[@katieaustin5925]

I want to thank you for showing the one handed bowling knot because I am paralyzed on one side so I do a lot of things with one hand so thank you

[@Tigermania08]

I genuinely enjoy how dry this humor is

[@jdog2169]

The bloke is hilarious

“50 Shades of Corporal. Dakota, call me” LOL!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@fergusrb]

It is funny you brought up a memory. In my younger days I worked for an electric utility. I was the clerk on line truck. I operated the truck and equipment and did crew clerical work. My first day the Forman said "do you know how to tie a bowline knot?" So he had me get a pigging string which was 1/4 inch cotton line about 6 feet long. So he showed me how to tie it. I was expected to keep that pigging string with me at all times. He would point at things on the truck or around the pole and say "bowline" and I was expected to tie it right the first time. Didn't matter what was going on, he would all of a sudden just point and "Bowline". this went on for weeks. I got pretty good at tying it at all angles, right side up or upside down. he had me crawl under the back of the truck and tie it. Thanks for the memory.

[@Cliff82]

I think I learned more in this video than the last 10 knot videos I've seen. The one handed is awesome

[@haroldmiller6853]

This is one of the first knots I teach my scouts thanks for the vid

[@mandy7684]

This chick was impressed. 50 shades, too funny.

[@justindawson3428]

I teach scouts and the bowline is the one knot most get stuck on (yes could be how I teach) but the main method you use looks simpler for them, I think I will try it. Thanks for sharing. 50 shades of bowline.

[@angelsarrived2642]

Thank you for these kind of vedios. I was a boater for over 40 years, and had to do many different kinds of knots while boating and camping. Was certified years ago one man, two man and infant first aid. Was active member of the United States Power Squadron were we taught these knots and many other things. But as time has past and I have not practiced them, I had forgotten how to do even simple knots. Age and a servere concussion over a year ago in a car accident has me working my way back to these memorys and usefully life saving tips. I still have my professional first aid case in my vehicle at all times. The internet and vedios like this are a G-D sent to keeping me alert, safe, self relient, sound and restores my past memorys. Thank You. From A 70 year old nature loving woman.

[@StandSure67]

Sharing this one with my brother as he is the only one in his group of Dragon boaters who can tie a Bowline. Hopefully the others will watch and learn, and hopefully watch a few of your videos. I could never get it quite right until I found your videos Shawn,

[@SFCRambo60]

For the years I was in the Boy Scouts I learned to tie the Bowline behind my back, one handed, also to tie the square knot behind my back. But we were taught the Bowline to do it 3 ways for both climbing, repealing, and rescue. I was always taught it was safer that way. One loop went around the chest and the other 2 loops went around each leg that way for a rescue it was like a cradle, for repealing or going down a cliff it was the best secured setup.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

I know you've gone over this before, Thank you for a full video with only this knot... It is very helpful!

[@alphatitan5815]

The only channel I spend more time watching the ads than the program. But it’s worth every minute! Fantastic information, incredible knowledge. Thanks for the educational, instructional videos!

[@LaughingGravy.01]

Brilliant when you focus on one fundamental lesson. Thanks!

[@moretimethanmoney8611]

Blind folded! This isn't only a tutorial. It's entertainment!

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

We actually had to tie a bowline blindfolded in the Coast Guard

[@candiced710]

This knot was the very reason I looked and found your channel. You're a great teacher!! I watched a few but you are very detailed and I learn so much every week.

[@hectormaldonado4867]

This has to be one of my favorite videos on tying a bowline.

[@andygable7504]

Your vids are like Christmas every week!!! Thanks for the refresher course!!! I haven't tied that knot since 1997!!! Thanks!!!!

THANK YOU brother for taking the time and sacrificing your time to make these videos for us. Love your video's

[@glynnellis5050]

Thank you Corporal for the challenge. I have been tying the bowline for decades. Mostly with horses to trees, hitching posts and trailers. I was surprised and disappointed with myself at my failures with the different variations. Repetition doing it correctly now.

[@catmandont100]

My grandsons eyes are Glued to these videos. I question his motives.

