    Just some observations.... The first way you tied the Bowline (Knot #1) was spot on, but I'm not sure what that second way was. It definitely didn't look like a Bowline when finished. I think you may have invented a new knot, but you'd need someone with more knowledge than I to tell you that for sure! 😁 As for Knot #2, that isn't the Tautline Hitch. The Tautline Hitch is made by taking 2 turns above the intersection of the ropes and then 1 turn below the intersection. (You only did one above and one below in your example.) The Mooring Hitch (Knot #3) was perfect! If I'm not mistaken, the final knot (#4) was the Hangman's Knot. Good video otherwise! I like learning new knots! (Just find it hard to remember all of them.) 😆 The one's I think are important for me to remember are Bowline, Alpine Butterfly, Sheetbend, Adjustable Grip Hitch, Trucker's Hitch, Siberian Hitch, and the Arbor Knot (also called a Canadian Jam Knot). 👍👍

      Hi🖐
      Regarding the Bowline knot in both the first and second cases, it's just a matter of how the ropes are intertwined.
      You are absolutely right.👌
      In the Taut line Hitch knot, we only made one loop above the intersection, which resulted in a Clove Hitch instead.
      Learning knots and how to apply them in different situations not only improves your skills but also enhances your enjoyment of those moments. We strive to learn from your valuable feedback as well as teach knots.😊
      Thank you for your comments!👍👍

      The second method for the bowline is a *different knot* called the Cowboy Bowline. It is seen as a no-no in the climbing community. The tag line should be on the inside of the created loop, not on the outside, as it is in the Cowboy Bowline

      You are right, the end of the rope should be inside the loop to prevent the knot from coming undone when shock is applied to the rope, and we didn't pay attention to this during execution. However, the bowline knot created in the second method is strong, and you can use it.👍

    Why do most of these vids show a bowline being done by what I'd consider a left handed person? I have found it is much much easier to do this knot with the working end on the right.

      We are right-handed. 🙋‍♂
      We didn't pay attention to this while tying the knot. Tie it in whichever way is comfortable for you.🤗

      @@TheKnotWorkshop If you are right handed, try this- " "b" for Bowline". That would mean you have the standing end on the left (for right handed people) and proceed to make a "b" in that standing left side. Your dominant right hand then does the work. And that is the easiest way for this right handed person to complete this knot and I will always do this knot in that fashion. Thanks.

    That is not the tautline hitch.

      You are right👍
