How to Tie a Bowline with Backups, Overhand Loop and Stopped Loop - ITS Knot of the Week HD

[@savaiiheaven8143]

I think the second knot is a honda knot its useful for making small loops with stiff rope its used in lassos if i remember correctly. You can also adjust the size when needed.

for a loop knot, maybe that old famous "Figure 8 Follow through" is better than all these, but I do like the Bowline as well. also, all of those knots you just learned and F8FT can be done around and into objects, by Following the simple knot Through with the working end of rope. great learning video series, Thanx

Nothing wrong with the end on the outside, it is just called a dutch bowline or cowboy bowline.

What's up! I'm here to argue about knot name pronunciation on a video that came out five years ago! Two things: 1) Bowline comes from Dutch "boeglijne." 2) On a ship, you shorten and round off words to make them as quick and easy to say as possible. An example is the word forcastle (the forward crew space) is pronounced "FOLKS-uhl." And the suffix -line often gets shortened to "-lin" like in a buntline ("buntlin") or the ratlines ("rattlins"). Why is this only with the suffix -line and not the noun line? Because sailors are always in a hurry and generally they can't read good. This stereotype holds true well into the 21st century. So MAYBE I could see and argument for "BOW-lin," maybe, but I'm pretty sure "BO-lin" is the more historilogically accurate pronuncification. And it's certainly how they say it on a ship, where it might be used to pull a square sail toward the bow. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

Have you done a video on the taught line hitch?

What about the angler's loop

There's another way to back this knot up. I prefer it, as it keeps your loop from being so messy and keeps the working end even farther away from the eye of the knot. This video is for a double bowline but the principle is the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2KqpKyVramsmKM

Also, if you finish with the working end on the outside of the loop it isn't necessarily wrong. It can be a cowboy or left-handed bowline. Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKrTfWuYoJ6Xl5Y