[@freedommatters9596]

This is probably my favorite corporals corner video to date. High-yield competence instruction.

[@adamortner7172]

Tried the bowline using the pocket method...so much easier than the rabbit out of the hole!.. I think this is one of your best knot videos because of the practical demos. The knot, to an object, and to yourself.....thanks again sir.

[@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869]

Wow, perfect timing. I'm sitting in a Florida thunderstorm and the intro perfectly timed with a roll of thunder- Damnit Corporeal your good.

Next up tying the bowline with the non-dominant hand while blindfolded! Thanks for an excellent instructional video.

[@rcoutdoors8176]

It was simple af thankyou corp. Kelly you made it easy instead of from a book

[@shawnr771]

Great instruction and outstanding camera work. The bowline is a great solid knot that everyone should know. Thanks for showing how to lock the knot with a double overhand knot. I learned to do that with a half hitch. The extra work is necessary when people are going to be attached to it or depending on it for their safety.

[@caribecastaway6447]

One handed Bird Box Bowline, slow enough to actually see how to do it. Everyone should practice it. When you need it, it's too late to practice. Awesome as usual . Thanks

[@ericbeatty5107]

We used the Bowline for pole top, bucket, and tower rescue back when I was in apprentice school. Had to tie a running Bowline so the rescue rope would cinch around the torso. This was back before fall arrest belts and safeties.

[@Khanclansith]

Bowline, double figure 8, and sheepshank are line work gold.

[@UrbanGrrl69]

I learned this knot from your channel and it is so useful once you get the hang of it. If I ever slip down a grassy verge I want you at the other end of a bowline para cord to my rescue. 👌

[@brianhetrick1301]

50 Shades of Corporal... I love it!

[@LycanthropiesSpell]

In school ( fishery school ) we were taught about 57 ( I kid you not ;-) different knots and stitches. All of them were taught to be made behind our back - and with a time limit. Don't know half of them now ( 30 odd years ago... ), but I can still do all of them behind my back. We were also taught to make nets in Manilla string, with our bare hands ( no needle ), and after finishing it, to take it apart again...good ol' days :-) We were also encouraged to have a knife on us at all times ( as one would on board a ship ), don't think that would go down well with some of the populous today ;-) Even now when I leave the house, I always have at least three knives on me...hey I was told to always have a knife on one selves 'cause it will save your live more often the one would think... Skipper was right...more then once.

[@NativeSun803]

[@joshualinder6839]

Thanks for showing me the 2nd way. I am a Boatswain Mate in the Navy and never seen it done that way. This will be so much easier to teach my junior sailors thank you Corporal

[@LazyRadagast]

I love the bowline. In french we call it noeud de chaise (chair knot). I knew how to tie it but not the way you do around the tree. Very instructive!

[@thomasr.jackson2940]

Good stuff. Multiple ties for knots is a very useful skill.

[@richardross7219]

Good video. My old man was a prewar Coastie. When I was little he taught me the one handed bowline but it was a different situation. You had fallen overboard and the line was thrown to you. You grab on with your left hand and tie the bowline with with your right. Quickly hitting the end in your hand makes the tail of the rope come back to your palm and you grab it to complete the knot. He drilled me on it until it was second nature. In the mid 1960s I won every Boy Scout knot tying contest in our district. Since then I taught it to Boy Scouts, Soldiers and even 3 Force Recon Marines that I ran into. Try my scenario for the fun of it. Good Luck, Rick

[@Nassangler]

A terrific presentation on this useful rescue knot. Thank you.

[@76irodriguez]

1:32 You can undo knots that are very tight by gently hammering them all around the knot. It takes a lot of time, but you can save the rope and reuse it without having to cut it... if you don't mind spending the time. I have to say, this is the best video I have ever seen that explains the practical use of knots in different situations. Excellent work!

[@southernrockiesselfreliance]

Great variety of content man, keep It up. Much appreciated.

[@nickrucinski8786]

That video was OUTSTANDING! the part of tying it around yourself and objects was very helpful. And let me end this by saying one handed blindfold? You’re a beast thank you for the video!

