I was a sailor and tie a bowline fast but had never seen it tied that way. Very impressive and I think it’s easier to follow for rookies! Very cool!

@@gryphenicedancer8796BS...Only 40 years ? I was Salvage/ Industry Diver, AB Sailor, through 1970-85, all manner of line, steel cables, to 400ft depth. Like any legit, Navy sailor, I would NEVER tie bowline like this. 1) You need a pipe, to make big bight - clove hitch is the knot for that. 2) Knot slides, and could eventually loosen, unless under constant tension. ** This demo is NONSENSE.

[@manp1039]

the brightness of the rope with the dark background and the right amount of stiffness in the rope, and the pace of demonstrating and explaining, helped me understand and memorize how to tie this knot.

[@13Voodoobilly69]

I went out and bought two different colored 50’ hanks of 3/8” dia. Cord like this to practice knots. Like you said , it has a nice stiffness and doesn’t irritate your hands while practicing knots. The second color helps with two ropes. Together the 2 hanks cost me $11.00.

Thank you. I've never seen it tied that way. My Grandfather was a Merchant Marine in the Spanish American War, and he taught me many knots when I was a young child. My parents told me years later, that "Pappy" had taught me how to tie a Bowline when I was still in diapers and his favorite arithmetic problem was 6 x 7 = 42. These are two things I remember about my Pappy. Thank you for a very nice demonstration.

I teach several ways to tie a bowline, i use a dif method, but this is the method that most recruits start using once they're shown. It really is the easiest and almost the fastest.

[@glenntownsend2588]

I disagree about it being the easiest. I seen a video that made it so easy that when you do your loop, your pointer finger already has the end prepared to go through the loop. Basically at the loop you're half way in one motion.

[@russellpeffer7736]

[@CliffLambson]

I was going to compliment you on how well you executed the presentation of the bowline. It's the one knot that has flummoxed me time and time again, nearly as challenging as tying my shoes. I also took note of the simplicity with which you made this knot's execution; the process will stick with me now. I've NEVER oriented the knot correctly on my first try - NEVER! I then read some of the comments and realized I didn't just have a profound personal breakthrough, you really did a fantastic job with your presentation, and everyone agrees. I was kind of annoyed it wasn't all about me, I didn't break through some personal challenge, it really was how well you presented it. Subscribed.

[@knotknut]

Thank you for your comments and kind words, it is always nice to hear. I may have shown how to tie the knot but it is all you when it comes to execution.

[@rtexmx]

My favorite way to teach a bowline. I tell learners to pull the standing end through like they are tying an overhand knot. Then pass the running/bitter end through the bight they just created. Fold the end back on itself and tug on the standing end. It was the first way I could consistently remember how to tie a bowline. Rabbits, trees and holes never quite made sense for years . Easy to tie under duress this way as well. RIP Lt. Daniel Irvine Glen Echo FD who taught me this 43 years ago.

I never knew how to tie a bowline around a pole. This was perfect and easily memorized. Thank you!

[@thomasf.8006]

The German name for this knot is "Palstek". I have often used it, but I always built it in a more complicated manner. Thank you for showing this better way!

[@peterwalter3663]

Oder auch Bulin...

[@justme-dm7sb]

I have been doing this knot my whole life. I learned it very different from this because we always used it to tie up horses. Always used a bow at the end so it is one pull to get loose in case of emergencies, since a horse can get caught up in a rope if it spooks or something goes wrong. It also works great when you don't want a knot to tighten around an animals neck, (or whatever), and still one pull to get loose.

[@knotknut]

I haven’t yet but will show tying the bowline the way you mentioned. Thank you for the comment

[@RemoWilliams-jg4yb]

[@alanmanchester6242]

thank you for this quick easy demonstration. I've tied the knot both ways many times. depending on circumstances. and when I teach it, I teach it both ways. so that the student has a good understanding of the not itself and it's versatility.

[@UNoBugMe1]

I’ve always came out of the hole, around the tree and back in the hole, my whole life. This is so much easier to do, basically a truckers knot in opposite direction, Brilliant!!!

[@vijaypatankar9978]

Your teaching art is too good. Thanks Sir.

[@carlosteixeiradecairojunio6780]

I should've seen this way before. I fought myself to learn the traditional method but this way is much easier to do that. From now on, I'm gonna teach this way. Well-done!

I prefer this method as well, especially attaching to a harness. Remember if you are attaching to a live load you will want to back it up, I have a video of that on my channel.

I like that this way vs the tradition way is much easier to adjust the loop size

[@sampark1922]

I use this method all the time -This perspective is from a real world application. Every other tutorial show it backwards where you would have to stand behind the thing you are tying to, cause the loop is pointing into your stomach.

Ashley’s Book of Knots has long been considered the encyclopedia of knots. This is an interesting, simple and excellent way to tie the bowline although I taught myself the old fashioned way. When I was involved in the Boy Scouts I recommended Cassidy’s The Klutz Book of Knots. It comes with different colored lines and the front and back covers are perforated to have a space to practice. They could get Cassidy’s at the Scout store. I would add the one handed bowline knot and the heaving line knot. Animated Grog Knots online and the app are fantastic as well. I love knots and am always learning. Thanks for this new trick!!

[@knotknut]

Ashley’s book is my favorite knot book and the history he tells of the different knots makes it a must buy. I started this channel as an alternative to knots by grog since they charge for the app now. Another good book for knot tiers is the Morrow guide to KNOTS, great illustrations. For the Rescue Technicians, Rhodie’s Guide to Rescue Knots should be on their shelf. Pat Rhodes is the best rope practitioner I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and being trained by.

[@JohnDoe-jc3cl]

1. Great to see a great presentation of one knot, the bowline 2. Very sad because I learned this as a Boy Scout at 11 going for Tenderfoot. Sad because I learned this and 100x more things as a scout. Much more with human interaction in the scout troop than kids now learn on smartphones or computers in their house. I learned how to plan and prepare menus for weekend camporees with my patrol at 11 and 12. And don’t forget cleaning up. Some people don’t learn to plan and prepare until their 20s 30s 40s 50s At 57, I know understand the saying “ Scouting builds men”. Sad because some people got in the scouting program and molested kids and now has put a bad name on Scouting.

When people first find interest in learning knot tying, I think it’s quite common for most of them to become awed by the amazing simplicity in which creates a knots strength. Being able to tie just a small handful of convenient knots will enable you to do most anything with a rope, including either saving your life…or killing yourself 🤣
