How to make a harness out of your rope because you forgot yours at home

You get to the crag, open your pack, and no harness!!
I know that would never happen to you :) But if it did, you could do this...

[@gud2go50]

Man, you guys are so made for each other. Please guard what you have with your life. I wish I would have done that. Nice to see that again.

Great video! When I started climbing in 1970 we didn't have harnesses. We either tied directly into the rope, with three passes around the waist and a bowline, or used one inch webbing wrapped repeatedly around the waist. If you fell, the rope went tight around your waist. It was uncomfortable. We later made Swiss seats with tubular webbing. This was great! Then I bought my first climb harness. A Whillans Sit Harness. It was more comfortable than today's climbing harnesses. Because it's loose around the legs.

You guys are so happy! It's great to see you fun loving couple.

The bowland/bowline knot is used because it won't slip and choke whatever the line is wrapped around, like most other knots will do.

[@jolllyroger1]

I only use a military harness commonly called a rangers harness or swiss seat....I personally use a continuous loop that I spliced as a harness .... ...and a second loop as a chest harness ..... I find them very comfortable if you use larger diameter rope ..... you can use wide webbing as well just use a water knot to join the ends

[@MattNicassio]

If you forget your harness and have webbing, def use webbing over rope. John Long art of Leading has a description of how to make a harness out of webbing.

[@medicgor]

Ouch. Looks like it squeezes the junk. I'll give it a try if the "Boys" don't cry.

[@yuriboiblu]

good stuff Ian and Stef!

[@nazariosimescu9336]

i use climbing harness for my work, i dont like construccion harness its too heavy, now im painting house i love it

[@jakecroft3229]

This saved me today haha! Thanks!

[@MinZilla]

It looks like he's about to yee haw

[@matuwuhou]

Wow, this thing is cool! I was able to understand how to do it from the first time :)

[@jolllyroger1]

Add a loop from front center over shoulder to back center back over other shoulder to front center and you can do everything... Swiss seat is better easier and Imho what I use all the time

[@wadebluegcbneau]

See also, the swiss seat.

Great rescue harness rope using the 3 bowline thanks for sharing

[@jordanhess2061]

the knot that starts the bowline is a marlinspike hitch, thats the way I was taught to tie it and have done it since a youngun.

[@dereksafley]

Great video!

[@MHopSmith]

Cute dog!!!😍

[@iDYPilms]

I attach it to my riggers belt....? it worked for me.

[@romilmishra]

1:47 is actual start

[@rekynw3869]

Used this to repel down my house. Im not dead so it worked:))

[@masonjelvin6001]

wow. you are so happy

[@cphoover11]

Oyy thanks crocodile dundee! 😉 🍻 This is super useful

[@tdegler]

Haha, nice video man. Didn't knew this harness! Thank you! While showing this bowline... it look soo... ehm clumsy? ;-) No, good stuff, and looks like you are having fun :-)

[@abrahamsanchez2045]

thats cool because I'm only ten and my dad or mom don't know that I made a tree house and I had no harshest so thank you

[@gregchambers6100]

Very nice. A little practice and anyone can do it!

[@matthewmarello1347]

Could have done a bowline on a bight for the one around the waist. Skips a step or two.

[@davidevans7542]

That would work but you can’t tie a bowline on a byte around something you would have to slip it around you. I would suggest a French bowline

[@slavapal00za]

That’s a cool short cut for a bowline, but it doesn’t actually finish as a bowline. The tail should finish on the inside of a bowline loop, not on the outside. I wouldn’t trust this as a life saving knot. I am basing this on testing the technique your boyfriend described and it’s very clear to see at 2:27. Otherwise, I appreciate the tutorial.

[@djandysingosari]

nice dog

[@zoomerboomer3109]

A good skill in case of an emergency e.g. an extreme example would be if you were trapped in a burning building and had to get multiple people down.

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

She's in love with u dude , I hope you're still together. ❤️

[@marisarodriguez6613]

Nice video

[@renrat189]

You did not make it clear how to make the bowline I can't see it through your hands

[@bbowenify]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKrPfmtoiLF8i5I this helped

[@casperwyd9686]

that's epic

[@abrahambatad3950]

Triple bowline harness

[@hinterlandzaus]

I like that there is no sinching in this set up

[@JDMKID148]

same

[@samdristi]

interested

[@danamiller9080]

Good video... Can also make a swiss harness..

[@joshjohnson6573]

That’s why the invented bouldering

[@harnessthedog4558]

Just fyi, you could have tied a double bowing knot and had the same result with one knot, maybe I'm wrong, I'm not a rock climber but I know my knots

[@slimpkns7864]

Eyes rolling. Great explanation. Yes im being sarcastic because i could not tell what wtf you were doing

[@thalesnemo2841]

Not seeing what was done at 4:43

[@dirtbagsinc.1689]

Steph, google overhand bowline technique...

[@indianawilson4729]

How do you forget YOUR HARNESS at home

[@3thirty689]

Indiana Wilson how do you lock your keys in your car? Answer=Complacency. Although in their situation, I think safety was of high priority in which case they over thought and just simply forgot.

[@3thirty689]

Indiana Wilson and I wasnt insulting you. You wouldnt believe the amount of push ups I've dished out to privates/E1 for forgetting their ammunition during range pre quals

[@sandisubelj3399]

I )Indiana Wilson

[@pappysproductions]

Easy....i don't have one, but i needed one to search for my drone on the side of a very steep mtn.

[@howieziegler3110]

My friend showed me a really fast way to make a Boline… Needs two people to do it… 😂 You know I had to do that right?

[@simonlpoisson]

You can smell th elove right there, that's beautifull

[@rickinprada2120]

whats up nuts

[@70athens]

(for emergency cases, and one time use) what would be the minimal thickness/rating of a rope you would need to make a harness use and to reppel ? (if the two must be different). thx in advance for your help :)

[@kobiroar4221]

Way to complicated I'll just hang on

[@benisonbesra]

S.T. 1:50

[@lawriegraney9929]

Why do Americans end words that end in ile or ine like ill or in. The e at the end of the word tells you that the i should sound like eye. It infuriates me. Mobile should end like bile, not ill. and Bowline should end like line, not lin. I can't bear listening to Americans for that reason. They do similar but the opposite with Nikon, as in Nikon cameras. The Americans say Neyekon. It's wrong, totally wrong and absolutely terrible and horrible use of the English language.

[@jakecroft3229]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to be less american when I talk now! Great example picking the name of a Japanese company as an example of the correct way to speak English, could you give me a tip on how a British person might say Toyota or Subaru? I'm worried I might be saying them wrong too

[@bryonfelter8301]

BAH-stun tea PAW-tee. 😑

[@FreakingRockstar101]

really awful demonstration of the most important part. The thing that is "basically the whole harness" you messed up on, and then turned away from the camera, used a second person and explained nothing to complete it. Wow.