I loved! This video ! I only knew the 1 way to tie a bowline knot. This was fun also thanks. 👍🏻

[@chaikagome9725]

Yes, a double overhand knot for bowline backup is reliable, secure, and hard to make a mistake. I also use well.

[@brian5606]

[@mmiggins1369]

That shirt is Bad AF!! I know it's the amazing bowline again to the rescue, but I can't help getting excited. Anything that keeps me from cutting my cordage or trying to chew a knot apart. Again thanks for the awesome videos. Everything you do is amazing. NC

I literally spit out/lost my coffee with the 50 shades comment! And then the birdbox comment too! Great video, great humor.. makes Learning fun and easy to remember!

Corporal, thank you for sharing another awesome tutorial, I found it easy to follow,, I will be keeping this knot in my bag of tricks. Thanks again, have a wonderful week, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🔥☕️🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻

[@valsblackcatsrule8740]

The best thing about this knot is that it won't tighten up. You can keep a knot at the end of your cord when you make up the line and, you're always ready for any situation. 50 shades of Corpral? Hahahahaha! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!

[@mistastabs5840]

Fantastic, I've watched your other knot videos and this was the best version of the one-handed bowline. As always the knowledge sharing.

[@laxel01]

hahaha! actually the chicks were impressed hahaha me and my mom were intrigued! you got new subscribers!

Another great knot video.

[@jamessotherden5909]

Thank you for showing a second way of tying A bowline. I had never seen that way before. I am going to practice that one. Maybe even try the one handed.

[@jynnandtonnyx]

Great video! You just keep getting better and better, and I am that much smarter for it. Thank you!

[@blueyedblonde1956]

Thx for teaching me how to do the bowline around myself or someone else. Ur the 1st to do it in a way i could actual apply it correctly. Like the 1st loop in the rope looks like an overhand 6P. Giving me the loop on the outside and rope laying on the top. Also which ends to pull tight and dress had me going. Practice, practice i got it now. I relearned about 20 knot/hitches in total but applying them in real life outdoor applications i found your channel one of the best. So i can see every angle as u r tying and to what and why. Alot of knots are shown by others but few people show for what and why! Thx alot. Very good videos!

[@travissmith5336]

I like that you showed multiple ways even blindfolded. Great video! Know videos tend to be boring and hard to learn...the way you put this together worked out great. I also like that you used a bright rope which makes it much easier to follow along

[@dannybrown6678]

I was in the Navy and always use the Bowline, but was never showed the second technic. Thanks.

[@stewmiller778]

Wow. A one-hand self-rescue bowline. After four fails I have it down. Many thanks for sharing.

[@tylerbridgeman757]

I like how you apply this versatile knot in different situations. Its easier to perform the knot when you see it done a few times. After watching this I don't think I'll ever forget how to do the bowline knot. Thank you

[@davidsolomon7377]

I’m an old school Coastie. It’s been a while since I practiced my knots. Fun to remember all these.

[@arthuralexander0918]

Thanks for the teaching videos! I’m not an outdoorsman, but learning about knots can be useful anywhere! Again, thanks!

[@TheRandomPolishGuy]

Now I know 3 methods of tying the bowline. And im sure im several more. Knots are such an interesting world. Thanks for your videos! They are amazing!

[@laurachapin204]

Thank you using a bright orange large diameter rope!!

[@blackhatbushcraft]

Best explanation and demonstration of the versatility of the bowline yet. There is always a method to the madness. Well done bro. PS, good luck with Dakota...

[@MrByTheMile]

Dude this was a great video ! Humor was right amount of corporal to funny ratio lol

[@OldNorsebrewery]

50 Shades of Corporal? outstanding. I´d see that movie. Cheers

[@kryptoknight69]

Great vid 👍. Practicing these I did notice there is a potential to tie it wrong. The litte snap you give in actually tightening the knot is important as the loop that secures the knot needs to be on the side of the running end. I noticed you verified this a couple times with your thumb like after tieing the blindfolded one handed bowline. The issue lies when the loop securing the knot lies on the side of the standing end resulting in a running knot. This can happen if you tie the knot slowly when tightening & don't verify the position of the loop that secures the knot.

