Just came across this video. Your slip stockmans bowline knot is the best I have seen. I will always use this knot in place of the regular bowline. Especially for boating. Thank you. Great segment.

Thank you, Philip. I'm so glad you found it useful.

Yeah, so... I should be studying. Yet I ended up watching how to tie horses. I don't even have a horse. I live in a city. I should really reconsider my life choices. Nevertheless, it was an interesting video

[@jbitranch]

Sounds to me like you just need a horse 😊

[@KingsMom831]

Great video! One of the best “knot tying” videos I’ve seen.

is the slip stock bowman's noose one of the many different quck release safety knots ive only ever used one which is actually called a safety knot its what i was taught here in the UK to alway use as its easy and its much safer and quicker to release in an emergency for say the horse is spooking or there's a fire and the horse needs to be lead to safety also i did once use that knot you said you use more and the horse actually learned how to untie it by watching the grooms and that untie it

[@BigLakeNubians]

For the quick release I use a loop in the loose side not attached to the horse over the rope then from the loose side under you go pull a loop in from the left side of the loop and there you be a quick release with a easy one rope fast release for a puller (down side a horse can untie themselves if they see this done for many years our older horses know how very easily!)

[@fkxlrjs]

The Picket Line knot is also known as the Alpine Butterfly knot. It's a very useful and easy to untie knot, and it can securely and strongly handle tension either from the standing or running ends, or from the bight itself.

[@Spoons7414]

Yes sir I’ve always know it as a butterfly as well

[@pietfonteyn1397]

Alpine butterfly… top knot!!!

Good clips Bro... Can you explain now WHY Wrap thing UP and Tie Things DOWN?? Why wrap Up and Under and Tie Over and Down?? Why does it matter? Curious minds really want to know. Good stuff

[@jbitranch]

Thanks, Gerry. Sure. Happy to explain. The tying down is rather obvious as it's simply the simplest way, but there's a reason for the wrap up. The reason in that horses fidget, and if wrapped down, they can cause that wrap to keep wiggling itself shorter and shorter as it works its way down around the pipe they're wrapped to until the find themselves tied right to their chin and some will blow up. The importance is that generally the reason they are wrapped and not tied is that they're new to tying and prone to pulling back. They're not solid yet. So, finding themselves too short could cause a panic. Of course, that's why they're wrapped and the wrap will give slack and they'll realize they didn't die and in the long run it will actually help their tying confidence, but, if they were wrapped while you were trimming their feet, and you were underneath them for their blow up, well, that could get a little Western on you. So, wrap up and tie down for the long term safety of horse and human both.

@@jbitranch Yeah Good!

[@sherryhanna3420]

I only use a quick release knot, especially when my horse is wearing a rope halter. All I need.
