. I appreciated the camera angle and the slow and repeated steps with clear, unhurried instructions. No distracting music or unnecessary introductions. Thank you!
Great camera work and explanation. Especially like the slow repetition of your actions at each stage .... saves endlessly rewinding when other demonstrators hurry along. Well done!
Man thanks! Been making bowline knots every day at work with ease but never around an object. Never felt so dejected 😂. Recently took ASA 101 and I'm learning more and more. Slowly but surely.
Bravo! This is the best method, performed from the perspective of a man-overboard that's been tossed a line. This is the right-handed version. There's a left-handed version as well. A right-handed person will typically grab the line with the left hand, draw the loose end around the waist with the right and then complete the knot as shown. This is a lifesaving knot.
So nice! Thank you, this shows how to tie it around the object and not just the knot. The pace of the video is also perfect, much grateful for the content.
The way I was taught as a boys scout 55 years ago, after going around the object, the “the rabbit comes out of the hole, runs round the tree, and dives back into hole.” Then it was easy for me to remember..
And that is exactly how I teach my scouts to do it today! The rabbit comes out of his hole, runs around the tree and and dives back into his hole!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Why fix it if it ain’t broke? Right?
There are SO many know vids on UA-cam, but so few of the people post them know how to shoot a knot-tying video. Like some jump cut in the middle of a step! Yours however are great!
The way I tie a bowline is essentially, a marlinspike on the standing end, then passing the running end through the marlinspike, and then tightening it by folding the running end back on itself, holding it and the newly created loop together and pulling, doing this will take the running end through the marlinspike and result in a bowline. Depending on how you feed it through the marlinspike will result in a bowline or a left handed bowline.
A bowline is a fixed loop knot that is not made to be adjustable. You can make the loop any size you want, but then it will stay fixed at that size. Thanks for the question.
FYI: a bowline secured around or through something is called an “anchor-line” bowline. If the bowline is unsecured or not tied around or through anything, it’s called an “end-of-line” bowline.
Excellent tutorial. FYI: a bowline secured around or through something is called an “anchor-line” bowline. If the bowline is unsecured or not tied around or through anything, it’s called an “end-of-line” bowline.
OK but if want the loop to be tight around the handle (or say, around a tree), when and how do I pull it tight? I tried making a loose bowline loop but then I couldn't make the loop any smaller
The Bowline isn't designed to be an adjustable knot, but you can tie a small Bowline in your rope and then run the rope around the tree and thread the other end of the rope through your Bowline and pull it tight.
The knot doesn't slip so if you were rescuing someone (pulling them up a cliff or out of a river or . . . . ) if THEY had the present of mind to utilize a bowline around their body, their weight would not cause the knot to slip and cinch into them as they were being hoisted. Another use that I can think of is if you're setting up a ridge line, you could use a bowline around a tree and put a toggle on that end that would provide you a quick release of that ridge line if you needed to move out quickly. (The other end of the ridge line could be a trucker's hitch.) If anyone else has other ideas or better ideas, I'd sure like to know. EDITED because I just remember "Corporals Corner" did a video called "How To Tie The Rescue Bowline - The Most Versatile Knot In The World". Credit where credit's due. This might save your life one day. Once you learn it, teach your wife . . children . . whomever. (When you're practicing, get yourself a rope. Don't try to learn with cordage.)
Hmm...I was kinda hoping for a 2 min introduction that had your intro and a monologue that had nothing to do with tying bowlines. (sarcasm) Thanks for getting to the point (not sarcasm)
. . . . and the bartender says, "hey . . . did any of you guys see where that dumb F Gamper went? Will he ever learn we have two restrooms in the place? Was he pissing outside by that pole again?"
But 99% of the time the rope will be at your feet so now I have to rotate these moves 180 looked at several of these and they all show this orientation
A stopper knot will definitely make the knot more secure, and I would definitely use one myself if I were relying on it where someone's safety was involved. Thanks for the comment.
Hmmm. Interesting. Will this be a better option than a cluster of balled up shit that I have to hack off later with a dull, broken pocket knife? Because that’s the method I’ve been using for decades.

There are so many different ways to tie and use the Bowline, that's why it's one of the best knots there is. Thanks for the comment.
wow you just made it sound like the most complicated knot to tie in the world
Quick question can you tighten it all the way down around the object or does it have to be up higher?
A bowline is a fixed loop knot that is not made to be adjustable. You can make the loop any size you want, but then it will stay fixed at that size. Thanks for the question.

The Bowline isn't designed to be an adjustable knot, but you can tie a small Bowline in your rope and then run the rope around the tree and thread the other end of the rope through your Bowline and pull it tight.
very good teaching
Thank you.
Could you please do one on taunt line hitch I always get it wrong
👍
Can I use this to hang my boxing bag from a rod that is up there on my terrace?
Yes, a Bowline would work. I would recommend tying a stopper knot at the end of the line after you complete the Bowline for extra safety.
@@Thehowtochannelinc thanks for the prompt response!
👍
I know this sounds dumb. But would this knot be stromg enough to tie up a punching bag😅
It's not a dumb question. It should be strong enough for a punching bag. Thanks for the question.
@@Thehowtochannelinc thank you it worked
Can anyone tell me of the benefits of this knot? It seems like the go-to knot.
It is very secure and is easy to untie. Many secure knots jam under a heavy load.

Who's narrating, Steven Wright?
Haa. I had a very bad cold, the first 3 videos.
Out the hole, around the tree, and back down the hole.
A Good way to remember the knot.
Thanks for the comment.
isn´t that the "palstek"? make a pond, round the object, out of the lake, round the tree( the standing part of the rope) and into the pond again :)
We have a 🐇rabbit that comes out of his hole, round the tree, and back down the hole again 😁

i just realised its a munter that hitches onto itself
guy goes into the bar for a beer, then exits, takes a piss behind the telephone pole, comes around, then goes back into the bar for another beer

Wrong and dangerous. Unless a stopper knot is used.
Do not use without a stopper knot