[@barronvonpitbull4544]

Blindfolded great job! Thats how I play my drums time to time! Excellent brother!

[@keithmcewan7799]

This is my #1 knot, it's the first knot I remember my dad teaching me. We are starting cub scouts up in our town and I'm making a booklet of knots for them. 1st one in the book? You guessed it. Thanks for the video, as I've never done the one hand around the body.

[@1959jimbob]

Thank you for doing these how to's. I learn a ton every time I watch. But what I wanted to say today is that by you showing us how to tie the same knots in several different ways, it really makes a huge difference and it takes away all the "But I can't" talk. Keep em coming, keep up the good work and just plain old keep on keepin on.

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Great video. Thanks for the demonstration on showing us the easy way to tie a bowline knot

[@jefftitterington7600]

I often use a bowline as an anchor for a rope (e.g. lashing a cover to my BBQ) but haven't heard about your second setup. It seems like a faster way to tie the same knot. Adding a clove hitch to the bight is also new to me. I've always added two half hitches around the standing line. Neither should jam, as they're not load-bearing.

[@christopherbunik2116]

Again a great guy once said learn the skill and own the skill. Thank you for your service.

[@aliceg9571]

Thanks for the informative video, as always, and for the letting us see the comedic side of you. Keep them coming. Great video. ATB

[@chrishenry571]

I learned this alternate version of the Bowline in one of his other videos. Guys, this is a really useful and -super-easy- to tie knot, learn this one! Add canadian jam and a taught line hitch, and there isn't much you can't do with those three. Amaze your friends!

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Another good video! In Ranger School, we had to tie all of the required knots with drive-on rag covering our eyes! We also tied a double bowline for rappelling!

[@bournejerz3938]

Thanks for fully showing the bowline and its many uses. Excellent info for everyday and emergency situations.

[@Flashahol]

Outstanding! Better and more relevant content than any other video on the subject.

[@Catspurrlounge]

Outstanding period of instruction as always. I’ve known how to tie a bowline for ever. How ever, you did correct me on the double overhand knot. Apparently I’ve been doing it wrong for sometime. The one handed Technique is new to me and something for me to train on. Thanks again and Simper Fi as always brother.

[@pujo28]

Hey love the videos. I’m not sure if u know about what we in the FDNY call the “Handcuff Knot”? It was developed after a fatal fire where a member was trapped in a cellar and they were unable to rescue him in time. This knot was developed and extremely simple to tie in 2 seconds and it forms 2 loops that wrap around a victims wrists like handcuffs and pulls tight when a rescue pulls on the working ends. It comes undone when u let it go. If interested I can maybe post a video on how to tie it and how it’s used and maybe put a link in this comment section as a reply so u can check it out. Prob the best knot to lift someone vertically whether there conscious or not. U just need access to their hands. Could be a lifesaver

[@tommydenton5600]

The videos have always been great but when the hat is on backward, the real showman comes out. Keep it up!

[@mlsknnr]

Outstanding as usual. A very versatile knot for many applications. For rescue we would teach the double bowline climbing knot, it is a little more comfortable and can stabilize a victim if you separate the loops and put one under the arms and the other below the hip line.

[@DCavalcade]

I love the knot lessons! However, in Boy Scouts I learned a different method for the self-rescue bowline. It can be done with one hand. Long end in left hand short end in right. Short tail held like a knife pointing along the direction of the long end. Right wrist crosses the long end twice like hammer blows. Then the short end circles the long line from the top, grasp the short end, and pull the short end all the way thru. Bowline.

[@ariftheizz94]

There's a video of him doing in one hand with eye close

[@wattienewton5967]

I've Used this knot a lot one of the most versatile one's that not likely to jam up Truckers hitch is next on the the list used true pull down tightens loads extra tight .

[@KeepItSimpleSemperFi]

Well done. I’ve been tying the first way (rabbit, tree, hole) and learned something today about the other way.
